My wife has some gray hair, but it is real strange. It only gets about a quarter inch long, at the roots, and seems to come and go. Or at least I don't always notice it, I can't figure out which.

Err - does that mean you HAVE spent the night in a LOW CLASS New Orleans bordello?

And, yes I rolled a truck, and just to top it off it was a small FIRE TRUCK, and I rolled it 360 degrees, landing in the middle of a fire, no less.

And, I got an award, because I was wearing a hard hat (new-fangled things at the time).

You're a wise man, Mono. and speaking of beer and things you've never done, I've never met a beer I didn't like.

Would you like to go through this list, drinking them all warm?

Actually, I think I tried some of those when I was in college. The only way to even consider drinking some of them was to already be drunk.

I have a Porsche Cayman. It's a hoot! The only problem is that it is not bicycle friendly. I'm going to have to buy a Porsche brand roof rack and they aren't cheap.

I never learned how to fly an airplane (and never will).

Install a trailer hitch on your Porsche, then you can use a "plug in" rack...

Yes but it will carry your bike faster than it has ever gone before.

Are those American Warm or English Warm? I had an hour long argument with an Englishman over what exactly was a warm beer. He seemed to feel that you actually had to heat it a bit for it to be warm. Room temp was just cool, not warm.

But I'd rather try this list.

The Best Beers

The top beer is by Three Floyds Brewing Company. Which one's Pink?
