As did Sam Adams... :)


My gf had some people come to her restaurant and one of them asked what beers they have on draft - and they have Sam Adams. As soon as she mentioned it everyone groaned except for one guy....


Apparently that group of friends has some game they play where whenever one of them orders a Sam Adams they ALL have to. I thought it was funny because SA's boston lager is OK, but it's not amazing, and definitely not my beer of choice....so being forced to have one would be pretty entertaining IMO.

That's free.

Notice a common theme?

I'm actually off tonight and not working. I went out with some friends and I'm still stuck on night schedule (6pm-6am). So...you guys get to put up with me :)

I was amazed to find Shiner Bock on the beer list in Gillette WY a couple of years ago, and amazed my traveling companions by ordering one, when they knew, empirically, that I never drank anything but water or iced tea.

Wow you were busy.
BTW, How do you do a screen shot or whatever that's called? I've never figured out how.

P.S. Useless factoid..The average person spends 6 years of their life dreaming. :mrgreen:

Been there. Done that. Try being self-employed. There's been plenty of times I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep. When that happens, I come out to my desk and start posting.

1. Throw away your PC.
2. Buy a Mac.
3. You press and hold down "cmd" "shift" "4"
4. You drag your "target" cursor over the part of the screen you want to copy.
5. When you release the cursor, the computer automatically saves the part you copied as a timestamp named PNG file to your desktop — no special software needed.
6. If you want to copy and entire window, do steps 1 through 4, then hit the space bar, and the active window will be copied to your desktop as a timestamp named PNG file.

Don't hate the player. Hate the game. "rlol"

Thanks TAM. I'll fiddle around and see if I can do it.
I'm still somewhat new to these newfangled contraptions. :lol:

Seriously though, when I used to be a Windoze snob (XP home edition was my last version of it), it wasn't possible to get the snapshot from the clip board without first launching another app like Word or PhotoShop where you could paste the image and then save it as the appropriate file format. Plus, you could only snapshot the screen, not a selected portion of it, as I just did right after typing this (see attached image)....

I am well aware of this TAM. That is why I have a screen capture program. I was just trying to give you a bad time. :evil2:

You had to actually get a screen capture program? The capability isn't native to the Windoze operating system like it is to Mac OS? You poor child. :evil2:
