  1. finally got to try all three of these this weekend: Eclat - American Oak Wine Barrel-Aged India Pale Ale (aged in merlot and chardonnay barrels) Nocturna - French Oak Port Wine Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout (not as good) Aurora - American Oak Wine Barrel-Aged Altbier Tasters of those three kicked off my long weekend in beer, followed by: The Reverend - Avery Black Prince Porter - English Ales Chimay Red Big Daddy IPA - Speakeasy Smokestack Lightning Imperial Stout - Magnolia Old Thunderpussy Barleywine - Magnolia tastes of Magnolia: Let It Rauch, Four Winds Quadrupel, Delilah Jones Rye, and Promised Land Imperial IPA Saison de Lente - The Bruery Autumn Maple - The Bruery (one of my favorites, sweet and nutty and strong) Black Orchard - The Bruery (I prefer the White Orchard, a wheat beer with lavender in it) Asahi (had to have something with the sake... *giggle*) Two Lane Blacktop - 21st Ammendment Imperial Jack - 21st Ammendment tasters of 21st Ammendment: Blind Lust, Hop Crisis, and Beer School Damnation Blackthorn Cider
  2. I love to cook almost as much as I love to eat... NY strip topped with sauteed garlic & portabello, spiced rainbow chard with garlic and onion, Stone smoked porter... ♥ really wish my camera had a flash...
  3. same rules as the beer thread... Tonight I'm trying: 2006 version ...14% ...pretty dry ...not very acidic ...fruity/cherry notes ...well rounded, smooth finish
  4. I just had a collaboration beer that speakeasy and a few people I work with did... it was pretty rad. Kind of hoppy, but overall pretty mild. yummmy.
  5. Oh, and agreed, 21st Ammendment's Hell or High Watermelon is SHIT. I have tasted 1 good watermelon beer, that actually tasted like watermelon, at the GABF. The flavor definitely had a lot to do with the added lambic. Also just picked up these two yesterday. I've been on a malt liquor kick for the last week and needed something to break me out of the po' man's cycle. The Rev is an old favorite, and I'm excited to try this Kriek ale...
  6. Cali, been chillin... laying low mostly. riding my bike. working a lot. what's up with you? when are you coming back to the city? Is that this Sunday or the 14th? I could come harass you on the 14th.
  7. Starting tomorrow! http://sfbeerweek.org/
  8. Older men that prey on younger females are called LECHERS. (either sex preying on anyone underage could be a pedofile) and I always thought younger women who prey on older men were called bitches with daddy issues...
  9. oh? Also, one of the hardly-ever-fail anti-puking foods for me is bananas. They're quick, easy, probably won't come up, but if they do, they are easy on the taste buds. And on the topic of taking supplements in general, they're there to supplement a regular diet, not to replace it... Food-based vitamins are easier for your body to absorb since they contain the necessary vitamins and minerals in a natural, rather than synthetic form. I take a food-based multi and a b-complex (for stress and energy) every day. I try to get most of my omegas from my diet, though. Not a big fan of the fish oil.
  10. A good friend of mine for Halloween 2007...
  11. ...and just when you think it's all behind you, you wake up and realize that your tits are on the internet... again... awesome.
  12. ok, Swamp. What if your girl farts during sex?
