    Problems with Beer Foam in the Golden Era?

    Just an educated guess - I'm sure it was to get to the beer instead of wasting time on the foam. However, hopefully it has nothing to do with this: The Straight Dope: Does Budweiser Beer Contain Chicken Hearts?

    Your signature cocktail.

    Wild Turkey 101, tumbler, 3 cubes ice. Drink slowly, swish in mouth, let it burn, swallow. Hey, if you can call a straight gin martini a "cocktail", I can call my whiskey in a glass a cocktail! ;) But otherwise, I'll occasionally down a few Black Velvet and cokes when I want to start...

    Barbeque

    Just smoked a 4lb loin yesterday. Prep: Injected with beer, butter and spices. Slathered in dijon mustard and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, rubbed with brown sugar, sugar, cayenne, garlic powder, cumin. Let stand in fridge overnight. Smoked: Used hickory wood at about 230F, draped in St. Louis...

    Beginning drinking

    Well, I had better throw my hat into the ring... Whiskey: Wild Turkey 101 (NOT 80) is an excellent bourbon for the money. It gives you a taste of what high shelf bourbon is like, without spending a fortune on Booker's or Woodford Reserve. I know alot of people talk badly about the Turk, but I...

    Worlds Oldest Champagne: 1772-1785

    Yes, typically most wines (read 85% or so) are not consumable after roughly 10 years, and most even fewer years than that. Some red varieties can sit for 30 years and still be pleasant. The Penfold's Grange is one such wine. It's a common misconception that any old red wine can last over 10...

    Vintage Polo Shirts

    I guess it depends on what you're going for. Is this a day on the golf course? Or a typical Tuesday at the office? Or just a wear-around? Maybe you're trying to impress a new lady? I agree with Corky in that you should get some cheapies, wear them out and toss them if you must. But if...

    Stein Mart?

    Well, I don't know about other states, but I got word straight from the horse's mouth that Steinmarts across the country are closing. There will be a few leftover, but B-List places like Iowa - GONE! I dropped by this weekend and picked up two pairs of Ralph Lauren 100%wools slacks (one...

    Get Low

    I haven't had a chance to see the previews yet, but do you all believe this will be another one of Murray's mid-life-crisis roles? Not that I'm complaining...

    True Grit!

    I more or less enjoy everything from the Coens, and I'm looking forward to this film! :eusa_clap

    Any writers?

    Yeah, similar situation. A few people know I write, so they come to me with their newsletter ideas, or meeting agendas and I feel like crying. I feel like that bird from the Flinstones, "It's a living."

    Any writers?

    God, that's good to hear! I mean really, I'd slap you on the back and buy you a drink if I could. I can't tell you how many times I've either been ridiculed or, at the very least, winked at by someone who says, "You're a smart young man, why are you so lazy that you can't get a better job?"...

    Any writers?

    As silly as this seems, you could ABSOLUTELY turn this in to a graphic novel series, followed by an animated series and finally topped off by a trilogy of films. Hey, if Hellboy can do it, why in the world couldn't Band of Suckers? lol Or Code Red: Project Nightwing?

    Any writers?

    Senator Jack and AmateisGal, thank you very much for those links!! :eusa_clap :D I've been searching and searching, these will help greatly!! I've been using Preditors and Editors. I started at the Z's and I've only made it to the E's. So far, I've found a few promising sounding leads, but I...

    local newspapers...

    Started in 1915 as a merged paper (with half a dozen predecessors dated back to 1843) the Des Moines Register and the similarly merged Des Moines Tribune were once valid sources of news and information. At one time, both were nationally popular publications selling about 500k issues during the...

    The Ernest Hemingway Thread

    I have to admit I've never been a fan of Hemingway, although I have always held high regard for his material. He was a master story teller, but I believe his life was far more interesting than his fiction. One thing about his work I do appreciate is that everything I've read seems to have an...

    Any writers?

    Sorry you're having so much difficulty! I've also been browsing agents for a novel I have on the back burner (waiting for copyright cert to show up). Here are a few agents/agencies I've seen that may be of value to your search (and I apologize ahead of time if this seems rude on my behalf - I...

    WHAT CAN THE FEDORA LOUNGE DO FOR YOU?

    I've become a much more educated consumer in the way of style; particularly in the way of hats and suits. I've taken a keener interest in perfecting finer details; including dress, etiquette and intellectual conversation. I've become much more resolute in settling for nothing less than...
