He may be tardy, but MCRABT joins his IRON gov brethren in fulfilling Article 10 of the peace treaty. And he reviews one of my favorite European brews, Grolsch.
Read on, good citizens of Bob . . .
Beer Review:Old Speckled Hen:
He wasn’t joking either this is a timeless classic which was first brewed to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of the MG car factory. Unfortunately for MG the beer outlasted the car company hardly surprising given it’s heavy deep malted body; Old speckled Hen is full of flavour, and tickles the tongue with a slight aroma of Toffee. However I do find it a little to heavy for me unfortunately and I find it sits on top of my kebab on most nights out. Nevertheless at £1.50 a bottle from ASDA it’s well worth a wee swallow with your barbeque. Oh a little health warning this is mans beer it’s not like your cheep Coors pish water you get in the States, 4 of these and you know you have had a bevvie.
Newcastle Brown Ale aka “NEWKY BROON” or “DOG”:
This beer is so good that Nike felt the need to make you a matching pair of shoes to wear when your drinking it. There not to my personal taste but if beige and brown take your fancy then why no? I’m a little bias with this one as it’s my regular drink, if you are lucky enough to live in the UK you can get this at your local Whetherspoons for cheaper than they sell it in most shops so it’s perfect for a cheap piss up. It comes in with a decent punch at 4.7% that will do the damage when you throw them back. Newky broon is very easy to drink as a result you may find your quiet drink turns into a raging brawl. Not to worry though the glass bottles they are served in are pretty much unbreakable so they can be used over and over again. DO NOT EVER DRINK NEWCASTLE BROWN ALE IN A GLASS, drinking Newcastle brown Ale in a glass is a crime against humanity it spoils both the taste and texture and causes the beer to loose it’s bubble faster than need be. I realise I haven’t given you much to go on in terms of taste but this beer is something you really need to drink if you haven’t already.
Tennents ICE COLD:
This is not the best beer in the world by any stretch of the imagination, its not even the best lager in the world if truth be told it’s probably one of the poorer ones. However they serve it at Scotland games, which makes a little sentimental to me. An Ice cold T, A mince pie and 50000 people at Hamden park on a Saturday afternoon what more could you ask for? Tennents is lighter than a lot of beers, which makes it quite refreshing on a sunny day. It’s also among the cheapest drinks you will find in a pub which is always a perk if your poor like me.
Grolsch:
Grolsch is probably my favourite lager it’s neither to heavy nor to light. Every bottle you open tastes crisp and fresh and you find yourself wandering back and forth to the fridge for some more. Grolsch say they only bottle it when it’s ready and that is clearly the case. It has a sweet honeyish taste and a very clean finish. As far as lagers go Grolsch is pretty much spot on.
Leffe:
Leffe is delicious, I don’t get the chance to drink it very often because it’s quite expensive in comparison to other beers of similar quality. It does however pack a smack in the face with an alcohol content of 6.6%. It has a very rich taste with a dry finish. I wouldn’t drink Leffe to quench my thirst but it is lovely with a steak or just sitting outside with a cigarette on a nice day. It’s a little heavy but is easily drinkable so again you may find yourself a little wasted after a few.

And we have another tardy offering from IRON.... Shan Revan explains the delay,
I'm very sorry for the extra delay, I killed my computer at a rather inopportune time.And now, on to the tasty research results:
Greetings fair citizens of Planet Bob. I come to you today with a veritable feast for the senses! As per the agreement as gentlemen, I have taken it upon myself, the arduous and death defying task of reviewing at least five Beers. As a resident of the Great Southern Continent, my review will undoubtedly be unique from that of my northern compatriots.Unfortunately, I must confess, due to the current disappointing financial situations of my wallet, I have thus far been unable to procure any alcoholic substances worthy of review, and being adverse to the nature of bacon, I have had to come up with a worthy solution without causing any further delay. As there are no provisions present on what basis these beverages must be judged upon, I shall review beer based mostly upon advertisements where taste is lacking.
XXXX:
This is THE beer of Queensland. Possibly the only place in the world where you will find pubs everywhere with neon Xs all over it, and be very disappointed if you came specifically for some boobs. The drink itself is okay, seems to go well with a barbie, but is not really my taste. I wouldn't recommend this drink based on my personal experiences with it, or based on its advertising which consist of surprisingly lame skits based around a bunch of blokes building a boat. It's acceptable, even adequate, but for about the same price there's better. If you're in QLD though it's readily available!

