If it's not Bolivian or Columbian, why bother?

All of shiner beers are brewed in a small brewery in shiner, texas. Same forumla since 1909, brought straight from german and czech immigrants.

I had some Shiner tonight, and while I drank the amazing beer, that you are jealous that your home state could produce, I thought about how fucking much of a waste of life you are.

People like you are the reason I wish that Texas wouldn't have joined the Union in 1845 and just stayed a Republic. We would be sitting pretty while the rest of the U.S. is going to hell in a handbasket.

Typical dumb fucking Texan...No wonder New Mexico demands you go through the sheep dip before crossing the state line.

A beer in Texas made from the same formula brought by German and Czech immigrants....since 1909 no less! Stop giving credit to Texass for something they never did.

Dummy.

Yeah, Texass would be so much better off it it hadn't joined the union...

There would be statues of Pancho Villa al over the goddamned place, you'd be habla'ing Espanol, and illegally crossing the border every day to get to work.

Idiot.

Bigfoot is some serious stuff. It's not a "put siding on the garage wall" sort of beer. More of a holiday "get drunk so you can deal with your asshole relatives" kind of beer. Thankfully Sierra Nevada has many other brews to choose from. I'd go with the IPA for the garage siding days. Just keep the cooler full.

Sierra Nevada is an excellent beer, especially the seasonal IPA as I prefer ales. But I've been burned out on it lately..

[Redballjets88]

They still have "dry counties" in Texas, don't they?

Talk about fucked up alcohol laws.

Yeah but for the most part it is dry to liquor sales, most counties are repealing their alcohol sales laws. And restaurants have ways to have bars and sell beer and liquor.

Plus we still drink more beer than the rest of the nation combined

Say what you want, but at least my state isn't dying because of the bad economy. Fuck the rustbelt. While you guys are losing thousands of jobs we are still creating jobs.

and Lounge, find some more fuel for you fire cocksucker. You got it all wrong, You don't know shit about me, I find it funny how you think you have it figured out, when actually you are totally wrong about everything you say.

Go take the bi-polar meds, some sleeping pills, and some microbrew, fall asleep and don't wake up. If not go get a job, see the light of day, and try to find someone to love you, other than the hooker down the street.

So the BCE's adopted "home state" is the state that's suffering the least from the second BCE Great Depression?

Wow, there's a shock.

Your State, as if you contirbute anything to the economy other than comic book purchases.

You pay no mortgage, rent, or utilities. And next to no taxes.

and Lounge, find some more fuel for you fire cocksucker. You got it all wrong, You don't know shit about me, I find it funny how you think you have it figured out, when actually you are totally wrong about everything you say.

.

I only know what you've posted here.

You're 20, you live at home, work in a hotel, and know nothing about your own presiden't Social Security platform.

Go take the bi-polar meds, some sleeping pills, and some microbrew, fall asleep and don't wake up. If not go get a job, see the light of day, and try to find someone to love you, other than the hooker down the street.

I have a job. 2 in fact. Both in the music industry, one I own myself, and work from home at. We own our home, pay our taxes, and our oldest will be leaving for college in a couple of years. She wont need to live here until she's 20 mooching off of us.

My wife, who is also a musician, and 12 years younger than I, frowns on me bringing hookers home.

So you don't know shit, about shit, punk.

By the time I was your age, I had lived on my own 3 years, played in front of thousands of people, and was active in local politics.

You can't seem to get out of your bedroom at mom's house. At 20.




But you are fun to mock in here. No Child Left Behind

If you didn't have a daughter, you probably wouldn't have any freinds at all!

And you realize it is spelled "friends", right, GayR?

For someone who wishes to put me on ignore, you sure seem to respond to my every post.

And I actually have 2 daughters, and a son.

Which mean I know I have at least 4 more friends than you, LibraryBoy.

Shouldn't you be planning Jizzy's Memorial Service, mensa?
