I’ve known lots of people who don’t like the taste of beer, even some that manage to drink a bit of it. I actually did like the taste of almost every form of alcohol, but taste was certainly not the primary reason I drank it.

I think I get the idea. Moxie sounds like Chinotto on steroids. I might like it. My idea of “bitter” is probably not the same as yours, since I like Guinness, and chocolate with 85% cocoa solids, both of which are considered very bitter by some people I know.

For the record, I used to like liqueurs about 30 years ago. Now I find them too sweet.

As for Moxie, immagine a not-quite root beer gone as bitter as possible (short of the Italian beverage, Beverly, of course. That stuff’s just torture.)

Best coffee I ever had was thie one time in Costa Rica. We were touring this coffee plantation, and they gave us samples of iced coffee at the beginning (and straight shots of coffee liquor at the end). It was the most DELICIOUS iced coffee EVER. It was their own home-grown and prapared beans, mixed with a dash of liquor and a hint of vanilla. The liquor after wasn’t bad either. As far as alcohol goes, I also enjoy Kahlua, Baileys, and Smirnoff. I’m not much of a drinker (still JUST underage in America) I only enjoy a drink a few times a year.

Shredded… one too many times in the mosh pit? Or are they not that kind of band?

Did Enron or Arthur Anderson or Ollie North get a hold of it, maybe?

Tastes change, too. I was about 24 before I liked the taste of beer. Still do, but I’m particular about brands & types. Unfortunately, I still can’t stand coffee, because so many people rave about Irish coffee. Irish whiskey is good in tea, though.
With soda, my favourites are root beer and cream soda. Maybe I better find out what moxie is and try some!

Apparently you fail to realize that the headline is a clever reference to the last cheap immitation engrish. I applaude Fiona for remembering it.

As far as furniture goes, there is no immediately detectable difference as far as quality goes, but take it home and use it for a while, and you WILL find out how Bob’s is able to set such low prices. Still, if you need a quick fix that looks nice and won;t be used too much, it CAN be good. I got an EXTREMELY comfortable rocking/reclining massage chair at Bob’s for $99. MASSAGE! I expect it to break within a year, but it will still be a nice year.

Is it weird of me not to like beer? I just can’t stand the taste. Actually, in pretty much every category of beverage (alcoholic, coffees, teas, etc.), I have extremely particular tastes. The only exception is soda. I’ll take ALMOST anything there, just no root beer, moxie, or cream soda.

Just kidding. I don’t fish anyway, but thanks for letting me know I’m not missing out on anything good.

Yes, someone mentioned this back when we were discussing the “Hare Davehong” Engrish logo. I don’t think you were around then.

This was a trademark for the group Blur in about 1994. I still have the original teeshirt that said BeeRok – it’s not new and it’s not a mistake, nor is it an attempt to buy counterfit reebok stuff – it’s a PLAY ON WORDS!!

When I was young and foolish, I thought that a fishing trip where nothing was caught was a waste of time. Eventually I learned that the primary purpose of fishing is to have an excuse to sit and do nothing, and if some fish happen to show up, that’s nice, too.

So they probably like Elvis!

And of course I would expect bees would like to listen to metal when they have a good buzz.

The White Stripes, I’m afraid, would be the wrong color for them, though. (No racial undertones intended!)

I think surely bees would be very fond of Sting.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:10:39 +0000

“Wild Honey Pie” also comes to my mind, although whether bees would be fond of Beatles is an interesting question.

Happy Division

I saw this bandana on sale at a “shop” that essentially consisted of a wooden crate and an umbrella on a railway bridge in Bombay. It had a picture of an eagle on a motorcycle, and the text was written in the style of Harley Davidson. Wish I’d had my camera then, or just bought the bandana!

No doubt it comes from perceptual skills honed by years of having to quickly find the nearest bar or liquor store in places unfamiliar to me!

I agree with Droll.. if this is a t-shirt it would be a requirement to wear each time i go out for drinks

If you make it, they will fake it.
If they fake it, someone will buy it.
Some people just see a price, they dont see a brand name, and they dont see a quality stamp.

I don’t consider myself a “sad person”. I would buy a product like that just for the weirdness, just like I’d buy any product because the packaging had Engrish on it.

By: moe

I should add that poor people have never experienced the difference that quality and good design can make to products like sports shoes, stereos, etc. So they’re often unaware of what’s lacking in the cheap knock-off.

By: moe

Perhaps I should have put “what’s the problem” in quotes in my previous post. I agree that the quality’s different! I just meant to say that many people don’t buy the genuine article, no matter how excellent the quality, because it literally costs what they earn in a month. So they just decide that a BeeRok t-shirt or Niko shoes are a pretty good deal for their budget, and go home feeling as pleased with their shopping as you or I might be after buying a better quality product. I’m speaking of India here – I don’t know about the consumer profile for bootleg products in other countries.
