A&W bottles their root beer in a plastic bottle which has been designed to look like a glass bottle... which itself has been designed to look like a wooden barrel! As you can see, their aluminum cans also have the wooden barrel facade.

At White Turkey near Computer Camp, they have a humungous wooden barrel which customers are to believe contains root beer, which you can see in a few of the pictures on their super cool slide show. But, guess what! It doesn't! It contains a relatively tiny root beer syrup bin and I'm guessing a plastic line to their carbonated water supply.

There seems to be a wooden barrel root beer conspiracy! Where can I find root beer that is actually inside a wooden barrel? If the wooden barrel was so important as A&W and RICHardson (White Turkey's root beer supplier) want us to believe, then why not just sell it in REAL wooden barrels? I know! Because the wood doesn't actually matter and it's much cheaper to manufacture non-wooden containers! A&W, quit the crap and slap an A&W logo on a generic plastic bottle!

1. My car (1997 Maxima) wouldn't shift; took in for repair; would cost $4000 to fix rusted-through core support; Got new 2008 Honda Fit.
2. Got new computer, Mac Pro, with insurance money from my PowerBook being stolen (jerks).
3. Had a super fun time at computer camp, as always.
4. Scuzzy had cancerous bump removed and was diagnosed and treated for Addison's Disease.
5. Katie and Charlie visited, we had a great time at Zoombezi Bay. If interested, please ask about Pickle Soup.
6. Had my car smashed by some drunk people; Insurance company considers it a collision: won't pay; Police don't consider it a collision: won't investigate.

So since the last post, I had a fun time in Chicago at the end of December, got burglarized in January, and my CPU or Motherboard died in February.

Also, Team Fortress 2 came out, I played it a bunch, and while installing snapped this shot:

Where are they getting these fifth graders? I went to one of Ohio's best school districts (according to Ohio, not me) and they didn't teach the things they claim these fifth graders knew.

• Bavaria is a state in what European country?
• What is the name of the first first-lady?
• Of the following, which is a blood vessel in the human body? Tibia, capillaries, cilia.
• (First grade spelling) how do you spell nervous? (Example first grade spelling words)
• What is the official language of Australia?
• How many demonstrative adjectives are in the following sentence? That scruffy dog with the short tail chased the multi colored cat through the tree.

I call bullshit.