  13. LINK Don’t give money to Haiti Jan 15, 2010 16:30 EST philanthropy Between the Twitter campaigns and the telethons and the corporate donations and the record sums raised through text messages, you can be sure that an enormous amount of cash is going to end up being raised to help Haiti. This is not necessarily a good thing. For one thing, right now there’s very little that can be done with the money. There are myriad bottlenecks and obstacles involved in getting help to the Haitians who need it, but lack of funds is not one of them. For the next few weeks, help will come largely from governments, who are also spending hundreds of millions of dollars and mobilizing thousands of soldiers to the cause. But with the UN alone seeking to raise $550 million, it’s going to be easy to say that all the money donated to date isn’t remotely enough. The problem is that Haiti, if it wasn’t a failed state before the earthquake, is almost certainly a failed state now — and one of the lessons we’ve learned from trying to rebuild failed states elsewhere in the world is that throwing money at the issue is very likely to backfire. What’s more, charities raising money for Haiti right now are going to have to earmark that money to be spent in Haiti and in Haiti only. For a Haiti-specific charity like Yele, that’s not an option. But as The Smoking Gun shows, Yele is not the soundest of charitable institutions: it has managed only one tax filing in its 12-year existence, and it has a suspicious habit of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on paying either Wyclef Jean personally or paying companies where he’s a controlling shareholder, or paying his recording-studio expenses. If you want to be certain that your donation will be well spent, you might be a bit worried that, for instance, Yele is going to be receiving 20% of the proceeds of the telethon. Meanwhile, none of the money from the telethon will go to the wholly admirable Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders, which has already received enough money over the past three days to keep its Haiti mission running for the best part of the next decade. MSF is behaving as ethically as it can, and has determined that the vast majority of the spike in donations that it’s received in the past few days was intended to be spent in Haiti. It will therefore earmark that money for Haiti, and try to spend it there over the coming years, even as other missions, elsewhere in the world, are still in desperate need of resources. Do give money to MSF, then, but if you do, make sure that your donation is unrestricted. The charity will do its very best in Haiti either way, but by allowing your money to be spent anywhere, you will help people in dire need all over the world, not just in Haiti. Here’s the message on MSF’s website: We are incredibly grateful for the generous support from our donors for the emergency in Haiti. MSF has been working in Haiti for 19 years, most recently operating three emergency hospitals in Port-au-Prince, and is mobilizing a large emergency response to this disaster. Our immediate response in the first hours following the disaster in Haiti was only possible because of private unrestricted donations from around the world received before the earthquake struck. We are currently reinforcing our teams on the ground in order to respond to the immediate medical needs and to assess the humanitarian needs that MSF will be addressing in the months ahead. We are now asking our donors to give unrestricted funding, or to our Emergency Relief Fund. These types of funds ensure that our medical teams can react to the Haiti emergency and humanitarian crises all over the world, particularly neglected crises that remain outside the media spotlight. The last time there was a disaster on this scale was the Asian tsunami, five years ago. And for all its best efforts, the Red Cross has still only spent 83% of its $3.21 billion tsunami budget — which means that it has over half a billion dollars left to spend. Not to put too fine a point on it, but that’s money which could be spent in Haiti, if it weren’t for the fact that it was earmarked. It’s human nature to want to believe that in the wake of a major disaster, we can all do our bit to help just by giving generously. And if there’s a silver lining to these tragedies at all, it’s that they significantly increase the total amount of money donated to important charities by individuals around the world. But if a charity is worth supporting, then it’s worth supporting with unrestricted funds. Because the last thing anybody wants to see in a couple of years’ time is an unseemly tussle over what happened to today’s Haiti donations, even as other international tragedies receive much less public attention. Update: Saundra Schimmelpfennig has a great list of what to do and what not to do when you’re making donations in the wake of a disaster; it includes, of course, that donations should be unrestricted. And the Philanthrocapitalists suggest that you “match fund what you have given to Haiti with a gift to someone suffering just as much, but less dramatically, elsewhere in the world”. Update 2: Sophie Delaunay of MSF USA responds in the comments. And in case this blog entry isn’t clear, let me be explicit: DO give lots and lots of money to MSF’s Emergency Relief Fund. Give now, because the tragedy in Haiti is in the news and because you want to do something to help; MSF is there and is helping and is a great cause. And then continue to give in the future, because there are many other equally tragic situations elsewhere in the world, where MSF is doing just as great a job, but there isn’t the same degree of media coverage and there’s much less money flowing in. Earmarking your funds for Haiti in particular is not helpful. But that’s no reason to give nothing at all. *What are your thoughts on the alleged corruption of Wyclef's organization? (It seems most of it has happened in 2007, and as a new non-profit, sure, the spending could exceed the donations. Since then, they've grown, and can probably cover the expenses. However, the fact that they are patronizing Wyclef-owned businesses seems like borderline embezzlement to me...) *Do any of you know more about the remaining funds from the Tsunami relief efforts or about earmarked funds for specific emergency relief?
