During the past dozen or so years, I have maintained a standing offer of
giving away one of these to the first person who finds the "Easter Egg" on
my personal not-for profit website. So far, nobody has come close.

So if you want to participate in an Easter morning egg hunt, here is a link
to a description of the ongoing contest:

http://pages.videotron.com/duffym/eas...

Referenced test: Somewhere on this web site is a hidden page. If you go
through all of the web page and library source code, you will find no
direct reference to it. Computer programmers will often refer to such a
hidden feature as an !Easter eggc.

The reward to the first person who successfully determines how to pop-up
the hidden page will be:

1) I will send you one of the maple butter chocolate confections described
on my favourites page.

2) I will put your name here, so that everyone will know how clever you are
at deciphering undocumented javascript.

PS: Sort of on-topic for javascript; cross-posted as well to some other
groups I commonly inhabit.

Well, I agree that Newcastle doesn't do much for me (although it is
significantly better on tap). But, I love a good brown ale, although
finding a good one isn't an easy task...

Can you list any commercially available "good" brown ales? If they're
out there, I've never found them.

Peace,

Stay away from the brown ale....

I go more for lagers and pilsners, but my latest highly enjoyable
quaff was a red, a Ribera del Duero: 1999 Uvaguilera Aguilera
Palomero, consumed on Saturday night with dry-aged rib-eyes with wild-
mushroom sauce, local corn and tomatoes (the latter with some
incredible feta from Astoria, Queens), grilled romaine, etc. The wine
had cherry and chocolate notes, long finish. Excellent wine.

Umm, a pilsner *is* a lager.

Lost Coast's Downtown Brown is a very good one... I liked the previous
Sierra brown that came out. I love the Rogue Hazelnut Brown, but
that's probably a little sweet for most people's tastes... I know
North Coast has a good one, I think it's one of their "Acme" beers..

Ah, narc, that's cold. d00d's bustin' out his best uber-pretentious
Astorian feta with the long notes and you gotta pop him for a beer
gaffe? Cold, I say.

Since I really don't like strong caramel flavors in beer, I don't
think I'll ever find a brown ale that I like, as the thing that makes
brown beer brown is caramelized malt. I might be able to deal with it
if there was a healthy dose of hops to balance it, but most brown ales
I've tasted have been essentially hops-free.

Peace,
Neil X.

All pilsners are lagers, but not all lagers are pilsners. He likes
pilsners, and other lagers too.

Yes, a pilsner is a lager. It's a wonder nobody's put a spike through
your head while packing for a trip, shopping, etc.

Heh. Yup. If you don't like brown ales, you probably won't find a
brown ale you like...
