Episode 9: Taste off, you hosers!

Gonso presents several different varieties of booze for us to taste, and determine which is which. Unfortunately, we went into this competition just 'slightly buzzed' so we were a bit off our game. And Clarke discovers an embarrassing truth about his love for a beer he never thought possible.

In this first official Taste-Off we try:
• Pilsner Beers
• Herbal Liqueurs
• Belgian Abbey Ales
• Single Malt Scotch
• Irish Stouts

So, you can see how we got just slightly RIPPED during this tasting. Maybe next time we'll just have one or two. I don't think we quite remember how this ended, so it'll be as big a surprise to us as it is to you.

The Ducks are playoff bound!

We're back! With a 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks tonight, my Anaheim Ducks have qualified for the 2006 Stanley Cup playoffs. And this time, we're not falling short of the cup. If you can't recall what happened the last time we made it, read about it here.



Anyone who knows me knows my passion for this sport, and for my team. And this time, we won't be denied. We've got Sellane in prime form, the old Jiggy's back, and we've got Niedermayer (one of the reasons game 7 of the Finals didn't go our way last time), and best of all -- we've got the monkey off of our back.

First round opponent will most likely be Nashville, led by that traitor Paul Kariya. From there, we'll probably get a chance to exact revenge on Dallas, then Detroit. I won't say it'll be easy for the team - they're all tough opponents. But that game 7 left a nasty taste in our mouths, and we want revenge.

Go Ducks!
