A friendly place for friends who drink

It's nice to have the old thread (mostly) back, Bro-Magnon Man.

Really just trying to play nice, Napoleon Bronaparte

However on the bright side they are always happy to see you.

Best part of a 12hr shift, coming home to wagging tails.

Exactly, its just out like our own private Idabro.

Theres no reason we can't all be brofessionals here

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

Austin certainly has some less-bad places around it, but it doesn't compare to what the PNW has to offer. I've spent plenty of time around all of Texas. It just doesn't compare in the slightest.

 

[1977Brewer]

In my bropinion, I feel it's best.

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

I hear he has the fairest skin in all of Texas.

There are songs and poems written about it.

He just called you the prettiest in all the dumpster fire.

I'll take what I can get. Where's my ribbon.

It is you all that have nice views of photosynthesis that make me hate working so close to downtown.

The Greenbelt is awesome.

Lived on the Pacific coast, Santa Cruz area, for many years, understand what you mean. Buddy moved up to Portland in October. Said it never got above 50 nor any sun until March. All about location in relation to the cascades I hear. Want to visit SO bad, wife wants to slit wrists just thinking about going to PNW. Ha!

Okay Friendly Friends and others, I'm hosting a beer giveaway open to all the usual suspects.

Hunter's RockPaperScissors Overly-Complicated Beer Giveaway!

Rules:
1) Anyone who wishes to participate will need to send me a PM.
2) Signups will close the evening of Sunday April 17th.
3) All those signed up at that time will be divided up into a bracket system, pairing competitors into twos.
4) For each round of the bracket, opposing competitors will PM me their throw - Rock, Paper, or Scissors.
5) I will then announce who threw what and who the winners are, and advance to the next round.
6) Repeat ad nauseum until only one Champeen remains.
7) Winner gets beer! Will it be Big Flats? Let's hope not.

Signups begin... meow!

Yeah all that green certainly has a high price. Dec-Feb is nonstop rain pretty much. To me the spring and summer makes up for it, but can understand why others would disagree.

Rain, snow or 100F summers. Gotta live with one in 99% of places.

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.

I have a great view from the office, but always take horrible photos of it. Imagine the Capitol, part of downtown and the foothills with some big mountains behind it.

 

[1977Brewer]

I'll take the heat.

I said I'd take the heat but I'd move to Denver tomorrow.

 

[hunter_le five]

I've never much considered moving from Texas, but Colorado was the first place I've ever visited where I thought to myself, "yeah, I could live here".

Still one of my favorite states to visit. Haven't been in a couple years though.

Colorado FTW. I miss Seattle a lot, but need sunshine to survive. Denver is a great place to live.

 

[iijakii]

Gavin in Seattle right now:

 

[drainbamage]

I'd really like to spend some time in Colorado and the PNW. I haven't done much traveling west of the Mississippi except San Francisco and Las Vegas.

Ah, now we see what your REALLY into...

Hey all,

I received a message from Slym2none. He wanted me to relay to you guys that he unfortunately has been banned from this site. And unjustly in his opinion. He wanted you guys to know that he just didn't disappear on you all.

I personally am dissapointed. I've dealt with Slym on another site for a couple of years, and he has always been someone I could ask all questions relating to beer and food. Replying with insightful info, and humor. I am homebrewing, and on this site because of him. I hope he is not permanently banned, or it is at least reconsidered.

 

[Brizzo]

Man all I want to do today is dat drink and cut brush. Stupid work

I've never much considered moving from Texas, but Colorado was the first place I've ever visited where I thought to myself, "yeah, I could live here".

It's been a while since I looked, but located in the SE corner a county where land was like 2K/5 acres in a moderate temperature location, averages 30F winter and 85f in summer. Could build a 30K self sustaining tiny home and retire. But, again, wife (now I see where the term SWMBO comes from), would slit her wrists. I even said i'd make a compound for the family. Here's the funny thing. All the boys in the family are ready to go, the wives are not...they seem to be ruling the decision.

I will need a person to relay shipping information to him...can I count on you? How do you get banned from an entire site??
