All I remember is trying to eat a Hershey's Chocolate bar while suckin' down a Rainier (before the brewery closed) and it was NASTY!!!
Never again. Ever!

They closed the Rainier Brewery??? I grew up on Rainier when I lived in Kitsap county. I even ordered an imported Rainier in Vancouver BC. I think it was 8%.

One of my all time favorite commercials. They had some great ones in the day.

I closed out a 401k and bought a Prime Rib.

I feel your pain only reason we have one is the wife works at Safeway and when she combined all the discounts "Member" "Employee" and "Sale price it cost about a buck more a pound then 93% Hamburger does normally.

Maybe it wasn't the chocolate??

My Mother-in-law is visiting from Japan, so a traditional Japanese Chriatmas meal of fried chicken and a cake. Not KFC though. Hopefully Popeyes.

Never heard of karage as a "traditional meal" for Christmas, but yeah! Gotta have your happy christmas birthday cake!

Word of caution... KFC or Popeyes is NO substitue for karage. You'll just confirm her suspicions that Americans are all a bit "off".

I'm guessing you're a Coors kind of guy.

...and you'd be wrong (not that I'd pass one up, if that was the only choice).
For me, there's no wave like a Big Wave...


...Icehouse ain't too bad, either.

Yeah, back in the.....90's? IIRC.
The "Rainier" brand beer you get now is Miller.
Miller bought the rights to the name about 15-20 years ago.
Where in Kidnap county did you live?

Are you saying you don't like Rainier?

I have nothing to add to this discussion about beer, so,

Christmas, New Year, Easter, my Mom-in-Law always cooked a feast. She's now gone, so we must fend for ourselves. And my wife does not cook-anything. I cook the entire meals now. For Christmas, ham will be the main entree, but I always still cook a turkey breast or turkey roast, in addition, for the folks that didn't get enough turkey for Thanksgiving.

We used to have a house full. Now, just a table-full.

Sorry for the interruption. Now back to the topic

I once got Beer for Christmas.

I got a red and chrome bicycle one year.

KFC is actually the traditional Christmas meal, not karage chicken. Some genius at KFC Japan nailed it in te 70's. I just don't like KFC, so Popeyes it is. I rat karate pretty regularly, and it's no substitute for Popeyes...
