Who's ready for the victory party?

Remember when you were a kid and liked to play with your food?  It's still fun as an adult, but only if you switch to playing with your beverages!

We're now stocked and ready for Saturday's PATH Funeral Party, and we even invited a couple of Arrogant Bastards to the party!  All those Raging Bitches in the fridge with their tiny torches and pitchforks gave the four Arrogant Bastards a very special welcome this afternoon.  I hate to think what's going to happen when I shut the door and the light goes out!

Guess what I discovered?  There's a little essay on the back of the Arrogant Bastard bottle that I never read before.  Patience will tell you that's because I was pie-eyed last November, but I was only "happy" and completely exhausted after getting up at 4 a.m. to do a StopPATH yard sale and a landowners' meeting before driving over to Frederick.  Here's what the Arrogant Bastard has to say for itself:

Arrogant Bastard Ale

ar ro gance (ar o gans) n.  The act or quality of being arrogant; haughty; undue assumption; overbearing conceit.

Arrogant Bastard Ale:  This is an aggressive beer.  You probably won't like it.  It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.  We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar terrirtory --- maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it's made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal.  Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better (or a transmission line "needed").  Perhaps you're mouthing your words as you read this.

See you all on Saturday!  Even you, PATH... you can come and stand at the fence on the property you own next door and watch us having fun at your expense, like the dorky kid who didn't get invited to the party.

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Great photo illustration - we'll have to hunt up some other beverages with illuminating names that we can pose provocatively! You think we can find something with coal in the name (Coal in Your Stocking Ale?), or electricity (Shockingly Bad Beer)?

I think we should open our own brewery. We can brew Lil' CoalFella Ale and Randy Candy Poison Wine... I'm sure Hill will have a few suggestions for us.

We had wayyyyyyyyy too much time on our hands this afternoon after taking that detour to avoid the flood. If it wasn't for that, we never would have thought of it.... and we'd be eating turtle soup tonight! Only the two of us could make such great use of wasted time... :-)

Time is never wasted - just diverted into other activities.

And, of course, when we're together we can hatch all kinds of fun stuff ...!

HEY! WHY WAS I NOT INVITED ON THIS LITTLE EXCURSION????? As for the brewery, a few come to mind ... Pinky Pale Ale (for the large man who's not afraid to wear the same pink polo days on end...(heady with undertones of free doughnuts and koolaid) or perhaps and fine Nietowski Stout (TALL AND LEAN IN ATTEMPS TO BE SKEERY! A photogenic brew with a distinct flavor of weasle) or maybe you would enjoy a Randy Lite? (a VERY FULL BODIED beer with very little head about it) or my personal favorite Minion ale .. a Toddy Schoolgirl Porter (one sip and you hang your head in shame, just like the walk home to daddy).

Hill......... thank you, I just sprayed a mouthful all over my desk.... and there was a pile of freshly printed stuff sitting here I had to rescue. A distinct flavor of weasel? That's as far as I got Somehow I knew we should put you in charge of naming the new brews.

And you were working this afternoon. Sorry... but we can show you where we got 'em (closer than Frederick).

Little Coalfeller Beer - A lightweight, highly hopped beer, bitter and pale in color, with little substance, but it sticks in your teeth.

Melick Pale Ale - Fruity and dramatic, this ale demands to be the center of attention at all times. The large quantities of hops added are intended as a preservative to mask potential off-flavors that might develop.

Haney's Astroturf Ale - Astroturf Ale is brewed using only natural ingredients – it's pure bullshit! That's right, fresh whole bull turds and yeast. A special influence fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation, while fake grassroots are produced by an entirely natural process called “lying” which produces advocacy-like bubbles. Signing multi-million dollar contracts with professional front men imparts a unique, gaseous aroma to the ale. If you drink enough of this, you'll eventually get that long awaited promotion at work!!!

Gogol's Bucket Beer - Like a bad analogy, this beer is made in a bucket, the old-fashioned way. Guaranteed to make you laugh at its stupidity, this beer is a favorite of portly, fussy corporate lawyers everywhere.

We cannot forget the ever popular Monique Malt Beverage. This is one that comes very close to being a real beer (lawyer) Tall and dark with lots of spice, bitterness, and sure to bring a funny look to your face. (Kinda of like when you THINK you smell something rotten but you have to sniff just once more to be sure) This beverage is sure chuckle alongside some of the afore mentioned ales. Goes down smooth with ratepayer doughnuts, especially in D.C.

I just found Jackson Kelly Keg Ale. Available to anyone with lots of ratepayer money. This is one of those tremendously complex beers on the outside, however, upon drinking you find it's really quite silly on the inside. This drink is famous for imitating and posing as other beers or creating false offshoots of real honest down to earth beers. One sip and you will sell your mother's soul if the money's there.

Let's not forget our famous West Virginia let down ... Hollywood Joe Jungle Juice. This is a funny little cocktail contrived of lots of smiles, double talk and plenty of Grecian formula in the mix. This one comes in a can with two openings so you can drink in the full flavor of B.$. while you lie to your friends at the same time. This drink, previously only available in West Virginia, is now influencing ALL of America. This is one that should definately be pulled from the shelves IMMEDIATELY!

I could do this all day, as usual PATH makes this game easy as well. However, I have a big celebration (PATH wake) to prepare for. Hope to see you all there! More to come later, Happy reading PATH!

And after drinking all of the above, you are left with PATH-ITIS. This is an illness which consists of being down on your knees, hugging the toilet and calling R A L P H many times because you are so nauseated. Can't wait for the wake.

Paul Evanson Champagne - Very old, very dry, but very, very expensive! If you have to ask how much a bottle costs, you can't afford it. Served only at the Dusquene Club in a silver snifter by minority minions. For a limited time only, buy a case and get a free pack of Depends!

Mikey's Megalomaniac Porter - Mikey's Porter is brewed with only unnatural ingredients. Specially roasted lies are used to help keep your brain from atrophying (well, kinda), along with a top-fermenting coal fired power plant. This brew pollutes the air at a very high rate, and is unnaturally dyed with Grecian Formula #64 to produce an intensely colored, thick orange head of hair reminiscent of a toupee. Mikey will leave you gasping for breath!

    Keryn Newman blogs here at StopPATH WV about energy issues, transmission policy, misguided regulation, our greedy energy companies and their corporate spin.
    In 2008, AEP & Allegheny Energy's PATH joint venture used their transmission line routing etch-a-sketch to draw a 765kV line across the street from her house. Oooops! And the rest is history.

    StopPATH Blog

    StopPATH Blog began as a forum for information and opinion about the PATH transmission project.  The PATH project was abandoned in 2012, however, this blog was not.

    StopPATH Blog continues to bring you energy policy news and opinion from a consumer's point of view.  If it's sometimes snarky and oftentimes irreverent, just remember that the truth isn't pretty.  People come here because they want the truth, instead of the usual dreadful lies this industry continues to tell itself.  If you keep reading, I'll keep writing.
