Yes, that’s right, it’s Friday afternoon, most staff have buggered off early and I’m bored, so I’m doing another time-wasting, inane and pointless poll.

I am almost exclusively a Hefeweizen drinker, which isn’t saying that I don’t enjoy other beers.  But how I do love the taste of those cloudy and fattening wheat beers!  Squeeze in a couple of lemon wedges, suck the lemon juice off your finger tips - whew! sour! - then lift, drink, and enjoy.

Repeat as necessary.

(there is a wheat beer on the list, but since I haven’t tasted that particular brand, I was forced into using the “bastard” response)

My most-oft drunk beer (gosh those words go together nicely) is a once-local now faily well distributed microbrew called Gorden Biersch Marzen.  Dark, full and effective.

Mostly tho, I just go straight for the gin on warm days and the scotch on cold days.

Last night I would have paid with my soul for a pan-galactic gargle blaster.

Ahh, a pan-galactic gargle blaster.  Now we’re talking.  I’d start it off with a Coopers Stout, just as an apertif.

Beer.  Beer!  I think I’ll go find one.

Beer, in my opinion, looks and smells like urine.  Yuck!

Now everyone, let’s show some restraint here.  Nobody attack, Coyote.  My guess is that she has been exposed too early in life to the damaging effects of Coors Light and some of the other beers in the “urine family”.

Actually, that’s kinda true.  All the men in my family drink beer from the “urine family.”  I’ve been scared for life.

No kidding.  I almost had to shut the entire site down for lack of business.

I thought you had actually.  I had found a great website about the Aussie phrase “taking the piss” and piss-weak beer, but this forum censored me and refused to let me post.  What a bugger!

What?!  This talk of censorship doesn’t sound right.  There are no censorship rules in place, as far as I know.

Oh, yup.  It was Scrine.  Just tried it again.  I’ll send you a screenshot, since I can’t post it here.

Thanks for the email, Boot.  Yes, I see what you mean now.

The software does come with a default set of blacklisted sites, and I am constantly updating this list myself, adding to it sites that are continually trying to scour my referral logs in order to obtain information about Scrine’s visitors.  A site might also make the list if they are computers trying to pretend they are human simply as an attempt to lure people somewhere with a link.  I have little to no tolerance for that sort of spam.

The list is, I’m sure, far from perfect, and I suspect that URL’s could end up on it by mistake from time to time, although I try my best to avoid this from happening.  My overall goal, if there is such a thing, is for Scrine to be as spam-free a place as possible.

A lofty and worthy goal.  Change nothing and continue on your way as you are.  A round of applause for your anti-spam good efforts!

Well, Coyote, all piss-pour (leaving that cute Freudian typo in) beer aside, I must point out that both my beloved scotch and good Italian espresso have been colorfully described as tasting “like an angel pissing on your tongue,” so I am not one to knock urine in its various (celestial) forms.
