My Favorite: Peanut Butter and Crack, eh?

by | Jan 21, 2023 | Beer, Drugs, Economy, Food & Drink, OHHHH Caaaaanada, Standard Libertarian Disclaimer | 149 comments

It occurred to me I had admin access and was allowed to add a new category.  So why not add this one?  I can’t help but assume it will be of use for the foreseeable future.

This is my review of Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR):

Meanwhile in Canada:  In order to reduce the likelihood of negative health outcomes, the Canadian Center Centre for Substance Abuse and Addiction suggest reducing alcohol consumption to two drinks per week.  Preferably zero.  This is surprising news to Americans who are conditioned to believe the misconception of Canadian beer effectively being repackaged moonshine.

The data suggested more than six drinks a week (84 grams of alcohol) puts an individual at high risk of developing significant health issues. Three to six drinks a week poses a moderate health risk.

The typical alcoholic beverage (a beer, an average glass of wine, a cocktail) contains approximately 14 grams of alcohol. One drink per day would work out to 98 grams of consumption per week.

Risks associated with moderate consumption include different types of cancers, including breast and colon cancer. The guidance suggests the upper limits of more the six drinks a week carry an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

I have a funny feeling a fair number of you exceeded six drinks before noon today.

Meanwhile…in Canada: Heroin and crack were decriminalized, and there is now a shop opening in British Columbia to sell both.

The shop will be called The Drug Store and customers will b—

Stop.  Stop. Stop.

The Drug Store?  Canadian Glibs if you’re out there, help me out.  I’m not asking to come up with a euphemism to call this establishment, but there has to be a more marketable name than The Drug Store.

SLD:  I am happy somebody finally made legal crack accessible for sale to the general public, and I will not judge Hunter Biden for applying for Canadian citizenship once he learns of this.

 

Relax, I was making bratwurst so I didn’t drink the entire can.  I require three 12oz cans of beer to simmer the brats, so technically I drank half of one of these Yusef sized, 24oz cans.  One of you check my math.

It always troubled me they keep promoting this blue ribbon they won in 1895.  Its like the old guy at the country club that won the club golf tournament in 1973 and won’t let anybody forget it. This is flat, skunky and pretty much awful if it achieves a temperature exceeding 55 degrees or 12.7 degrees for our Canadian friends. Still, it has its place.  Pabst Blue Ribbon:  1.9/5  4.7% abv.

    I was told there would be no math.

      You left a first joke wide open though.

        There is no joking with regards to Firsting.

    There is no misconception. I have drunk the Molson Black Death, and barely lived to tell the tale.

    • Tundra

      I prefer Labatt’s

      • MikeS

        Labatt’s is OK. Kokanee is better.

      • rhywun

        Labatt’s is one of the best cheap beers. Practically grew up on it.

      • Chafed

        Practically or actually?

      • rhywun

        Indubitably.

      • Chafed

        I think I accidentally went full Ted’S on you. I meant to infer you were a drunk, not misusing words.

      • Ted S.

        If you went full Ted S., you would have linked to some good music.

      • Ted S.

        I would have guessed you grew up on Genny Cream Ale or something horrid like that.

      • rhywun

        Nah, just meant college.

        My stepfather drank Genny by the case. I… didn’t frequently partake.

    • Nephilium

      Meh

      Triple X ain’t shit.

      • Chafed

        Good Lord. Does it come with a ride home?

      • Nephilium

        They come in 40 ml (1.35 ounce) bottles. So roughly the same alcohol as a full pint at 5% ABV.

      • Chafed

        And people buy it? For that kind of money I can buy a shot of fantastic liquor.

      • R C Dean

        For the novelty. Plus, they’re probably already drunk.

      • Nephilium

        I ordered two bottles (one for me, one to share). It’s a novelty (as R C Dean says), plus after having it, I can truly claim to have tried the strongest beer in the world. It was easier to get my hands on it then Sam Adams Utopias for sure. Hell, one place several years back had an auction for an EMPTY bottle of Utopias.

