Don't remember seeing Michelob on the shelves here in Vancouver, that must be some other US brand. I normally only drink wine or liqueurs, but since "I am Canadian" if I were to drink beer then maybe it would be Molson.

(Well possibly not true, I used to drink a Guinness Stout when I was bicycle racing in my 20's, so it might be that instead.)

I think teacake meant Molson. Michelob = nasty crap, Molson = good.

Michelob is an American beer (if you can call any beer that Anheuser-Busch makes beer), and Molson is a mildly delicious beer made by Canadians.


Yes, sorry! Got the M words confused. I'm not a beer drinker, so maybe I should just keep my big trap shut.

You did NOT just imply that gin and tonic is an acquired taste of something nasty.

harumph

Alcohol that glows in the dark if you bombard it with electromagnetic radiation... what's not to like?

To be fair, it's really the tonic water (quinine) that glows in the dark.

And I do love the taste of a good gin and tonic (with lime), though I'm more of a bourbon man myself at this point.

No worries, my brain is switched off all the time.

Gotta save some mental energy for when I get old.

FYI, the OP has been trolling the FFXIV boards for about a month now. We no longer take him/her/it seriously.

As a former WoW player myself, I'll take that in the spirit in which I believe it was intended. :P

Red Star erguotou -- RMB 7.5 per bottle, 56% alcohol (we don't ask about the other 44%). Available at corner mom and pop stores across Beijing, next to the pickled chicken feet.

The answer to your question and all WoW-related questions (and in fact all questions pertaining to existence, the universe, and what it means to be alive) is indeed 42.

As to whether this equates to all WoW players being 42 years old or pretending to be 42 year olds or all 12 year olds having 42 fingers has yet to be determined.

What is undoubtedly important is the fact that 42 is indeed the answer. You must then now devout the rest of your life to understanding the great mystery of this answer and forget your short sighted, loaded question, "is it true that WoW is for 12 year-olds?" All the matters now to your existence and the existence of mankind is that the answer to your question, and all questions, is indeed, without a doubt, 42.

wow's not a kids game, it's rated T for teen. most people who don't play video games think that only little kids like video games, and any adult playing a video game must = no life nerd. So as such, people look at WoW and think it's a kiddy game, especially with that stupid south park wow parody episode. People who don't play wow seem to think that episode of south park straight up explains what wow and its players are like.


one of the things I hate about south park, they parody stuff and people believe it to be the reality. Strange.... Oh well.

I had PBR once...it tastes like if you took a Heineken, opened it, left it sitting out for a week, and then drank it.

You shouldn't hate South Park for that, you should hate the people that are stupid enough to believe that South Park portrays things in a realistic manner. It's a ******* cartoon for crying out loud. South Park is a satire, they purposefully make different parts of pop culture exaggerated and over the top to make fun of it. It's like The Colbert Report, and how Steven satirizes conservative pundits.

Heineken is already awful, I can't imagine what PBR tastes like. I'll stick to a good large glass of Duvel. Or Guinness, or Westmalle Tripel or Leffe Double or La Chouffe or La Trappe or or or...... Brb, going to get a beer.

Context is everything, in context PBR is decent beer. I say this as someone who knows PBR as "the beer brewed downstream from Chicago". [Re-read that and make sure you have the advertising slogan "it's the water" firmly in mind.]

First, it is a mass market American beer. It is brewed to be served slightly warmer than frozen, to accompany pork rinds, Cheetos, nachos, hot dogs, hamburgers and BBQ ribs. Chilled to a point that would render even better beers just a bit more flavorful than bottled water, it is a good match for such fare.

Second, it is up against the likes of Olde English 800, Schlitz Malt Liquor and other fine brew in the 40 oz. format (or others sold mainly on the point of being cheaper by the case than beer like PBR). Indeed, after buying that 12 pack of PBR, you can hold your head up proudly among peers who drink effete things like Champale, Thunderbird, Boone's Farm and Night Train because at least you aren't a cheap drunk, nor have you succumbed to drinking light beer.

Last, but not least among horrors, it survives in the American distribution system. The same folk who have managed to keep Chock Full O'Nuts and Safari (colored sawdust sold in large cans mislabeled as coffee) on the shelves in supermarkets are also stocking the beer.

Context is everything, I'm going to go out and drink Yanjing at something like thirty cents per 600 ml bottle. It goes well enough with skewers of grilled lamb and the somewhat Turkish style dishes of Western China.
