I'm waiting to read in the newspapers how Gunner's Great Cull has
finally started. It's amazing how the American public has become so
complacent as to allow this to continue happening. Locke had it right.

Brief synopsis by Brokor:
"Excellent combination of historical fiction and political thriller,
this work chronicles the deterioration of gun rights in the United
States by following a family through the 20th century. Included are
detailed fictionalized accounts of the Ruby Ridge massacre, the FBI
shootout in Miami in 1986, and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of World War
II. The book then moves to the present day, describing a rouge
government agency that attempts to criminalize legal gun owners, and
armed resistance breaks out.

Not for the faint of heart, this book is violently and sexually
graphic, and its message will be objectionable to most. But it
presents an interesting thought exercise--were the Founding Fathers
serious when they established the 2nd amendment as a means of citizens
defending themselves in the face of tyranny? And if so, what would
that look like in the 21st century?"

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND ENTERTAINING READ.

There's an alarming precedent for Midsummer midnight madness. On the
night of August 4, 1789 the newly elected and inexperienced French
National Assembly pulled a drunken all-nighter and changed all the
laws:

Miller sent in a check for their Mn state license, but the check was
more than required, so the licensing board sent it back. Before they
could process the new check, the state shut down, so Miller couldn't
sell product.

Have you tried their Genuine Draft?

Karl Strauss Amber Lager is made from the old Andeker recipe. Draft
(but not bottled) Andeker in Milwaukee was the best beer I've tasted

An old story is that Ballentine Beer wanted a new slogan. And decided
to have a contest to find the new slogan. After much searching they
decided on a slogan suggested by a young man. " Ballentine Beer is
like love in a canoe."

In my opinion Miller could use the same slogan for Miller Lite.

I remember it as good but not exceptional. At the Oktoberfest I
usually went to the Spaten tent.

One year they sent me there with three soldiers who were being
rewarded for something, officially with a week to deliver a
typewriter. I was one of the few people who spoke German and could
drive, or function at all off the Army base. We sat down across from
four girls and I started chatting happily with the one opposite me,
then noticed the other three guys and girls all sitting quietly and
frowning. Turns out only the one I was talking to spoke English. We
could NOT get a conversation going among the others, or get them to
join the dancing and singing, Freut Euch des Lebens! What a waste!
There's almost no place I'd rather be, yet they had a miserable time
and wanted to go home early.

The girl I talked to wondered if Americans could tune into the
collective mentality of Germans having fun. Even when drunk and giggly
they all cheered, sang, stood up and swayed etc in perfect unison.

'Sounds like fun.

Speaking of having fun, the night I arrived in Lausanne, Switzerland, at
around midnight (I was a student there for a year), I expected, from all I'd
heard, that the town would be quiet and basically closed down.

Instead, there were hundreds of half-drunk people snake-dancing in the
streets, music was blaring, and the stores were open. It turns out I arrived
on the night of the annual Chebrix wine festival, one of the few nights the
Swiss really cut loose.

I though I was in for some wild parties, but that was the last one.

Based on what you've said, I was pretty sure you would not. I meant it as a
joke. I'm not sure they're even importing Dinkel Acker anymore. I haven't
had it for a few years.

You might like River Horse, though. It's a little like Sam Adams, only
sweeter. It has plenty of flavor but it's not bitter.

3 beers you guys need to try if you get over there are Leikeim, Gessner, and
the lower priced one all the the east Germans drink, Ur-Krostitzer.
It's all I can do to drink beer back in here in the US anymore. Hate to
