Don't get me wrong, I do agree that Toho has a legitimate case. I just think that it's somewhat silly of them to pursue it, unless of course they were thinking of marketing the name for some sort of beverage themselves. Possibly they want to keep that option open. It is, after all, their name. Hey,...

So many lakes, so little gas...

I'd like to some day. I've heard it's a great lake.

Nice. I waited too long to pick mine again. Biggest crop yet (probably about 10 lbs wet, 2 ounces dry), but they were full of spider mites. Again. Next year I have to get my fat ass out a little earlier.

The name is a nostalgia thing for us old farts who grew up watching those films. What on Earth is the harm? If anything it might inspire interest in a dead enterprise...

I made an India Red Ale earlier this year. Thought I was being original. Sigh. It was good though, one of my favorites. I haven't seen this one from Sierra, but will be sure to try it when I do. Thanks for the heads up.

My wife would tell you I ferment wherever I happen to be sitting. The beer has options, depending on ambient temperature. Sometimes in a fridge with controller if there's room. Sometimes in a tub with water to keep it cool and stable. Sometimes in the office. One that was stuck lived near the firepl...

Our cat has epic hairballs.

From one newbie (HAH) to another, welcome.

That explains it. I was looking at the "my posts" category. They must have just deleted my contribution since I gave the link to Louie's joint.

Welcome. Looks like MB is starting to get touchy about this place. They deleted your thread where I mentioned it.
