[ale] Way-the-hell-and-gone off topic

[Jim Kinney]

In the "starving student era" of my life, Schafers. Had to drink it
from the freezer. If it got close to fridge temp it was undrinkable.
Years went by and I started brewing ales at home. Gained a few pounds
rather quickly :-) . A friend called me to come try the new "Bud Ice"
he had picked up. I brought a few home brews.
I poured a home ale for him and he poured a Bud ice for me. My gag
reflex kicked in about as fast as I suspect it would trying to drink a
mix of gasoline, bleach, and formaldehyde. I could not swallow Bud Ice
and spit it back into the glass. My friend was "ooh-ing and aah-ing"
with my home brew and pretty much downed a pair of  pints (a pale ale
and a porter knowing my recipes of the time). Then he popped a Bud Ice
and tried to take a drink. It was instantaneous and violent as he
reflexively spit the foul stuff across the room.
We loaded in my car and I took him to the home brew store.
Problem Solved (TM).   :-)

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
