As an update, RI really DID run out of internets. The entire 401 area code (aka the 1000sqmi state) went down on the Verizon grid. Lol. DSL, FiOS, Wireless, phones, the whole shebang. Like the entire state was wiped out of existence for 6 hours.

Bizzarro world.  I have a hard time imagining a world without telecommunications.

But it would be interesting to see the results of no telecommunications.

It would make for the perfect 'attack'.

I have a T-Mobile phone so it didn't effect me call-wise, but there were a lot of confused people. I wonder if it wasn't some sort of social experiment done by the Black Trucks.


Fucking Black Trucks. They corner one side of Tampa Bay...the White Shirts have the other. :tinfoilhat:

I would be so fucking happy as a person.  I fucking hate being on the phone and I could quit this Internet thing anytime I wanted, I swear.

As a dispatcher, though, well, I'd be out of a job.

Ey not for nuthin but it sounds like RI really sucks.

Also is there something wrong with their water? GOD DAMN that winter storm (I think) beer you gave me. I have never tasted anything like it. I uh... it .. uh.. Oh man.
Wow.

I kept tasting it out of disbelief.

yeah, that's one of the better newport storms. I'm still not too in love anything they make, but I would class it as very good beer.

Suu

Yeah, the Newport Storm Winter Storm Ale is uh...unique. I think they changed it since last I had or, or they did a different Storm of the Season that year, because this year it wasn't right.  I swore it was a chocolate porter once upon a time. However, their Oktoberfest is actually really good. They're in the process of moving their brewery, so I think it's fucking up the beers.


And! If you think Narragansett is disgusting NOW, wait til they move the brewery back to Rhode Island instead of Rochester, NY!  :lulz: Actually, most of us think it will be an improvement, that is, if you can really improve on the taste of donkey piss.

I honestly, please don't take offense, couldn't stand it.
I made Mr Squid and the Brain taste it, their reactions were picture worthy. They actually looked sad. I even made little Squid taste it. He said "what is this ass flavored??"
It looked as though it had a weird dead yeast floating around in it. Little white bits of what looked like sand.
I think there was something wrong with it. Like we got the "boner bottle" or something. You know, the one they bottle as a joke and pack it up normal with the rest?

Suu

Shit. Maybe I grabbed a skunked bottle. :(  That's not normal. Sorry! There's no way to check these things. Stupid sealed bottles! Did the Long Trails make it alive at least?