Fosters.
Fosters, Australian for beer right? Well maybe in the 70's. Since then its popularity has declined somewhat to the point that it seems nearly non-existent down here. I haven't personally seen an advertisement for this beverage outside of youtube, ever. That being said, apart from playing up the Australian stereotype and accent a little annoyingly at times, the ads seem alright.
Based purely on this ad I would recommend it. Based on everything I've been told about it, I would avoid it like the plague as I'm told it's piss, and certainly not the best we make. Take that for what you will.
Actually this whole serious of them seems pretty good.
Victoria Bitter.
Not a true bitter in the technical sense, a lager really, but that's a distinction that isn't commonly made here anyway. The beer is cheap... real cheap, people will tell you it's either liquid gold or the other, warm kind of liquid gold. It's got the biggest market share in Australia, which means at least it must have something going for it. Their ads tend to involve clever use of prose to create some memorable lines accompanied by a catchy jingle and they also have a few amusing/clever ads.
Tooheys
I've actually tried a few of the different tooheys beers, they're pretty average for the most part, nothing special. Tooheys New is a fairly typical mainstream australian beer, that generally goes well enough with anything. Their Extra Dry brew is popular with younger people and I personally enjoy it well enough. Overall their best is the Toohey's Old, which is a dark ale and is actually pretty good in my opinion.
Overall their advertisements go from
, Strange,andbut hey it works apparantly.Carlton Draught
This Victorian pale lager is one of Australia's best selling tap beers. I haven't actually had a chance to imbibe this particular draught however it's on my list to do so. It's advertisements have made it famous worldwide. Many of you may be famous with their masterpiece in persuasion that is
that was made famous when it was released on the internet. It even has it's own wiki page. However Carltonis far from a one trick pony, with other hits such as Flashbeer,
,andand many more, this is a beer that I whole heartedly recommend soley based upon advertising (I expect the drink itself to be fairly generic and boring but we'll see).Honourable Mentions:
Bundaburg "Bundy" Rum.
Not a beer but they do tend to have pretty good ads.
They have lots more, many better ones but I can't find half of them unfortunately because they're a bit older.
Also including this link because I like the ad.

Ok, thats enough outrage for one day. interesting video game reviews..how long till we have cola reviews?
It is as if this leader of IRON was reading your mind.
Peron presents us with a review of the finest product from the back of that wonderful, magical animal, the baconater.
Something like that.
Let's read attentively to this contribution to IRON's fulfillment of the famed Article 10:
For my review, I chose to do bacon,
The first type of bacon I chose was this bacon sandwich:
I give it a 10/10 on the heart attack scale. After the first bite I could feel my veins clogging and my heart pumping harder. After about 10 minutes I lost sight in my right eye and my hearing failed. I think I had a stroke, but I was too involved in trying to chew the bacon to notice.
Good news? Well there isn't really any.... I wouldn't suggest this to anyone who wants to survive.
After spending a good 3 weeks in the hospital, I chose my second type of bacon:
After my last run in with bacon, I decided to go healthier and chose a DIET coke. Let me tell you, it was a bad choice. Not only did it make me vomit about a dozen times, I believe my stomach actually fell out and punched me in the face.
My third choice of bacon was as follows:
Sir Francis Bacon was an English philosopher in the early 1600's. He married Anne Cooke. Bacon served as both the Attorney General and the Lord Chancellor of England. He also played a big part in the scientific revolution.
Thank you Peron.
I'm not entirely clear, did you cannibalize Sir. Francis Bacon, or have a torrid long term relationship with him, or just a one time "I'm just experimenting" kind of thing?
-
We have another review from IRON gov for your education and entertainment.
While the terms of Article 10 call for a review of beer or bacon, sometimes exceptions are justified.
Friffon does not drink and lives in a part of the world where bacon is considered a fungible item, offered in only one style.
Admittedly, he could have used that generic smoked porcine backfat in three different recipes and reported on those, but he asked for and was given dispensation to provide another review which many of you may find of some passing interest. I, for one, applaud Friffon's enterprise.
DISCLAIMER: The links within this report are provided for information purposes only and are not intended as advertisement or endorsement of the sites listed.And so without further ado, we move one step closer to IRON's completion of their surrender terms.

