Why not use that space between your ears for something more than just a
wax storage facility???
With your absence, I really enjoyed the reduction of noise level here
at ARBR, but you just had to go and ruin it for everyone be returning
didn't you??? We now return you to your regularly scheduled newsgroup
drivel from the mypoic visionary and quintessential TROLL ... head
swollen ... Ed Dolan.
As usual .... I mean what do you expect???? Opinion stated as fact
from the man wh does it best. Now for the FACTS. Ed, enough of your
pretentious, self-referential appeal to status, already. Beer was
known to be staple in the ancient civilization of Egypt. Now, word has
is that the Egypt was an advanced and revered civilization. Now if one
were to subscribe to your inane contention, then one would have to
conclude that beer consumption in ancient Egypt would qualify the
Egyptians as barbarians. Many would disagree and I count myself am
among them. Over the ages, wine was consumed by many a barbarian and
you should count yourself among them. As is often the case, you are
once again running your mouth when you don't know what the hell you're
talking about ... oh GRATE one.
