General Beer Chatter

Threadnannying by non-moderators. Alas, I blame DD for this...

<grins>

I had another present for you, but I drank it. Along with a lot of other stuff. Car travel with a hangover through mountain roads is not a good thing.

I'm off the train. Whee! Thank the girls for the new fridge art, dude. :)
Train was interesting, but still not very restful in the sleep department.

Woo! Enjoy the Fawlty Towers.

Lemme' know when you want to have a little beer sampling, er, open your gifts, too.

No, last night won't work for me.  Heh.  Pick again. 

Got home late, it's raining and miserable, I'm out of beer and way too lazy to go out and get some, but the kids have left some Coors Light Silver Bullets here.

It's not real beer at all is it? It's just a yellow, bubbly, cold, alcoholic product.

Pretty blechhy, really.  Kind of like the owner of the company.  Hee.

I can give you a hint about your gift, Frosti - think Stone Brewing.

 

 

http://www.arrogantbastard.com/

here's their website...

I was wondering who got the domain name that was rightfully mine.

I think they're done you proud, Steve.

I thought yours was TheOriginalArrogantBastard.com, Steve.

That's a bit twee, don't you think?

I think the phrase twee is a bit twee, but that may just be me.

Not to be pedantic, but "twee" is a word, not a phrase.^

I knew you were gonna say that. Allow me to restate, for the pendantic among us.

I think the phrase "a bit twee" is a bit twee, but that may just be me.

<grins and mutters about how my original url suggestion is so very appropriate>

Sigh, and I realize pedantic is misspelled.

That coor's light would go to the back of my fridge...only to either get thrown out or be poored in next fall with my brats.

Well, obviously - it has the word "stone" in it.  Don't want people looking at http://www.stonernet.org/ or http://www.geocities.com/stonerheadlounge/main.html at work, now do we. 

I think davis is saying that he's reached the proverbial back of his fridge, and all that's left is Coors.

Worse than the back of the 'fridge, I was out in the garage looking at party leftovers sitting on the window sill.

We can get "The Arrogant Bastard" stuff here.

How did you like the Arrogant Bastard, Davis?  Or haven't you tried it yet? 

Any beer in a storm. Heh.

<Edit> Oh and, I enjoyed the hell outta my Sam Adams over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Is There A HELL?
 
 
 
 The following is supposedly an actual question given on a
 University
of
Washington



chemistry mid-term. The answer by one
 student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with
 colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have
 the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
 
 Bonus Question:
 Is Hell exothermic, (gives off heat),--- or endothermic, (absorbs
 heat)?
 
 Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's
 Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or
 some variant.
 
 One student, however, wrote the following:
 
 First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.
 So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell
 and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely
 assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
 Therefore, no souls are leaving.
 
 As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the
 different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these
 religions state that if you are not a member of their religion,
 you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
 religions and since people do not belong to more than one
 religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
 
 With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number
 of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the
 rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states
 that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the
 same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls
 are added.
 
 This gives two possibilities:
 
 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which
 souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will
 increase until all Hell breaks loose.
 
 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of
 souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until
 Hell freezes over.
 
 So which is it?
 
 If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my
 Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep
 with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her
 last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that
 Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of
 this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it
 is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
 extinct...leaving only Heaven, ---- thereby proving the existence
 of a divine being,
 --------- which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting
 "Oh my God."
 
 THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

Keep exercising, don't want to throw your back out washing dishes.  :)

That is pretty funny though.  Poor Dave.

Dr Munro:My studies have established without a doubt that children are, by adult standards, insane!

Johnny:And that's bad?
Dr Munro:Well, sure!
Johnny:So what should we do about it?
Dr Munro:Round the little guttersnipes up!

Found that on the WKRP site you sent me, thought it should go to a caring parental type.  :)

Is there other place that is set up like "vinepark" in minnesota?

I gotta buy a gift for 2 guys.....and I'm outta ideas.

 

www.vinepark.com/where you can go and "brew" for like $125 and then bottle it and then take it home....

any other places like that....sorry.

Holy crap, Kitch - you can buy a complete Homebrewing starter kit at Northern Brewer for less than that, and just buy the fixings for the next batch at a fraction of the cost!  http://www.northernbrewer.com/starterkits.html

BTW, Frosti - Jack says that they have greatly expanded the selection and lowered the prices at NB.  Might have to plan a field trip.  :)

 

Its a gift for two guys that don't want to brew at home.

Maybe I could have them come over to your house....make the mess there.....heh....

 

nah...I bought some nice pint glasses today ...and going to buy them some of the "growlers" from Town Hall Brewary.

Volunteer assistant brew dude reporing for duty, sir!

How did you like the Arrogant Bastard, Davis?

It is very beery!