I know many Farkers were eager for another beer review, but sadly you won’t get any from me as I don’t like beer (in before flamefest
). So instead I could do a review about the delicious bacon, but there’s a problem, we don’t have bacon brands around these parts, just normal delicious bacon. So something else had to be found to be reviewed (for the rejoice of the vegetarian and alcohol avoiders), and as being a computer geek I’ll be reviewing games. These aren’t any kind of games, most of them are indie and you probably never heard of them (if you actually played any then you’ll win a free cookie).So here goes my review (download links included on the freeware games):
1 - Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari in japanese)
Genre: Platform
Ahhh, old school goodness. The pixel art graphics and 8-bit soundtrack will bring back the nostalgia feelings, making the playing experience quite enjoyable. Your character wakes up in the middle of a cave, and when you leave it you’ll enter the Mimiga Village and meet the mimigas, bunny like creatures that have been hiding from… spoilers, etc, play it and find out
, the story is interesting though. Multiple weapons to get/trade through the game (they can also level up by grabbing experience triangles dropped by enemies, you lose part of them if you get hit) and one of them is a machine gun, that if it’s fully upgraded it doubles as jetpack. Can’t point out any flaw in this game, it’s very well done.Preview video:
Download link: http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/downloads_1.php
2 - Bunny Must Die / Chelsea and the 7 devils
Genre: Platform (Castlevania style)
In this game you control a bunny girl that throws knives and can control time, which makes perfect sense for Japanese game. It’s pretty much like Castlevania, but instead of having a special secondary weapon skill you can control time, and as you find time extensions you will win extra abilities such as reversing/slowing time or even get a healing ability at cost of time energy. The song is catchy but it might end being annoying as there is little diversity on that field. There are 5 different weapons you can pick up (knife, sword, boomerang, ball and chain and homing missiles) but you’ll only be able to carry one at a time, although the first 2 are the most abundant and you’ll be using them most of the time. If you have the patience to finish BMD you will unlock the Chelsea story, which is basically the same whole level with very few changes and using a different weapon/special system. The controls are a little stiff making it harder to do some platform jumping and the special moves.
Basically, it’s an interesting game to give a try if you are really bored, like this game genre and want a challenge as this game despite its looks is quite difficult.
Playthrough video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6wQxeTH3m8
3 - I Wanna Be The Guy
Genre: Platform
“In the year 200X, on his 15th Birthday… A child left home… On his dangerous and epic quest to become The Guy!”. Dangerous is an understatement as this is one of the hardest games I’ve actually seen, it also states “The game where everything kills you. Even the moon” and it does… 3 times. You will have to control this gun wielding double jumping kid that dies with one single touch to any hazard, and to make it worse, most of them are traps. Changing difficulty won’t affect the traps, all it does is changing the number of save points, from 1~2 per screen (medium) to none (impossible). It contains 8 bosses that you will have to beat through the game and several references to other games such as Punch-Out, Super Mario, Megaman, Metroid, Street Fighter, Castlevania and a couple more. The beginning of the songs might get burned on your head as you most of the time won’t hear the rest of them as you are too busy dying while trying to do tangent jumps through spikes. The perfect game to masochists.

