Czechia would be the better place for such a lofty endeavour, given that nation's crucial contribution to the development of beer as we know it.

Because of them we have Budweiser, the beer most like sex in a canoe, I dont care if an entire style of beer is named after their town.

NPR is giving some light for what seems like NSG's god, Hasselhoff.

The Czech original is vastly superior to the inferior American knock-off. The proud Czech people cannot be blamed for opportunistic theft of intellectual property by brazen American robber barons.

Was very odd to see a band performing Scottish and Irish folk music at the Renaissance Festival - that's not the odd part yet, bear with me - and the guy who was obviously the lead had a deep, growling voice you'd hear from a heavy metal singer. Was very odd to hear "Let me hear you screaaaammmm" in that deep growling voice and then three minutes later the same guy was grabbing bagpipes and playing them.

Also exchanged currency for the acquisition of a book on Celtic mythology and a book on Norse mythology.

I miss her but she wasn't herself by the end. Lived about 2 years too long.

It's tough, I remember my grandmother telling me about 2 years before she died "ethel, I am tired". She kept her mind till the end but she had had enough, I still miss her.

My grandmother was in very mediocre nursing homes in the last years and it was very sad to see every time. She could barely do anything by herself except like lay in bed and read, and eat prepared meals.

She had a reasonably bad illness around her 90th birthday and that was probably the beginning of the end. She stayed alive long enough to meet my sister's kid though which my sister was very happy about.
