That's my favorite part of Festivus.

I suppose I could repeatedly bench press my 18# kitty as a feat of strength. Not so sure he'd be terribly thrilled with the idea.

Yuengling! America's oldest brewery and damn fine stuff. FUCK YEAH!!!!1!

It took me a long time to get used to the fact that all you had to do was ask for "Lager" and every bartender in the state knew exactly what you meant. I drank a lot of their Chesterfield Ale in college. Mostly I just have one when we go out to eat now. We don't tend to keep beer in the house constantly anymore.
