I just popped into to express my disdain at the Sierra Nevada hate.
Last night I had a couple Sam Adams Winter Lagers and a couple Pyramid Hefeweizen.

Oh oh oh and once, I went to the casino on a whim even though I shouldn't have, won 200 playing Omaha Hi-Lo, took 50 of that to the craps table and turned it into around 300 more.
you're occasionally a woman?
how does that work?
Add "bagging" before "the occasional woman."

Usually I'm more of an ale or random-weizen person, but I really really enjoy Sam Adams' Winter Lager. De-friggin-licious.

Such a great movie. What makes it even better is most of it is based in truth.

and the J&T (best basque bar around = packed & wild Xmas eve, New years and carson valley days).
http://www.roadtripamerica.com/eats/jt.htmI had a meal at a Basque restaurant in Reno a number of years ago. I remember it being quite good, though I don't really remember any details about the meal. I don't think it was the one that you mentioned, though. We walked a number of blocks from downtown Reno. This was about 1996 or so.
Probably Louie's, a couple of blocks east of the main drag. Did you try a Picon, by any chance?

Louie's is the one jammed between the casinos, tucked away, right? It is pretty good, and Picon is one hell of an interesting cocktail.
I usually drink at home or at friend's places, but if I'm in a bar mood, Fritz's is okay, Shea's is better..love a good Irish bar with corned beef and cabbage.
Edit - It was bugging me because I knew Louie's wasn't right, and after some surprisingly difficult googling, the place I was thinking of is jammed behind Harrah's and is just called "Santa Fe Hotel Basque Family Style Dining" or something like that, and it's way better than Louie's.
Never been to the Santa Fe. I see you're at U of N?
Yep, just getting ready to start the hardest semester yet.
You should really try that place though, way better than Louie's.

Les is kind of old and is all 'conservation'-ish, even when he's stuck in the middle of nowhere for a week. All survival manuals will tell you that in a survival situation it is best to be conservative. You should conserve food, energy, supplies, etc.
No, no, I know that.
I mean, he's stuck out there and doesn't even want to eat anything or hurt trees because he's an environmentalist.

Hockey is best live, even though I've really only attended minor league games in regularity when I was younger. Best on tv as well, centre ice ftw.
Football is second, never been to an NFL game, just college games and played in high school.
I HATE baseball on TV, but it's fun to go to a game.
lol @ darts....I watched it occasionally. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTYYYY!

The science. I'm planning on attending graduate school for microbiology, so it was fairly relevant to my interests.
And I loved Prey as well. In fact, I love most of his work.

Pretty good, but look at the 'cast' section and Jeff Bridges! WEIRD

Really like that second one! "Cask of 43" might be a good name, too!Go Pack!
As for a bar, I'd be partial to Panacea.
