Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Rather, I'm a fan of balance.  My favorite Czech-style pilsner in the USA, Like Oak Pilz, has quite a bit of hops in it.  Most Euro pilsners do. But it's balanced with an appropriate dose of malt to keep the flavor profile in check.  Additionally, it uses Czech saaz hops, which I find to be quite tasty, rather than the really bitter c-hops that are most commonly found in American West Coast IPAs. Balance is the key. 

A friend brought back some imported Czech Pilsner(in the can) from a trip in central Pa last year.While in some little out of the way hamlet he grabbed it.I've been kicking myself in the keiser ever since that I did not keep the can with the Czech writing.It was some of the best suds ever to cascade over me buds.I'm convinced the waxed lined cans are the way to go - keeping the damaging rays of light completely out - it's a thing

Spaghetti must be a bitch to eat like that.

The middle easterns do it all the time with their community plates - but I'm not certain where their hands have been

i don't understand women. 

as a bachelor i used  precisely one glass, one plate, one bowl, one spoon, one fork, one knife- they took up residence beside the sink after being washed by hand immediately after use.  When my now wife moved in she screeched the first time she used the dishwasher as it was spitting water everywhere- the seals had dried up and cracked... and they could have been that way from when i bought the house for all i know. 

something else i don't get... never in my life have a had to repair a cabinet door or towel bar prior to women in the house... the lower cabinets they put weight on as they lean down to peer into... they use the upper ones to pull themselves up... i think they must throw a towel over a towel bar and swing like freakin' monkeys when nobody is looking.  ... then, it's perpetually "form over function" with dozens of little pillows across a bed in an arrangement that apparently has assignments and precision for each component which i've yet to duplicate. 

my God, what have I done?  I'm the only dude in the house.  I had a dude dog for about six months, and 'they' took him to the vet... 'he' came back an 'it'. 

don't get me wrong- the 'oddities' as you've called them are fascinations and are often interesting and rarely vexing.  i guess the thing that strikes me odd is my lady is far from dumb or lacking common sense- she's got a pile of degrees and certifications- and it's for this reason it strikes me as odd she can't understand some simple things intuitively. 

a for instance: she wanted to put a hot tub on the deck of a property we own in the 'great white north' as i call it.  she had no idea why i was speaking about beams and joists, sistering piers and introducing bracing in regards to distribution of weight.  It took me a while to grasp where she was losing traction it seemed so simple and common a concept to me... 

Women breathe different air

just wired differently

apparently I'm too logical to understand them

Don't give me any ideas FF.So Cindy has dyslexia and man I'll tell you it's tough.I completely cleaned the fridge out yesterday - washed the whole interior shelves,bins,nooks,crannies anyway there was at least two of everything opened except mayo there was 3 of those,2 brown mustards,2 italian dressings,chicken broths etc,etc,etc.Oh and there were 3 bags of walnuts.She is a fantastic cook but I have the god given ability to clean up after her.Looks like the food fight scene in Animal House after she is done cooking

My i s c & a aggie wife is the same way when she cooks. I call it the "shitsplosion."
