I got a harsh lecture from the 10 or so people right around me.
I said sorry, and asked what they called that particular drink in ireland.
The response was a simple "carbomb"

live and learn

this made me laugh out loud

mostly because i probably would have done something just as stupid…so thanks for letting your ignorance be a lesson :)

How does the title of this thread have anything do with anything written in the thread? Evn the original post?

Because obviously a long haired, buck-toothed, whiny-voiced brit represents all that is man!!!!

Quitting a RAWK band because you can't take the rock and roll lifestyle is a pretty pussy move if you ask me… And those Death Cab guys continue on.

Removing yourself from bad temptations actually sounds like a pretty smart idea to me.

Case closed!

I call it a Depth Charge now also. But only because of the Bulgarians I knew in Seattle called it that.

i once ordered a carbomb at a bar called murphys in old town alexandria and the dude told me that "it is against the law" (or something of that nature) to call it that. rather he called it something else, though i cant remember what, but i think it was "whiskey and guinness".

maybe kosmo is on to something-

Testosterone Tumbling in American Males 1 hour, 48 minutes ago

FRIDAY, Oct. 27 (HealthDay News) – The testosterone-fueled American male may be losing his punch.

Over the past two decades, levels of the sex hormone in U.S. men have been falling steadily, a new study finds.

For example, average total testosterone levels in men aged 65 to 69 fell from 503 nanograms/decileter (ng/dL) in 1988 to 423 ng/dL in 2003.

The reasons for this trend are unclear, said researchers at the New England Research Institutes in Waterdown, Mass. They noted that neither aging nor certain other health factors, such as smoking or obesity, can fully explain the decline.

"Male serum testosterone levels appear to vary by generation, even after age is taken into account," study lead author Thomas G. Travison said in a prepared statement.

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and plays an important role in maintaining bone and muscle mass. Low testosterone levels have been linked to health problems, including lowered libido and diabetes.

It's normal for men's testosterone levels to peak in their late 20s and then start to gradually decline, experts say. But this study found that overall testosterone levels are lower than they were 20 years ago.

"In 1988, men who were 50 years and older had higher serum testosterone concentrations than did comparable 50-year-old men in 1996. This suggests that some factor other than age may be contributing to the observed declines in testosterone over time," Travison said.

He and his colleagues analyzed blood samples – along with health and other information – from about 1,500 men in the greater Boston area who took part in the Massachusetts Male Aging Study. That study collected data in 1987-89, 1995-97, and 2002-04.

"This analysis deals with men who were born between 1915 and 1945, but our baseline data were not obtained until the late 1980s, when the elder subjects were about 70 years old, and the youngest about 45," Travison said.

"Events occurring in earlier decades could certainly help explain our results, if their effects persisted into recent years," he noted.

The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

I like how according to Kosmo "not killing yourself doing hard drugs" is "pussification." Sorry we can't all be as rough and tumble as the resident 9:30 Club Moderator/DJ du jour.

Odd that it isn't "against the law" or even "insensitive" to order a Black 'n Tan, unless of course you're Ben and Jerry's, then isn't it?

A depth charge is light beer with a shot of amaretto in it.

How'd you dig up this thread?

I hadn't posted in a while and was going through old posts, boredom mostly.

I see.

Yeah I know I am late on the Strongbow bit of this thread but had to chime in, The Big Hunt on Connecticut Ave. has it on tap, and you can buy it in bottles at Harris Teeter on Glebe Road in Arlington.