4 - Touhou Project
Genre: Vertical Shmup (Shoot 'em up) Danmaku (Bullet Hell)
The most known game of these reviewed, quite popular on the eastern community but not so much in the west. The entire game focus on girls flying around killing fairies and firing bullet barrages at each other… it’s weird but hey, its sole creator (known as ZUN) is know for being a beer lover (
). Being a bullet hell means it isn’t for everyone, the number of bullets (which can kill you with one single touch) on screen can easily go over the hundreds (and many more during boss fights). It may seem impossible, but your hitbox (your vulnerable area) is only a 5 pixel square, also contains an easy mode that is great to introduce this genre to new players without being too frustrating. This game series presents both an awesome soundtrack (3 of its songs managed to get into 2chan top 300 videogame songs of all time, one of them reaching the 20th place, which is an outstanding feat considering that ZUN made them all alone), amazing bullet patterns and the focus system, which by pressing shift you can see your hitbox, move slower (vital for precision dodging) and having a more focused firepower. All games contain 6 levels and an extra one (Perfect Cherry Blossom actually has 2) that can only be unlocked after you beat those 6 levels without using continues and playing on normal or above difficulty. Also, if you don't continue you are given an option to save the replay, so you can see what you did and learn from your mistakes.For more info about the whole series you can check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou_Project

5 - Battleships Forever
Genre: Arcade
Who doesn’t like spaceships, lasers and explosions? This is an indie game from Sean "th15" Chan that is on works for 2 years and is currently on version 0.90d. You are given 17 ships you can choose from for your missions (availability changes from mission to mission). On those missions you are given some points which you can spend on assigning what ships you want for your fleet (patrol ships cost 1 point, destroyers 2, battleships 3) and try to find out which is the best combo/strategy. Music is meh, skirmish and career missions are well done (you can upload your skirmish score), ships keep getting fine tuned to keep balance and contains a ship building program. The most notable downside is the lack of multiplayer, although it’s planned a sequel that will include it. Until then if you want to fight against your friend’s ships you have to get him send the ship file and place them on the sandbox to fight it out. Despite being an indie game and their graphics looking quite simple, it’s quite CPU/RAM demanding as it takes quite a while to start even on a fast computer and can freeze for a minute if you deploy a massive ship or lag when you have a large fleet in screen. Still the overall I give to this game is:

Let's take a look back, shall we? IRON fought well, but in the end willingly signed a treaty of surrender.
Article 10 was all about honor. Yes, we made it a lighthearted test of honor, but a test is was and is.
Honor would suggest those who signed would fulfill the terms of the agreement, in a timely manner, particularly one involving little pain and much pleasure.
It took a gentle prod to remind others in IRON's gov of their obligation. Earlier today we heard from Matt Miller. While tardy, his report fulfilled the key requisite of demonstrating he is a man of honor.
Now, another member of IRON gov, bay102174 offers this:
To: ironone From: bay102174 Date: 8/3/2009 9:52:14 AMSubject: Beer review
Message: Samuel Adams Seasonal
I liked this beer.
Blue Moon Belgium White Ale
I liked this beer.
New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale
I liked this beer.
Samuel Adams Boston Lager
I liked this beer.
Guinness Extra Stout
I really liked this beer.
I consider this matter closed as it was optional according to the TOS anyway. You can post this on the OWF or not for all I care. If it is said that I did not do this, I will post the screen shot of this message to you.
The matter is not closed and Article 10 was and is not optional.
This is not what one expects from a person of honor and personal integrity.
I am very disappointed that bay102174 has displayed neither.
-
As many of you may recall, one of the terms in the treaty ending the hostilities between the Karma alliances and IRON was a requirement that members of IRON gov should share with Bob their knowledge of beer (or bacon).
Today, we are pleased to share with you the results of Matt Miller's extensive research into this most delicious of the sciences. And while Article 10 does specify a requirement that only "real" beers be assessed, Matt does offer some legitimate justification for his final offering. But you, the good people of Bob, will be the judge and jury.
We thirst for Matt's analysis of the fermented barleycorn.
Here are my 5 reviews, I just shared some quick thoughts on some of my favorite beers (mostly from college times).
Hot off the presses in Bubbler Nation (after a prolonged hangover)
Carlsberg Elephant Beer
I had this beer on a day near 100 degrees Fahrenheit when traveling in Europe on break from college and found it to be incredibly refreshing. There’s nothing quite like the Elephant beer on a hot day. I just wish I could find it back home.
Boddington’s Pub Ale
It’s been done by Finster already, but it’s one of my favorites so I don’t particularly care if he beat me to it. This is one of those beers that really provides a full bodied experience with some nice froth on the top. I actually prefer it to Guinness; it’s just too bad I can only find it locally at one bar where I live.
Blue Moon Belgian White
I first found this beer when in college and to this day it’s the only one that I’ll allow citrus fruit to get near. I don’t even use a lime in Corona, just a slice of orange in the Blue Moon. It’s lighter than some of the other beers I drink, but can still stand up to a discerning palate.
Dinkel Acker
This is German beer at its finest. I discovered this during college as well (I’m beginning to see a pattern emerge here) on a night out with some of my teammates, one of whom was from southern Germany. This was his favorite and quickly became one of mine as well. Until then I had no idea what a good German beer tasted like. I must say I found this one nice and crisp, which makes it perfect for consumption in larger quantities than some of the others I enjoy.
Amstel Light
I think I remember something about no light beers, but this one is such a personal favorite of mine, that I can’t leave it out. I can’t go through this set of reviews without a tribute to the Dutch so here it is. This is so nice and crisp when it’s chilled properly, that it almost makes up for the quite low alcohol content. This is the sort of beer you keep stocked if you plan on having a lot of people over, good enough for a party, not quite good enough to accompany a good steak. It’s at the bottom of my list of 5 for a reason, but still makes the cut as it beats out all other light beers I’ve found.

