Question for Bill: how can one like Coors and hate Bud?
They're both like making love in a canoe!
The only Bud-InBev brand I like is Kokanee Gold made by the Columbia
Brewery in Creston, B.C. which became part of the Labatt company
before InBev swallowed it up.

I remember that place where the meat raffle was
being held, where I ordered a Labatt, and you
ordered a Kokanee, and we determined that they
were identical. Not bad for hopless mass-market
beverage, though

My friend Helen makes something she calls swill
- it's poultry gizzards, necks, and backs boiled
together with whatever seasoning vegetables may
be around the fridge (celery, onions, garlic,
carrots), and maybe a tomato or two thrown in.
Served with rice, it's not altogether bad

That sounds really good especially if the poultry bits were roasted
before they were simmered.

In her case they're leftovers from a (ready-made)
roast chicken supplemented with purpose-bought
parts, which are not preroasted, though I agree
that the dish would be more interesting if they were.

Being a farm boy the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the
word is the slop pail destined for the pig pen.

The evidence indicates that our usage predates
your usage, by how long I'm not sure.

Sloppy Joe's Cocktail

Yeah, the same guy who invented that sandwich.

Interesting. Not sure which is the greater
stroke of genius.
