I don't know how many times I'm going to have to explain to you guys that me and digital cameras, well, we are still working on the relationship. I'd change my avatar if I could find the cord that can get the pictures out of my camera onto the computer. That may take awhile.

If you can't find the cord, does your computer have a slot for the memory card to plug into directly? Then you can drag and drop, or copy and paste, directly from the card to the computer directly.

Well, today's FB result spoiled my plans for #4000 as I had simply planned on posting the score or just a few sound effects of the victory bell being rung on our side of the field. Damn. Damn. Damn. Guess I'll just resort to posting a new beer review here (just as CathyCA predicted) and transferring it to the Ymm, Beer later (or even duplicating it so I can get 2 posts out of it :roll: :D) .

Gamma Ray-Terrapin Brewing Company, Athens, Georgia-This is a member of their monster beer tour and is a wheat wine, a variation of a barleywine that I had never heard of/tried before. Three malts, two hop varieties, two different types/style of honey, an IBU of 40 and an ABV of 10.8%. Yellow-golden in color, clear and with a very small head despite a vigorous pour. This reminds me of a mead with its sweetness and smoothness from the honey but there is no grape juice/wine in this brew. There is a hint of citrus from the wheat malt and some lemon grass taste and aroma. The esters smell/taste a bit like banana, cloves, apple and pear. Not brutal at all like many barleywines. This is sneaky/seductive with its ABV as it is very easy drinking. I'd like this in a goblet for dessert or with a fresh fruit plate with apples and pears, or a fruit salad, for dessert. I think CB&B and 8-x got a bottle of this as a trader and I would love to read their thoughts. I think I have 1 left and will cellar this for a year. I hope :ymblushing: :D .

Respectfully submitted.

Professor. Wow. I am honored. ^:)^

BUT, I'd MUCH rather be 6-3 and 4-1 than being a prof :( :((.

OK, now back to your/my regularly planned/schedule PWing ;) :D

Although I predicted the beer review, I would have much rather read your post-victory celebration post.

CONGRATULATIONS on reaching 4000, Professor and Brother Devildeac! ^:)^ :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: ^:)^

Thanks. Attaining the level of Professor has meant two main things: 1. The salary level was doubled. 2. The d2*&%$ annual dues were doubled by the :swear: administration, too.
