cheap Guinness-like beer is... actually quite good

Ok, so there's a backstory to this one.

Last night my girlfriend and I were out. Had dinner at this awesome Thai/Japanese restaurant and then went to hear some of my friends play (they're good, kind of like Dave Matthews meets James Taylor with some Damien Rice angst thrown in). Afterwards it was back to her house to try to burn some DVDs on her G4.

Anyways, around midnight or 1AM I was starving. So we got in the car to head off to either Waffle House or Steak n Shake, those being the 2 places open 24 hours that served relatively decent food for cheap. So, on our way to Waffle House we saw this truck in a ditch on the side of the road. I was just going to drive by but then I thought maybe the driver is hurt and laying there bleeding to death and I'm a certified Rescuer (used to be a lifeguard). So I turn around, park on the other side of the road and turn on my emergency lights.

The truck is empty, but there's a kid walking out of the bushes/trees down past the ditch and he asks us for a flashlight. I give him one of mine I keep in the glove box and ask him if he's ok and he says he is.

So, turns out he's looking for his blunt that his other friend through out of the truck, which supposedly ran out of gas and they tried to pull over but ran off the road into the ditch. The cops had already come by and had taken the other kid off because neither of them had a license. The kid looking for the blunt also was rounding up a 12 pack of beer he had thrown in the bushes when the cops had come up. There was also a thing for meth in the ashtray but I didnt see it...

Anyways, I'm kind of like "God... what have I gotten myself into?" A couple other people stop and offer to help pull the truck out and after a couple failed attempts another cop car shows up. The cop gets out and after a few tells the kid that if he gets in the truck he's going to arrest him because the other kid confessed that neither of them had a license. So I offered to take the kid home and so I start driving off and he's like "Wait! Gotta get my beer!" so we head back.

Take him to his friends and drop him off and leave. Tonight I went out to find one can of beer in my backseat and decided to try it out. I was unsure whether I'd like it or not but it's actually ok and reminds me of Guinness, which for those of you that dont drink, it's like pure sex in a bottle. So, this cheap Guinness-a-like is called Steel Reserve and is actually ok.

But there's a story, sorry for it being so long.

you haven't lived until you've had guiness stout dark beer.

Your first taste is like a kick in the nuts, but the flavor kind of grows on you. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

I agree. But it's 900x better in a pub, in Ireland.

Interesting.

Somehow that sounds potential for a Simpsons episode, but I think it's just me.

Fantastic story.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
