A friendly place for friends who drink

My bucket list turned that direction and ended up in the trash. Still have not restarted making it.

Off Topic: Vandal Eyes with hops fading quickly now.

 

You are welcome! It's fantastic.

 

I've been watching a few of those a night when I am buzzed on the weekends. I have Venice queued up next.

Pleepleus is my spirit guide.

 

300+ posts to keep up, can't do it.

Beer Barrel Bourbon while watching House of Cards, then bed.

 

In case you didn't know, the show later became Drinking Made Easy. I think that was after it moved to Spike. Shame it didn't get picked up for more seasons. Thirsty Traveler is pretty good too but not near as funny.

 

I never could get into DME. No funny sound effects.

 

Gotta have funny sound effects.

 

Guess I need to revisit this because i don't remember the sound effects.

 

Mooseknuckle(TM) Cognac

 

If anyone knows of a better post workout beer, I'd like to know about it.

It's a large part of what set the show apart from others, including Zane's first show of the same ilk.

Every time he (or anyone) drinks, you hear the *gulp* sound, pouring anything out of the bottle and you get the "water pouring" sound, *sniffsniffsniff* like a dog when he is smelling anything, overly-exuberant "CLANG" when there's a toast, and lots of others. Even Pleepleus gets his monkey noises when they show him!

 

Puzzle half done. Time for another beer.

I keep seeing references to some incident earlier in the day. I'm not sure I want to know what it was. Seems there are issues on other threads that spill over here? Dunno. I guess I'm good with having only a couple non-technical threads I bother with and skipping all that. This thread has all the banter I need.

2nd glass of Tartan then bed.

 

We did a crossover episode with the TR.

Seriously. Busch Light after a workout. Best.

I'm pretty sure any beer after a workout is best.

 

I envision something like this. Slym before the rumble with the Sharks I mean Tap Room.



How close am I?

 

Another half pour, then bed.

 

The spill over started coming out of here, not into here. PKU.

The depiction of slymy as a clumsy Peter Griffin is close, but the rest is way off.

 

This.

And, nothing beats the spillover when that other website tried to spillover.



On topic: Flo IPA from Trinity Brewing to end my spring break. Long drive in the wind tomorrow will suck. So I might as well finish this growler...

 

It brightened up my afternoon and I got a few good needed chuckles for a monday.

Sierra Nevada Coffee stout. Better than last year and definitely would buy it agian if the first choice is sold out.

 

I'll PKU when you lot get jobs and stop leaving me 100 pages to go through when I get home

 

Water as a night cap. Wife is watching some terrible show about ghosts and their children. Ugh. Once she passes out the tv is going off.

 

Either way, this is the friendly thread. Let's not let the 2 threads merge into mass stupidity. Most of the friendlies don't hang out it the TR, with a few exceptions.

Watching Three Sheets: Munich right now. This so wants to make me take a trip to Germany for Oktoberfest.

 

Cawfay on the road.

 

That... is a very early start.

I... stay up way too late.

 

I stay up that late once in a blue moon and it takes me a week to recover. What is your normal amount of sleep - 3-4 hours?

 

Awesome show. Might need to bust out the DVDs and rewatch it. Morning. Coffee. No beers last night. There will be beers tonight.

 

Morning all. Still quite congested. Stupid allergies. The 1(5)-beer night didn't help either. Well, it did help me fall asleep quickly at least.

 

You obviously need to drink bigger beers then!

 

Didn't have to get up early today. SWMBO HS a meeting and couldn't find her coat...panicked...it was on the back if the floccin' coat rack. Quaffey. *#@$%

 

Yeah, 2 were 4.7% (store-strength here), 1 (x2) is 6%, 1 is 7.2%. I think the reason it didn't help was that I should've gone the 1(5)-shots of liquor kind of night. But all we got is some cheap-as rum.

 

Coffee. Work.

 

Morning all... full throttling. Learned some new close quarters techniques last night, which was awesome but wish I had known about them before the tournament. That's my weakest area.

Going to get some bottles cleaned out and bottle up what's left of the smoked porter off the keg... I decided that I'm going to let that DIPA sit another few weeks. Think I need some more kegs.

 

Do they involve shots to the groin region?

 

No, but there are two cheap shots.

Both are from when you're 'tied up' (fists touching)... the first is to come up and over their hands and punch their right hand as hard/fast as you can (while holding your sword). They go off balance and sets up a nice head strike.

The other is similar, but as you're coming out of the clinch, you put your sword in the crook of their neck and push down/over. Again, if they aren't expecting it, they go way off balance.

 

But the cheap shots are legal?

 

Is there a protocol for retreating to a safe distance and calling in an air-strike?

Seems like that would make the sport far more civilized.

 

Yeah, just kind of like dirty boxing.

Ideally, you're not going to score your points that way, but they are good techniques to try and catch your opponent off guard with.

It's roots are Japanese, and I don't want to take part in that kind of air strike.
