Upon declining, they then, looking rather puzzled, followed up with "A sausage then?"

I was not quite correct, it wasn't the chalet company who made that comment, it was the agent I booked it through. I have every faith in the professional caterers!!

Like many discourses of masculinity, the liberal effete have sought to foster moral panic by demonizing young lager drinkers as unsophisticated hooligans. Their aim is to replace them with compliant and inherently leftwing real ale or craft beer drinkers, so to counteract this nihilistic and ultimately destructive emasculation, I’m starting a Campaign for Authentic Lager (CAMAL) It’s time to reclaim our identities and embrace the power of cold, yellow and fizzy and reject the eunuchization of warm, brown and flat.

So it's a life of drinking Corona, Kronenburg, Heineken, Kestrel Lager, Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Budweiser, PBR for you then without riducule from the Subaru set. ? I must say, that lager is something that I rarely consume...fizzy, burpy, yellow and bland is how I would describe it but to each his own.

Life's to short to drink crap beer....or lager.

I find it interesting that crazy people hear voices in their heads that that always tell them to go and kill people, how come they never hear ones that are a bit less violent, like do the shopping the or help with the ironing?

No Birkenstocks and standard thoughts about my mother. I am thinking of buying a pair of Blundstones and I prefer espresso to Tim Horton's coloured water.

Ok Oink, I'll hold him down while you cut off his man-bun.
Mind you, I do have a big pile of Big Rock Dunkelweisen and Scottish Heavy Ale sitting on the floor, but that was a bonus from work....

A man bun is a preemptive comb-over.

A trend I notice online in discussions and there seems to be a lot of negativity to downright hate towards boomers and Gen X from Millennial and younger generation.

I am at the end of Gen X and not in any better shape then a older millennial is, so this negativity and hate towards other generations seems odd and no idea where its coming from.

I always look at the clearance rack in Giant Tiger. Today there was an odd Mountain Ridge Polar Plaid zipper shirt. Ugly thing and something I wouldn't normally touch.

But in winter it's nice to have something with long sleeves, it's nice and soft without being thick (despite the 'polar' name) and can be worn zipped up or undone over a T-shirt. Just like a cardigan.
