I am, and you've got a point there. :rofl: I think I'm entitled to it though, since the last cup of coffee I bought was overseas. Just beans to make my own when I'm here. The weak sh!t that passes for coffee here can go die in a fire. Same for all the sweet milky vaguely coffee flavored drinks.

Just got a limited release Antiguan, lightly roasted. This is some good stuff. Single origin is good but farm specific is better. :thumb:

The coffee in France was better than the Northern Euro version of coffee... but not as good as Spanish... and NOWHERE near as good as Italian. :drool:
My experience too but now I think you can find good coffee in many place as tons of gourmet places have shot up in around Europe. Still not like in Italy where you will find an amazing coffee culture all over the place and not have to look to hard.

rofl, an American complaining about bad coffee...


(I'm assuming you're a yank)
LOL... While I see your point but there are two sides to the US and you cant make those generalizations. We are the land of contradictions.
  • We have Miller and Coors, but we also have Stone Brewery and Lagunitas.
  • We have McDonalds, but we also have California cuisine, Asian fusion, southwestern, southern, cajun and creole.
  • We have Velveeta cheese, but then we also have california artisan chevre, Wisconsin or Vermont cheddar

Likewise for our coffee, we have Folgers, but we also have Petes, Tilly etc.

Fvck France. Hate that whole goddamn country.
Is it because they are different then you? France has a disproportionate amount of beautiful women. Who are very slutty and seemingly love drunk Americans. They have awesome Mountains, good food, and slutty women. So go ahead and hate on France, because I am sure they are hating on you too.

He grew up in the want-to-be-french-state, a case of self hate I guess.

It's good but in most places not perfect and I'm yet to find a place in italy to make me a Chemex or a Cold drip (seriously that would be the best thing ever for their stupid hot weather)

Nope Nevada is the evil anti France. Even Mormons are leary of Nevada....
Now I understand that it was the environment I grew up in that predisposes me to want to drop dirty bombs on the French.

What? Have you ever been to France and how much acid did you drop? Most French women are horrible. Maybe not british horrible but imho London is better than Paris while none of that cities is representable because half of the girls are not from around there.
Hot Girls - any Slavik country. Slovenia is awesome.

Compared to the Polish girls I grew up with in Buffalo NY they were hot. Even the Algerian hookers in Marseile and Toulon were effin gorgeous. I have been twice and the quality of the talent was amazing. Only Rome had better. We have a fair amount of Slavic girls here in the states. As slutty and gorgeous as they are I like to awaken with the same amount of money in my wallet as I went to sleep with. I haven't taken any acid since Jerry Garcia died. So there toughguy....

Since when horrible is a synonym for hot? London has a lot of hot chicks because it's a huge multicultural city = girls from all around the world. Go to any other british place and you are SOL.

As for Polish chicks in the US. Poland is not the smarest country but the people that went away to the US are like our representation to the special olympics so no wonder you got bad experiance with them ;) My friends unkle still sends him toiled paper from Chicago... TBH I think I live in a silly country full of halfwits but the girls are the only reason it is still ok to stay here.

Owlsley for the WIN!
We wouldn't have a Live Performance Industry if it wasn't for Owlsley. It's a shame he is renowned for drugs, as a sound engineer he was a genius. He invented the Modern Sound Array and the Wall of Sound.

grngl... I am not necessarily convinced that the WOS was actually a positive contribution to music - the grinch
When was the last show in an arena or larger club you went to that didn't have a Massive Array hanging on the left and right sides of the stage along with FOH monitors all over the stage? In fact most small clubs also use his WOS principles to mimic a larger space.....

Last public performance JBP went to, Lincoln got shot. It spooked him and he hasn't been to one since.
