@Twanzio: It's a nice, light, fruity beer. I lump it in as a desert beer. I rarely pair it with food, but it is an excellent beer to drink solo, just like Victory Storm King is. Another great beer I forgot, and my favourite with pizza or something creamy/cheesy, is Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.
@Nathan Obbards: Excellent choice, just about anything victory brews is quality (I am more of a hop devil man myself). I would add a home brewing kit to the list. For truly geeky relaxation not too much beats the smell of fresh hops. (come on Gawker lets see Brewhacker, or Brewmodo, or Beertaku)
@baronvonotocon: That would be amazing for them to have. I would volunteer as a writer if I got free beer out of it. Hop Devil is good too, I just prefer a good stout or porter at times, though I love IPAs and ESBs (and nearly always find myself disappointed with lagers and pilsners).
Someone in my cohort saddens me because they don't brew. They have hops growing in their backyard, but still don't brew.
@Nathan Obbards: I just read all those beer comments and now my mouth is watering! ANYTHING Unibroue is excellent and I am so fgonna try that Storm King. BTW, I had a Founder's Breakfast Stout the other night and it was outstanding.
@maven2k: If you have a Trader Joe's near you, keep an eye out for some of their house brand beers. They have one that comes out in a big bottle that is made by Unibroue and is seriously one of my favourite beers ever. I just hate the fact that it's a seasonal beer.
@Nathan Obbards: There's a couple Trader Joes about an hour from me that I make the trek for occasionally, and I agree, there house brands are pretty good. Thanks for the tips!
@baronvonotocon: With the new comment system we could always start a #beer thread. I'm in if you do, heh, and if I knew how to put pics in the comments I'd show you my Hobgoblin mug I just got.
@maven2k: To add pics, just click the funky little button next to the YouTube one and it should have a hover over that says upload image. After clicking that, simply choose upload an image or add an image URL. I prefer the URL route and tend to upload pics to imgur.com
@Nathan Obbards: Wow, that was easy, thanks. I don't know why I never played with that before. Here's the Hobgoblin mug. I took this with my Blackberry and I should've turned it around a little so you could see the little dude is the handle, but oh well.
@Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: I still love the New York Times and my back home newspaper (The Orange County Register), if just as a contrast to the other news sources as it is quite libertarian.
As a bicyclist myself I've got to ask: Where the hell is that guy locking up that bike? Baghdad?
Thats a bit overkill if he's just running into the store or stopping for a bite (which is the only time I ever chain up to a street sign or the like). Kinda defeats the purpose of having two spots to chain to when one guy runs two different locks through the whole thing. #gizmodoremainders
@tande04: I run a very tin cable through my front tire for longer events, but that thing is just overkill. Also the bikes are meant to be secured with one on each side, so this setup still works. #gizmodoremainders
@tande04: China. You can still get a bike stolen here in the time it takes to visit an ATM - even with it chained to a pole and a wheel lock. #gizmodoremainders
@Toastie: Yeah it still works, just not as well as it could have.
You can get two bikes on a sign too, one on each side, but then you end up fumbling around the other guy's stuff, getting stuff looped, and maybe tangled. None of its a big deal, it can just get to be a hassle. A hassle that could be avoided had jackass not locked his bike down like fort knox when he's just getting a pack of gum. #gizmodoremainders
@senorbelly: Wow, they poop like us. They have the shake-off at the end, and then they turn around and admire their work. You learn something new every day.

That's eerily similar to the aftermath when I told my GF that she'd be as cute as her sister if she took some extra weight off. My eyebrows took three months to grow back.
@GitEmSteveDave_TheREALChrisCha...: Dude I hope you didn't go for the "honesty is the best policy"/"you can tell me anything" line. That's guaran-damn-teed to start an argument.
@GitEmSteveDave_TheREALChrisCha...: You just had to go and poke a stick into that hornet's nest didn't you? When you do that the hornets are naturally going to become pissed and sting you.
@Software_Goddess: Reminded me of mushrooms. And then badgers, and now I hate myself cause I'm stuck with this song in my head for the rest of the day.

My favourite way to relax? A six pack of these and (prepare to laugh) drunkenly playing Army of Two with a roommate. It's wonderful fun.
