    In re beer and pizza. That's Mr. Cougar's theory, as well. He finally shared it with me after I made the mistake of pizza and wine one night on the road.

    As for wings and beer, I've found only two beers that nicely compliment a good order of wings - PBR or Harpoon's UFO.

    Worst beer of all time. Scratch that, Milwaukee's Special Reserve is worse, but IC is a close second.

    Beer goes great with pizza, and beer is a great drink. But if I had to choose one drink to live the rest of my life off of, it'd be bourbon.

    A bourbon and coke on a cool fall day at the (EDIT: horse) racetrack is all I need to make life seem perfect.

    If anyone is looking for Don Cherry's in Halifax, it's gone and replaced with Peel Pub.

    Cougargirl, I'm assuming you've seen "Blue Velvet." I share Dennis Hopper's view of Heineken, and I sucked down many a 75-cent PBR 16-ouncer at the college ghetto watering hole back in the day.
     
  11. PBR has got to be the nastiest schatt ever invented. Well, that and Milwaukee's Best.
