   Oh, there be plenty 'o trash in those parts. The most   
   intense case was probably a decade ago after a toothless   
   clan began renting in the house next to our first house.   
   I'll have to tell that story here sometime. Suffice it   
   to say this country is *teeming* with "white" morons.   
      
   Thankfully, some of them that can afford it are emigrating   
   to Sweden.... ;-)

   I found a deal where I could get 12 *liter* (not the 750   
   ml BS) bottles for $1.80 each when purchased by the case.   
   And it was good! I think I still have a label in memorabilia,   
   somewhere. The winery was "Ernest Mees", but I've found much   
   on its existence the last couple times I searched online for   
   possible historical info.

   I just seemed "clean" without sacrificing active ingredient.   
      
   The worst, to my taste buds, was Miller Lite.
