1) I got a spam telling me I should come get my money. The sender was "Aztec Riches". I've seen "Pirates of the Caribbean". I know that taking Aztec treasure gets a curse put on you, oh yes.  2) I was a store and came across a kind of fermented beverage new to me: "Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout" from the North Coast Brewing Company, Fort Bragg, California. There's a picture of the personage named on the label. 3) A friend sent me this link: http://www.amyhughes.org/lego/church/photos001.htmlAmazing what you can do with bits of plastic. Ebor |

One drink and you have a hypnotising stare?  I was amazed by the Lego church, but I like it too, Nacho. It shows some real creativity and definitely sticking to things and not giving up. Ebor |

"Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout" from the North Coast Brewing Company, Fort Bragg, California. There's a picture of the personage named on the label.
Did the label have a warning about four hour erections? |

I was just telling some people at my Church about that fine brew a few days ago, ironically enough. There was a restaurant in San Diego I used to eat at frequently...I don't remember the name for the life of me, but it had a 'Gold Rush' theme that served it. Goes great with ribs. |

2) I was a store and came across a kind of fermented beverage new to me:
"Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout" from the North Coast Brewing Company, Fort Bragg, California. There's a picture of the personage named on the label. Somebody gave me a bottle of this about 7 years ago - I remember it was pretty good. I saved the bottle and it's now on my desk at work. (My workplace is blessedly un-corporate. I bicycle to work - 12.5 miles one-way - a few times a week in T-shirt and shorts, no prob.) Nice B/W pic of Grigorij Efimovich (drawing copied from photo) - one can see why people think he was a monk (he wasn't, and wasn't a priest or any other kind of cleric either) because he's holding his right hand up almost like a priest giving a blessing. On the bottom of the label it says in Russian, '-ÃÂÂ-¦-Ç-¦-¦-ç-+-ï-¦ -¦-Ç-â-¦ -+-¦ -Ç-+-¦-+-é-ü-Ã… -¦-¦-Ç-â-¦', which I think literally means 'A friend of the heart isn't born suddenly', which I reckon is either not-quite-proper or idiomatic for 'Good friends aren't made quickly'. |
