Conversation at my mother's house...

Chicks dig dudes with glasses.

Then why didn't you wear them during the wedding:fro:

 

[dataz722]

They need to be on fire...... flaming pasties are hot! Im sure a flaming pasite would be just as cool though.

 

[dataz722]

CHECKMATE!!!!!

 

[Champurrado]

I'm pretty sure I dated that girl when I first got to New York. No not your mom, the other one.

 

[dataz722]

Well thats a coincidence cause revvy is going to be banging his mom

 

[bernerbrau]

Somehow this turned into Junior High all over again. You can all kiss my ass. I am now leaving to go have sex with my young, attractive wife. Good night.

 

[CBBaron]

What forum was this in again? It sure sounds like Drunken Ramblings.

And to the OP. First be very thankful you have relatives that enjoy and share good beer, and can even describe it reasonably. Second some people are much more attuned to hop flavors than malt flavors, especially women. Probably why she likes hoppy beers over malty.

So I say you fail

Sorry, I am just REALLY REALLY bored at work.

No pics, didn't happen. You know the rules young man.

Really....the OP certainly wasn't in order for us homebrewers to commisurate!!

If you want a real answer to "Is there any hope?"....nope, I don't think there's any hope for you, bernerbits:cross: Count your lucky stars your mom is a beer fan and can have a discussion with you about what makes a malty beer vs hoppy. As an outside listener, I would say you both have your own views. One thing about describing an overall character of beer: it's all subjective and some people's perceptions lean more towards malt vs hops.

I'm pretty lucky that my mom is also a hop head. IPA is her favorite drink. My SWMBO, though....I'm resigned to no hope! She likes my fruit beers and I've gotten her to stand sweet stouts. Ah well....more for me!

I'll give you that one, but I'll bet it's not the glasses!

 

[joety]

Too bad mom lives in Wheaton, IL. Weren't paying attention, were ya?

No sh*t? My mother graduated from Wheaton High. Isn't that where Risky Business was filmed?

 

[dataz722]

Revvy, Mom is 55, divorced, and in a relationship that she doesn't know how long will last. I will say nothing on the hawtness front but she's the one in fuchsia in my wedding pictures (yourrealyou's photos- powered by SmugMug, yourrealyou : photos : 2_Ceremony- powered by SmugMug).

The Man Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear " the rules"
From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE!
...

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

Just wanted to point that out

 

[bernerbrau]

I'll give you that one, but I'll bet it's not the glasses!

Yeah well, sex is awkward with glasses on. And I still see well enough that they're not strictly necessary in most activities other than driving.

No pics, didn't happen.

For some reason, she didn't appreciate me trying to do that. Funny.

 

[BrewInATL]

Because I was fortunate enough to have 255 colors in my crayola box as a kid. You poor bastard.

This is so going in my sig!

 

[shecky]

It's the effort that counts.

That just means now you need to do it without her knowledge. Dont ever forget that it is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission! :rockin:

 

[bull8042]

Well bernerbits, there is really no defending you, but I am very happy you have a good sense of humor and can take the abuse.
I read the whole thread this morning and nearly spewed coffee on my screen more than once.

 

[bernerbrau]

but I am very happy you have a good sense of humor and can take the abuse.

It's a defense mechanism I've had to evolve after a lifetime of taking sh!t from people. Let's not start taking that as license to abuse me just to see what funny sh!t I can come back with, now. I get enough of that from my family. My ex used to say I was only funny when I was angry. That's one of the reasons she's my ex, to say nothing of her infidelity...

Consider us family.

 

[bernerbrau]

Consider us family.

Aw shucks. Wait a sec, this means I can start asking pointless favors of you guys. This could work to my advantage...

 

[bernerbrau]

Obviously, you've never met my wife.

 

[dataz722]

And just like family we will find some excuse and not do anything.

I can just feel the love overflowing here.

 

[Schlenkerla]

I say, "It's good. Nice and malty."

"MALTY?!" She practically screams. "It's not malty, it's hoppy!"

"Well there's definitely a hop character to it but it's definitely maltier in overall flavor. It's a barley wine, it's supposed to be malty."

"No, Derek. It's hoppy. I don't like malty beer."

And like that, the conversation was over. I wonder if there's any hope.

This reminds me of the those old Miller Light commercials. Less Filling / Tastes Great!

I live for the day when there is a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot commercial with the same argument.

Its Malty! / No its Hoppy!

:rockin:

 

[IrregularPulse]

I wish I would have found this thread earlier. There are so many things I missed the chance to comment on. Lets see here. back to the beginning. All in good fun of course. Heck of a disclaimer eh

This rant was over as soon as you said your mom likes barleywine. That has to be one of the coolest mom's I know.

Yes, do not come in looking for sympathy because doesn't identify the flavor profile of her Barley Wine accurately enough. Most of us are lucky to have our parents taste our brews.

I'm not entirely sure she knows what a pale ale is. As I said, she's a hophead, more or less exclusively so.

All in favor of dragging this thread right back off topic and talking about my marriage/Revvy dating my mom, now...

Wishing we would get back to discussing perverted men of the cloth getting with your mom speaks of a very troubling childhood and could explain some those rough times in childhood that helped develop your defense mechanisms.

I am so appealing this. Also, if any of you asses are ever in Nashville, you are so not invited to hang out and drink at my place.

you can't appeal the revoking of a man card while saying "SO" about everything. This is how my 12 year old sister speaks. OMG he's SOO cute!"

That's it, it is so on. I challenge all y'all to a brew-off. Tastiest beer (to be judged by an impartial panel) wins and gets to keep his man card.

Why is the guy who accidently turns Pale Ales into Barley Wines challenging anyone to a brew contest? Not to mention our ManCards are not in question here.

Captain of the Academic Team, actually. I could probably out-trivia any one of you. Chicks dig dudes with glasses.

Chicks dig dude's with glasses is something you're mother invented the day you had to get glasses so you wouldn't feel so bad about being made fun of the next day in elementry school. Hot Chicks in adult life dig guys with glasses that also HAPPEN to have jobs that offer $20K raises

Somehow this turned into Junior High all over again. You can all kiss my ass. I am now leaving to go have sex with my young, attractive wife. Good night.

you say as you walk away to read the newest harry Potter novel and your hot wife drives off to the club with her freinds.

Obviously, you've never met my wife.

Oh we've ALL met your wife! haha ok, that was too much.

I can just feel the love overflowing here.

That is the special love that only this forum can offer. It's like my group of friends. If we're not bashing you constantly and slamming you everytime you mess up at something, you're not really part of the group.
All in Brew Love.

Dudes with glasses tend to become those guys with jobs that offer $20K raises. Mostly because we're intelligent (YES, I know myopia and intelligence aren't actually related) and sucked at physical stuff and had to pick something else to excel at. It has been my observation that as I grow older, my access to attractive women has increased substantially.

Exactly. The attractive women have had their fun and need a stable life now. That is not a bad thing. You get the good looking respective ones without the drama of highschool.
I know my comments may have been harsh, but they're all to be taken as jokes in good humor. Except about the ALL of us meeting your wife. Maybe a little too much.

As good as all that was, your avatar still creeps me the hell out!

That was a joke? O'damn so I am the only one?



ok ok ok, im just going to go ahead and say sorry right now for that.
