reese's peanut butter cups are my favorite.
starbursts and skittles are my sweet alternatives.
i really dislike any gummy candy. i'm not really a fan of gum in general, i'd much rather take a mint.

during easter, reese's peanut butter cups get those eggs with white or milk chocolate. both are great.
it's a good time.

things i learned at the 9th annual (my 3rd) gitchee gumee brewfest.

- light beers still rule regardless of anything anyone will ever say.
- i actually went around clockwise AWAY from grainbelt and didn't resort to running over there until the halfway point.
- dark beers are ALWAYS worth a ridiculous amount of consumption when:
-- they are named things like 'berserker" or "foolish"
-- when they have a ridiculous alcohol content. ^ was 10.1%
- girls will always show their tits for dumb things, like t-shirts or blow-up bottles.
- guys will always give dumb things like t-shirts or blow-up bottles to girls who show their tits.
-leinie's sunset wheat tastes JUST LIKE summer sausage. so much so, that it made me think, 'would you drink this beer while grilling out? or just in january when you WANT to grill out?'
- arby's 5 for 5 deal is the best aftermath of drinking for 4 hoursn

- naked hot-tubbing.
- the bringeth of the keg. the drinketh of the keg.
- round 2 of categories mushroom.
- how pissed everyone was when we found out someone ripped out all of our entries in the condo journals from last time.
- a GREAT day of skiing, lots of sun, no wind, and a whole lotta snow. well enough. in most places. except for some rocks. i'm sorry snowboard.
- the honorary saturday night keg stands.
- jeff ruhlman. and the attack of permanent markers. and half-hitler staches, and dicks on faces.

- actual baseball can get rained out. there is never a rain delay in little league (for nes!)
- it only has 6 innings for quicker tournaments, as well as a 10 run rule.
- you get to pick what country you are.
- you can hate on texas, new york, AnD canada all in one game.
- you can steal bases, but also pick off runners.
- you can steer pitches and not strike out EVERY player like other games.
- the bunt is always a foreseeable option in this game.
- you have short stubby players and tall, lanky players ( a prerequisite for any great game, ex. - ICE HOCKEY)
- you can do the dive-catch on EVERY pop fly.
- pitchers can come back into the game for the final batter
- all names are actually relative to their home country.
- you decide away/home by THROWInG the BAT.
- you can set your infield/outfield to Double Play mode, short mode, bunt mode, any TYPE of mode

SOME FACTS ABOUT LITTLE LEAGUE:
- Picking texas, new york, or canada means you are insecure in your abilities.
- Spain is always my team, and Rudy always throw my first pitch.
- Stealing home is bragging rights for 4 more games.
ex. "Remember that time i stole home?"
"F U."
"Yeah, it was pretty rad." - circa 2002.
- makes a great drinking game

You're going to lose a superbowl when:
- your team is covered in the color Teal, or something that used to resemble teal.
- your mascot is a made up animal that's not a liger or a griffin.
- you run into the song 'bittersweet' symphony' by the verve (now don't get me wrong, i love the song, but it has the word 'bittersweet' in it. it's also a rolling stones cover WHO ARE PLAYING at half-time. makes no sense)
- your quarterback is young AND BALDING.

i bought a banjo. i figure it'll be a lifelong skill.
and i am really digging the bluegrass version of 'ooh la la' by rod stewart.
