Is it time to bring back “freedom fries” as a show of support for the British against Chirac’s statements? Because that’s much better than eating kidney pie or drinking warm beer.

Now what kind of comment is that? There were no refrigerators when beer was first invented: it follows then that beer’s natural state is warm!
On another note, it might appear at first glance that Mr. Chirac may be suffering delusions of grandeur, but really, somtimes hope is all you’ve got…

Certainly they had ice with which to cool said warm beer when it was first invented, so whilst I submit warm may be beer’s natural state, it certainly isn’t the most appealing.

Beer should be cold. It’s the American way and everyone knows our way is best. Although I do recall drinking a beer recently that seemed to taste better as it got warmer. Then again, maybe it just tasted better because the alcohol had numbed my taste buds. I can’t remember what kind of beer I was drinking, so this will remain a mystery.

You can’t remember what kind of beer you were drinking? What was it, your 4th beer?

No, it was not my fourth beer. I think it was my second. I wasn’t fond enough of the beer to make an effort to remember what kind it was, and I was drinking it at my friend D’s, who rarely serves you the same beer twice, mostly has imports, and the only beer I’ve ever had over there that I’d heard of before was a Fat Tire I helped myself to one day when I wasn’t feeling very adventurous. Thus, I don’t recall what kind of beer I was drinking.
