ok....so there are some things that piss me off right now.
First of all. Stop calling LaDainian Tomlinson "LT". Seriously. There will only be one LT and that is Lawrence Taylor, one of the NFL's best defensive players of all time. One of the most intimidating players, to say the least. I am not as passionate about this as some, but it doesnt sound right or sit right with me. Lawrence Taylor will always be in my mind, and should be in anyone else's mind that knows anything about football, the one, true LT. THE LT. Tomlinson just happens to have those initials. So ESPN, suck it up. Say his full name. Don't abbreviate and disrespect one of the NFL's greatest linebackers.
Moving on.
I am sick of these stupid Bud Light beer commercials. Ugh. The main problem with them is that they are trying to get people to think smarter about what they do with their beer. how they drink it, how they store it, how they pour it. IT IS BUD LIGHT!!!! for the love. i swear. there is no taste or aroma to release by "pouring down the middle." It is Bud Light! And that in itself is bad advice that can be misapplied very easily. Sure. Pour your Bud Light down the middle. See if i care. It is CRAP BEER. but you do not pour my Guinness, Bodingtons, Stella, Kilkenny, Heineken, or even Yuengling down the middle! You will create a huge foamy head that will take ten minutes to settle, keeping me from the delicious beer that i want to consume. You will also interfere with the mixing and layering of the flavor of the full-bodied beer (this is the key, Bud Light is nowhere close to full-bodied....or even good). Why do you think it is so amazing to watch the Guinness and Bodingtons settle and mix as the creamy richness mixes perfectly? There is a perfect pour, and if you want to know how to do it, dont listen to freaking Bud Light marketing executives. If any pub owner in Ireland (or anywhere else in Europe for that matter) knew that this horrible advice was being distributed to the masses in America, they would revolt and stop sending their much-superior beer to our country until we can show it more respect. "THE POUR" is something that is learned through much training, and when perfected, it is something to be proud of. This comes from the makers and servers of Guinness. Yeah. Hear of it before? Real beer...since 1759. Yeah I think they know what they are talking about. And bartenders that know about THE POUR and do it well, have yet to disappoint me.
A summary of the perfect pour, from an admittedly novice admirer:
Maintain a serving temperature of 55 degrees F (or for extra cold Guinness, some prefer 40 degrees F), hold the glass at a 45 degree angle, allow the draught to pour down the side of the glass. Fill to 3/4 full and let it settle. Finish by pushing the handle away, not pulling towards, and topping off the pint. A thick, creamy head should be left on top, which will remain until the pint is finished.
That is how beer is to be pour. Not freaking Bud Light, poured out of a can, into a Solo cup for beer pong. Dont make a fool of yourself and make a spectacle of your own ignorance by telling me to pour any beer down the center. The fake Confucian monk means nothing and knows nothing about beer. Ugh, and for God's sake, it is Bud Light, for the last time.
Similarly, but much more briefly, thank you for telling me how to store my beer. Apparently, Americans are such idiots that they thought they could store beer (once again this is Bud Light, but I am not even going there again) in heat and sunlight and suffer no effect on the taste? What must the rest of the world be thinking? They are just sitting there shaking their heads and saying, how are they the most powerful nation in the world? A nation of idiots. Don't know how to make beer or store it or pour it or consume it properly. Sickening.
And finally. Rain. Rain pisses me off. It sucks. Totally necessary at times and all that, yes i know. But after an absolutely beautiful weekend in Colorado, to come back to the burg and have it rain all day.....ugh. not what i wanted. very sad and depressing.
ok. enough tirades for right now.
