FinChaser's Growler

The growler, perhaps the greatest name in beer terminology, is a jug used to hold 64 ounces of the wonderful nectar known as beer.  We regularly maintain up to eight beer varieties on tap on a rotation basis with a new beer or two every hour.

The Growler Station serves as a showcase for new arrivals, seasonal releases and customer favorites. Of course, should you be considering a brew purchase outside that of your standards, this is also where you can sample some truly fantastic beers some international, mostly Northwest, but some from reputable home operations- regional club types.  I can't take the time to master the art, but patrons and staff pay their dues and enjoy being the connoisseur.

Silverdreamer.be

".be" is Belgium, everyone knows that. Well, someone kinda spammed
my blog with a "hey I like your site- check mine out" and I know
right away that he didnt like my site since it is really not for
anyone to like but me and is pretty much irrelevant and useless
unless you are me.

But I absolutely loved Brugge, Belgium so I went to his site and what
do you know... he has some great pictures of Brugge. plus REM plays
right off the bat which Bmag will dig.

If you scroll down on the first page after the intro it says
something like "Een wandeling en Brugge" and you will find the
pictures that really highlight this unsung gem of Europe. Notice how
there are like no people or cars in this amazing city of the coolest
buildings you have ever seen.

Yeah maybe that is why I like the place -completely beautiful and
unknown. The kind of town that will get destroyed when this life is
all over and we can only hope that God recognizes the value and
rebuilds it just for the few of us that know.

I had a bucket of steamers in this main square in the picture above. I think it
might have been that joint pictured below that I found on the
interwebnet.action.

The funny thing is that this guy at silverdreamer.be doesn't seem like the spammer type. he has a ton of links to webcasted operating room procedures like "Prostatectomie radicale par laparoscopie extrapéritonéale" and yes if you get into the right places you can watch some of that happening on a rel live human.

Firearms Refresher Course

FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE

'Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.'

~ Thomas Jefferson

(This is why Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton want gun
control so badly!)


FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE

1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.

2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

3. Colt: The original point and click interface.

4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?

6. If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.

7. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

8. If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.

9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

10. The United States Constitution (c)1791. All Rights Reserved.

11. What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you not understand?

12. The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore
the others.

13. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.

14. Guns only have two enemies; rust and politicians.

15. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.

16. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

17. 911: Government sponsored Dial-a-Prayer.

18. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

19. Criminals love gun control; it makes their jobs safer.

20. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

21. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control
them.

22. You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.

23. Enforce the gun control laws we ALREADY have; don't make more.

24. When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.

25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.

Half Mooned Productions

It is truly inspiring to have friends who are able to express how
much they just dont give a crap about what other people ultimately
think. Sometimes the only art they produce is found almost entirely
within themselves somewhat akin to Andy Kauffman.

PS- he and Dustin are working every wednesday in Dustin's garage
building a segway... which ends up being some guitar playing and then
some beers down at the Wild Hare in Canby.
