I'm not one to be very interested in beer, having done something extremely
stupid under its influence once (well, maybe more than once), _but_ I've
been to "the Tied House" for lunch and found it quite appealing. Maybe
someday my taste for beer will even come back.

Since I'm unemployed right now, I should be getting the Westech out of
my system on _Monday_, so I hope to be there Tuesday night.

I've been to Cleveland recently.  It's a nice city in many ways; it has a
very good art museum.  The river hasn't caught on fire for *years* now
:-).  They don't get it about food yet (they eat that bland midwestern
stuff), but overall they're fairly nice folks.  I'd even say that
Cleveland is a nice place to visit, assuming that you avoid the winter so
you won't be buried in snow.  It's not fair to blame them for any random
poster from freenet.

Of course, their judgment isn't the greatest, seeing as how they gave
ol' Daniel K an account, but nobody's perfect.

Desiree "testosterone-filled"?  A quite amusing image ... a difficult one
to correct without qualifying for lots of suck-up points, I guess.

Now, let me get this straight. "Desiree Champaign" thinks
"Charlie Hand" is a pseudo-name? Is it just me or is there
something recursive about this?

No, I understand. She wonders if I am a pseudo-personality, 
a clone of another net.conversant in the group. Absolutely not.
I never fool around with cloning. Not after that last time.

I'll never forget it. I thought it would be great to have a
clone. I figured I could send it to work for me, have it do the 
laundry, that sort of thing. I even let it take care of my
Usenet postings.

Well, it wasn't long before I started getting E-mail from
other people in the group. Some of them told me to lighten up,
others told me to calm down, a couple of them said they let their
kids read the news group, and that they intended to *sue* me.
I didn't have the slightest idea what was going on, so I logged on
and read the posts.

There, under my name, I found post after post of the most vulgar,
foul, and abusive tirades I have ever seen in my entire life. Several 
posts were over a hundred lines of nothing but four-letter words.
I was mortified. I left a brief post about having had too much
coffee, changed my password, and went to work trying to repair my
clone.

In the end there was nothing I could do. I finally had no choice but
to get rid of him. On the pretense of a Sunday drive, I took him up
to Big Sur. As he stood on the edge of the cliff, screaming endless
profanities toward the ocean, I gently nudged him over the edge.
I was free at last.

That would have been the end of it had it not been for a police officer
who came to see what all the yelling was about. He arrived just in time
to see the whole thing, so he cuffed me and hauled me off to jail.
Fortunately I was able to make a deal with the DA, otherwise I would
not be here to tell about it. I pled guilty to the reduced charge of
"making an obscene clone fall".

Rowdy beer?  I'm not sure I'm ready for that.  I prefer my beer to
be well-behaved, and to sit quietly in the pitchers and mugs until
I'm ready to drink it.  But, to each his own.

I'll second the recommendation for Tied House.  I've heard reports
of a number of new ones I haven't checked out, but then I don't get down
that way much anymore.

Not at all.  Anyone is welcome here, as long as they don't show their ass.  If
they do (usually by posting something idiotic), they get their asses flamed.

As long as you post something even semi-literate, rational, and the least bit
intelligent, I doubt that you'll get flamed much.  As far as I've seen, none of
your posts qualify.

Well I don't know about oregonions going out of their way but
californians do have a bad rep there.  Everything from causing housing
prices to go up, traffic problems, and just plain being rude and stupid.

In a article in an airline magazine it goes to describe a scene from
downtown where a funny dressed gentleman is riding his bike down the
street. When some cars stopped to observe him the only impatient car
happened to have california plates. Oh the gentleman was the mayor of
portland.

Another problem has been with celebrities from CA voicing their opinions
about the owls and ballot measure 9.  No one wants to listen to an
outsider tell you what to do.

But once you've moved there and gotten different license plates and quit
gawking at no sales taxes you'll fit in.

The TIED HOUSE in Mountain View will bring in a large screen TV for the superbowl.
I think that's on Sunday, Jan. 31.  They will offer 1/2 pints for a buck, a good
way to sample their brews.  I was there on Sat. nite and found it to be a very nice
place.  The staff went out of their way to make a newbie to the area feel at home.

Thanks again ba.singles for this rec.

When I started work in Cupertino a couple of years ago, Steve Hand, a guy
from the group I had just left, asked me to say hi to Steve Head, who was
in the group I was going to. They used to work together. This started me
wondering which other parts of Steve's body worked somewhere in the
company. We found a Steve Arme, Steve Hart, Steve Foote, and (yes, I know
it's stretching it) Steve Ayers. There also was a Steve Bush, but we
couldn't find a Steve Dick or a Steve Butts in the directory.
