The Union Forever: A TL

First female supreme court justice is bit earlier than in OTL, right? Anyway, has there been already female secretary on American government?
 
You should try it, if you like beer. It's great. A great example of how 'all American beer sucks' is patently false.

Amen to that! Unfortunately it's pretty much impossible to get it west of the Mississippi River :(. All points east, however, and it's really easy to get (especially from Connecticut to Georgia).
 
  • In August, the novel Pilgrim in a Strange Land is published. A semi-autobiographical account written by Chinese-American author Huan Chung Wu, Pilgrim in a Strange Land details the plight of teenager Ru Chan under the brutal Japanese occupation of Hainan during the late 1950s. The book quickly became an international best seller and today is considered one of the best works of the 20th century. Unsurprisingly it was banned in the Empire of Japan for “seditious historical inaccuracies”.

What exactly were the Japanese doing to the people of Hainan?
 
I can find it all over the place here in Columbia, MO.

Really?! I've yet to see it in Texas or Louisiana! Well, looks like I'm going on a Missouri-bound roadtrip in my future :D. I suppose being next to the Mississippi means it's more readily available than in the Southwest.

I will buy you a beer. There is a bar here that has it on tap most of the time.

Anyway, great update, Mac.

I took a look at the Yuengling distributors on their website (http://www.yuengling.com/distributors) , the only states that aren't on the Atlantic seaboard with Yuengling distributors are Ohio and Tennessee, which means the closest distributor to Texas is either Pensacola or Memphis. Also check out the beer finder at http://www.yuengling.com/distributors2/ , (and I checked, nothing within 100 miles of Dallas.
 
-You...you've gone and made Yuengling the national beer :eek:. Mac, I think I might love you now, I'm just givin' you fair warning. It's not everyday you see such awesome brew get its just desserts! Although the other beer brands you listed sound appetizing as well (well, maye not Schlitz, but the others do :p).

Well, Schlitz is an inherently funny word, so it makes up for it (and yes, I thought long and hard about what I could add to the alcohol debate, and that was the best I got).

You're on, I'll be sure to PM you when I'm fixin' to go :D. Missouri, of all places, man that's awesome.

Oh no argument here about the funny name, it just doesn't taste any better to me than PBR or Natty Ice :p.
 
I wouldn't know about that. Like Beedok, I don't drink alcohol (though in my case it may have something to do with being underage).

I'm sorry to hear that. Take it from a beer snob like yours truly, those beers are like nasty bread-water. Should you ever get around to trying quality beers, try Yuengling, Shiner Bock, Newcastle, Guinness or smaller craft beers. Those are absolutely delicious :D.

Well considering their tender ministrations of occupied territory OTL, and their prejudice against the Chinese, I would hazard a guess at nothing good.

Then again perhaps the Japanese are slightly different ITTL and are gentler masters, but from the sounds of things its not likely.
