What's the game?

Glad you were home, that could have been bad, just goes to show you that you should kill the water, power and gas each time you leave the house

See who breaks a body part first?

Hey guys check this. Searchable Simpsons screen caps. Memeable. I'm nerding out over here.

Schweet!

In other news I spent over 2 hours changing out the headlight bulbs in my Mazda. Whoever designed the retaining clips for them has a hooligan boot party followed by a curb stomp coming. I didn't know I could make whole sentences out of four letter words so I'm pretty proud of myself there. To make me feel better I went out and bought some fancy bourbon. That was a huge mistake because now the $20-$30 bourbon just isn't gonna cut it anymore. ****

I cut the heck out of my hand changing ours. Guarantee for shoot work?

Got stuck at the client site this morning. Finally getting breakfast at 0900. Grumble.

@bucknuts I think I questioned your clean/sour gear "obsession" when you mentioned you had different brewing equipment for sours. I was thinking you meant actual brew day equipment (mash tun, boil kettle, etc). If you only meant hoses, wine thief, carboys, bottling buckets, then I understand and do the same thing. If I had extra rooms, I'd do the same thing you are.

Coff and water.

Isolation is the best way to prevent cross-contamination fins

I think it's a great idea separating things like that. My only question is this.

Wouldn't it be best to store your lacto encrusted, dusty mill in the infected room. This would seem to be a potential vector of infection in your clean room.

Nit-picking for sure but for someone with separate rooms dedicated to clean/sour beers my guess is you're the kind of person something like that might bother.

[Rhetorik]

Coffee. Lots of coffee.

Had to resist the urge to open up the pound of amarillo that was sitting on my doorstep at home and take a big whiff... it's now sitting in the fridge, waiting to be unleashed.

I had thought the same about the mill.

I didnt even notice the mill was in the clean room. I keep my grain completely separate from all my equipment and even keep the mill separated from that. My mill is isolated all by its lonesome.

Tfw you run so much your nipples bleed. Apparently some runners tape them. Would have been helpful to know.

@Qhrumphf How far did you go?? I get bloody toes and black nails if I don't keep my nails trimmed or if my shoes are too small/tight. Only chafed nips once in a cold half marathon.

Not at all. Clean room.

Any other precautions? Safety showers? Hazmat suit? Positive air pressure in the clean room?

Modified A.

I don't own my own machine... however, if there is karaoke and beer, I'm getting up there.

Crowd favorites that I do often:

1. Tom Sawyer - Rush
2. Whiskey in the Jar(o) - Metallica
3. LA Woman - The Doors
4. Purple Stain - Red Hot Chili Peppers
5. Sober - Tool
6. Cold Shot - SRV

And like, 100 others. I love it. I used to sing and play guitar in a few bands, but killed the dream around 2006. Now it's the only way I can sing in front of people that isn't weird or too much work.

I wasn't going to talk to you guys today, but this got me. I'll give you a modified B. It's disgusting. As a musician, nothing hurts my soul more than people wailing into a microphone with no sense of pitch. That being said, it takes a lot of booze for me to open up and requires music that public karaoke venues don't offer. The only time it's happened is at a handful of parties. The music I'll consider is in the range of Alkaline Trio/Deftones... though I've thrown down a few times with my friends and Dropkick Murphys. There is a bar downtown that recently opened up which has live band karaoke. Cool idea, if you're into that ****.

Now that you've dragged me out of my judgmental, moody corner of the room...

Coffee with a dash of ennui and a side of water with lemon.

Obviously the people that suck at singing have no business being up there, and that is 9th Circle territory.

I get applause and have even had standing-o's after my more energetic performances. There's good and bad for sure... but I really enjoy seeing someone go up and knock it out of the park.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

BGBC - it is to be avoided like the plague. Coffee is not working today. This is how my morning has felt.

 

[blizzard]

Catching up here.

Did she mention that she's also makin' bacon?! No, seriously. Bacon!

Damn.

I started to change mine, gave up, decided I didn't want to pay someone else to do it and tried again, then gave up again and paid someone. Thanks for confirming that I was not qualified for this job.

e have this one professor that feels he can do what he wants...

Hey, I've worked with him!

A. Unmodified. We never use the thing though. I do love karaoke bars though. Off pitch nervous embarrassed singing is hella fun to watch. I'll bust out a Johnny Cash song or two, as I know the public limits of my own voice. I went nuts once and sang the NIN version of Hurt in my JC voice and made more than a couple of people cry. The things I do for art.

There was a dude who brought his own death metal mixes to a bar we used to frequent. CAD, maybe you should try that.

Excellent platform to drunkenly state to a room full of strangers how much you hate your ex and the high probability that a can of half rotten tuna would make for a better lover than them.

Add beer and freshly cooked deep fried food to the mix and isolate music to the group and you've got a winning combo.

KTV is a blast but you really have to be sauced. The korean videos that go with the hits are hillarious. Johnny American and his gal feature often (at least in the western hits I blast out)

KTV. Press a button for beer/food orders.

This. is not so good. I'll answer B here

 

[Rhetorik]

Big fan of korean-style karaoke where you and your friends are in a big room, stocked with cases and cases of beer, and the music is loud enough you can't really hear yourselves sing.

Ain't nobody going to stop me singing I Want It That Way either.

Some other faves would be Ruby Tuesday, Thrift Shop, a variety of 90s pop, etc. I'm pretty much the only one that would like to introduce hard rock and hiphop into the rotation sadly... I don't want no Taylor Swift bollocks, especially since I have a deep voice and can't sing that crap at all.

I don't death metal.

If I remember right, it was certainly open karaoke on a cruise ship. and that I ruined the rest of her week

You strike me more of a derp-metal kind of guy

The KTVs in China are a bit different.

It's usually you, the factory rep/owner and a few scantily clad females that want you to sing Desperado by The Eagles and join them for some extra curriculars in the next room while the next guy is up.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Just got an email from the local beer store. They're selling some old bcbs, coffee, and barleywine next week. Looks like I'll be going to pick up some yes!

More coffee.

That's sounds OK. I'm not changing my answer. You still get fried chicken, right?

Are probably trying to offload the recall bottles. Are they charging extra for the pre-aging?

 

[finsfan]

RyePA sample, post dryhop. I feel like psy taking all these samples.

Is it infected?! What the esters in my beer?! Should i dump it?! Nah, ill drink it. Maybe not? Is it the hops? Those damn buckets funked the beer, it wasn't me! I quit!!
