    That said, is the new DB making your coffee for you now?

    The latest version has an AI agent and just reminded me it is time for a beer.

    It's 10am here in Belgium. Is that a proper time for a beer?

    Why not, apparently its something that the Germans have done for centuries.

    Somehow my guts can't fathom a Pilsner coupled with a Big Mac... do they also serve a complimentary roll of toilet paper?

    I'm not sure about it either, to be honest. I could only imagine the beer would just assist the Big Mac in slipping through your system faster than it already does!

    As for complimentaries, just blow up their bathroom before you leave, instead of waiting until you get home (if you can make it home, that is).

    Not every beer tastes like a weak German pilsner ...

    Well, yeah ... there's also Canadian beer, but we use that to make coffee ...

    Do the good German beers come with a pair of suspenders and an accordian?

    I would say it would be any beer served in Germany during OktoberFest,
    by one of those gorgeous beer-wenches that carry like 12 HUGE mugs full
    of good German beer around at once, without dropping any.

    That explains it. I'm 50% Italian and 50% German. But 100% of me enjoys beer.

    It is pretty cool that McDonalds sells beer in Germany. I can't even buy beer in our local Costco or grocery store. Probably because we live in a commie state that regulates beer sales to just liquor stores so they can sell liquor licenses.

    I'm still waiting for Budwiser to make good on my suggestion of making a 50-pack.
