So the poll results are in. It appears we have a split decision in the crowd regarding Stella and whether or not it tastes like shit. I say split decision because the extra yes vote is mine, since you were able to choose more than one answer, I selected yes twice. I just trying to figure out who the extra person is since I am guessing the voting went like this: Jordan, Lindsey and I were Yes and Stephen and Riley were NO. Now I don't know who the extra person is, unless someone voted yes and no.
As for the other vote, it is unanimous: Brewers change the taste of beers to suit local tastes. I once again provided the extra Yes vote at the bottom. So now I am looking for two extra people because I don't think Riley voted at all. If he did then he is a fucking hypocrite.

Glory Glory Man United!!!
That game was scary, but count on Scholes to carry the day. That goal brought back memories of his old form, and FIFA 2004 when he scored every game I played. That was an amazing shot, after an even more amazing play by Zambrotta. This sets up a real doozy of a Champions League final. First off its the first all-English final ever. That in itself is awesome. But its the teams involved that will make it special. If Liverpool triumph's today, then it will set up one of the greatest rivalries in all of football for a no holds-barred Final in Moscow. These two teams historically hate each other, and the fans more so. Could get ugly in the streets of Moscow.
But if Chelsea wins, it will be just as spectacular. ManU and Chelsea are neck and neck in the Premiership, though ManU holds the advantage on goal differential. A ManU/Chelsea final will give both teams the opportunity to go for the double Chelsea now has a legitimate shot at robbing ManU of any hardware this season when only a couple of weeks ago it looked as if all ManU had to do was show up and it would capture the double. I'm still calling on ManU to take the Premiership and Champions League although there are in tough. Chelsea has the psychological advantage after beating ManU last weekend. You can't ask for a better finish to the season.

Many people predicted a San Jose and Montreal final for the Stanley Cup before the playoffs started. Now it looks more like it will be a Pittsburgh/Detroit final. In the West, San Jose and Colorado are done. It is virtually impossible to come back from 3-0. In the West Final Detroit will beat Dallas in 6. Detroit has more speed and skill, though I think Dallas has the advantage in goal.
As for the East, Pittsburgh will be through to the East Finals against....I don't know who. Montreal is only down 2-1 to Philly but Philly looks to be in control. Carey Price had a phenomenal first round but has cooled off tremendously. He will pick it up though. That game will go to the 7th game and I believe Philly will take it simply because they will work harder than Montreal. That and Philly finally has a decent goalie in Biron, well for these playoffs at least.
In the Final I see Detroit beating Philly in 6 to take the cup.

Sean Avery is out for the season with a lacerated spleen. Not sure how it happened. As much as I dislike the guy, I don't want him dead. But still, HAHAHA. Now take as much time off as you need you big baby. I just wish Laraque would have beaten the shit out of him to take him down a peg.

If team Ukraine, AKA Riley's team, makes it to the World Cup Finals on Saturday I expect a few things: 1. We are going. 2. We are going pissed. 3. We are going dressed up. (We being, well you know who you are). If Ukraine doesn't make it I think we should still go because it will be a good game. If not then we should at least get hammered. I've been hankering for a binge for a while.
I think that's it for now. Send your questions, comments, queries or concerns to the comments section.

So Tomorrow...Again
Tomorrow is the big day gaming fans. The much anticipated and vigorously (read: not at all) advertised GTA IV is being released tonight at midnight. It is predicted to sell 9 million copies in its first week and shatter the record set by Halo 3 last fall. (Thats right I get my gaming fix from CBC). My question to you is how many of you are going to pick it up tonight at Midnight? How many of you are going to buy it tomorrow? And, how many of you are going to spend the next week in your basement playing GTA IV? I probably would be, but I'm gonna wait until I get home.
BTW, does anyone know if there is gonna be online co-op? I can't wait for more 1 on 1 basketball games.

