Zak-Paul Gosselaar update: dude is going good!

[Ryan Cousineau]

Aside from making fun of Mark-Paul "Zak from Saved by the Bell"
Gosselaar at the start of this year, I have more or less forgotten about
him.

In a year when I'm struggling to get down to race weight and up to
sprint speed, he's catted up from 4 to 3:

On the other hand, he is Dutch, so, you know...

He is just a half-ass local guy who got lucky........
If other guys in his race knew who he was they would clean his clock......
Just because of the fact he was that Zak goof..

Who says that's off topic? We have a minimum daily requirement for that and it

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about Zak's liquor cabinet. I found

Yeah, after Ewoud mentioned it I seemed to recall we had been there
before.

Which is visual image contained in this thread is more impressive -
Tiffany, or The Cabinet?

Trick question. The face of an angel with a body built for sin vs. a
**** load of alcohol. Well, considering I'd probably need the second
to get the first, do I have to make a choice?

A good bar can be as high maintenance as Ms. Theissen. OTOH, it won't
leave you just because you filled the frig with Miller Lite. It
should, but it won't. (Then there is the philosophical question,
speaking from the LiveDrunk ethos - can a bar have a frig (assuming
only one) filled with Miller Lite and still be a good bar?)

Beer is like pizza. There's good pizza, and there's great pizza, but
there's no such thing as bad pizza*.

I prefer frou-frou boutique beers, but this thread is making me thirsty.

*Technically not true, as I've heard some horror stories about English
interpretations of this dish, but let's just say you have to go pretty
far down the beer and pizza bell-curve tails before you start leaving
either one on the table.

Hmm, what about the pizza in Japan: Gorgeous Salmon, Sea Urchin Glory, and Queen
of Crab & Shrimp. Or tuna, mayonnaise and corn pizza.

Maybe it's me, but that stuff sounds good.

That said, in my city okonomoyaki is the sort of thing you can get at
the food fair in the Aberdeen Centre mall. English pizza is considerably
more exotic and distant.

We'll just have to disagree here. OTOH, I haven't been really
desperate in years (Rips in Bowie, MD has reasonably priced good beers
- I recommend them as a starter), but I do remember Thailand, where
the choices were beers off the barges after a couple of months of fun
in the sun, or formaldehyde laced local stuff (to kill the swimming
stuff) - after awhile, you went with choice three, which was the local
stuff sans formaldehyde, and with the entertainment of this kind of
odd, near animal life forms swimming around when you held the beer up
to the light.

The global proliferation of the Irish pub has meant that warm English
beer or a good approximation is available the world 'round.

Of the four bars nearest my house, one is nautical-themed, one is
railroad-themed, and two are Irish-themed.

It would take some effort to find really obscure English or Belgian
beers around here, but I can get a wide variety of canned and bottled
brews (notably Bellevue Kriek, a cherry lambic of modest reputation) at
the liquor store.

On tap. aside from Guiness and (probably) warm english beer around town,
there are many thriving microbreweries and brew-pubs that do
english-style brews. YOu can't throw a rock in this town without hitting
an India pale ale.

The women last longer than 10 years, but the "pretty as Amber-Thiessen"
part does not.

I'm not saying older women are without their qualities: I intend to be
married to one in due time. But pretending that beauty doesn't fade is
just making stuff up. Guys get ugly with age, too.

Not that shallow, not that deluded,

Guys don't seem to get "ugly" with age as rapidly as women. Like Flavio

Well, therein lies a tale. When I say "sister", I mean that in a way
that suggests that, although those branches of the family tree get
close, they don't actually join...

Err,...I think if someone marries my great uncle, she becomes my great
aunt, but her sister is still just her sister, least ways as far as
I'm concerned.

Evidently this isn't the case here, but it could be. I guess this is a
