Morning Bp and Neko!

Yeah I love those building projections! Hope to see some nice Halloween ones here coming soon.

Thanks all for the Syanpase run last night was a good time. Although we all do seem to have differening opinions of what herding and what stealthing is? :P It still got done.

I was 3. My dad gave me a capful. I hated it. I haven't had it since. Not really a fan of any alcohol I've had really. Cognac was bitter and disgusting.

It's funny, people always say it's an acquired taste. I never could understand why you would torture yourself to acquire the taste to begin with. Ah well, to each their own.

Same reason why people start smoking. To be 'cool'. Which is really more the modern, self perpetuating reason start. It does make me wonder though, how these things got started in the first place. There's so many nasty, disgusting or downright dangerous things people put in their mouths, why did we start it in the first place. You'd think the first few people trying it and going 'Oh my god this is horrible!' would pretty much put closed the deal. I guess people are gluttons for punishment, or really desperate.

Because once you acquire the taste for the 'black stuff' (Nickname for Guinness) you realize all other beers pale in comparison (in both taste and color )
As for me I enjoyed it from my very first one years ago. I thought it was just just an odd coincidence that the VHG members loved it also.
But, anyway, lets keep the celebration going! Bagpipists and dancers will be coming in shortly!

My theory Neko, is that there was nothing good to drink in the middle ages. Water was all scummy in the town well, no soda, no gatorade so beer and wine was the best thing going.

Any bag pipists in here get shot PogoPogo. Fair warning! I will put a hover tank round right through that vacuum cleaner they call a musical instrument.

Actually that's not far off the truth. Alcohol is a sterilizer, so despite (or perhaps because of) its inebriating ability it was something you KNEW wasn't full of disease jsut waiting to kill you. It helping your life seem less bleak and depressing was also a good thing at the time. That's really just for the cheap boozes. Wine's been around for century upon century and is actually healthy in small doses (a glass with dinner).

Ok PogoPogo, I'll make you a deal. No more beverage history provided there are no squeaky bagpipes?
