Short trip to Oshkosh

ok, maybe I'm exagerating a little, but when I go out to a nice Blues club
for 3 or 4 hours and listen to music...

I'll admit, when you're not stopping to bother to taste the beer, I suppose
Bud or Corona (light or otherwise) is just as good as anything else. I
guess that's why those guys are still making lots of money.

You're not getting it. Some people actually prefer "regular" or light
beer, and think dark beer tastes like crap. Beer snobs never seem to
accept that different people have different (not bad) tastes.

Maybe not. But it's hard to "get it" when you make absurd statements. 20
or 30 calories difference might make a difference if you are actually
drinking ten beers. But it's hardly worth worrying about if you're drinking
five.

Differences in taste, that's perfectly understandable. But why bring the
calorie issue into the picture, if it's not relevant at all?

Actually, I feel the same way about people who claim to like "really" dark
beers, like Guinness or Oatmeal Stout. I think most dark beers taste like
sewage. I prefer a nice, crisp amber beer, with a good malty/yeasty
after-taste.

I also think folks who claim to like really dark red wines are nuts. I was
at a wine-tasting event last night (with Montblack, by the way -- he's
staying at the inn for a couple of days...), and people all around us were
raving about stuff that tasted like power steering fluid. I just don't get
it...

Let's leave it at this: On a really, really hot day (like after walking 10
miles at OSH) an ice-cold Bud tastes great!

But then, of course, so does ice water.

You actually know what power steering fluid tastes like? I'd suggest that
if that's the case, you have bigger problems than whether to drink a fruity
red or an oaky red.

Yup. On a really, really hot day after walking 10 miles at OSH, I'd
probably drink just about anything as long as it was served up at 34 degrees
F.

Can't comment on power steering fluid, but us Navion pilots know what
hydraulic fluid tastes like. We swim in the stuff.

When I read this, I had to break into a big smile. Wouldn't you know it?
I'm a big Chianti fanatic! I think it's in my blood (100% italian). :-)

Hmmm. I'm German, and like German beer. You're Italian, and like red wine.

I think we've discovered the obvious here?

(Maybe we should apply for a gubmint grant? They seem to get millions for
these kinds of "studies" all the time! :-)
