    I want to hoist a toast to the Rolling Rock employees of the Rolling Rock Brewery in Latrobe, PA. for their many years of brewing one of the finest beers around. The employees of Rolling Rock brewery in Latrobe have lost their jobs because the business was sold to Anheiser-Busch. The last of the Rolling Rock was brewed in Latrobe last week. Rolling Rock is now brewed in NJ with toxic landfill runoff as water. I will never drink a "Rock" or any Bush brewed beer again!:mad:

    Why two threads?

    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42978

    In the spirit of RT1's original post, I would like to hoist one to Shizelbs, for facilitating the sale of my SDA-CRS to RT1 when I was a brand new member.

    Thanks!

    This stuff is aptly titled.... but potent and well-worth it.

    Here's to the usual suspects (Polk_Audio_Lsi, T Unit 616, Onkyofanatic, etc.)
    who have kept this site "interesting" and "entertaining" during the down times:)
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Do you guys READ the original post? Dunderheads, all of you. Toast someone for cripes sake.

    I'll raise a pint of suds, to our old friend Nascarnann (Shane Mann), he loved his SDA's and big Yamaha amps. Here's to you brother, a pint of the cream of Manchester!
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Well, here's one to the folks at Polk who make this all possible:


    Schlafly Hefeweizen.jpg



    .....yes, that's Schlafly's beer, not bad stuff.
    .....yes, that's a crappy beer picture, couldn't find one with a frosty mug.
    .....yes, I'm sucking up to the owners.

    ....and to all the folks on CP who make this an interesting experience.

    Agreed! Those Stone brews are wicked good. Their Ruination is one of my all time favs.

    past:

    Shane was before my time and may have passed on but his legend never will.

    Greg's nickname I only understood after he departed but is way cool.

    I remember reading of a fellow that came here to sell his Polk speakers shortly before his death but can't remember his name.
    He was doing this to ease the burden on his wife and I believe child.


    present:

    Those of you that have been here so long that their cheese and breath have become moldy, I salute you.
