In the latest twist to the Jihad against Bud Light—When you lost the Massholes

This is my review of Mykhola Doppelbock:

I don’t think it is controversial to argue to this crowd we are in a recession; arguing if this is something worse might be a more entertaining discussion.  One thing that tends to happen in such economic times are companies going out of business.  One worth mentioning:  Jenny Craig.

Anyone watching daytime television knows how their system works.  Order their absurdly priced frozen meals, they send it to you along with instructions of when to eat each item.  You then eat them and lose weight based on research their crack team of nutritionists developed to allow a sedentary American operate efficiently on 2000 calories (or less) a day.  Is this really an improvement on the standard American diet?

If you follow their instructions and eat nothing else…probably.

Unfortunately, there could be a number of factors involved in why they went out of business.  One being the expense.  This being a recession $25 for frozen pizza is probably going to get bumped for something more important, like a $3.99 frozen pizza.  The other being the existence of Ozempic. The once a week wonder drug injection meant for diabetes with weight loss being a convenient side effect.  For the latter to have more of an effect might indicate sheer laziness that one cannot even outsource their diet to somebody else and reheat it in a microwave to lose weight.  Nope, drugs prescribed for off-label use are much easier.

The other implication?  Americans gave up on this whole, “healthy lifestyle” thing.  Why worry?  We’re all going to get killed in the next people’s revolution this summer.

 

Ukraine on the label.  Opinion discarded. Mykhola Doppelbock: 0.0/5 6.5% ABV

Fine, that’s mean.  I’m inclined to think of Bock being quite a bit darker and as a result a bit more balanced.  Its on the sweeter end of the spectrum even if well made.  Is it worth your $2 for a 500mL bottle to satisfy your curiosity?  Sure, but a proper German make in a similar quantity will only set you back about $4.

    Ouch. That’s the first 0.0, isn’t it?

    The other implication? Americans gave up on this whole, “healthy lifestyle” thing. Why worry? We’re all going to get killed in the next people’s revolution this summer.

    Lol. I do think there is some truth there. Between the body pos bullshit and pharma recognizing that fatties are a terrific customer for life, I don’t anticipate a sea change.

    Too bad, really, because this is absolute truth: https://twitter.com/HerculeanStren1/status/1657402817496203264

      I was thinking the same thing about the 0 rating. I get the impression politics may have infused this review.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Unfortunately the first movie I saw her in was Grumpier Old Men. So she’s perpetually in her 70’s in my mind.

      • Tundra

        I still probably would have.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Its a solid 2-2.5

      • Chafed

        There’s the MS I know.

  2. juris imprudent

    Nope, drugs prescribed for off-label use are much easier.

    And there is the underlying fraud at the heart of the War on [some] Drugs. We wholeheartedly endorse better living through chemistry – just don’t enjoy the ride!

    Ukraine on the label. Opinion discarded. Mykhola Doppelbock: 0.0/5 6.5% ABV

    Uh…I don’t know if you’ve heard, but criticizing anything Ukraine is an attack on democracy itself, you MAGAt Putin-lover.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      I haven’t endorsed democracy in at least ten years.

    • juris imprudent

      Classy, maybe she was Trump’s type.

    Bees were docile this morning, maybe ’cause they’re Italian AND from Calif. Pick up and distribution went smoothly, now to get out of their way and let them go to work.

    No beer for lunch for them though. I’ll let them settle in for a couple days before I annoy them.

    • Tundra

      I’ve known some Italians from Cali. Docile isn’t a word I would have considered.

      Great news on the bees! It’s officially spring now

    Are there some digits missing from “$2”?

    • mexican sharpshooter

      No it was seriously around $2.

  6. The Late P Brooks

    I like Shiner Bock.

    • prolefeed

      ^ ^ ^ This guy gets it.

    From a lazy websearch on Ozempic:

    “What foods should be avoided [on the] Ozempic diet? 5 foods to avoid while taking Ozempic:
      • Fried, greasy foods. Many of the most common side effects of Ozempic are gastrointestinal—things like nausea, bloating, and gas;
      • Sugary foods and drinks;
      • Refined carbohydrates;
      • High-glycemic vegetables; and
      • Alcohol.”

    Criminy. If the average person avoids those foods, I seriously doubt they’d need the Ozempic to lose weight.

    • R.J.

      Haha, very true. So it would work like that drug that made you sick if you had alcohol?

    • juris imprudent

      Shhhhh

    • Michael Malaise

      My wife is on Wegovy, which is the same as Ozempic. She gained 30 lbs in 10 months on another drug she needs. She’s the healthiest eater I know, and yes the Wegovy does make her stomach mildly upset for about 24 hours after taking it.

