Same thing here (minus the kids). I drink frequently and only smoke once in a while, but I prefer the high from weed as a general rule (though I love good beers so much...gonna have some Victory Prima Pilsener tonight, yay).

I hear ya - I once saw my son after smoking a joint, and it just freaked me out. Only partake after he's in bed or sleeping over somewhere else.

New Years Eve plus 2 ; After drinking our fill Wednesday night, I still have left a big bottle of red, bottle of white, Sam Adams, 2 brands of an IPA, Blue Moon, bottle of brandy, bottle of champagne, and a gently used bottle of Bourbon..

Anyone want to help me finish this off?

Happy New Year!

I like clovers. Maybe we should go the Lucky Charms path.

Hearts
SHOOTING Stars
Horseshoes
Clovers
Blue Moons
Pots of Gold
Rainbows
Red Balloons

Schmawy, you messed up. It goes, "Hearts, stars, horseshoes, clovers, and blue moons. Pots of gold and rainbows, and the red balloons." Sheesh.

Anyway, congratulations Lucky.

Sliced fried gold and a Blue Moon on draft I think I hurt myself on that troglodyte line. LOL

and to budzos, new movies already suck on the whole, which is why it makes sense for some to not spend the cash just to see a lame flick. i don't know about int'l movies, but in the states bad movies are RAMPANT.

Erm, so, you're saying that you still want to watch it though? If you think the film is so LAME, why are you downloading it? I just don't get the rationalle...

Downloading films is just wrong, this whole 'Share it's Fair' thing is utter crud. Movies cannot be made unless someone pays to watch and enjoy them.

Do I download movies? Yes. I have three kids, I hardly ever get to go out to the movies, so in order to find out if a flick is worth buying on DVD I do, yes, download a dvd rip of said movie, and then buy the DVD if I like it. I feel that in this way I end up buying more dvds than I otherwise would as I don't buy a movie sight unseen. Do I ever delude myself into thinking that what I'm doing is right? No, I know it's not... but it's a way of me seeing a lot more than I otherwise would. Do I feel bad about depriving filmmakers of money? I would if I were downloading a movie RATHER than going to see it in the movies, but we only get to go once in a blue moon.

It's people who blame movies on why they download, such as you elysse, who are using terrible logic. If you want it badly enough to download, then surely it isn't that bad? Or do you just like terrible movies? And if you do, you should be paying to see the terrible movies as you enjoy what they're making.

"Just look at the UK. Recently gun crime has suffered a massive increase, despite the handgun ban." -- yea, it went from "not a chance in hell of ever seeing one" to "maybe a chance in seeing one if your in a dark alley, alone, once in a blue moon, with £5000 in cash in your hand".

mm lager, a blue moon knock off sounds awesome, I love white ale.

My husband is a hobby brewer. He makes a great Blue Moon knock off. He makes only ales, but since we live in a cold place now...I wonder if he can try a lager?

this show is hilarious. around here it's only on once in a blue moon very late at night.

Cool stuff I didn't know from Wiki:

Clapton's guitar tone on the song, created using his Gibson SG guitar and a Marshall amplifier, is renowned among guitarists as perhaps the best example of his legendary late-'60s "woman tone", a thick yet articulate sound that many have tried to emulate. For the solo Clapton used the opening lines from the pop standard "Blue Moon", creating a contrast between the Moon and Sunshine in the two songs. The solo itself highlights the disparity, starting with long sustained notes from the memorable 1930s ballad and gradually altering each line until midpoint when the solo breaks out into a more energetic and somewhat typical guitar solo.

This is very close to the way my husband brews. He makes a killer Belgian White (Blue Moon)

This is a show, a demonstration. Hardly will you ever see a real fight, because real fights are over before they begin.

But i do prize SCA style fighting and was apart of the Barony of the Blue Moon.

Most of the time if you wish to see how the art is used practically you would have to go to the school personally. When i practice with a partner, there is no armor and rattan is very dangerous with out armor. The main thing with Aikido is in order to keep your partner out of the hospital is for it to be a fluid like a dance. If they went on the premise that the bout was for one school or another's pride (old day thinking) then it would be the fight would last less than a second. The nature of the samurai sword is not to bash an opponents armor, hack a leg off. The use of the sword is to slice, and cause massive trauma to weak points on the body and armor. The underarm, the elbow, the back of the knee, the crotch, the upper part of the neck above the gorget(the throat guard i think i spelled it wrong), and the face.

When i was in the SCA i asked if i could use a Japanese style for fighting, and i was denounced, under the premise that i would be obliterated do to the fact that they had shields. The main thing is that when a pair of knights fought each other in duel there was still a chance that both could live at the end, the tradition was in Japan that one of the dueling party had to die. They pride their traditions more than their practice of brute force, and therefore we never really see how the art is used practically.

BUT!!!!! Kendo is As we will get to seeing a real sword fight.

And we all know that real fights always come down to who wants to live the most, so in the end what you know doesnt matter its what you do in the fight that does.

But Rembar i respect your position, and i often find myself wondering the martial arts are so much like a dance between two lovers. Its laughable to watch some of these things, but the first time i told my father about how much Tai Chi was a silly game that only old softies play, he showed me the difference between practicing the art, and its use.

But ill look to see if i can find a situation other than kendo that shows Japanese medieval fighting in the practical way!
