Ha, I know ayah will love this thread...
I can't resist... I'm biased, but they're adorable. Happy Thursday, from Bean and Loon.

Thread title had me fearing this was Part II of the Old Broads Who Look Great thread.

they're adorable Dana.

well, Loon is 10, so she's pretty damn old, and she's gone through cancer removal, so yeah, I'd say she looks pretty good for an old broad.

She has a mustache too.

She doesn't like to wax.

... said the swarthy stranger as he applied peanut butter to his turgid shaft.

Damnit Radcliffe, I nearly dropped my tea after reading this.

That's what you get for drinking tea, Nancy.

Oh geez, you're an idiot.

btw, Loon is a whore that way, and I'm sure she'd oblige. Bean, whom I suspect is gay, won't drink beer from a bottle.

second post today using the word swarthy.

babies!!! I love dogs more than people. Yours are adorable!

this is my pup, Champ. He lives in Seattle with his dad.


This is a dog picture that a friend showed me. I love it.

Champ's cute too! I hate that you had to give him up... damn, if I ever got a divorce, we'd have to find a way to keep the dogs together.
And yes, dogs are much nicer than most people.

Hey, on your WeightWatchers plan how many points do you get for nephew semen?

thread may start to deliver.

Whatever. Get it all out of your system.

as always, your pups are adorable dana!

this thread will give me motivation to finally take some new shots of molly and seamus.

Don't, then that idiot from Vancouver will post about me raping your dogs. Moron.

yeah, these were taken last night, while I lounged in my resin adirondack chair, drinking a Widmer Broken Halo IPA.

hey, what was the beer you were asking me about last week... if they sold at the store yet?

terminal gravity IPA

Even worse is that Champ belonged to my grandfather before he died. My grandma was going to give him away (jerk) and me and the ex took him in. I couldn't bear to see him go to another family (or worse) after being with my grandpa for six years.

And Champie would probably get along really well with Bean. We've suspected him of being gay for years now.

good will win over evil.
puppies are that strong of a force.

hey, we think seamus could be gay too. he has had this stuffed duck all of his 5 years that he sucks on every night. seriously. he sucks a duck. strangest thing ever.

but he will drink beer out of a bottle.

Terminal Gravity caps its brewing success
If you’ve always loved Wallowa County’s local microbrew, now you’ll be able to find it bottled, though it may take some searching. Terminal Gravity’s IPA (India Pale Ale) is a much-in-demand beer. The company ships to distributors in Eugene, Portland and La Grande, which are making the brewery’s most popular beer available to buyers outside the county. While the company has shipped kegs west for some time, the bottled brew is a new treat for TG fans.

Terminal Gravity started bottling on Nov. 20, and IPA has been rolling off the line since then, although with a few fits and starts in the beginning. Co-owner and general manager Steve Carper worked through a transition period.

“It (was) just the logistics of ramping up production, especially during construction,” he said. Construction at Terminal Gravity will continue through June, as the brewery plans to add four more buildings to house its recent acquisition — the facility workings of a larger brewery that went out of business in Crescent City, Calif.

Does he think bottling will work out for the company?

Anyone driving past Terminal Gravity has probably noticed the shiny tanks and complex machinery that appeared at the end of August and the cluster of new buildings that have appeared since. Once installed and running, the new facilities will jump the brewery’s output by a factor of 16, Carper estimated.

“The new line can run pretty hard. It could do 40,000 barrels per year. We did 2,400 this year,” he said.

The upgrade was an expensive investment, but Carper is confident of its wisdom. He stressed that Terminal Gravity has a history of never financing too heavily, or spending its gains on sales and marketing. “Too many (microbreweries) see the golden egg in their future,” he said. “That’s what happened in Crescent City.” Terminal Gravity is following a path of slow and steady improvement, not speculation, Carper explained.

In addition to providing its critically acclaimed beer, Terminal Gravity provides jobs. The company has become a significant employer in the county, with “about 15” employees at or near full-time this spring, Carper said. “And we’ll be looking to hire more as we ramp up,” he added.

Initially, there were no plans to bottle any of the Terminal Gravity brews other than IPA, so lovers of a quality stout, an ESG or any of the seasonal beers will still have a good reason to escape to the brewery.

To be honest, I don't remember seeing it in the local groceries here, but as you know, going into the beer section of any grocery store in Portland can be a daunting yet amazing experience. I'll check out New Seasons next time I'm there.
