I've never seen the point in losing control of your senses

Same here. And it's not like you're incapable of being social while drinking something nonalcoholic anyway.

Monopoly's just a matter of luck anyway. It's like a grownup version of Snakes and Ladders that takes 10 times as long to play and leads to more arguing.

I suppose it could be useful for teaching people concepts like random walks and stochastic processes.

One of the many things that you americans have that I want... Root Beer

What's it taste like?

Imagine soda, like Coca-Cola or Pepsi, but if it were actually delicious.

Or as Mousa puts it, the Drink of the Gods.

...I am suddenly craving a Root Beer Float...

@Mousa: Yes, birch beer is delicious. Now I'm convinced that we're going to have an argument about what the best root beer brand is. I like Stewert's myself.

Also, the Apple Family obviously plays Apples to Apples on a regular basis. And also Settlers of Catan, because it's awesome.

Ginger, you are missing out, how is there no root beer in the UK? It's what I imagine butterbeer tastes like only butterbeer would be ten times better.

I can't describe it, I believe it's called "malt" or something, or perhaps aged vanilla.

But Root Beer isn't reall non-alcoholic beer, it's a kind of pop. It tastes nothing like beer! It's made from sasparilla, and shit.

Which, come to think of it, is what it probably tastes like, if you can ever get your hands on some of it.

But Root Beer is fairly unique among pop in that it is brewed, which means that the flavors can vary a lot between brands - you can get gourmet root beer which tastes absolutely phenomenal.

Ginger your not missing out. Root Beer is awful.

The fact that it tastes nothing like beer is a huge point in it's favor.

How about we let him get some and decide for himself?

I have sampled delicious gourmet root beers in my youth but with no foresight to study their brands, but they are bloody brilliant and I wish for more in the future.

I prefer Barq's myself. Ah... All this talk about root beer makes me want to go out tomorrow to the nearest Malt Shop and order a root beer float. For those wondering, that's basically Root Beer + Ice Cream.

It is amazing.

Oh yeah, ponies. So, I'm gonna make a random guess and say Spitfire will appear in tomorrow's episode and it'll turn out that she too is a fan of Indiana Pony, thus Rainbow Dash will accept her love of reading because a Wonderbolt loves it.

This article

contains what appears to be an even-more-extended synopsis of "Read It and Weep", but it might only be specific about the part relevant to the preview clip: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic airs the all-new episode Read It and Weep this Saturday, February 4th, only on The Hub. When Rainbow Dash is stuck in the hospital after an injury, she discovers the joys of reading, but tries to hide her new hobby from her friends for fear of being an "egghead" herself. She soon falls in love with an action-adventure book that centers on a female "Indiana Jones" type pony character, but can she finish her book before her friends discover her secret? Find out in this exclusive clip, which pages homage to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I'm laughing at the accidental Ho Yay of the abbreviated version (used elsewhere on the site): Rainbow Dash falls in love with an Indiana Jones-type pony character in this latest episode, airing February 4th on The Hub. I thought the romance episode wasn't until next week!

Where do you get sasparilla? I've wanted to try some ever since playing Fallout New Vegas, and Pinkie mentioning it makes me want it more, but I have no idea where to get some.

@Crow I have no idea. My dad just came home with a bottle one day.
