I think that's more a reflection on American beer making then anything else.

Anyone who could say non-alcholic beer is better has not drunk



or



or



I could go on, (and on and on and on).

Oh no. I've drunk, I've drunk a lot. I agree in the end non-alcoholic can't beat the real deal but some of them put themselves in the running

A cold corona, slice of lemon, summer night....AWESOME!

And another strange fact about myself: I have this almost fetishistic love for the Sweet Pea scents line in Bath and Body Works. My ex hated the smell so I had to settle for moonlight path ughh

I'm spraying myself with sweet pea body mist as we speak

With more and more micro breweries popping up, beer is getting better and more available.
There are a few bars were they will stare at you strangely if you ask for a brand that is more commonly sold by the case at a discount price. I'm not sure that they even stock those 'American' beers.
I have come across and had recommended some outstanding beer over the last decade that are locally brewed.
The major breweries try to make similar beer, they just don't have the right brew masters, I guess.

I hate ice in my drinks.  I love for my sodas or juice to be warm.

I use too much ice. I fill the glass most of the way with ice before I add the drink. It's impossible for a drink to be too cold.

I was that bored at work today I managed to realise I don't actually know my national anthem and for 20 odd years I've just mumbled over the three lines I don't know.

Relating to that I also thought when we eventually get a King I wonder if the crowd at football games or whatever will forget and sing 'God save our gracious Qu-KING'

Which led to me thinking I don't think it's right that in order to show my allegiance to my country I have to say that

A) I believe in God and
B) I think the Queens tangtastic.

All of which circled round to me thinking 'wow I really am bored'.

My sense of species and personality are way stronger than my sense of gender. Sometimes, I ask my mind, "what gender am I?" and it yells back, "MAD SCIENTIST!"

I don't think very many people know more than the first couple of verses of the UK national anthem. Personally, I think it should be changed.

I quite like Land of Hope and Glory. It's a lot more rousing. Although I'd re-word it for the current age.

The original first verse:

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!

I'd change it to:

Land of Hope and Glory, is what it used to be,
Now an Orwellian nightmare, are you taking the pee?
Caged in ever tighter, when endless laws are set;
God, we're sick of Big Brother, and the mountain of debt!

Go ahead, sing along. It sounds much better :

I think that the dead Nicole in Dead Space 2 is hotter than the alive Nicole.

I'm a bit of a health freak.

LOL! I have heard that genderless voice in my head say the same thing.
I never do get an answer about gender. It's only apparent between the thoughts.
Logic just seems to f* up the whole question.

Me too, that is the basis of my androgynity. Though mad scientist isn't mine, more Grub Street Hack.

Oh, and I would choose Jerusalem as my grand British song to use as an anthem, I love the craziness of it.

I rather enjoy national anthems.  In the US, our main one was based on a old drinking song.

And I believe all Americans owe a debt of gratitude to our British cousins.  If it hadn't been for the Germans, who were poorly running the UK back in the 1770's, there would be no USA, and if the Brits hadn't sacked the city of Baltimore in 1814, Francis Scott Key would not have been encouraged to set his poetry to "To Anacreon in Heaven."

Every time our team wins in a multiplayer match I salute the game until the final kill cam is done playing.  If our team is the Spetnaz and they start communicating in Russian I will say small Russian phrases that I know that makes no sense given the context of the game.  I just say them to feel more bad A

Well, it wasn't really the German's running it, it was third generation Germans and they had limited power. It was mainly English and Scots running it.

Plus, they weren't doing too bad, what with a cultural reformation in arts and letters, an explosion in science and a beginning to the agricultural and industrial revolutions. Poor governance of some colonies mind you.

I was in a movie about fungus zombies.

I dislike the number 3 and I try my best to avoid dealing with situations that have numbers ending in the number 3.  I like the number 4.

For years, I've imagined having a brother. For the first few years of imagining, he was my twin (until my mom told me I did have an older sibling who didn't survive- then I imagined him as the older sibling).
Now, I'm wondering if he is me or a part of me or if I just imagined him because I wanted someone to support me. Or both.

Weird, I've imagined having a twin brother since I was little. His appearance has changed over the years, as a child he was chubby och blond but he has becomed skinny and has darker hair nowadays. His named used to be Andreas but now it's Stephen and sometimes he's in my dreams when I sleep. Weird thing is that he kinda looks like me if I was a guy. It's probably really messed up, but I often feel i miss him, even though he never actually existed (that i know of).

I think I eat about the same amount of food as I did when I was 8. Not on purpose, my stomach just fills up so fast.

Same with me. He looks the same as me if I was a guy (even down to the hair style I always wanted, but only started wearing now) other than being a bit taller. Except he doesn't actually exist. Or maybe he does. I've kind of felt like he and I are the same person. It's kind of weird and difficult to explain.