      • PieInTheSky

        that does not look shiny and chrome

      • Penguin

        Sean & GT. I should have saved a pic of of my shredded tire I got a couple months ago. I’m very lucky a good friend is a mechanic.

      • Gender Traitor

        From a pothole? I bitched about it on Nextdoor, and some have suggested I file a claim with my township. This is me not holding my breath waiting for reimbursement for the replacement wheel I’m waiting for. 😐

      • Nephilium

        I got a flat hitting a pothole once, I looked up the rules for reimbursement in Cuyahoga county:

        If your claim involves automobile damages, you will need to submit the following documentation below:
        1. A copy of your automobile title, registration or lease contract is mandatory; no auto claim will be processed without including this information.
        2. Insurance coverage information, including a copy of the declarations page, is mandatory for both full and liability coverage.
        3. Include two (2) estimates of costs of repair or an itemized repair bill. Two estimates are requested for claims involving a motor vehicle accident.
        4. If you are claiming tire damage, the age of the tire and tire tread measurement are mandatory. Tire tread measurements can be obtained from most service stations.
        5. Police report or incident report, if applicable, is very helpful.
        6. Photographs of the damages to your vehicle or tire(s) and of the alleged defect that caused your damages are very helpful.
        7. Any witness statements are optional.

        Yeah. Like I’m going through that much fucking work for a replacement tire.

      • Gender Traitor

        Discount Tire (where I’d bought this set – and luckily close to my office) said the tire itself was fine – it was just the wheel damaged enough that it wouldn’t seal to the tire well. They rotated it from right front to right rear so I could limp home more safely. With any luck, that very careful trip strictly on surface streets didn’t damage the tire, and if I can get it across town one more time to the wheel place when they get the replacement wheel in (Monday, they say,) I’m hoping the tire will still be OK. (Got DT’s warranty with the tires, and they’ve already replaced one that picked up a screw [NOT THAT KIND!!!])

      • Penguin

        Oh – and yes, I knew I had to drive home very carefully, which I did. I didn’t even ruin the wheel. It’s still on my truck.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I was assuming the fastener type, but if it’s not that kind, ok….

      • Penguin

        I’m sorry, GT, I should have read you post through. I wasn’t trying to pour salt on wounds.

      • Gender Traitor

        No worries, Peng. If the wheel place my Subaru dealer referred me to wasn’t jiving with the quote they texted me, I’m only going to be out a couple hundred plus tax. And it gave me an excuse to take a few days of vacation from my across-town job right AFTER I finished with the most urgent of my year-end gotta-do’s.

      • Penguin

        No, it was (unfortunately) my own carelessness. Rubbed up again a median marker.

    • PieInTheSky

      why are you driving a Nazi car?

      • Sean

        It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. And I’ve had a bunch.

      • PieInTheSky

        but did you have a Dacia Sandero

      • Sean

        Are you James May?

        I’m more of a mid market kind of guy.

        “Good news!”

  8. PieInTheSky

    So who we got winning in lesser rugby?

    • Nephilium

      You mean proper football?

      I think the Chiefs and Iggles win today. The Bengals beat the Bills, and I think the Cowboys/49ers game is a toss up, but I lean a bit towards the Cowboys winning. The last two picks are based primarily on the play last week.

      • Penguin

        Neph – DYK – Are any of those games simulcast on the Internet?

      • Nephilium

        I don’t believe so. I think you would need either an NFL+ subscription, cable, or some other streaming service. From memory, Fubo.tv shows them, and has a one week free trial.

        With searching there are usually some pirate feeds going, and they’re broadcast over the air if you have an antennae.

      • Penguin

        Thx. I can get them in my area, when I can find a TV that works in my house.

      • Ted S.

        I think you should be able to live-stream the audio on Westwood One.

      • Penguin

        Thx, Ted, but if it’s over the air, (seems like radio or TV), it sounds like I’m not getting it.

