My first thought was any malt liquor. Disgusting. Imagine thinking you need a 40oz bottle of that shit. Any of the cheap American macrobrews would qualify, like Miller, Budweiser, Coors, Busch, and any light beer...they all use cheap grains, including corn or rice (Bud) -- grains which should never be used to brew beer. Michelob, which is marketed as a highbrow beer, is really gross. The one macrobrew that I can stomach while held at gunpoint is Pabst Blue Ribbon.

"It seems that the initial reports that one of our submarines was missing were not completely accurate." "DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!" Yeah, he was a good one. RIP.

Oh?

One need not be "TRFer of the century" to positively contribute and interact in SOCN. Being at least somewhat open-minded and somewhat thick-skinned and having some ideas of your own is all you need. BP's been in there for only a week and he's doing just fine.

I need to see these guys at some point. Hopefully they do more US shows, going to make it to a show if they swing by my area.

A link would be nice! https://the-aristocrats-band.com/

On behalf of the administrators of The Rush Forum, I hereby present the 393rd Solar Federalist badge to Rush Didact... Rush Didact, you have assumed control.... ...of The Rush Forum's Solar Federalist badge no. 393...Congratulations! Also, your badge has been added to the Hallowed Hall, and below is a mini-badge that you can add to your sig, if you wish. Congrats!

Right, Cale's version is raw and grimy, while Clapton's is too polished for my taste.

Don't get me wrong, this lineup will be fun, especially with Satriani and Bohnam, but it's amazing how, even after Eddie's death, the Sammy/Michael camp can't get it together with the Alex/Wolfgang camp and do a proper tribute tour.

Hoppy birthday, Rick!

Great photos, thanks for posting them!

This is the full interview that we saw teased with the 8 questions thread.

Photosonic is as much of an asshole as Chatsonic. Apparently, it has never seen a picture of Rush.

Your favorite Rush song? The Garden. That surprised me at first -- I expected something like Natural Science -- but it makes sense the more I think about it.

Here's to all the veterans, thank you for your service.

A Rush bar in YYZ? Took 'em long enough. I'd have a pint there. I'm sure there are more Rush things hanging on the walls that we're not seeing.

Coffee is like beer. Some people just want a cup o' joe or a cold beer and aren't too picky about it. And there's nothing wrong with that. But some people want to up their game. Grinding the coffee beans yourself is the thing. Coffee goes stale very soon after grinding, like a minute later, so when you buy pre-ground coffee -- even if they vacuum seal it immediately after grinding -- you're buying stale coffee. Keurig pods are the worst, they all taste like burnt garbage.

https://www.tastingtable.com/1151303/trader-joes-coffee-varieties-ranked-worst-to-best/ When I first started getting into grinding beans and using a french press, Trader Joe's Bolivian blend was my go-to. It's been several years since I've bought a can, but it's interesting to see it ranked so low on that list. I used to really enjoy it, but now maybe I'd hate it. The more you upgrade to the higher end of food and drink, the more your taste evolves.

Joey Votto is a baseball treasure -- a total goofball, but with a fiery temper. And a good ballplayer. I always thought of him as the NL version of Adrian Beltre.

Hmmm...welcome back, I guess? That quote at the top is probably the worst of these, and I didn't even include them all. You're obviously looking for a reaction, now you have one. Mission accomplished?

The Rangers played stellar defense the whole postseason, and Seager and Semien up the middle were a big part of that. How many huge DPs did they turn? I just counted, and the Rangers made only 5 errors in the entire postseason, and none in the WS (Tampa, in the wild card round, made 4 errors in one game). Everyone talks about their explosive offense and how their pitching came up big, but their solid defense was just as important.

John Smoltz, for some damn reason, has had trouble praising the Rangers this entire postseason. After Semien's home run he did manage to sum up this team's run with one phrase: "They are relentless." Indeed. You have to play perfect baseball against the Rangers. If you make one mistake against them, you're done. You make an error or a bad pitch and it feels like you just gave up a 5-run homer. That's how fast it happens, and they've done that all year, especially in the playoffs. It was fun to watch.

I don't think we'll be seeing Garcia for the rest of the playoffs due to his oblique injury from game 3. He's been taken off the roster. The good news is his replacement, Jankowski, had a good game last night, and Semien is also starting to hit again, and that makes Garcia's absence easier to deal with.