    • Shpip

      • Alcohol

      Well, now I know why I haven’t lost any weight on Ozempic.

      That little voice in my head saying “Less whiskey, more walkee” is probably right. Fortunately, I’ve learned to ignore the voices in my head.

    Time is running out to have fun.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      That’s always true.

  9. Scruffyy Nerfherder

    Well, an hour and a half on the bike removed the bourbon from my system.

    I think that’s the last time I try to keep up with the bourbon aficionados. I’m pretty sure I get a little assholish on hard liquor.

  10. CPRM

    Last of the pork on the grill. Now just to sit back and wait for guests to arrive.

    • Tundra

      Cheers!

      I hope you have a great day!

    • Mojeaux

      Happy barfday!

    • DEG

      Happy Birthday!

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Pork. Most excellent.

    • R.J.

      Happy birthday!

    • Fourscore

      Wish I was there but you fellers/girl fellers have a good time now. hear? I know that Mr CPRM will treat you right.

    • Pat

      Happy Birthday. Do a write up for those of us who couldn’t attend.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Happy Birthday Mr Canstituional Party Rights Monarchist.

      • juris imprudent

        [definitely heard that in Cliff Clavan’s voice]

    • Sean

      Happy birthday 🎂🎈🎉

    • rhywun

      Feliz Geburtstag.

    • MikeS

      Prost, little buddy. I wish I could have made it.

  11. Mojeaux

    Daytripping with the husband, cruising down the road with Steely Dan.

    Unrelated: Where’s MikeS been?

    • Tundra

      Currently vacationing in Germany.

      • DEG

        And hopefully having a good time.

      • Tundra

        I got a pic the other day of his weiners. He seemed happy!

        Kraut and beers, too.

      • DEG

        I think there is a softball in there.

      • Fourscore

        Is Mike S a lieder?

      • MikeS

        Natürlich!

      • Brochettaward

        Germany. A very second location to visit.

    Rainy day with middling wind and a freezing 72 degrees here. Still we will race. Tonight is a B-day party for a friend.

    The gov only censors us because it loves us so very much.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      We all knew something like that was happening but it’s nice to see it laid out in such detail.

    Currently getting a pedicure at the neighborhood nail salon. Won’t be able to text once I get to the manicure. One of my new rituals. They have nice massage chairs and a big screen with peaceful scenery.

    It’s a beautiful day in Greater Seattle. Warm and sunny. Mountains look gorgeous.

    Think I’ll head down to the Mukilteo Landing when I’m all done here. Maybe take the ferry out to one of the islands.

    Nice to have nothing to do!

    • Animal

      Yeah, those “no place to go and all day to get there” Saturdays are the best.

  14. Tundra

    This is getting embarrassing.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      No shit it’s fed driven. Any group that’s this high profile is infiltrated to the hilt and set up repeatedly. There’s pretty much no information out there about these guys which should speak volumes.

      • Gustave Lytton

        So which one of y’all isn’t the glowie?

    • J. Frank Parnell

      LOL

      • Tundra

        Oh, bravo.

      • Fourscore

        Yesterday I saw a big Bud Light tractor trailer backed up to the local liquor store. I wanted to ask the driver if it was a delivery or pick up? I didn’t ’cause I can’t run very fast. Hard to tell.

      • Tundra

        Haha! Was it Redding’s?

    • Pat

      Was 5.11 Tactical having a big sale on matching pants, shirts and balaclavas, or did they have to meet a minimum order for the DoD discount?

    • The Other Kevin

      Omg uniforms? Really?

    • rhywun

      In unrelated news, the khaki aisle at K-Mart has been wiped out.

  15. MikeS

    On topic: I am in Aachen, Germany. Zelenzkyy is rumored to be coming here tomorrow to accept the Charlemagne Award.

    I didn’t come here to see him. I’m drinking beer.

    If he gets here early enough in the day to not fuck up my schedule, I’ll post a selfie with him. 🍻

    • rhywun

      What pray tell is the “Charlemagne Award”? Ugh never mind, I don’t care.

    • Mojeaux

      Gonna get his autograph too? Apparently, he’s dreamy. 🙄

  16. Mojeaux

    Mother’s Day duty done for both moms. The flowers they received are lovely. They are not, however, in any way representative of what I ordered.

    As for my mother’s day, I just wanted a cherry pie (shut up) with ice cream, and so shall it be requested, so shall it be done. Cherry pie a la mode for bfast!

  17. Homple

    Sharpshooter,
    Have you tried Baltika 7? If so, how would you rate it?
