Hi All!

I'm desparately in need of the world's worst beer (there's probably a web
site devoted to it, but www.worldsWorstBeer.com doesn't exist. (comes up
with : We can't find "www.worldsWorstBeer.com".)

Basically, after 3 hours of squash I lost 19 games to zero - to my
accountant...

Consequently life has no meaning. Thus I need to get a crate of LuteFisk
(Thorsten assures me it does indeed taste worse than warm doggie turd), a
carton of the worst beer imaginable, drink and eat both at the top of a tall
cliff, slash both wrists and then hurl myself over whilst singing something
probably from an opera. I feel in the mood to test the old adage "only the
good die young"...

<sigh> an *accountant* of all people... suppose it could have been worst -
a politician...

I'll post a message from the other side.
(Knowing my luck there'll be a queue)
Geoff.

Might be a deadlock.. :-)

On the other hand, it might be considered tactical to loose to the
accountant.. <beg>

Take care,

<bg> - she loves Vanilla Code now - it has replaced her previous best drink
(Creaming Soda) as the beverage of choice every Sat afternoon.

You don't need beer - in fact the worst beverage I've ever tried is Vanilla
Coke - YUUUUUCK!!!

A contender might be Huber, which as best I could figure was
manufactured in the northern region of Illinois (US) somewhere. We
used to drink this in my college days as a money making exercise - buy
a case of Huber on sale, drink it, return the empties for more than
you paid for the case in the first place. I admit the possibility that
my math skills were impaired, though certainly no more than my liver
was.


But hands down, the winner for worst beer I've ever had was Thomas
Hardy's Ale. Comes in small half-size bottles, and even so two grown
men (my father-in-law and I) accustomed to occasionally unpleasant
culinary experiences couldn't manage to finish a single bottle.

The makers put great stock in the fact that their beer is bottled with
the yeast, allowing for it to gain personality over time. A splendid
idea, perhaps, if only their source of yeast weren't cottage cheese
left to sit in the sun too long. By appearances alone, this is a beer
that looks like it would be far more at home in your oil pan than in a
glass. But perhaps I'm being too hard on waste oil products. Certainly
they must taste better.

Some discussion of Thomas Hardy's Ale can be found at this web site,
which convinces me beyond any shadow of a doubt that people will do
all manner of stupid things to impress their peers.

We've only just got VC. Some weeks ago, at Sat arvo squash, I was doing my
usual "play a couple of games then drink a beer" routine. After about an
hour, my daughter excitedly brought up a 'yummie' drink which she demanded I
try.

I defy anyone to drink XXXX (OK, Paul, I do concede it *is* bitter), then
Vanilla Coke, and then not retch...

Oh, and ta to everyone for the replies... but I'm still smarting from that
hammering the mongrel gave me... <sigh> I'm devastated - I may never drink
nor play squash again...

Hey - those were the words to the promo song - "I can feel a XXXX coming
on"....

Hey! My daughter likes Vanilla Coke too!

I reckon it tastes like creamy soda - which I don't especially like

> I defy anyone to drink XXXX

Yeah - so do I

ok - this is intriguing - I'll see if I can get one next time I'm over
there!
