    • I keep the can rack in my beer fridge filled with Hamm's. I can get a suitcase from Bubbles for about $10

    • Do they still make Hamm's? I don't even think I've seen that on the shelves in years...

      The guys from Monsters from the Surf, this goofy garage/surf band from Boston, sent me a 12-pack of National Bohemian about a year ago. "Natty Bo" as they called it. It was pretty good!

    • Boulevard In KC just came out with the Smokestack Series and boy are they tasty. My favorite is the Sixth Glass, a Belgium style Quadruple.

    • You just cant beat an icy cold schooner of VB, if no VB Coopers "green" Pale Ale. And don't mind a Guiness as well but VB is the beer.

    • You can't have good rock'n'roll without an ice cold frosty far away.

      So tell me fellow garagepunkers, whats your favourite local beer. Don't tell me Asahi unless you live in Tokyo, Steinlager is out unless you are a two headed Kiwi sheep shagger and all you Italians get to keep your Peroni's.

      To get the ball rolling, my two favourite Aussie brews are both from the state of Tasmania and are from the Boag's brewery - Boag's Strong Arm, once made at a lovely 5.7% alcohol, now just a mild 5%, but still a tasty, malty king of a beer.
      If I'm feeling a tad more classy a Casacade Premium lager will wet the old laughing gear. A crisp, dry honeyish drop that Mrs Yates and I will happily drink until the fridge is empty.

    • SPOILER ALERT!!

      One of my favorite books, was curious to see what this latest (third) adaption would be like.
      I think it's SO different I wonder why they even bothered acquiring rights to the book??
      Good film on its own, but if you are expecting it to be faithful to the original (which I wasn't) you will be disappointed.

    • Just read my first book by him, the brutal and funny A Feast Of Snakes, it blew me away, one of the best novels ever! I've got The Hawk Is Dying as well? Where do I go from here, Crews-wise?

    • I have. Although I'm a huge Warhol fan, I wouldn't suggest reading it. It literally is a dairy, and just explains what he did on a day to day basis. It's funny, as it's very Warhol, and very dry. Sometimes he just puts "took a cab ride $4" and that would be his entry for the day.

      It's one of those books that you can't read the whole way through, and I for one thought it would be much more interesting. There are some neat stories about him hanging out with celebs, but they are few and far between.

      I suggest, "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol". That's written by him as well, but far more interesting.

    • I am reading a biography about his demise and his estate, called "Death and Destruction". In this book, the author talks a lot about the "Andy Wahol Diaries", has anyone read this?

    • When I was a kid we had a black cat named Churchill. He got out all the time and we lived on a street that a lot of big trucks drove on so we had him neutered thinking he wouldn't want to get out anymore. He continued getting out and got hit by a truck. We buried him on a hill near our house.
      A couple months later Pet Semetary came out and the exact same thing happened in that movie. The only difference is our Churchill never came back as an evil feline zombie.

    • Well,if they were in Maine it would make it real easy for them to crawl on the bottom of the ocean to go to Egypt for their meetings.

    • My thoughts exactly....zombie cats come from the Micmac burial ground up there in Maine and are controlled by Fred Gwynne.

    • I need to watch it again,I will get back to you on that.

    • December 10, 2007 7:15 PM CST
    • Haven't you ever seen Pet Semetary?

    • December 1, 2007 5:37 PM CST
    • I agree

    • i had a lovely ginger and white cat and a while after he died i swear i once saw him out the corner of my eye walking along the kitchen floor, it was as clear as day, very strange, so, at least if they are or arnt zombies, im sure they become ghosts, lovely friendly ones.

    • I read the novel King Dork by Frank Portman not too long ago. It wasn't very good. It's a kids book. I think he only wrote it so 14 year olds would read about bands like The Ramones and Sweet. But much of the book is based on the main character's dislike of Catcher in the Rye and he makes similar points about Catcher being mediocre. I liked Catcher in the Rye when I was 16 but I didn't understand why they made us read it in school since it seems to go against everything school stands for. Maybe it's one of those things where it's just subversive enough to act as a "release valve" for disenfranchised youth but not so subversive that they actually go around formulating their own opinions or anything. Kind of like office workers and Dilbert comics.

    • I just read it for the first time. Maybe it's because I never read it as a disenfranchised teenager or something, but it's a pretty mediocre read. The
      protagonist seems like a rich little crybaby. Holden Caulfied is always made out to been this cool character by so many actors, writers, and the like. I think in real life, he would have been more like the fat rich kid who stole Pee-Wee's bike in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Sorrow outcasts, social retards, and the like, but that's I see it.
