I had somewhat dropped off of Mgoblog during the Ace-exit-era. What did he do to earn the ire of this community?

Next year we intend to do transient slips. We know some people who do it around Sutton's and Grand Traverse Bay and they love being somewhere different every week.

We just this year bought a 1997 Sea Ray 210 open bow.

We live in Traverse City so we mostly take it out in Sutton's Bay and Omena where we tube and camp out in Jamaican blue waters to swim and picnic. Just Friday I was diving off of the boat into 18 ft. of crystal clear water and swimming to the bottom. It was absolute heaven and it is not lost on us how lucky we are as a family to live where we live.

We also enjoy exploring Lake Leelanau, Silver Lake, Long Lake and, next week, Elk Rapids and Power Island.

I don’t know how many times I need to say this: it’s not that we’re arrogant, we’re just better than you. 
 

Oh come on, it’s a joke!

You "suppose" that you'll trust Don Brown and "withhold judgement". Huh. How magnanimous of you football-expert-guy.

I’d like to welcome all of you Mlive hardcore, hot-take, commentators to this site. You suck and the anonymity of the internet is the only reason you have a voice in anything.

Received mine on the 16th here in Plainwell/Kalamazoo. I asked my wife if “my book” arrived yet and she told me, “no just a piece of mail”, so I didn’t discover it until about 11pm last night. 

You are the best. Just the best.

Code is 741258. Thank you.

 

Southern CA We do indeed distribute Bell’s - and Hopslam - in southern CA. So Hopslam will be around if you can find it (this is in reference to someone thinking it’s not in Ca). Good luck!
Neutral Milk Hotel

Ah, yes. I had many a discussion about the conceptual ideas behind NMH's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea on Haloscan.

Although, that particular topic didn't usually start until about the 30th comment. 

More for Michigan My coworker who is a beer rep in Manhattan told me today that there are five Michigan bars in NYC. More than any other Big Ten school.
No Corner of the Internet is Safe I see that the Russians have discovered the Mgoboard.
Shit. He has the Michigan Shit. He has the Michigan helmet in the center of the line-up. You'd think if he wanted to pull the surprise he'd pick a helmet not in the center.

Don't judge me.
That brings to mind a That brings to mind a question: did McDoom disappear near the end of the season? I don't remember him in any of the last two or three games.
I love it when a player gets I love it when a player gets dinged for not beating an entire team, because that's logical.
I'm not sure it'll be the I'm not sure it'll be the VERY LAST place we roll out, but it'll definitely be a few more years.

My sister was in that program My sister was in that program and graduated in '94 or '95. Considering how you all basically lived in design studio up there I'd bet you know her. Her first name is Rose.

I will do that Eric. We don't I will do that Eric. We don't know as of yet the cause. A genetic screening has been done, but we haven't received the results yet. There is no readily apparent cause. As I said, she was born in the "normal" hearing range and, in fact, we have video of her at approximately the age of one (she was on pace to be an early talker) repeating back to us words in English and Spanish and then that ability began to fade. I recognize in the long run she will be fine, but even now I can't type this without tearing up. It's been a tough journey so far.

My daughter was born hearing, My daughter was born hearing, but has steadily been losing it since about the age of one. Now she is five and is severe to profoundly deaf and on her way to getting cochlear implants at Motts. She is also an athletic freak (yes, at the age of five) and we have worried about her ability to play team sports, so this kid's success is really encouraging to witness!

So the way you beat a spread team...

...isn't by scheme, but rather by superior talent. Interesting theory Honcho. If only football coaches knew about this, they'd quit this 'Spread' nonsense.

The purpose? Is the contract's only purpose to protect the employee? I understand it to be an employment agreement between two parties. If you can just get up and leave, why have a contract at all? Just have an exchange of values: labor/performance in exchange for pay. If a contract isn't binding for a length of time it defeats the point, doesn't it? I'm seriously confused by this as I am with pro players who hold out two years into their agreement. You signed a four deal for X amount of dollars, now you're holding out?
What's the point in even having contracts? What's the point in even having contracts?

Private too...

And as of this year, any private college in the state.

Speculative

That's entirely speculative. Only Janet (I can't think of her last name, but the ex-superintendent of KPS) knows the donors and she has always referred to them non-descriptly. I only know this because I used to work for the Upjohn Institute which assisted in overseeing the fund. Either way, the Promise is funded into perpetuity by an anonymous donor(s).

The Kalamazoo Promise

What a phenomenal example of the opportunity and empowerment that the Kalamazoo Promise provides for young people. Good on you for earning your way into Michigan, Simeon!

Blimpy's is anything but Blimpy's is anything but overrated. It is the Tacopants of burgers.

Hopslam in Ypsi

I was just told a few minutes ago that BW3, Sidetrack, and Red Rock in Ypsi currently have Hopslam. I can't first-person vouch for it, but good luck!

On the micro level...

Typically, yes, the more of year-arounds you sell the more a distributor will give you (Expedition doesn't fall into this category). Other distributors want to see on-premise locations keep Two Hearted and a seasonal handle year-around. They're all a little bit different and once a distributor purchases a beer from a supplier it is their beer and ultimately their decision on how to distribute it (though we try to influence that).

On the macro level - ie, how much beer is released to first each state and then within that state, each distributor - is far, far more complicated.

 

For more reasons...

Than you can count, but predominatly because the last time you typically have an Oberon it is Labor Day weekend, you're doing something amazing, and the weather is glorious. Then you go over six months without a drop of it and it is the end of March and everything is cold and the color of mud.

But to say that we change either of those beers, ever, is beyond absurd; not to mention you're trying to tell me what that beer was like 10 years ago compared to now?
