A friendly place for friends who drink

**** cruises... that's like, the worst thing I can imagine.

But that's just my opinion.

The engineers are playing russian roulette with gross jellybeans. I hope they ask me so I can just straight-faced, eat some dirty socks, vomit and toothpaste jellybeans and ask for more. As long as I can get past all the sugar, the flavors don't matter.

But that's just my opinion.

Having just got back from one... I can say that I could never do it again and not feel like I'm missing anything.

It wasn't awful like I'd anticipated, but I could certainly think of better ways to spend a week and several thousand dollars.

 

[m00ps]

Yeah, if you're not in a hurry in the first place, just let it go.

When I'm on an abbreviated schedule like this, infections are my last concern. As long as the first week of the ferment is clean, I take my sample and keg like 3 days later. No chance for anything to really take hold.

That said, I've never had an infection and I've put a dirty old VHS in my beer.

That was a ditry VHS case. There's a difference. If the actual tape rolls were exposed it would've made you beer the pride of the rock

..a week and several thousand dollars.

Ugh. Throw in god knows how many people you're stuck on that floating coffin with and yeah. That's my Hell.

Pretty much. I likes my freedom. Don't stick me on a floating germ factory and tell me when I can eat. Nope.

yea man, two, three days after your typical no boil method and decoction. Dry hop using used gym socks for 12 weeks for maximum affect...this is all accurate, right?
Owly would back me up on this

Wrong. He doesn't have time to suffer you between his nanosecond epic efficiency brew days

I completely forgot about them. Would be great to visit there

Mornin'. Coffee.

Lucky me, today feels like Thursday, since Friday (and next Monday!) are stat holidays.

Nice man, have a good time. Its been a long while since I last was on a cruise. The vessels they are coming out with now are just monstrous and somewhat overwhelming. It was easy to get somewhat lost on the cabin levels when you were a bit tipsy...add a few more levels and triple the length of the ship and its just going to get messy

Thanks, it should be fun. We've been on a couple cruises together. SWMBO's family did that as their family vacations for a long time, so she's been on a bunch and loves them. I'm a little more on the fence: I like how the food, lodging, etc. are all included, but it kinda sucks if you find a port you really love and want to stick around longer, you're still stuck to the ship's schedule if you don't want to get left behind. I also start to get antsy wandering around the ship around the 5th day.

At any rate, it's a week away from work, which I really need right now.

I think I might have gotten one of their beers in a trade last year. I'll check it out.

Also, flocc off. These damn heathens won't let me have this most religious of holidays off. I should be afforded the time to worship the Easter bunny however I see fit.

Wait... are you saying you don't get Good Friday off? Come on now... also that reminds me of this amazing page I found this morning.

Cracked had a good article on those illustrations once. Before they went crazy clickbait style, that is.

This is all that matters, really. Time away from work, spending the time with the people you would rather be spending it with.

You can borrow my Harpy Ester™ name for your hoppy blonde if you want. But gotta send me one.

I'm looking forward to 4 days of being off work. I've earned it.

And yeah, it still has the googly eyes... wanna fight about it?

Everything is coming up Millhouse!

 

[joshesmusica]

I think it was Alta we flew into, I can't recall where we flew out of, but it was certainly different. They didn't give us the name of the location, and I have a feeling that it may be close to a place where they store gear.

I did overhear them talking about being only a bit from the Finnish border

Gotcha. Yeah that's extreme weather up there. Here's a photo of where you were vs where I was. Everything above about where the word Sweden lays is about what people think of when they think of Norwegian weather. Everything below that is pretty temperate for the most part, unless you're high up in the mountains.

They are good and worth a stop. Funky Buddha is just so much farther along than most in Ft Laud, there's not a whole lot.

All day.

I want an all day ipa. Funking bored dude.
Nothing going on at work.
Nothing going on at fpffwd.
Thinking about making my own label thread to help people out. The one I tried to help on is so many people that want fancy logo's.

One great thing about this country formally having a state church: Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday I make 233% my already ~$21/hr! Earning all that extra to go blow it on beer in Prague next weekend!
