Yeah right. Try to tell the "typical german guy" when he can drink his beer and when he can't... :P

I don't think the typical Dutch guy will care either, but they probably only drink pils anyway :p

Another thing the typical dutch and the typical german guy have in common.

Pils is for all seasons though :p

YAY! :D

But no matter what type of beer it is, I still prefer wine.

Nah, I never liked wine. And sparkling wine is even worse. The only thing I could throw up from after only one gulp.

20%? Holy shit. Half a crate of those and you'll be smashed =/

I bought some for my friends. They told me it tastes like gnat's piss (I didn't driink any alcohol at that time so I don't know how awful it tasted, but I trust my friends on that ^^)

Gnat's piss?

That's what dict.leo.org told me. :(
The german phrase is "tastes like fallen asleep feet". ^^

It might be a good birthday present for some of my friends though. I'm sure they'll be interested in having a 20% beer, and if it tastes like horse piss than we can probably have a little fun with it.

I'd rather drink something that tastes good. We once had a "beer festival" on my birthday. We bought beer from all over the world (there's a special shop in Hamburg that sells all kind of beer). There where some really bad ones... especially Spitfire from the UK was awful. >_>

If anyone was racist, we'd deal with them. Pretty much the same thing here. ;)

Wow, in my opinion there's a huge difference between "being racist" and "being homophobic"

It's still just as hateful.

Maybe I just have a different interpretation of the word "homophobic". It only means someone is "afraid" of "love between the same sex", which doesn't necessariliy means he/she is hateful towards those persons.

If you're insulting someone for being gay, you're pretty much insulting Halford. That's why using gay as an insult is one of the dumbest things to say.

So, if Rob wasn't gay it would be OK as an insult? I must admit I don't quite follow your logic here.

If you're insulting gay people, you're also insulting Rob Halford, Freddie Mercury, etc.

And my uncle and my mom (that's right, my mom is a lesbian).
But I don't think I insult gay people by calling Manowar "gay". Yes sure, I'm using "gay" as an insult, but in german common speech it's very usual to use the word "schwul" (="gay") as a degorative term, without connecting it to homosexuality or gay men in general.
I'm not trying to justify the use of the word gay as an insult, I'm just trying to explain why I used it in the first place. ;)

I try not to bash Manowar as being/looking gay in the future.
But you must promise me not to post any more pictures of them. :P

Now that's an improvement for the both of us.

Another great day for the LUL!

I've bought a few albums that were worth at least £16.

Which ones?

Brocas Helm's Defender of the Crown (costed me £25!)

I hate to say it, but I never heard of them. :(
Do you plan to post a song of them on Metal Monday?

Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy

I never got into Helloween. Seven Keys is quite good, but they are just not my cup of tea.

Manilla Road's Mystification and Roadkill/Out of the Abyss

I heard of Manilla Road, but never listened to them.

Running WIld's Death or Glory

Heh, I never would pay that much for a Running Wild CD. I like their music, but as I've mentioned, they are basically just covering themselves since their first album.

Slough Feg's Down Among the Deadmen

Another band I haven't really checked out.

Those right there are my most expensive CD purchases. All of them are great albums and worth the purchases.

I payed more than 16 pounds for Iced Earth's Alive in Athens, but it's 3 CDs, so you propably won't get it for much less than 16 pounds.

But now you know why you shouldn't really go around using it as an insult. It's just not a good idea at all.

I really shouldn't say who's going to be on Metal Monday but I suppose this one is quite obvious if they are not only highly underrated but I spent £25 to get one of their albums. However, I can easily say who WON'T be on Metal Monday:

Iron Maiden and Metallica

Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy

I never got into Helloween. Seven Keys is quite good, but they are just not my cup of tea.

Keepers albums are their most popular albums so it doesn't surprise me if there are those who don't bother with their other albums. Shame, really since there's tons of great stuff from this band.

Manilla Road's Mystification and Roadkill/Out of the Abyss

I heard of Manilla Road, but never listened to them.

They're definitely one to check out. They don't have the most accessible sound production but once you can adapt to them, you're in for a treat. If you want to get into them the easy way, you should start with Crystal Logic since it has the cleanest sound production from them. Give Necropolis a listen and see what you think.

Running WIld's Death or Glory

Heh, I never would pay that much for a Running Wild CD. I like their music, but as I've mentioned, they are basically just covering themselves since their first album.

This album has Riding the Storm and The Battle of Waterloo. Those two were worth the £15 alone.

Slough Feg's Down Among the Deadmen

Another band I haven't really checked out.

Another band I highly recommend you check out. I think I showed you Warriors Dawn before but it didn't really click on for you.

Those right there are my most expensive CD purchases. All of them are great albums and worth the purchases.

I payed more than 16 pounds for Iced Earth's Alive in Athens, but it's 3 CDs, so you propably won't get it for much less than 16 pounds.

I could get Alive in Athens for £10. I suppose I can't argue with that.

Welp, OKC won. They get to move on to face the Spurs or the Grizzlies. I'm glad though that the Spurs were able to scrap out a win and stave off elimination. It would be so sad to see San Antonio bounced in the first round.

I think we could be shaping up for Lakers - Celts again this season.

Yeah, but for that one pitch, Nova would have earned a well deserved victory

Nice to see Colon having a good night yesterday.

Well if you are smoking it in view of an officer then yeah, I'm sure they can come and arrest you. So if you have your blinds open and they see it they can technically arrest you. Also, any amount you carry when driving is illegal except in California if you have a medical card.

Oh yeah, the drugs for medication thing :p

Obviously the laws are stricter are stricter in America than in Holland, but here I don't think you're exactly free to do what you like with drugs either (even though many foreigners seem to think so). You aren't allowed to carry more than a certain amount and when you're caught smoking pot out on the street or in some public place, it's likely that you will be searched and will be taken to the police station.

Probably. Catfish are probably a better choice if you plan on eating them when they die. Don't know if they taste better though.

Just use some Old Bay powder on them. :P

I don't like seafood all that much though. I found that about every thing that comes from the sea has this typical taste that you either like or you don't. I don't like it.

My gf said gnat's piss is indeed a proper expression. I don't know, in Holland we commonly say: "Tastes like horse piss" for terrible beer. "Creek water" for disgusting coffee :p

It might be a good birthday present for some of my friends though. I'm sure they'll be interested in having a 20% beer, and if it tastes like horse piss than we can probably have a little fun with it.

Spitfire? Sounds like something that's mixed with some peppers or something.

I never really had a beer that tasted godawful. Then again, I haven't tried out that many exotic beers. Also, about every beer that's brewed in Holland tastes about the same. They did a blind tasting test once with a lot of "beer experts" and beer brewers and they seriously had about every brand wrong. There was only one guy who recognized his own beer, the rest had it all wrong. They couldn't even taste the difference between an A-brand and some cheap ass C-brand from some supermarket.

Hmm, I thought it was a free for all when it comes to lesser drugs like pot. I'm sure that's what the Holland Tourism department states, heh. Sounds pretty much like California. If you have a card you can only have so much in a certain amount of time and if you abuse that then you get sent to jail.

I don't like seafood all that much though. I found that about every thing that comes from the sea has this typical taste that you either like or you don't. I don't like it.

Is the quality of the sea food in the North Sea poor? I know that some of the seafood in the Gulf of Mexico tends to be just a little below par compared to say the Atlantic Ocean.
