Was out walking Rufus when I struck up a conversation with a guy fishing with his son. After a while he asks, "Do you want a beer?" I can't really see what he's offering, but he was offering so I decided to take him up on his offer. He hands me a Natural Light. "Natty Light," he says, "I've been drinking it since I was a teenager.

I opened the can (can? What adult drinks canned beer? But, I digress) and take a sniff: it smelled like the barracks. Cheap beer on a Saturday night.

I do not miss those days. So, I'm home and washing my mouth out with a fairly decent bourbon and watching Archer.

Beer stays colder, longer in a can if on ice. It's the only reason I can think to drink shitty beer.

With so many options, why choose the inferior drink? This never made sense to me. Yuck.

Someone paid for it.

Free to Jason. It was only polite.

For the record, I had three of them (he kept offering) and a shot of Jagermeister because he also had that and really wanted to share. He tried to offer me more of both but I declined.

Brand faith! Also the fact he probably knows exactly how many cans of Naty Light to get a buzz.

Curtis Edenfield Is "not nearly enough for me to continue?" a valid answer?? :)

Oh, aren't we doing phrasing anymore...my bad. Couldn't not use phrasing when someone mentions Archer. Surely someone responded with something for which it applies...it always applies.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
