Does SWMBO fetch beer for you?

I've never asked her to fetch me a bottle, but have asked for her to pull a pint from the kegerator. She is not as impressed by the kegerator as I am, even if it has one of her favorites on tap (SNPA).

SWMBO does actually like beer (IPA'S mostly), but I still make wine for her as well. I consider myself lucky, but so is she. :D

At least it's glass. Would you rather she brought you a can???

Do they even make beer in cans anymore? :D The only bottles we have are the ones I fill (and mostly empty) myself
 
I'd have had better luck training my dog to pour me a beer with a perfect head then getting my former SWMBO to fetch me a beer or have anything to do with head....note the use of 'former'....I'll be more selective in my search for a future SWMBO, or maybe just find a dog with opposable thumbs...might be nicer.

edit: just re-read that, I didn't mean THAT you sickos!
 
We weren't thinking THAT, Colorado. Boy, what do you take us for?

So, what kind of dog are we talking about? One of those sexy cocker spaniel types like on 'Lady and the Tramp' or one of those slutty little toy poodles all fluffled up and haughty?
 
i have learned not to put my faith in her beer fetching skills upon command! so i have a kegarator in the basement, fridge in the kitchen (of course), and a fridge in the billiards room on the other side of the house! but if im lucky she will still grab me one even though im only bout 12' away! so proper beer cooling devices around the house is key!

My main store bought tipple comes in cans (375ml). also, stubbies (375ml) and long necks (800ml :))
 
Maybe i'm one of the lucky ones. My girlfriend generally grabs me a beer whenever I'm too lazy to get off my butt. She even likes my beer! :ban:

Although she nearly always forgets that not all bottlecaps are twist-offs. Half the time i have to get up for the can opener.
 
I get all my own, but SWMBO doesn't drink much at all. Heck, I don't drink that much either... sorta. ;)

Anyway, I have to get my own because it needs to be poured properly, the glass needs a good rinse, I can't decide which beer to drink unless I have the fridge door open and get to stare at them all for a minute, etc. Beer drinking is more than just the drinking part. It's an adventure!
 
My SWMBO would definitely get me a beer if I asked. Sometimes not too.
Secretly I think the "inner bartender" in her thinks it is cool to draw a pint from our home tap.

SWMBO only fetches me beer when there's company, and she's getting some for them, too. Reminds me of a little story.................
About 8 years ago, we decided we were done having kids, so I made the little trip to the urologist for the cut-and-burn. Well, of course my "boys" were black and blue all weekend.... I wound up getting my own all weekend:(
woah boy, i was told to lay off getting any 24 hrs after the I had the snip, snip.:rockin:
