Hehe aeglos. Do something wrong? Not at all. I love you dude, that is so sweet. I was just starting a fresh page by reflecting on Garky warky.
<man hug>
Wait. You are a man right?
BTW, I love Root Beer. I never saw the post where you reported your taste test. Tell me it was awesome and you don't understand why it isn't famous all over the world!
Alas I can no longer drink it due some disturbing allergies... but I remember it well.

thanks man
and yes, I am malethr root beer is still waiting patiently in the fridge
Delayed gratification. A noble cause.
welcome to Aeglos tries...
today: A&W root Beer
the smell:
hm, a mix from dentist and bubble gum
definitely not what i expected
taste:
dentist. there must be clove-oil in there a little bit of vanilla
poured into glass:
looks like dr.pepper, no foam, I did expect foam because of the name
Conclusion:
the taste brings dentist memories and that can't be good :-)
and the clove seems to linger
not my cup of tea
Who's talking about me behind my back?!?!
<grin>
A real root beer should, I think, have a sasparilla quality to the flavor. I was going to look this up on Wiki, but it's not talking to me.
Sasparilla is a tree that grows in these hyar parts which has a very aromatic bark. It's almost a citrusy smell, but has some spicy elements as well. It makes a walk through the woods a fragrant experience.
We took Jude to the zoo this weekend!! He had a lot of fun and really liked one animal in particular. And I will tell you what that was after the e-mail gets to Paizo Customer Service.
<grin>

I have been intrigued what Sasparilla is/tastes like since The Big Lebowski :-)
Mistress Solnes is back! YAY!
Dentists have ruined root beer. Tragic.
Is it sad that the more I hear about the current trends in comics and the adjustments or changes of characters, the less I want to read them??I've been collecting for a little over 25 years, and even I'm finding myself less wanting to read them. It's like they don't know how to tell a coherent story anymore. And everything has to be some multi-part epic! God forbid they actually write a two-parter, or *gasp* a...a...single-issue, stand-alone story. And I'm sorry Mr. Morrison, but that annoying little f%#+ of a son for Batman character you created needs to be fed to the nearest memory hole! He's even worse than Jason Todd, and we killed that f@@$er years ago! And for f!@&'s sake! Wally West was the f~$$ing Flash for 20 f@+*ing years! How about showing some respect instead of I want to relive my f!+$ing childhood so I'm bringing back Barry Allen. And hey! I've got a great idea! Let's take one of the longest running comic series ever, featuring one of the longest, continuously published characters in history, and restart it at #1, along with a bunch of other titles as well. Yeah! That makes perfect f*+*ing sense.....
pant...pant....pant...
Why are you apologzing? Morrison lost me when he made the X-Men go all emo and strange. I don't know why people insist on elevating a moderately talented head to such a high level of esteem.

Grant Morrison is overrated.

He does not yet warrant a flavor of Haterade(tm). That said, I do not wish to poison my loyal customers with bong water flavored Haterade(tm).
I'm not saying the guy can't ever write a good story. But his run on the X-Men pales in comparison to say, Joss Whedon's.

Grant Morrison (good)--Invisibles overall (although, I will admit it got a little precious at times), Animal Man, Sea Guy, The Filth, Marvel Boy.
Grant Morrison (great)--We3 (his best work, IMO, stunningly lacking in cynicism in its protagonists), individual issues of Invisibles, All-Star Superman (he actually "got" Superman, IMO).
Grant Morrison (meh)--Seven Soldiers. Some neat ideas, some clunkers. Overall meh.
Grant Morrison (bad)--Any "flagship" mainstream superhero title.
Grant Morrison (terrible)--Linchpin miniseries for an entire comics line.

Re: Joss Whedon on X-Men. Thanks, Joss, we saw it already when Claremont did it in the 70s. Bleh.

Yeah, Japanese don't like it either because it "tastes like medicine".
Sad. Though, a medicine that tastes like root beer couldn't be all bad, right?

Root beer does not taste like medicine here. I wish it did I would be able to get my kids to take medicine easier.

Morrison has done enough good stuff (by my reckoning) that I'll check out his non-superhero work. I will usually avoid anything he writes for Marvel or DC, unless it's off to the side (see All-Star Superman).

Actually I do get a fair amount of skinned shins for my Morrison dislike. To set the record straight, I don't hate the man, nor do I think he should never write ever- as I said above, he is moderately talented. I DO think he messed up horribly on the X-Men and should in general stay away from things that have a set continuity. I also think his writing would improve significantly if he stayed away from mind-altering substances. Not to say that EVERYONE involved in any creative process should, just that he is not one of those people who can go on a trip and come back with something amazing every time...or even most of the time.

Not a fan of Morrison, I think Joss should stay far and away from the X-men.

I was once much more tolerant of Morrison's work. His graphic novel Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth was really enjoyable. His multi-part story Gothic, for Legends of the Dark Knight, is IMHO one of the better Batman stories of all time. And his run on JLA in the 90s was pretty interesting - some really good stuff in there.
That being said, the man has since lost all my respect: first with the introduction of that little rat bastard Damien Wayne, bringing back Jason Todd, the Batman R.I.P. story, and finally with that travesty of comicbook writing known as Final Crisis.
So, in my mind, he does indeed deserve the Haterade(tm).

I do most of my posting on mind-altering substances.

So, I recently decided to buy a bottle of Crystal Head vodka. Mainly because the bottle is BAD ASS. Now, I have a question...
Why the hell would anyone drink something that smells and, one assumes, tastes exactly like rubbing alcohol?

Cuz I was young and stupid and the idea of asking the bartender for a shot of the strongest thing they had seemed cool. Amber 190 is not good.

Day done. Gym skipped as they are cleaning my chimney today. 90+ here, must be Hell inland. Despite the heat, I got to get some yardwork done. We'll see..

It's not so bad when you use it for mixing.
Of course, that defeats the purpose of buying "premium" vodka in the first place, but hey, it's your coin, right?
The bottle is one of the coolest liquor containers ever, though!

haha! You finally found it? Cool!
Too bad it evidently tastes horrible.
Glad to see you're enjoying your sanity day off. :)
I will note, however... Vodka and Mt Dew is quite tasty.
One of my favorites, although I bet grape soda and vodka would taste familiar.