SO, in light of the fact that you're all too drunk to even realize what's been posted, you are hereby ordered to research the origins of Taylor Ham, and report back on how it is superior to bacon. All Article 10 submissions will be held until this is completed.
FinsterBaby,
I take responsibility for this grievous error, and apologize for counting you among the many, the tardy, the noncompliants.
Your timely review was refreshing and delicious. And the addition of the breakfast ham was a creative turn.
If only the majority of your colleagues in IRON government had followed your honorable example.
Might I suggest they use this bike mod to scurry to the local adult beverage emporium to stock up, taste, and evaluate.
Best wishes,

Well done!

For the best possible reading experience, I recommend clicking the youtube linky and listen to some scintillating sitar while drinking in the wit and wisdom (or lack of same) this treaty represents.

Wow, reading your announcement drunk was both more entertaining and much easier to understand. WTF???
Considering it was written and assembled with the aid of a splash of tonic water and a liter and a half of gin, it would seem logical that reading it drunk would make it all the more enjoyable.

I look forward to the remaining reviews.

Yak,
The first 4 beers are my favorites and what I drink around the year. I stock up on Snow Cap during the winter so I can enjoy it though out the year. The first time I drank this beer was at a Rock Bottom where they had it on tap... I was surprised then how I gained a buzz from a beer so quickly. When I found it in the stores, I learned of its 7% ABV. This is my all time favorite beer. My number 2 beer which I have only recently discovered and can only find at one store so far, is Wheat Honey, I decided to give it a go because I have been drinking Summer Honey for the past 5 years or so. I polished off the last one I had last night and will have to make the journey to the only QFC I have found it at … which is not close to my home btw. When I first opened it I new I would like it, oh the sweet aroma that poured out … mmm reminded me of the feeling I got when I had my first Snow Cap. This has become my new summer beer to sit and sip while a BBQ up dinner for my Goslings. Ropewalk and Summer Honey both I had a the annual brew fest… Mis. Goose who is not a beer drinker loved Summer Honey. I liked the sweet malty flavor of Ropewalk and enjoyed drinking it as the air starts to cool, as you saw I mentioned it is not so good, imo, when the sweet nectar warms up so I don’t like to drink it during warm days. Summer Honey became my fall back beer when I ran out of my favs, I snag a bottle of the Mrs.’s, it soon grew on me …. Which lead me to get the Wheat Honey noted above. The Chili beer is the odd man out… The Goose loves hot… bring on the heat, the Goose loves beer so what better then a combo… I first heard about this maybe 8 yrs ago or so and thought I needed to try it. Problem was I could not find it anywhere. With the terms as they were I thought this was a good opportunity to continue on my quest for the illusive Chili Beer (now I wish I had not) luck was on my side, I had to take a business trip to So Cal so got a hold of Haralambdos Beverage Company (562-347-4300) and found a retail outlet in the area that sold Chili Beer. The flavor was not what I was expecting, Yeah it had heat but it lacked, maybe a habanero beer would be better they have a better flavor.
