Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Punishingly Intricate

if you're ever in DC try the Brickskeller - it has a beer list that's something like eight pages long in tiny type. Food's negligible, but excellent selection of beers.

Well, if you're in the area you should really try the Brewer's Art in Baltimore which has both amazing beer AND great food.

You guys should come do a tour of the Mid Atlantic!

There's a Beer Alert? Is this another thing we have to thank Homeland Security for?

"Terrorists, Sam. They've taken over my stomach and they're demanding beer."

Love the beer alert! I laughed at the cartoon of the cask beer sighting, very true.

I want a beer and good food. Sadly, I am cranky at work and not drinking beer during the week so I am totally denied. Therefore, more cranky.

Love how much of our built and planted structure is gone within one hundred years, almost all of it within a 1000, but our garbage hangs around for 50,000 years.

"Terrorists, Sam. They've taken over my stomach and they're demanding beer."

Huh. Turns out I am on the side of the terrorists after all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

From a 2003 police report filed by officer Aaron Bergh in Menomonie, Wisconsin, concerning a legal search of Anthony Scholfield's apartment. Scholfield was a twenty-two-year-old college student at the time of his arrest.

Does the beer alert have various color-coded levels? That could be fun - "it's a dark porter night - gotta keep warm!"

I am saddened to discover that "corporate executions" don't mean the same thing in real estate as they do at Wolfram & Hart.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am saddened to discover that "corporate executions" don't mean the same thing in real estate as they do at Wolfram & Hart.

Heh.

If they did mean the same thing, would this be something handled by Human Resources?
