Beer of the Moment: January 2010

Franziskaner Dunkel Hefe-Weisse

dunkel

If you know me at all you know that I have no problem admitting that I love a good brew from time to time. I’ll be featuring certain specific brews and touting them as my “Beer of the Moment”. My goal is to hook you up with something you might not have tried but will end up loving!

What can I tell you about Franziskaner? To me this is probably the most authentic German brew company in existence today.  It’s the real deal imported from Germany — when you find it in singles you’ll get the full sized pint bottle. That’s how you know it’s good!

Tastes like: Hacker-Pschorr with Creamy Dark infused but without that “Leinie’s” after-taste. If you like Hefe-Weisse style brews, this one is something you should try for sure!

Where to find it: I’ve found it in the Eau Claire area at Festival Foods and Mega! Foods (Hastings Way).

Cost:  Expect to pay around $8 for a six pack of this delicious brew.

… all this beer talk is making me THIRSTY!


Bathroom Questions

I have some unanswered questions in regards to bathrooms, and I’d like your help in the matter.

1. What’s the deal with the paper towel sensor? I can NOT dry my hands on a 1″ by 3″ piece of thin paper, I just require more than that. I wave my hand again and again, and nothing happens… until I get angry and punch the thing and it finally spits out another inch. I know you’re trying to save money, but who are these people that use SO much paper that it caused you to freak out about limiting to a single small square? I’d like to know who these people are.

2. What’s the deal with stanky-ass bathrooms? Every bathroom should have a fan and ventilation to avoid the ass-smell from building up in there! We’re talking about a room where people do nothing but pee and poop inside of it all day long — who are the geniuses? And if you think that they DO have a plan, you’re wrong 81% of the time. These “vents” and “fans” do nothing. We have got to get better at this people!

3. What’s the deal with all these homophobes? I understand that it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world to have to pee near someone, but is it really necessary to stand and wait if you had to use the urinal next to another man? What are you afraid that someone is going to molest your penis? Honestly. Grow up.

4. What’s the deal with troughs? For those of you that don’t know, this is a trough with NO DIVIDER OF ANY TYPE where men are expected to line up like cattle and hang their schlongs out. I have no problem with this usually, but it’s still just weird that there couldn’t be a little half-wall or some sort of lines painted on the floor to keep people at least a foot apart. I’m glad that Lambeau Field finally got rid of theirs when it was redone.

5. What’s the deal with the water tap sensors? Is there some criminal out there turning on the faucets and running away? If so, is there not a single human being that could have noticed the bathroom faucet was running in their 8 hour shift and turn it off? Why must we be treated like convicts because of the chance that someone is going to leave it on for a second too long?

6. What’s the deal with hand dryers that are locked into place so you can’t point them up to your face? I for one like to wash my face or rinse it during the day… I splash the water up and then suddenly I realize that I have to use my jeans to help dry my face since it’s just too much to ask to be able to tilt the damed blower at me! Again, what are we afraid of here? Don’t tell me it couldn’t possibly spin, because I know we have the technology!

… some things that have been bugging me, that’s all.

Shakira + Beyonce… *purrr*

A tastey video for you all to enjoy… it’s one of my favorites of the moment. I realize it’s not brand new or whatnot, but every time I listen to it I feel like I’m slipping into a trance.
