    Vasectomy

    Had it done. Mine did not go well (I fully realize I am in the minority on this). It was a terrible week for me. Not really much advice anyone can give, it either goes well or it doesn't. Good luck! (clean things up a bit first...that's about it)

    Your top 10 beers

    I'm on the west side of Des Moines... If we got like 5-10 of us, we might be able to get some pretty serious beer together! I had Julius this past weekend and I would say it was in my top 3 beers ever.

    Tourney Bet (for beer) Big 12 v ACC

    That's what I'm banking on. Although the top end strength of the ACC is hard to beat. We are all winners when good beer is involved!

    Tourney Bet (for beer) Big 12 v ACC

    My brother in law lives in Florida with good access to Cigar City and Funky Buddha. He wants to bet me the ACC does better in the Tourney then the Big 12. Points are like this: Round 2-1 point Round 3-2 points Round 4-3 points etc... Will I be sipping on some Jai Ali or am I sending some...

    Hopslam shipping to IA the week of January 26

    Holy smokes, I have exactly 489 distinct check ins myself. I need to figure out something really good for #500! I had Hopslam on tap last year in Michigan, was fantastic. Glad to see Iowa is getting some, I just hope it's not old. I think they already bottled it...?
