      I like my fancy beer as much as any beer snob. I really like NB’s “Mighty Arrow” and “2 Below” but, of course, the Fat Tire kicks butt also. My all-time fav is Rogue’s “Dead Guy Ale.” However, sometimes there’s nothing better than a good old-fashioned, mass-produced domestic especially when it comes to drinking fast and furious. But, I do have a pair, so I drink Bud or Coors Banquet when it comes to that.

      Just having some fun with you, Mr. Senator. Have a blast and bring us home a W!

    Flew that area with an friend involved in a dolphin count program. You would be surprised at the number of sharks and how close they are to shore. Always weirded me out afterwards if I spent anytime in the water.

      Shark Week pretty much cured me of any notions I had that there were not sharks between “me and that sandbar out there.”

        Just make sure you swim with at least one other person. That first person cuts your odds of being attacked greatly. 🙂

        I say that as a surfer that occasionally still gets weired out.

        I took a boat ride from PC to Cape San Blas with some friends last summer. One of the guys jumped overboard to cool off when we stopped. Off the tip of the cape is the best shark fishing area in north Florida. When we told the swimmer that he would make better bait if he splashed around a little he was back in the boat like he had been shot out of a cannon.

      The new Southwest Bypass makes me wonder if there’s a shortcut thru Silver Creek from Hwy 27 to Hwy 101…if so would cut my travel time to Jax by 10 minutes. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about your handle might be referring to a different Silver Creek.)

          Absolutely and there’s nothing wrong at all with throwing in a Georgia-Florida game after a little beach, beer and golf. I think the pic above shows that to be the case. Why punish the fans just because our coaches haven’t quite figured out yet how to win with regularity in Jax? I have accepted no money from the Chambers of Commerce in Duval County for the above ad but it’s not because I haven’t tried.

    Bunch of pansy beer drinkers on here. Not sure I’ve ever seen someone throw back ten plus fat tires or any of the other fancy beers – not that those beers aren’t good. I do know some folks that think a 12 pack of Bud Light or Corona per person is not enough beer for the day – from experience with them, they are right.

      I go camping with guys who bring one CASE per night and still run out. Yes, I’ve been with them on four night trips when they brought four cases per person with them and still ran to the store on the fourth afternoon.

      I usually budget six per night and bring beer home. I’m not in their league…

I still remember the time I was using a urinal at the GA Dome before some UGA game there years ago when someone made a comment about the amount of time I had been at the urinal after an afternoon spent outside at the dome. Another guy heard it and said, “He’s a Dawg, they’re professionals.”
