The disembodied ping pong paddle represents China swatting away the rest of the free world, especially the imperialist running dogs. The chick with the pixelated face is showing the futility of trying to be analog in a digital age. The elephants are on their way to the watering hole to sleep off all the banana beer they drank.

I don't like the "tramp stamp", or dozens and dozens of tats on a person. But 1 or 2 tasteful works of art are OK. I have a single small tattoo, not normally visible.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:27pm Charlie:

which cheek, simon?
hi duke.
i've got a devil's haircut, brian.
The advantage of having a nothing tattoo is you can have it in a different place whenever you want it, Katya.

When hipster-flipster me showed up in New York in '83 and saw that (male) cops and wall street traders were sporting earrings, I knew it was time to stop wearing mine.
Avatar 12:31pm still b/p:

I went in the kitchen where local radio was still on and "Paper Roses" was playing. I didn't catch enough to know if it was the Anita Bryant or Marie Osmond version, and not knowing has left me unsettled and edgy.
But this Tipsy is just the thing for it.

Oh, I didn't know there was a debate. Yes, I have seven tattoos. (I had to count them. I often forget.) Only one, so far, is related to cheese.

So the cheese stands alone?

alcohol can also lead to tattoos

The Laughing Cow label is pretty cute.

Please tell me you'll keep the British spelling with the 's' on the cheese label. Makes a wheel of difference.

Wendy, that article I mentioned from my Mazda magazine talks about a slew of Vermont cheesemakers. I have it right here.

Still b/p, I wouldn't dream of changing the label. That would defeat the purpose!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:14pm Wendy del Formaggio:

Uncle Michael, which cheesemakers? I hope it's not all about VT Butter & Cheese, or VT Creamery, or whatever they're calling themselves these days. They get enough press.

Michael, I like Rogue cheese. And I like your Sluggo picture!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:43pm Uncle Michael:

I like Spanish cheeses but I don't know anything about regions. I have to find out if anything good comes from the southern coastal area when I'm there.

Guinness chocolate cupcakes are sold at a small market nearby. Always tempting. Maybe with a scoop of good vanilla..ummmaumm.
  1:46pm earrie:

Coffee porter is good. So's chocolate porter.
Or maybe it was a stout?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:47pm Charlie:

Hi Ike and Rich.
Sorry if I've missed this, but has anyone ever tried a beer float?
Avatar 1:49pm Snortley:

Imperial chocolate stout with coffee ice cream is supposed to be good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:51pm pacific standard simon:

@Snortley - that does sound good, under the right circumstances...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:51pm Uncle Michael:

No one wants to hear this because it's the big, corporate colossus but I've yet to taste any craft stout that was as remotely pleasurable to drink as Guinness.
  1:52pm earrie:

Beer float would probably be good to try with those summer berry beers (blueberry, raspberry).

I find sweet + beer a challenging taste.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52pm pacific standard simon:

Well, they've had a lot of time to perfect their product.
Avatar 1:53pm Snortley:

I'll take a Smuttynose porter or Lion stout over a Guinness any day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Uncle Michael:

Does anyone know why some Friendship Society members appear in one color and others in another?
  1:54pm earrie:

Or porter or stout + a not-so-sweet icecream?

I'll keep an eye out for those, Snortley.
