MODERATORS
Their purpose is to showcase the plant alongside various California agricultural staples, including wine, cheese, olive oil and craft beer.
I’d like to hear an explanation on “craft” beer. The term is largely misunderstood by the lay person. The Brewers Association classifies craft as small (6 million barrels or less a year), independent (25% or less of the brewery is owned or controlled by a beverage alcohol industry member which is not itself a craft brewer) and most importantly, a brewer (has a “Brewer’s Notice issued by the Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau, or its successor, or control the intellectual property for one or more brands of beer, have that brand or brands brewed for it in the United States, and have as its primary business purpose the resale of the brand or brands it controls”).
What exactly from craft beer is being showcased for agriculture? Is the state growing some particularly notable ingredients?
There are more than a few notable ingredients that some (not all and not most) craft breweries in California showcase in their brews. Admiral Maltingd grows and dries malt for one (and it’s dang good, had it in a few home brews and served in their taproom). But also, the entire west coast is well known for growing hops. We have quite a few growers in California that have their product used across the world, but especially in the products that many craft breweries here make.
Further, there are a large number of styles of beers that are fruited and California produces a great deal of the fruit found across our country and state.
Adjuncts are also produced in some places (some traditional beers utilize juniper and spruce, but there are a great many more things grown that get used in a beer that isn’t the Pilsner or Vienna Lager that most people think of when they think of Beer).
The Muppets Take Manhattan is second only to The Great Muppet Caper. Both are top-tier.
Dude. The Muppet Movie.
Personally, I rank it first in cast, but third in story. I hope we can still be friends after this. Lol
We can still be friends, but you're not coming to my house for my Muppet movie marathon!
Fair enough. lol
What’s your ranking then?
Of the original three, almost the opposite of you. Muppet movie, Muppets Take Manhattan, Great Muppet Caper. I love all three though.
I can see putting The Muppet Movie first. The story isn’t as much my taste, but the bicycle scene alone was sheer brilliance. I’m surprised you’d rank The Great Muppet Caper third though. There are so many funny parts, and I love the inclusion of the Electric Mayhem. “Man, I don’t have no other pants.” Maybe it’s time you give it another watch.
Maybe so. Admittedly, it's been many years since I watched it. If nothing else, the other two seem more iconic to me. The Muppet Movie for obvious reasons, but The Muppets Take Manhattan because it created the concept of Muppet Babies and ends with Kermit and Piggy (probably) getting married.
Absolutely. They’re both staples in the canon. I like Caper because it’s like Toy Story in the way it had more veiled adult jokes. I think it feels more like Jim’s initial intention of making Muppets for all ages, rather than just family friendly kid entertainment.
I’m also extremely partial to Treasure Island and Christmas Carol. But I pretty much love everything Muppets
Me too, I was just talking about the original "trilogy," for lack of a better word. All the other Muppet movies were post-Henson.
But I even love Muppets from Space and lots of people hate that one.
Oh yeah I totally get you, and I don’t hate Muppets in Space but I do consider it weakest of the non-Sesame Street muppet movies(which are fine I just only remember the Big Bird ones). Hell I really enjoyed going to the Jason Seagals The Muppets
Lines for food will be even longer
Dem flying chairs are going to fly higher than usual now
It will probably lessen the amount of puke on and after rides if nothing else...
It’ll probably increase ride and game engagement, as well as food sales. It’ll definitely reduce the aggression that is common at fairs from excessive drinking.
I read that as cannibals at first and just kinda assumed that Imperial county did something weird.
