but no really you can wash clothes fine without detergent. I only do this when I'm at school and have to buy it myself.
So you wash with no detergent, then pile the "clean" clothes on your bed, where you sleep on them until you wear them? Hmm. I think you've got this laundry business down, dyl.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I do remember hearing/reading once that we have so much detergent built up on our clothes that you can go something like 5 wash cycles before it's all rinsed. I think you could wash and wear a few times without needing to add detergent.
I mean, I wouldnt but I also wash all of my clothes before wearing them and am generally grossed out about trying on clothes in the store.

I read , where they are working on fibers that have solar collectors in them. They would in-turn recharge the devices we are carrying at the time, when we walk in the sun. I'm thinking you would really need to wash those clothes the correct way .... Washers can be fun if they are off kilter btw ... cr****

This is the reason I'll pay extra for the Cheer scent free stuff; it's thinner and not perfumed. The perfumes stick to all my clothing making it an itchy mess because it takes two good rinses to get soap out. It also makes me break out like all hell; the soap they sell us is overkill.

folding clothes is for the weak
Im a pile person. My dresser sits empty and around my room are piles of: Clean, Clean enough, Get outta my work clothes and reach for this pile ASAP, and needs laundry.
I don't drink Sam Adams unless it's the best option available. When I drink cheap at bars, my go to is Sierra Nevada. Yuengling is not terrible though. I am a home brewer though, so I definitely favor micro-brews if I'm buying beers. And Lagers are stupid except when it's hot as balls, you just want a lawn-mower beer, and you can't get your hands on a Kölsch.
Sam Adams is my fall back option as well. It's good, but it's pretty common just about everywhere nowadays. If there's not much better, it's there. I buy a sixer or two of Octoberfest every year, but that's about it if I'm not at a bar.
And I'm loving the warmer weather, brings on the Kolsch season.
You clearly take this topic far more seriously than I do.
This subject is a passion of mine. We have been battling senators and other state representatives in Alabama for many years to get good beer in this state. Home-brewing was just made legal this year here (it was the last state in the union that it was still illegal). Last year we finally passed the bottle bill that increased the limit of bottle sizes from 16oz to 750 mL. In 2011, we finally passed a bill that allowed breweries to actually open a business in this state in new locations as opposed of ones that only existed before prohibition. In 2009 we passed ABV limit law that raised the ABV limit from 6% to 13.9% (we couldn't raise it further than that because of most of our representatives are bat-shiz crazy right-wing christians that would have never agreed to allowing a 14+% ABV beer with the word devil in it or something like that.) We still have more prohibition restrictions to pass and most of these were held in place so long after prohibition because companies like Anheuser-Busch were donating more money to these cheesedik senators than our Free The Hops group could. It took nearly a decade of bribing these greedy doofuses to even introduce that first bill ABV in 2008 into a discussion. Although it wasn't until it was brought up again in 2009 that we got enough votes for it.
Do you get the Beer Advocate magazine? I read from the April or May issue about brewing in the South - about how homebrewing was (until recently) illegal in Alabama, states left and right raising ABVs to allow stuff to come into the state, Tennessee's insane beer taxes. You'd think with a big craft beer boom it would provide a good outlet for small businesses to develop. Or at least trying to catch up with North Carolina, which landed pretty much everything that's expanding from out west (Sierra Nevada, New Belgium, and I think there's one more too.)
But then again most of your legislators down there are crooks and warm bodies to submit ALEC written legislation.
I'm lucky I live (right near) Massachusetts - a small state with over 70 breweries and pretty low beer regulations. A new nanobrewery opened up the next town over from me, just across the state line. If they served more than just by growler fill, this could be trouble.
If you want to drink American owned mass-produced lager, drink Yuengling.
Agreed. For the mass produced stuff, not much better than Yuengling. Narragansett and PBR are one tier down. Then it's a long way down to the rest.
I would like to jump in and say to it's credit.. PBR lasts much longer and is actually drinkable when lukewarm. Yvengling does not last well in a can from multiple Roo experiences

Yuengling is quality, has always held up over the weekend for me. When you can walk into a bar, only ask for a lager, and receive an ice-cold Yuengling -- you're in the right place.
But some of the domestic mega-beers like Bud Heavy, High Life and ring-ring are all perfectly acceptable and you people are kidding yourselves to say otherwise.
I wasn't wanting to acknowledge this conversation that's been going on. All I'm saying is, I don't understand people who pass up free alcohol..
I never cared much for getting drunk, I drink because I like good tasting beers. I do get a good buzz on once in a blue moon, but what I typically drink in a week is what Dylan has on a light day.
The last time I had six or more beers in a day this year was my last night in San Antonio, two months ago. Before that: last summer during the Newport Folk/Quack Club weekend or at Forecastle.
I will say no to Bud Light and Coors Light because they're both gross, ditto Heineken. If it's free, I still wouldn't want that. On a plane I'll drink water before a Heineken or a Miller Lite. It's not about the alcohol to me, I tend to prefer lower ABV beers anyway (that aren't watered down piss.)
I live in GA and although I think we started allowing high gravity beers before you folks did, we couldn't buy alcohol on Sundays until last year because....well no one could explain why without invoking a certain religious conviction.
In CT, you couldn't buy alcohol on Sundays until last year. But it was mostly for business reasons, not (any time recently) for religious reasons. The state laws are designed so most liquor retail sales is done by small independent businesses, not chain grocery stores or gas stations. As a result, many of them just wanted the day off more than any other reason. Then the state saw business fleeing out of state for Sunday sales, and wanted that money back for itself.
This is also why I am a beer snob. and fully enjoy my BluePoint, River Horse, Magic Hat, and small brewery selections. I literally pay 2 or 3 dollars (a six pack) more for much better beer. (Sam Adams is my if I'm at dinner and there is no other choice selection)
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I'd pay more for CT/MA/RI beers which is much better tasting and locally owned and run.
Magic Hat however, they got bought a few times now and are owned by some Costa Rican company. The new management got called out several times by West Sixth Brewery of Kentucky on Facebook - in response to West Sixth's logo supposedly being ripped off of Magic Hat #9's logo.
Sometimes it's hard to know what's actually craft and independently owned, and what's part of a conglomerate. Blue Moon, Third Shift, Batch 19, and Killian's are made by MillerCoors - none of which are well advertised as such. Shock Top is made by Budweiser.

In my mind, better the can than a bottle. Those green glass bottles lead many a beer to easy skunking. A lot of the warehouse style stores I been to in NY and PA, I have no idea how long the stuff has been sitting there.

It's my usual choice if I get the chance, but the truth is: once it gets warm, the bottom gets gross and foamy. If you aren't sitting on it - you are completely right. I guess I'm taking this one more on a "at Bonnaroo" scenario
Turn water on, add detergent (liquid), let water run until soapy, add clothes. Though I have been known to mess up a couple shirts in the laundry, so my way may be awful.
Hmmm... Doing laundry while drinking beer. Nice idea.
We don't use it because we're boring but we have a bar in town that has a laundromat in the back and a bar in the front

I feel like I would start a load of clothes, get drunk and then completely forget them. there are days I can't remember to put the clothes in the dryer when I'm sober!
So last month, inforoo was suddenly blocked at work (which has drastically cut down on my time here to almost not at all), but today, I clicked the bookmark out of habit, and it worked!!!
