You guys need to lighten up. Personally, I'm taking a trip to Mass in a couple years to get a pint of Spoiled Brat Pale Ale.
I dunno, I suspect that brew is unbelievably bitter...
Cheers from the Bahamas!

9 pages of endless entertainment. I don't post very much, but something I do know on my short time here is you don't mess with Yooper. Oh wait...I totally can't post on this forum because I don't live in Mass. We're ALL breaking the rules as set forth by the OP!
My favorite part is how he says over and over and OVER again that he "has the money", then comes out with this:
So he "has the money", but is also looking for an equally-financially-invested partner.

Hey, that reminds me- do NOT ask me to loan you 250K when I see you on Saturday! It's tied up in other "investments" at this time.
Hey Yooper, you have some money you could loan me? I have none to start a brewery, but I have a job, and have been brewing for a couple of years. I own a couple brewing books, and dream about owning a brewery... I did graduate from college, but don't feel as if I am an entitlement brat... Just PM me about wire transfer details, K?
Haha.
Haha.
Watch it pal. You'll be next!
Well, sort of. He took loans for the money. That's not the same as actually having the money.

Yeah I understand the difference for sure, was just paraphrasing.

You know what Airborne? You're alright. I don't care what Groove_Rock says about you!

And someone who, when someone disagrees with him, says things like "Helloooooo!! McFly!!!" Jeez, you spend as much time with your business partners as you do with your spouse. I've never heard my business partners speak to ANYone like that, let alone partners/employees.
And another thing - imagine this guy gets his brewery going. Potentially important customers come in like, say, the local homebrew club, LHBS employees or beeradvocate types. What's going to happen when they offer frank assessments of the beer or constructive criticism? Will he take it with grace and work to develop those relationships or will he say "F*** you, local homebrew club! You don't know what you're talking about, i know everything, McFly! Get out!!" What if they him the beer flat-out sucks?
I guess we'll never know.

Well THAT made for some interesting Thursday morning reading.
I never realized ol' man Yooper was such a bully. Meanie.
Seriously though - what on earth was that kid thinking? At 24, this couldn't have possibly been the first message board he ever posted to, could it? You just don't go picking a fight with a Moderator. Particularly the really reasonable ones like Yoop...

Implied assumption that he was, in fact, thinking. Assumption may very well be false.

I joined HBT just to reply to this thread. This was hilarious to read.
As a lifelong Massachusetts resident, there is no way Groove could be from anywhere else in the world except Massachusetts. He's got the Masshole attitude down to a science.

This thread was a rip off of the Jerky Boys skit where he calls for a job as a mechanic and the other one as a car salesman. Technically, I think he said he was from Cali. He had to get out of there because of some problems he had. So just imagine he's not a real m*sshole.
Maybe your him!
This thread was just wow. I'm sorry I missed it a couple of days ago, but glad it isn't locked yet.
As someone who teaches (college level) the OP was in no way surprising, yet all so sad. Knows it all already, and anyone who says otherwise sucks. Yet they don't understand why the world doesn't continue to give them everything they ask for when they ask for it. The ironic thing is that you never know who that investor might be, and the attitude chases them away. (Said from someone who was able to retire at a fairly early age and also knows people who could easily put up some investment $.)

You teach "college level" and you don't know the difference between your and you're? Maybe you're him!
Even better, I sometimes teach a Business Communications course and have also been a consultant for an online exam for Business Communications!
No wonder students can't communicate!

No wonder why so many of today's students have problems communicating.
Edit: Sigh. iPhone HBT App strikes again. The first post "failed" with a communication error, and I had to restart the app and retype the post. Nothing like a double post to illustrate a point.

What a read!
As an under-employed twenty-something Massachusetts resident, I would like to say... Nah, never mind. Judge me if you will, you silly generalist. :cross:
