A friendly place for friends who drink

[TobyG]

we are moving into debate territory here, so my final comment on it is this:

If it's your water, then fix my roof when YOUR (federal government or whoever owns the rights) water damages MY property (hail) and get your snow off my driveway or i'll charge you a storage fee.

In that same vein, I will only reply with:

That's exactly the issue.

This is my lunch. Irish red on nitro.

Hi, only an hour to go.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

They say everything is bigger in Texas, but those lupine, not so much.

Visit in July August or September. Sunny, not too hot, and really long days.

Believe it not, that's my first picture of a flower living here in 22 years. Had to Google it!😒

Golf bud traveled to Idaho last August. Hear 4 rounds are possible in a day.

Old CO saying: whiskey's for drinking, water's for fighting

I thought it was: "In the West, we fight over water, whisky, and women. In that order."

Pretty sure it was Ben Franklin that said it.

Yeah, water law in the West is a mess....an extremely complicated/contradictory mess...

There are a few varieties of lupine (TX bluebonnet are one type). My parents had freakishly big alpine lupine that grew in their yard. I wish I had gotten some seeds.

At Odd Side. I recommend the Troll Toll. Not sure about Punky Brewster. I think I like tangerine of my rye but I haven't decided yet.

Hoppy Amber HB and about to make salsa

I hate this time on Friday. Getting tortured with beer pics when I still have 1 hour of work and ~45 min drive home.

You can work my Friday night shift instead. I don't get to go home for another 5.5 hours. Then a half hour commute home.

Only if you promise not to torture me directly with the @tagging

 

[DrunkleJon]

Am I guilty of that? If not I can be.

 

[geoffey]

Yes that's me floating.. My former avatar until I received the brilliant one from @Pslyocide (which now seems moot and deletable as it just make me look like a tit) was from the groundbreaking "Real Ale Twats" (always find it funny that UK rude words are not censored on HBT) in Viz.



I'm probably ole. TR old not sure but ole e-bloody-nough.







Those beers all look terrible. I know there are threads on Hoof hearted and heir ugliness and hilarious laissez-faire name. Look like yeast starters to me.







So like most of them then.



Carson city

lansing

Trenton

Sacramento

Austin

Olympia

Salem

Baton Rouge

Lincoln

Springfield

etc











For certain no government unless WW3







Peasant! (!)







Banned for posting in his usual manner I'd guess.







Thanks P. You still here?







BMDM Thanks. QOTD I'll miss.









Not me. Best of luck with the bar Jon. My well wishes stand sincere.







Thanks for the +1 Q. Means a lot coming from a solid like yourself.







P. They were broken. That is vey clear to you as well as to me.

My platform 2016



Just pick up as t'were before.



No need to change our up-until-recently normal behavior as it was clearly fine.



One erroneous swallow doesn't make a summer .Place it to onesie, file it away and move on.



Let's be friendly. All of us. Lets have fun. I have fun here and feel strongly enough to write this douchey post.



Laugh at me as you may, to me it's worth it for I value the virtual friendships I have gleaned here. I sure as flock don't make many friends changing nappies and reading HBT online in the dark as I put kids to sleep.



Im not tapped or otherwise, i don't Facebook, gram,snap, imag, vox or Line. HBT is my nerd outlet. Good to know others are similarly nerded.



I'm never going to queue for a beer release or know about the latest seasonal saison/BBAQ but I sure do enjoy learning about your exploits.



HBT needs a place for all of this nonsense. This thread is the place for that. It rightfully belongs here and some of us have made that happen (not me I'm an ignoramus when it comes to beer). I am one but of a few beer-idiots that have learned a ton from y'all. It should continue. "The needs of the many etc..."

HBT may need a place for such nonsense, but it unfortunately doesn't seem to be on HBT. Sorry. But the issue isn't about "doing what the police say" i.e. Following the rules. It's about the lack of consistency of how the rules are enforced and the arbitrary manner of the police state. To take your analogy further: When the police abide by brutal practices, favoritism and won't allow any criticism of their technique then it may be a moral imperative to fight back. When a police state is instituted for unjustified reasons you do not just sit back and say "it's the police, abide by their rules or you asked for it!"

It's not a literal analogy, so take it for a simple comparison. I'm just saying I think you're missing the point of what the real rub is. The fact is there is now a better place to chit chat, by just about any measurement. Why bother with this one? It's only a matter of time before more BS occurs and this thread gets shut down because it makes someone feel better about themselves. We aren't their customers apparently.

With that, goodbye.

Lets not poke the bears by discussing or criticizing the moderation. That has gotten threads shut down in the past and does not hold true to the friendliness of this thread.

I am sorry to see you quitting this thread (site?)

 

[geoffey]

A place where friendly, open, free discussion isn't tolerated isn't a friendly place by definition.

Beer and food, I think I like this thread.

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

I have not cooked anything picture worthy lately, I should fix that.

 

[banesong]

Wow.. quotes long time coming

Try this on for size....30sec from downtown Austin.

I am assuming that is the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Loved that place, only made about 4 miles on it.

Morning all. For the sake of Texas solidarity, my office view. Not so awesome beyond those trees though.

Is that @GavinTheUntaggableScienceMang's estate?

Ding Ding Ding! Good catch. A nice quick grill with some olive oil. Add as a garnish to Bulgogi or Kalbi (or main dish, you choice), and it is tasty.

Some bier, mumble mumble.

Why dag still have ballz?

 

[banesong]

Why dag still have ballz?

Snipped, not removed!

 

[ChefRex]

Snipped, not removed!

GTFO! They do that for dags? Any chance it's reversible just in case like you change your mind and all or is it a vanity

 

[iijakii]

Why dag still have ballz?

They remove the testes but not the sack. It shrinks and absorbs back into the body over the course of a few months. Less recovery time and stitches etc than if they removed the whole sack.
