Night of the funk

A little pricey, but given how much one can spend on a bottle of this stuff, it might be worth it to find out what ya like.

Photographer needed

I need a semi-pro photographer to take a couple headshots this week (starting 2/9). Need the photos basically overnight. Would be willing to pay in beer, or cash money if the price is right. Know anybody?

How many beers would you guesstimate you've consumed?

I feel pretty good with my guess of 13,000.

That is to say, I feel pretty good, i.e. confident, not like I feel pretty good health-wise.
