Re: Interesting article
I wonder if I'd be allergic to virtual beer... as I am real beer... or something within the beer actually...
(Yes, it sucks...But, I'm not allergic to Captin Morgan...)

Re: Interesting article
Hey just who do they think we are, anywho? The writer sounds kinda snobbish don't he? Or is it a SHE? Let me guess he/she was never allowed in any kids clubs when he/she was a child. Still has trouble fitting in...
Oh and it's GREAT TASTE! ![]()

Re: Interesting article
Not reading it.But,who cares what others say?If they don`t get it,then they don`t realize just how much they don`t actually know about the world and the people they profess to have such a grasp upon.I don`t understand overintellectualizing over what one does with their time.Doesn`t that take time?
Oh...and the "actual beer" is fully compatible with this "virtual activity" which is potentially "actual" because it leads to actually getting to know people.I`m usually drinking "virtual iced tea" anyway(which is actually actual because it makes me pee).I had a few "virtual margaritas" the other night(and pee`d).It`s funny,I see mention of beer from time to time.But,really don`t know who drinks and who doesn`t.I didn`t think it was about beer.

Re: Interesting article
There is nothing wrong with drinking beer virtual or other-wise.
In my day I drank plenty, but now since I am old and gray I need the kick of the "Dew" to keep my heart and body running. These sites are informative and intertaining, all round great places to visit. I have not met anyone on here personally, but feel I know many. On these sites it doesn't matter what age, race or gender you are. I don't work on trucks as much as a lot of you, but the information on here makes for a great read and some times motivates me to do stuff to my ole farm truck. Danny - Southeast Missouri |

Re: Interesting article
The writer needs to go back to writing articles for The Femanine Male Magazine and leave the car and truck stuff to the real men and women of our hobby. He probably drives a Peugot.
