Ok..so a sweep is hyperbole, but the flyers simply don't match up with the
devils in any category.  I'd be surprised if the series isn't all but
decided by the time I pick up my tickets at will call next monday for the
show.  And if they don't play tundra/desert, there will be a riot.  Ain't
gonna get no code outta me.

I believe the word your looking for is "space-ranger".

Beer is yucky.  It makes your breath reek and doesn't make nice with the
other liquors in your tummy.  

Might as well use that ticket for kindling, its worthless.
Did you see Arnott in the corner with Dessy?  He threw him aside like he was
a begging pesant!  
They can't play the physical game without lindros, and when they had the
open ice they gave up three goals in a period..what are they going to whine
the puck into the goal?  I think not.  The Flyers barely have one line that
can skate with Jersey, let alone four.  Talk about cavemen with skates.

while I generally dislike typical american beers, I have a spot in my heart 
for Yuengling. I've been in Boston for the last three years for college, and 
I can't explain how much I miss cheesesteaks and Yuengling Black and Tan. My 
parents came up yesterday from Philly to move me into my new apartment, and 
they brought me up a case as a housewarming gift. Yummy.

Elliott Smith tonight in Boston. can't wait.

  No, no, no.  I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.  I'm definitely not talking 
about microbreweries.  Generally, even at their worst, they're still pretty 
darned good (a favorite local of mine is the Triumph microbrewery located 
on the Princeton campus in New Jersey).

  What I was talking about was the "mainstream" US beers (Budweiser, 
Coors, Miller, etc) vs. the mainstream Canadian beers (Molson, Labatte, 
Moosehead*, etc).  They all taste like crap, they're all brewed with crap, 
and both US and Canadian beers have the same alcohol content (despite 
common belief that Canadian beer is stronger).

>are spoiled with some of the best beer in the country

  Agreed!  While I haven't had a chance to sample any of it, Oregon's 
microbreweries are near-legendary in the beer circles, or whatever, 
heh.  The one I hear mentioned most often is the Anchor microbrewery, if 
that counts for anything.  I'd love to try some of the stuff out there, but 
it's difficult; i'm in Philadelphia.

  Still, my general belief is that if I'm going to go for beer, I try 
to get it from the places that use old recipes and have been around for a 
long time, since they've known how to do it far longer than others 
have.  That's why I usually use Europe as my main source.  While Yuengling 
may be "America's Oldest Brewery," they're still a few thousand years 
behind the Belgian monasteries :)

yaahh... maybe if I wear my Red Hook shirt to the Modest Mouse show in
Boston Isaac will be reminded of home and invite me to join the band. That's

Obviously if you are complaining about the beer her in

  But Canadian beer blows just as much as beer from the US.