  14. exactly what sm2xl said... do your thing, but don't be nasty, homie. use condoms all the time unless you're exclusive with one person for a length of time. yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and HPV can all be transmitted from one girl to the next through you without you even knowing... wash your sheets, clean your room, etc. if you're thorough, there won't be any reason for either to find out about the other, but when/if it does... "what's between us is between us. what's between her and I is between her and I."
  15. I'm not gonna lie, I'd be looking at his dick. "I hate size queens, but I love their boyfriends..."

At Star Wars Burlesque, a balloon-clad vixen bursts through the body of a worm the size of a small planet, engages in some light spanking and then chains herself to a wall..." discuss...

  21. "Often though, in the colloquial sense, the idea of having daddy issues relates more to the fact that a girl received inadequate or inappropriate attention from the father figure in her life. An absent father might trigger a girl’s desire to seek male approval elsewhere, and as a teen or young adult, to do so in a sexual manner. An abusive father might seriously wound a father/daughter relationship. Girls, or young women, might express unresolved daddy issues by seeking relationships of a sexual or romantic nature with older men, or alternately, they might replicate their poor relationships with fathers by having abusive partners. Generally, daddy issues implies that a female remains incomplete and seeks some sort of fatherly or familial relationship with mates, which is not the best foundation upon which to build a relationship. Fathers or strong and consistent male presence in a girl’s life do have a significant affect on self-esteem. This is largely undisputed by experts in psychology. Feeling attractive and loved by “daddy” (or other strong male figure) can help a girl have more confidence and strength. This is not necessarily penis envy, but it does appear as though girls and women can prosper better in their lives if they had positive male input from a father figure. Without that, girls may express daddy issues in seeking out father figures, or placing even very good men with whom they are in relationship, in positions that they really can’t adequately fill. *** Daddy issues can thus be perceived as attempting to work out problems with the father/daughter relationship, either its complete absence, abuse of the relationship, or unreliability. A woman who goes through life without these issues is often one who had a secure and loving father figure in her life. A person still working on this may try to make today’s relationships “serve” a need that was not adequately fulfilled in childhood and adolescent years. This can lead to poor relationships with men in the present and the future, until the women is able to reconcile a past father/daughter relationship, often through therapy, that wasn’t altogether satisfactory." -from http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-daddy-issues.htm
  22. Uh, no. Girls who whore around a lot with a bunch of different dudes want the attention, and have low self esteem. Back to the whole not enough love from daddy. The women I've met who got too much love from daddy tend to be afraid of men (read: lesbians) and/or have that angry feminist attitude where they need to "fight" for their rights. I even worked with a male to female transsexual who went through the change because of fatherly abuse as a child. She is so afraid of men, she gets panic attacks around them... If you get a girl who is trying to fuck you all the time, chances are she loves the cock and you're doing it right. She'd probably rather fuck the same dude over and over, rather than have to find another guy 'cause you're not giving it to her often enough. But I guess it depends, too. I've met girls who are just trying to get dug out by any dude all the time 'cause they literally *need* it, like on some junkie type shit. Look at it like this, if a girl is straight playing herself to get laid, she's got issues. If she's got game and would up and walk away if you don't play your cards right, she's got some self respect. Sex is supposed to feel good. Women *should* masturbate as much as dudes (ok, maybe not as much as some dudes). But it would definitely keep some women from being emotional, needy little girls. Everyone tries to turn it into some sort of a complex when women like it too much, yet forget the fact that more men than women visit prostitutes, go to strip clubs, and are the consumers of sex-related products (porn/toys) is rarely addressed. Double standards are for the 1950s.
