A friendly place for friends who drink

[iijakii]

Hah. Fat people.

 

[m00ps]

Id be happy to start a friendlier place for friends who drink if it comes down to it

 

[Rhetorik]

Followed-up with Beergrains.com (who I bought the Barley Mill from) about the damage to the 15lb hopper. Super-quick response and resolution - I couldn't be more satisfied. They're located about 2 hours away from Ottawa in Deep River, and one of their staff is driving to an event on Sunday at a pub about a 10 minute walk away from me and he's bringing a free replacement hopper and will deliver it to me on Sunday morning.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

We didnt do anything. We are still friendly.

 

[iijakii]

I'm way more friendlier than the rest of you fkers

 

[Zekk]

Plus I don't think the people here have an itchy report finger. Mouse? Keypad? However you report stuff, I'm not judging.

Its always nice when stuff like this works out. I used my new BC last weekend and like it a lot. Wish I had the 15 lb hopper, mine just has the 7.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Weird Al lyrics of all time (is that a thing?):

"Well I know I'm a million times as humble as though art!"

 

[drainbamage]

Note to self: don't FTF anybody.

[Rhetorik]

Brother and father can't do a beer lunch. I'm sad.

Shawarma instead though, which is acceptable.

Damn y'all get busy when I don't have time to check in. Got my Irish red bottled last night, warm and flat sample was farkin delicious. I think I brewed it too soon, not likely I will have any left for St Patrick's unless I keep the bourbon shelf stocked...

Home roasted coffee blend this morning. Damn good

Wasn't @finsfan just looking for an Irish red recipe??

 

[DrunkleJon]

Yesh, people seem determined to make the mods close all my favorite threads. Oh well.

This has been an interesting day. They are trying to rebrand our help desk. Changing my phone answering greeting from help desk to service center (what are we an automotive or appliance repair shop?) is going to be a terribly difficult habit to break.

I want a beer. Where is my red binder?

 

[iijakii]

I don't recommend storing beer in a binder.

 

[Helly]

Have you considered naming your babies iijakii? From what I hear, all of the cool kids are doing it.

I hadn't but I'll add it to the list. How do you pronounce that again?

There are many, and they are all the right way.

How far out are you guys? Gotta be getting close.

 

[Zekk]

The baby name advise I was given and listened to was to go outside and yell the full name. If it didn't sound right you couldn't use it when they're in trouble.

I was, then decided to do a cross between an american red ale and a pale ale, a Red Pale Ale if you will.

 

[banesong]

Those kind of look like pasties. Where is Yooper? I'm sure she is a connoisseur of pasties.

Yup, just without rut-veggitals. Oh, and if you want to summon her, you need to say @Yooper with reverence.

Wish they made more of the IT Crowd.

Belly full of office chilli competition foodstuffs, debating calling my entire staff into a two hour long Friday afternoon meeting in a small conference room. Wonder who's sense of smell is the worst and will last the longest.

I hide mine in magazines

Reported.

Alright... back on track before this whole thing goes down in flames.

What incredible arrogance!!! How dare you post cat gifs without my permission!! This is completely unacceptable and contemptible. If you do not like my use of cat gifs, then do not read my posts but DO NOT POST CAT GIFS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.............EVER!!!!!!!

Fajita and bucket of Corona's on lunch.
The fire has been lit.
DGAF mode activated.
2-3 hours until Operation PKU Weekend is go.
