Saison

I credit the following to my faithful friends at Yahoo! Babel. I don't know French very well, so correct me for any outstanding errors. Now, mind you, that doesn't mean I can't understand some French, but without having ever taken any French, I think it's best I use the translator for this. The translator is great by the way; it's gotten me through a lot of language barriers in the day. You just need to know enough about the language to avoid any serious errors.

Je parle français pauvre, mais je me sens obligé à saisir français pour faire cette justice d'écriture. Pour ceux de vous qui n'a pas su, nous avons assisté à un mariage la semaine dernière au Michigan. Amanda a aidé à commander la cérémonie, alors que j'étais l'un des membres du groupe de mariée. C'était un beau mariage et une beaux mariée et marié.

J'avais prévu pendant longtemps le mariage, en raison de mon amitié avec les deux et aussi parce que j'étais excited pour toute les bière brassée à la maison de marié. Quand nous sommes arrivés à la réception, je n'ai perdu aucune heure en trouvant la bière pour célébrer le mariage et le maître de bière. J'ai une histoire de longue date avec des bières flamandes, et une des bières que la nuit a été brassée pour refléter une histoire de la région française de la Belgique.

Saison: un genre de bière qui a été faite pour des ouvriers à la moisson (et la mort de moi). C'est une bière d'or avec 6% a.b.v. La belle bière a fait un imbécile de danse merveilleux de moi. Qui est étonné? Avec reconnaissance, Amanda était là pour prendre soin de moi. J'ai inclus une image pour votre divertissement. Si seulement le mal de tête le lendemain matin étaient aussi drôle que cette image.

Merci à mon épouse merveilleuse de prendre soin de moi, et les félicitations aux ménages mariés. Bonne chance à tous les deux vous!

Belgian Beards

Usually when I think I Belgium, I think of 3 things. Flemish, that mixture language spoken that represents the unique mixture of cultures in the country. Chocolate, which is unrivaled anywhere else in the world. And beer, which the rest of the world ought to think of just out-sourcing from Belgium.

And what I had no idea about was the fact that they have gone since June without a fully functional government. It's surprising to me that this hasn't been on the news at all, at least not where I've heard. And yet it's stated like such common fact that it must've just quietly slipped through the cracks this past summer. And what a huge thing to just slip through the cracks. But one man is not willing to accept it, and that's why he's growing his face out like a Red Wings player in May.

Women, and drinking

I know, right? I post another alcohol post on my blog. What's next?

I just wanted to briefly mention this article about women taste testing for Miller. Apparently the champion tester for the last 2 years was from Poland. Who's surprised about that? Not me. However, I was surprised that she used to be a secretary but then SABMiller started hiring in their secretaries to taste beer for them. Lucky for them.

Now, I know that I'm not great at tasting beer. I never claimed to be. However, I like beer a lot more than most women do. So if the company wants to sell beer to the males who they target in all of the ads, don't you think they'd use males with undefined pallets to test it for them? Can I taste a great beer? Yes. Can I tell you what tastes make it great? Sure. But do I plan on buying great beer for the price it will cost me? No. And that's why I doubt that women taste testers are the good choice for beer companies, unless of course they're planning on paying them less to lower the cost of the better beer they end up producing... wink, wink.