      • dbleagle

        Try the NFL’s website. They frequently livestream as well.

      • R C Dean

        Gino she’s whatever your local broadcast stations are showing, but you should goos this weekend.

      • rhywun

        Buffalo better wake the hell up this week.

      • Nephilium

        I’m concerned about the Bengals offensive line, with them suffering yet another injury last week. But Burrow has gone through most of his career with the Bengals having minimal protection.

      • Chafed

        You’re right. When they are on, they are on fire. When they’re not… 🤷‍♂️

      • R C Dean

        The odds the ‘Boys can play that well to weeks in a row are . . . Not good.

      • Brochettaward

        What Purdy has done has been impressive, but the guy is a rookie. Early in the Seahawks game, he looked a bit like a rookie. Threw a pass or two that were iffy/kind of lucky.

        Even Tom Brady probably doesn’t make a Super Bowl in his second season if he doesn’t get knocked out of the AFCCG against the Steelers.

      • Lackadaisical

        Chiefs will smoke the jaguars.

    • PieInTheSky

      if the team with the QB that got picket last in the draft wins, that could be a pub quiz question in the future, should there still be pubs and quizzes in 30 years

      That is some terrible reporting. Heaven forbid a reporter asks any clarifying questions.

      This is exhibit eleventy for seriously reforming qualified immunity.

      • WTF

        Since qualified immunity was created out of thin air by judges in the first place. Too bad he wasn’t black, it might actually make the news.

      • Chafed

        This is true. Thank goodness for cheap, available video recording. No way this guy could prove what really happened without it.

      • dbleagle

        Abolish it. There is no reforming QI. The police should have the exact same guidelines as any other citizen for employing deadly force. If I can shoot an unarmed man complying with my instructions and walk away w/o a charge- they can as well. They don’t like the new rules then they can quit and and find new employment.

      • dbleagle

        Interesting admission by the shooters starting at 5:19 “Fuck. We are fucked. Find a firearm….”

      • R.J.

        Damn them all.

      • Chafed

        I agree in its current form it needs to be abolished. If government workers, of all kinds, don’t have some ascertainable form of immunity for their official actions, government won’t function. I believe in limited government, not anarchy.

        That QI is court created, rather than an enacted law is obscene. The way it currently functions is obscene. The incredible deference shown to cops is obscene.

        I don’t think we will have a functioning government without some sort of QI. You can call it whatever you like. It needs to be radically scaled back. But complete abolition. IMO, will lead to utter disfunction.

      • rhywun

        If I am not mistaken, NY has recently limited it.

        The only result I can see is cops retiring en masse.

      • Lackadaisical

        That’s correct, honestly they made some surprising progress on actual police reform on NY, along with all sorts of stupidity.

      • dbleagle

        I don’t trust the government to reform QI, just as I don’t trust them to reform civil forfeiture, or the FBI. Cop unions and cop worship are both waaaay too strong. Complete abolishment of QI, can be followed by the incremental addition of severely limited QI for some aspects. (Civil forfeiture should never return.) But shootings are simple. Cops are citizens like you and I, nothing more, they can follow the same self defense rules as we have.

        Cops should have to purchase their own liability insurance. If they fuck up they should be liable and not the citizens of their jurisdiction.

      • R C Dean

        What, did they have an “officer involved shooting” *spit* quota they had to meet?

    • Gustave Lytton

      Geezus. That is awful and everyone of them will face zero consequences for their actions.

      Racist pseudo governments should have no police powers, more so off of their privately owned land or over US citizens. State governments should not be extending law enforcement powers or recognition to the armed security of those racist pseudo governments.

    Keeping Mahomes off the field in a playoff game in a season where you have a very good chance of winning it all? That’s really dumb. If the ankle aint broke, he needs to be out there, Fat Andy. Pain management is his domain. This isn’t going to put his career at risk.

    • Mojeaux

      I’m surprised. I thought they’d keep Henne for another possession.