Tomorrow
So the NFL Draft is tomorrow. How many of you fucktards are going to sit in front of the TV and your computers all day to watch it? I don't know how anyone can watch it. Its so fucking boring. First off the teams have 30 min to make a pick. How do you not know who you are going to pick? You have months to decide. I bet even Miami will sit there for about 28 minutes even though they have already signed somebody, just cause they can. (Now that he's signed, can they draft somebody else, or do you have to be drafted to play in the NFL?)
Then you have to sit there and listen to the commentators speculate on everyone after each pick. They say the same things and show the same footage of them playing. Then you get the great shots of the players sitting in their living rooms with about 50 people all wearing t-shirts with his name on it.
Why would sit and watch the draft for 10 hours when you can check the results online after it is done and learn what happened in about 5 minutes? It's beyond me.

Beerfest
In light of the recent controversy surrounding some comments on one of the previous posts, I have decided to put up a poll relating to beer.
Actually there will be 2: Do companies change beers to suit local tastes? and Does Stella Artois taste like shit, regardless of location?
Future poll suggestions would be appreciated.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Time for a video game review.
Smash Bros. is an awesome game. It is more or less an updated version of the previous Super Smash Bros. games. There is nothing new in terms of game play. The games controls are pretty straight forward. The Wiimote's motion control is not used which makes sense. It would be a bitch to play if it did. You can play a variety of ways. You can use the Wiimote and Nunchuk, just the Wiimote, the Wii classic controller, or a Gamecube controller. I prefer the Wiimote and Nunchuk since I was shit terrible on Gamecube and the classic controller doesn't have a very nice feel to it.
Back to the game. Like I said the game is essentially an improved version of the last one. It has bettere graphics, different levels, and an unprecedented 35 characters to play as. It has a suprisingly fun and addictive single player side scrolling adventure type game. This campaign enables you to become familiarized with the controls and as you progress you unlock characters, enabling you to try each one out. You can also play co-op which would enable you complete the missions faster, but let's face it, if you have more than one person you are going to play brawl because that is essentially what this game is about. Beating the living hell out of your friends for bragging rights.
Most of the caracters have been seen before such as Mario, Pikachu, Kirby, Link, DK, Samus and Ness. All the characters are from Nintendo games with 2 notable exceptions: Sony's Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid and Sonic from Sega. I am kinda shocked that Sony allowed one of it's competitors to use Snake, but I am glad they did. Snake is by far my favorite character in the game. He is strong, fast and while his jump isn't that fantastic. His up-B move is one the best in the game, enabling him to recover from virtually anywhere.
Some people might be turned off by the sameness of the game, but for true diehard Smash Bros. fans, this is another great game to already wicked series. Much like its predecessors, this game will be played for many years to come.
8.7/10

United May be Fucked
It looks as if ManU's quest for the Premiership and Champions League titles were put in jeopardy this weekend, with Rio Ferdinand injuring his foot. It is unclear how long he will be out, but right now it does not look good. With both Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic out, ManU's defence is severely weakened. The back 4 will now likely be Brown, Evra, O'Shea, and Silvestre. While this is still a formidable line-up, it is going to be a struggle until Ferdiand and Vidic can return to top form.

World Happenings
Apparently the government has decided to removet the proxy and allow me to post. Good for me, unfortunate for you.
Some things have been going on in the world that need some tending.
1. Shockingly, my NCAA picks turned out to be mostly busts. My only team left is Memphis. Who would have thought that all #1 seeds would make it to the Final Four? Also, Tennessee, I no longer like or respect you.
2. Leafs missed the playoffs for the 3rd consecutive year. Don't believe me? Go here, here, here, and here. This is bullshit. Can't we loyal fans just get one decent year with a decent playoff run. Then we will be happy for another 10 years. Leafs got destroyed last night, but so too did Alfredsson. Fucking Eh!
3. Roma is still ManU's bitch. Roma is an awesome team, don't get me wrong, they just wet there shorts when they play ManU. United is in top form. It doesn't look like they will be stopped. With Ronaldinho out now, Barcalona won't have a chance against the Red Devils. ManU and Liverpool in the Final.
4. Bayer Leverkusen shit the bed today against Zenit St. Petersburg. Goodbye UEFA Cup. Hello Champions League. Leverkusen are 4th in the Bundasliga meaning they should get a birth in next year's Champions League if they can hold on.
5. Euro is almost upon us, only 2 months and 3 days.
