ParticipantNaw, man. Couldn’t afford Molson. Genesee Cream Ale. And Rolling Rock.
“From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you.”
BTW, I didn’t really figure out the whole SoCal thing until I saw Lebowski. Now I understand everything. 🙂

Participantgandalf: Great flick! I see you siding with the nihilists, though…
For my sophmore Latin class, I had to translate “The Iliad” from Latin to English. And you couldn’t just go out and buy an English copy and transcribe it, because it translated differently. That little episode forever cured me of reading ANYTHING in the original Latin. Screw that. I’ll buy the Cliff Notes.
It is an excellent book. It was first recommended me to by a Jesuit priest when I was in 6th grade. He opined that all of history was contained in that one book. He wasn’t far off.
One other interesting observation, or, more accurately, analogy: You look at Athens in the book, rich and powerful, and wonder why, at the height of their power and prestige, they would engage in an utterly futile and sanguinary war that lasted 30+ years and ruined them completely.
It’s scary how often history truly does repeat itself. The players (Athens, Rome, Great Britain) change, but the storyline remains the same.
Pax Romana, Pax Britannia, Pax Americana… Pax Cathay?

July 22, 2008 at 11:54 PM #244999ParticipantPax Cathay? Whoa, man. That’s an interesting thought. Let me think about this for a second… The Chinaman peed on the rug… Asian-American. He peed on the Dude’s rug… That rug really tied the room together… Fuckin’ A… I think I’m following you, man. Pax Britannia, Pax Americana, Pax Cathay…
BTW, I can’t be one of the nihilists. They don’t believe in anything. Nuthing! Nada! Not a thing.
I believe in “Hope”, remember? 😉
