This is what the French call "power blogging"
First of all, if you comment please throw your name on the comment. I can only guess who you are and honestly, not so found of guessing. And who the hell is KY? Come on; give me something I can work with people!
There's something I need to share with you guys. When Moses was trying to lead his people to the "Promised Land" he was heading in the wrong direction. It's here...
Please notice the price. That's 8 Euro for 24 bottles. So what, that's around $9.50, $10? That's 24 beers!!! A 6pack of Heineken at Wal-Mart or Mulligan's costs $7 or $8. Holy Shit!
So here's how the system works: You buy the beer in a crate like this, 8 Euro, awesome, but already established. You drink it...again, awesome. Then, you take the bottles back, a pain, but it's $9 for quality beer, I can cope. Here's the best part. At the grocery they add on a fee for the crate and glass, somewhere around 3.5o Euro. However, you get that money back when you return them.
So you may be asking, "Kellen, surely all beer (or bier if you wanna be all Dutch) isn't such a bargain!" That is incorrect. The nicer beer might be around 9 or 10 Euro...nicer beer...how much nicer can beer get?!
The world is indeed my oyster...or at the very least...my $9 dollar case of beer...
So that's where I was going to end this one, bring it to a close. However, typing that last sentence moved me. It inspired me to rant about this great beer salvation some more.
A case of Miller High Life, the Champagne of Beers, is $12.50 now in tin cans. A case of Heineken in glass bottles is $9.60. A case of Natural Lite, Natty if you'd be so bold, the choice of frats and dorm rats around the states is around $12. I'm flabbergasted.

that is awesome!!! where is it like that about whiskey? that's where I want to be. what's all this about you being scared of going places? you are a brave little soul-you should explore on your own.
Do they have MD in Holland? Because if they don't, then I don't want to ever go there. I'm working on getting on md's top friends.
w00t. I did a 4 touch red grape wine last night. then i did about a 6 touch red grape wine. then i drank another .25 of some kiwi before the drunk driving started.
i did talk with this cute (i was drunken and i use this term loosely) gas station attendant for like 30 seconds. in case you're wondering why i was there, alone, it's because i lost my mom's lighter, and i had to buy her a new one at 4 am.
fuck
i miss you sir.
I went to the cafe with my mother last night. Proceeded to drink 3 gruat*(?) beers. Each is equivlent to 2 beers in volume, therefore roughly 4 in alchohol...yea came home had 2 more. Found beer here that is around 11% alchohol, opposed to the american 5.3%(?)
yeah, our phone conversations kept getting cut off (or you were too drunk and kept hanging up the phone while yelling at your mother) here is the list of places.
1.Lairesse Apotheek. (pharmacy) i think this is the address: De Lairessestraat 1071 PB Amsterdam. 2. Het Oosten Office Pavillion. Address: 410 Sarphatistraat.
3. Wozoco's Apartments. Address: Ookmeerweg-Reimerswaalstraat?
4. Rietveld Schroder House Address: Prins Hendriklaan 50, Utrecht. these are just a few, but they should keep you busy. hopefully people will let you take pictures inside, especially in the pharmacy
Ah, the Kellen. I remember when he was just a lad, spending his days playing "monster hunter" and drinking cheap beer. Now look at him, he's spending his days laying around and drinking cheap (but quality) beer. Almost brings a tear to my eye.
I have looked into your issue with the previous posts. Go to Blogger Dashboard, then click on your blog. Go to settings, formatting and look for "Show title field" set this to Yes. Now go edit your previous posts, take out the first line (this is what should be your title) and insert it into the title field. I hope that all makes sense.
The problem with updating your template with links and whatnot, is just an issue of refreshing, and republishing. Any thing that you do to change your blog, including make a new post, when you submit it Blogger publishes, but I always republish just to make sure. Then when you are viewing it refresh the page in your browser so you make sure you are looking at the latest version. I hope all of that makes sense.
If you have any questions, just send em over facebook, I'll try to check it more often.
Here are some links that I believe will be interested
