"Grumps" has the saga of Spulwasser, or "dishwater.", or: On historic beer

Soccer fans loyal to their "historic" beer, have gone to extreme lengths, such as removing their pants, in order to comply with soccer apparel rules. Click on the post for the full story from "Grumps."

Sometimes "design standards" can go too far. Sometimes when we establish total architectual historic uniformity, there might be some unintended consequences. I wonder if we established standards for quality dark German beer here in Evansville and ruled, after serious consultation with a cobweb of committees, that under historic guidelines, the "dishwater" beer was not appropriate, whether we might have riots also.

Ah the mystery.
