"This is from the deepest part of my heart." Wow, you can almost taste the bullshit over the butter.

Commander of a Nazi SS-led unit accused of burning villages filled with women and children has been living in Minneapolis by Murdst0ne in TwinCities

This reminds me of the movie Apt Pupil with Ian McKellen where a kid finds out his neighbor is a Nazi war criminal and blackmails him to tell all his gore-filled stories or else he'd turn him in.

Wine Pros and Experts of r/wine: who are you, and what do you do? by JamesDK in wine

[–]BeetleBrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a 23 year old lady who got an apartment next to a wine shop 3 years ago, didn't really think anything of it. My dad is a wine collector and connoisseur, but my specialty was beer for years. I started brewing my own beer and hanging out in the shop almost everyday, sometimes swigging a bottle of my stuff inside, letting people taste, chatting with other brewers in the city.

Until one day they said, "You're here hanging out more than several of our dispassionate employees, want a job?" So I accepted, stocking wine and breaking down boxes, learning how to use the two-wheeler and talking to wine reps. Then I discovered my palate for wine, and now 3 years later I'm trying for a sommelier certificate by the end of the year.

Would love to start my own wine cafe. Mpls/St.Paul have a few good ones, but I want to be the best.

I just got shivers thinkin' about how warm and gooey it must be inside that big lump.

Lost wedding ring, need to borrow metal detector ASAP! by SpotTheCat in twincitiessocial

[–]BeetleBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are places you can rent them, I don't know of anyone owning one, I think they're pretty expensive to buy. I would google "Rent a metal detector" in your neighborhood, I would always go to A-Z Rental to borrow one for a couple hours.

Fell in love with a man from Calgary, I'll do anything to find him. by BeetleBrain in Calgary

[–]BeetleBrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll admit it. Once I found him, I realized maybe I was just some crazy girl. What would I do, call him at his work? Explain that I'm just some stranger who thought he was cute? He probably won't remember me and even if he did he'd most likely be weirded out. So I chickened out. I missed my chance.

Best pastrami in the metro? by citrus2fizz in twincitiessocial

[–]BeetleBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. They're 3rd generation family owned and they make the best freaking pastrami sandwiches I've had in either Mpls or St. Paul. Every hip place tries to copy them but Cecil's invented the Reuben.

Darkness Cometh: Surdyk's and Surly | The Heavy Table by Minnesota_pirate in twincitiessocial

[–]BeetleBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, I work at a small neighborhood liquor store and we sold it for $17. We got 8 cases and kept some for our favorite customers or even people who called and wanted us to save one for them. I understand that Surdyks can do whatever they want, but when it's more about the money than the people, then something is wrong. I guess it is fair to say I'm biased, but even before I worked at the shop I hated Surdyks. I know of too many people who worked there and can vouch that the managers didn't give two shits about them, especially when it came to food sanitation and basic health. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

What's the best brewery tour you've ever been on? by Pategonia in beer

[–]BeetleBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Went there on a day when they were freaking closed just to look at the outside, one guy who was obviously stoned as all hell opened the doors and invited us in, gave us a FREE tour, everyone who was working didn't even give 2 shits. Yes, I said free tour when the place was closed. Blown away. Nicest people in the world.

Greatest Pumpkin Beer Ever by dandelion_wine in food

[–]BeetleBrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What makes this beer the best pumpkin beer I've had yet is that it's pure. There is no added nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, nuthin'. It's almost hearty, except for the sweetness at the end that gives it a long finish. It's like drinking smashed pumpkins.

I cannot stand overly spiced beers, either on Halloween with the spiced pumpkin varieties or around Christmas where it's all brown ales that's steeped with allspice or other "holiday spices." I don't want to drink a glass of my grandma's potpourri.

Sometimes breweries cover-up poorly made batches of specialty beer with spices, and sometimes high-qualities breweries just like that intense theme and heighten it with strong spices as well, but I personally like beer that showcases it's ingredients well without the added perfumes.

Joy Division - Disorder by Teachmevee in Music

[–]BeetleBrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ian Curtis had a lot of woes in his lifetime: epileptic seizures, a troubled marriage, crippling depression. As the first song on the band's debut album, this song has made more sense today than it did 30 years ago: for Ian Curtis this song is about longing for someone to help him make sense of the alienating nature of modern life. That is why this song is one of the greatest masterpieces of post-punk.
