I sue don't recal it. Or, I immediately drove it from my mine. Yeah, that's probably it. Needs a LOT of editing, things need correcting, added, modified, etc. Needs a LOT of input from outside the U.S. too. So, in no alphabetical order.

You show Norm, but you left out Roy and Bob. Which is reason enough to believe this list is totally phone. Remember Nor and Roy, good. Bob, evil.

HD - Home Depot, Home Desperate, to be avoided.

ACE - American hardware store

WAG - Wild ass guess.

SWMBO - She Who Must Be Obedient

APBW - news:alt.binaries.pictures.weapons

Archives - also rec.woodworking archives - this is where you go to look up questions that have been beaten to death dozens of times already. Read here and you wan't need to ask so many dumb questions, just a few -

- Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off

WTF - Another polite way of asking, What kind of a dumb ass thing/question is that?

PC - Politically correct

I've got a better idea. Just post the link to the archives everyonce in awhile, and let people look this thread up and read it.

JOAT What is life without challenge and a constant stream of new humiliations?

TROLL - Fishing.

TROLL - Sad, dorky, little dipsticks (a uphonism), with no social life, therefore no girlfriends, often found with hair on he palm of their hand. Beng as they are such unhappy and miserable indivduals they try to make life miserable for others as well. Usually early teens, but if older have an eary teen mentality.

If you need to list these common items for folks who do NOT know these things, you should probably include some emoticons as well. After all, a proper understanding (and use) of emoticons can prevent some flame wars.

Maybe we need some kinda nerd version of Smoky Bear. (Only you can prevent flame wars)

[Dave Balderstone]

Bug spit = shellac

[RayV]

Also Coors Light

[Andy Dingley]

Orange is nice because it also translates the acronym to "B&Q" in the UK.

[Robatoy]

Didn't I read in here that somebody died drinking shellac? Supposedly, it was quite a finish.

[Leon]

Yeah, that's like

HEY! MF, Hey! My Friend. ;~)

[LRod]

Isn't that redundant?

[Robatoy]

LOL...but try to think of Coors Heavy. Nummienums...all that flavour!

*rubbing my tummy and drooling in anticipation!*

Is this Friday?

[LRod]

Nummienums? Please. I recall the days when I was living in Illinois (where we had to put up with Stroh's and Falstaff) and Coors was legendary there. It was never sold east of the Mississippi in those days, and I guess that must have made it seem mystical. However, when I made my first trip to Denver and tried one out I thought, "what the hell is the fuss about? This is like flavored water."

Once it eventually became available east of the river, I tried it again with the same result. There is no Coors heavy. There's Coors (translate to "Coors Lite") and then there's Coors Lite, which as I say, is redundant. They could have perfectly described their tasteless, body-less "light" offering just by saying Coors.

Yes.

[Swingman]

Yabbut, you just never had to drink Pearl, or else! ;)

Brings to mind an old post:

[Robatoy]

Is there an emoticon for tongue-in-cheek?

Imagine if there was. Then you'd have a concentrated version of flavoured water. Extra boredom.

[Lew Hodgett]

Coors, the product of a malcontented horse.

Ranks right up there with Falstaff, Pearl, Milwaukee's Best, and probably at least a 100 others.

Don't forget Rhinelander -- worst beer _by_far_ that I have ever tasted.

I had the identical experience. IMO Coors beer is just another example of an inferior product made popular by skillful marketing.

[Robatoy]

What is amazing, is how much your average consumer forgets when they taste something 'without' a label. Case in point was that my mentor at the National Research Council was an avid scotch drinker. As this was well known amongst his followers, he ended up with a collection of scotches second to none. A cellar full. I don't think he was ever stumped when asked if he had a certain brand. One night, as guests at his house, my crew and I were challenged to a double blind taste test. His wife, who would serve us, had no clue what we were trying either. She served up 8 glasses with coded numbers taped onto them, and all of us went from glass to glass, making notes as we went along. They were clearly very different, from pale to almost cognac-like. We all agreed on the worst (IIRC, it was Vat 69) and almost all of us preferred the same one...I distinctly remember it was Bells. Chivas, Livit, and a few other high-end ones rated average. Granted, none of my guys, or me, were experts.

ABC news recently did a similar test with vodka.

you don't know what it is... many pre-conceived ideas go right out the window. BUT... there is no way in hell that Coors would get past me. Or Bud.

I have been told, that if you drink enough Coors, you end up goos- stepping as you walk. (Must be the Adolph ingredient?)

r----> who is off to the pub for an Erdinger.

[LRod]

Hamms did it for me.

[Swingman]

Give me a pinot noir over a beer any day ... any vintage that you can dunk a Bluebell sugar free popsicle in will do just fine, right Leon?. ;)