Now to address to usage of borrowed material I will not lie to you at all, of course I borrowed some material from what I consider expert writers on the subject, I believe that my effort to find the best wording rather than writing things like “the beer tastes good and has a thick texture to it”, added more benefit and produced a better product. I looked for reviews that described what I was experiencing.. was it all in my own words no not all of it, but I spirit was still there… I wrote my thoughts as I drank my beer then searched for better wording as I drank more of my beer… I can give you a count of each beer I drank to find the right words… In fact I will..
Snow Cap – 7
Wheat Honey – 8
Ropewalk – 5
Sumer Honey – 6 (I had to go to the store the next day so Mrs Goose would not be mad)
Chili Beer – 1 (I dared others in the Hotel to drink it
)Oh I must comment on this ... Oh yeah This is the Goose's Fav
You sir, restore my faith in humanity. I have brewed my own Apfelwein (a mead and hard apple cider blend) that, while stronger than a true beer (at 12% ASP), was effervescent with distinct apple and clover honey notes, and quite refreshing. I lament that I made only five gallons last Fall, a deficiency I plan to correct in the coming harvest season.

Grizz,
I'm pleased that you produced such a fine, well-rounded report. It has sparked a most enjoyable thread. I look forward to the evaluations of the other IRON leaders.
However, rumors are circulating that your missive may include material borrowed from sources other than your own fertile mind and trained palate. When these allegations were frist brounght to my attention, my initial reaction was this:
Dammit. My faith in human nature has been utterly destroyed.Who the fark cheats on a beer tasting assignment?
That's just not human.
My soul is crushed.
I must drown my sorrows. But not with beer. The pain is too much.
No, that bottle of Everclear is getting a workout tonight.
My liver says "Farewell Farkistan!"
The doctors say I probably will not require a liver transplant, and I should be up and around again in a few weeks. Meanwhile, I implore you to clarify this matter. Please let all know that you did, in fact, taste for yourself these five beers.
Best wishes,
Yak

Congratulations with the recent errections! Pray tell however where other wonderful periodicals in the same vein as the above Fark zombie survival guides may be purchased?
I will be happy to take care of all your zombie survival needs. All you need do is post your credit card number and social security or national ID number, and my good friend, the formal Minister of Works and Housing in Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mssr. Chief Tony Anenih will intend to your needs. He is in position of USD 20M which he intends to invest in Real Estate and factory in your country. He is looking for a reliable person that will help him to invest this money. In exchange, he will send you the entire Zombie Survival library, plus allow you to keep one quarter of the total proceeds of this transaction. But you must maintain in strictest confidence. Kindly update Mssr. Anenih if you can represent his interest or if there is any other lucrative Business in the area related to your field do not delay to keep me posted.

Glad this is over. Kudos to Fark, MHA & Gramlins for being extremely tough opponents and providing a better war than any I had ever faced and I fought all the wars IRON has been involved in.
As for those claiming these are light terms, Well, considering the 338 nations that are now under 1000 infra, I consider them to be decent and appropriate.
Thank you for the fun, gentlemen.
This was a most entertaining war. The IRON nations I fought did so with gusto, skill, and honor.
Article 10 is of considerable interest to me as well. For its ironic value, I suggest you include Iron City Beer in your evaluation. It is an old style lager brewed in Pittsburgh, PA.
Thanks to the nations of IRON for the most fun I've had in this game in a long time, and good luck in rebuilding.

