Okay, a Sarsaparilla, not a root beer.  Earp's Original Sarsaparilla- "After a hard day of Gun Fight'n, Nothing beats a real Sarsaparilla."  Well, I didn't really have a hard day of gun fighting today, just some skateboarding, hit up a couple 2nd hand stores, than made stir fry for dinner.  Just as well, this fits the bill.  Right off, the bold flavor hits you, but as your pulling the bottle away, the flavor flattens out a bit.  It didn't  really have an after-taste, but left me longing for the flavor that I was first hit with.  Some describe that as the "smokey" flavor.  My opinion is that it's a 3 of 5 stars type of drink. 

Groholski!  I've always wanted this deck (so, always being about 22 or more years), since  a friend of mine gave me the shirt in Jr. High-School.  My mom hated her boy wearing skulls, but this was cartoony enough to sort of  pass.  This was sort of a birthday gift to myself, since it was priced right.  It needs some cleaning, but I can't wait to see what it looks like when I'm done. 

Groholski still rips and has a deck on Pocket Pistols Skates. 

I heard Crass today on PUNK FM: http://www.punkfm.co.uk/

A GREAT internet radio station only playing 1976-1979 punk rock.  You can't go wrong there.   P.S. Donate to keep 'em going.  And thank me later when your afternoon is gone, with a head full of good  tunes.

Pretty much Root Beer.  Nothing really stands out about it, it tastes like root beer should.  That said, it's good, not bad at all.  No weird after-taste, no "shutter" moments while drinking it.  I actually put the whole 2 ltr. bottle down in a couple days.  I, uhhh, didn't want it to go flat.  Pretty much the 1990 Ford Taurus of root beers. Not the best, but it'll fill the void.
