Background:

On the afternoon of 17 October 1997, the members of Los Bike went on a bike ride. They enjoyed the trail at Mill Creek in Newburg, MO for several hours. Afterward, they decided to converge (after taking showers, that is) at the Bat Cave (Ed and Jason's) and eat. It must be noted that Ed is the best damn cook in the world.

While deciding what to eat (this took about 3 hours of hard TV watching to do), Pat and Q brought up an idea that they had been throwing around. "Why don't we do a malt liquor tasting tonight" said they. It was agreed that that was a pretty good idea. Pat and Q were put on malt liquor duty. The rest were on food patrol. About 40 minutes later, the Bat Cave was again full of Los Bike.

The meal was of true white-trash style. Lots of Macaroni and cheese, lots of tater-tots, and rotel cheese dip with tortilla chips. It must be noted that this is in fact not the usual Ed-style cooking. It was agreed to forego Ed's usual cooking and to veer toward a more white-trash style. They even had 40 ounces of ketchup to compliment the wonderful meal.

Only then did the tasting begin......
