The first thing that I came up with was phone books. Other suggestions? Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile. Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe) Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

(Some good ones are filling cans these days though.) Those can may not ruin a good craft brew, but the aesthetics and philosophy of that is wrong! Pocket knives and bic lighters can be used to open beer bottles, but then they are doubling as bottle openers.

They also have a monopoly on internet service unless we use satellite internet.
