Well, well, well fucking well. How about this shit?

Shit just opened next to Frankford Hall

http://www.phillyphoodie.com/2012/10/fette-sau.html

With this right around the coner as of recently

Not going to make it there over the next couple weeks, but hoping to spend a day drinking massive beers at Frankford Hall and eating massive amounts of BBQ at these spots. Hoping for 2 weeks from now.

That area is blowing up. So much shit right there now.

Ah, this is fucking great. We hit a BBQ joint before the MMJ show in Brooklyn. Pretty sure it was Fette Sau. Tremendous. I love Q

Just talked to a good friend of mine who heard thru the grapevine that utley doesn't have knee issues. He was told from someone in the know that he's addicted to painkillers.

My initial reaction was 'shit that sucks'. Guess it kinda speaks volumes that I don't doubt this could be true

Not sure which is worse...pill addict or bum knees

The Fixer

God I'm bored. hopefully this dumb storm blows through without much damage and I can get back to work on Wednesday.

Gonna really suck ass if power is out for an extended period of time. Can't they put these power lines underground? I'm no engineer, but that makes all too much sense to me

I guess I will see what kind of beer is lying around the fridge.

I picked up a case of Fegleys Imperial Pumpkin. 9%. Expensive and probably not worth it, but I don't have many complaints. Not bad for a pumpkin that strong.

Ha. I'm good for the moment. Has gone off twice but came back on after 30 seconds or so. We'll see.

might be a dumb question, but what does it mean when beers are labeled 'imperial'? see it all the time....imperial stout, souther tier 'imperial' pumpkin.

Good question. I could very well be wrong but I don't think there is anything anymore aisde from alcohol content. I think it has some historical context but now brewers typically label higher alcohol beers imperial.

It basically means really strong, sort of like double, as in double IPA.

The historical context is this:

In Britain in the 1700s I think they made a porter for the czarina or something like that. But it had to be really strong to survive shipping to Russia. They called it imperial porter or stout.

"really strong"?

Yeah, most likely. Best beer with high alcohol I've had is Mad Elf - 12% XMas Beer.

David McCullough on 60 minutes talking about walking through Old City/Society Hill, pretty incredible. Brilliant dude.

great segment.

i love the fact that his office is basically an 8 by 12 shed in his back yard.

been meaning to read his truman book for years now.






......and how awful was the joint interview with reid and mcconnell? sticking to talking points in an interview that is essentially lambasting them for similiar behavior. reid even had a little piece of paper to refer to. they just don't get it. and it is beyond frustratiing. :x

And dude still writes on a typle writer. Yeah, I have only read 1776. Great book. Would like to read the Truman and Adams books as well. Pretty irrelevant, but when my old man died, I inherited a signed Harry Truman memoir that was sent to my dad by Truman after he wrote a college thesis on him. Pretty awesome. Fucked up part is that I didn't even know this signed book existed until after he died and my family was talking about him.

Yeah, that was terrible. Both clowns.

Finishing up the Paterno book tonight. Really good. I wish everyone who has a strong opinion on the situation would read that. They won't and it doesn't argue that he shouldn't be criticized, but I think it lays out the situation pretty well.
