"The Best Beer"

I just thought of this question and then I immediately realized the complexity.  So, I'm bringing it to the blog to decide. This is not about choosing the most complexly-hopped 169 minute IPA. This is about the best beer anytime, all the time.  When thinking about your answer of "What is the best beer?" please keep the following parameters in mind.

•  This beer is good in any occasion

• This is your "dessert island" beer

• This is your beer for all seasons

Rules

1. A beer will be considered if it is nominated and that nomination is seconded by a second party
2. Any beer motioned and seconded will be lin the final vote
3. You may petition, whine, clamor, spew venom, etc... for your beer
4. If you nominate a light beer you are out of the IC effective immediately

"The Best Beer"

Pretty excellent 28-min documentary

Documentary on kid as he plays baseball while Haiti suffers cholera epidemic and wreaks havoc in his community. Great music, sound, editing and story. It's free and might make your girlfriend/wife cry. Or you (Weiss/Faust).

BLACK FAUST

CHICAGO _ The rarely seen and elusive black Faust was spotted at the uber-hipster mecca of band snobbery, Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Square last weekend.

       Black Faust, wearing his trademark life source bracelet from the planet of Endor, also donned knee-high rain boots despite clear skies, a hat reminiscent of the 4-Non Blondes and a pair of macro-made polyester shorts. He also sipped Earl Grey tea infused with a tickle of gin and lemon zest, known as a "Meantini."

       "Every heard of it?" He asked as he slurped the last few drops of it from a silly straw. "Didn't think so."

       The black Faust, not to be confused with his white SXSW Passion Pit starved Texas doppleganger, was haughty and aloof when asked which band he was most excited to see.
       "I'd tell you," he said. "But I'm sure you've never heard of them."
       Black Faust was seen later in the day pretending to know most of the lyrics to the Sleigh Bells hit "Comeback Kid," before skipping off with the rest of his "beaucoup d'amis," as he refers to his group of non-French friends, to catch Atlas Sound's hit which he called "Walkaround."

       "It's Walkabout," his friend Kiblet corrected.
       Black Faust then looked at him, spit on his leggings and said, "You're out, Kibshit."
       When leaving the park Saturday night, Black Faust was asked if he'd be back for the festival's close on Sunday.
       "Are you freaking kidding me?" He asked. "Gawd no. Vampire Weekend is opening. What is this, 2010?"
       He added that he also had to work the 1-9pm shift at Walgreen's the next day.

Wimbledon Final

In case you were an idiot and didn't wake up this morning at 7 AM CST,... Our boy Roger Federer (not to be confused with AChub Williams) knocked off that Serbian asshole Novak Djokovic in 4 sets.  This was the first time Federer came into a match at Wimbledon as an underdog since... well, since before Ghost Bar happened.

This will set up a historic match-up against Great Britain's own Andy Murray in the Finals on Sunday.  Murray knocked off Frenchman JoWilly Tsonga in 4 sets becoming the first Brit (..Scot really) to REACH the Wimbledon finals since 1938! Murray has overcome a lot of pressure to get to this point, now the question is can he become the first British Wimbledon champ since Fred Perry in 1936?!

Wimbledon is the one time every year you should be watching tennis.  So set your alarm early on Sunday and watch it, don't be an idiot. 

Happy Birthday

Julian Assange is actually Lucas Morey's father.
Can't see a picture of this guy and not think he looks like the Duke if he was an Australian whistleblower that exposed the US State Dept and not a medical device salesman.

Weiss who were you trying to rationalize as look-a-likes at the lakehouse?

I feel it should be brought before a jury of peers.

PANAMA CITY BEACH — A man suspected of taking “bath salts” went on a rampage outside a restaurant early Wednesday, pulling 30 feet of guardrail from its moorings, toppling a life size statue of Elvis Presley and telling police he was “God’s chosen one” before fighting them, according to police.
Ryan Michael Shropshire, 20, of Santa Rosa Beach, was not arrested easily on charges of criminal mischief and resisting an officer without violence. Pepper spray and a stun gun didn’t have any effect on him, and it took six police officers to get in him into handcuffs and leg restraints, according to arrest reports.

Those reports give the following account:
Panama City Beach Police came across Shropshire just before 5 a.m. Wednesday sitting the parking lot of a business near the All American Diner, where a 30-foot section of guardrail had been pulled out of a concrete entrance ramp. Another guardrail was merely bent. The support cable holding a life size statue of the King had been pulled off, and Elvis’ torso had ripped from his legs.
The damage is estimated at more than $1,000.
After getting that out of his system, Shropshire walked to a nearby Purple Haze and sat down in the parking lot. When an officer approached him, he jumped to his feet, began screaming violently about being “God’s chosen one,” and challenging the officer to follow through with a warning to Tase him.
Shropshire, who is 5’10” and weighs 200 pounds, according to the report, would not be restrained despite several ultimately unsuccessful takedown techniques employed by the first responding officer. With the help of five other officers, Shropshire was finally subdued, except for his head, which he continued to bang on the ground.
He was suspected of being under the influence of a controlled substance — police believe he was using a synthetic drug commonly referred to as bath salts, said Chief Drew Whitman — so he was taken to the hospital for treatment before he was booked into the Bay County Jail on charges of criminal mischief and resisting an officer without violence.