Congrats on your erections FARK, I enjoyed the announcement. Did I see a Bacon gun...because if that were the case I believe it to be the single greatest invention in history. Lastly, on a depressing note beer rationing is a war-crime...for shame.
Yes, our Internal Security forces have all been issued the bacon guns.
Snipe your target, then enjoy a good breakfast!
As for the beer rationing, unfortunate, but necessary that the citizens make sacrifices so that we on Council are properly hydrated. Giving 4-hour speeches is thirsty work.

I assumed the MayDay calls was the FARKer I banzai charged; hes getting smashed up pretty bad considering Im getting dogpiled.
Hes a cool guy though, low threat level, DEFCON 5, I love the FARK war machine.
I hope the new FARK government encourages my guy to keep this up
Hail FARK o/
Did our guy offer beer and bacon to your invading troops?
It may be war, but that's no excuse to neglect good manners.
/And no, the "May Day" title centers on our alliance-wide May Day celebration.

Фаркистан: Соединенные и непобедимы o/ o/ o/ o/ o/
Farkistan: United and Invincible o/ o/ o/ o/ o/
Planet Bob is in radioactive turmoil, but despite the troop deployments, shortages of bacon grease, beer rationing (Wait! There's BEER rationing? OMFG, EVERYBODY PANIC) the peaceful people of Farkistan exercised their democratic rights to erect a new .gov.
In the glorious worker's paradise of Farkistan, Erections vote for you! These members of the Farkistan Auxiliary Protection and Security (FAPS) corps were on hand to maintain order during the erection.
Tensions rose as some nations in the alliance came under attack, but the reassuring presence of the FAPS Corps, armed with their newly issued BAK-47 rifles, allowed the proletariat to say who is up and which candidates just don't stand up.
Acts of sabatoge and the occasional power outage resulted in long lines at some erection stations. Citizens were orderly and paid little heed to the far off sounds of dogfighting aircraft, and the scream of incoming missiles.
There was joyous rioting in the streets as Farkistan's enemies courteously provided glowing fireworks displays above the major cities of Farkistan. The Great Leader wishes to extend his appreciation to those nations providing the fireworks, thus saving many dongs and ruples that would have been spent lighting up the traditional May Day celebration in a more conventional manner. As an added bonus, the lingering glow has allowed the Farkistan Electric Company to turn off streetlights at night to conserve energy.
Thanks IRON!
Immediately following the erection, Council met in special session. New Speaker of Council Fluoroalien addressed the people and his fellow Council members, Ackbarican Idol, Spanky22, as well as newcomers Raving MainyYak, and RandomlyJim. Yak and Random were drunk with power and knocked over some bottles in the Council Lounge bar prior to the meeting. The only casualty was a broken bottle of Stoli.
A huge thong throng of supporters filled Drew Square to celebrate the erection of a new Pope of Pope Rodger as Farkistan's new Squirrel. His Nuttiness faces the task of keeping Farkistan's friends close and her enemies glowier closer.
No May Day celebration would be complete without a mighty display of military peens. And our Great Leader, Submitter Emperor Norton I had the best view of the parade, in this rare image in which he is seen without his harem herd of war zebras.
Joyous citizens drank a toast to the Subby, then dashed their bottles of Stoli to the ground in an age old Farkistani custom.
Congratulations to the erected leaders of Farkistan:

Emperor Norton I
Squirrel:
Pope Rodger
TotalFark Council:

Yet again Fark manages to erect drunks, perverts and bedwetters.
You forgot furries.

The Fools! They don't know the hellish month they are in for... Ahh, congrats to your new Council.
And Yes, Nuke squealing like a pig is okay. Sometimes it's better than okay.

Hush your mouth Matt! It is impossible to use "Guinness drafts" and "too many" in the same sentence.
I've enjoyed the Newcastle and the Grolsch (The Grolsh bottles have been recycled a few times with my own home brews). The Leffe looks quite interesting.
The Aussie beers add just one more reason why I need to convince Mrs Yak that spending 20 hours in planes and airports is worth it for a antipodal holiday.
