Funny things you've overheard about beer

[unionrdr]

Reminds me of pap. He liked corn bread chunked up in his morning coffee.

I wouldn't make a bad beer pun ever - not vorlauf or money.

Hah.. my gramps would get a cereal that was like shredded wheat, but they were like 6 inch pieces. Would put them in a bowl of milk when he got up and not eat it until it was absolute mush. Always freaked me out as a kid. Doesn't sound half bad now :cross:

Sounds like weetabix. I recommend a protein rest.

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah, I remember the old school shredded wheat in those big pieces. No sweetener either. Wasn't bad with sugar or honey on it with the milk. Seems to me pap did that one too on occasion?

Blurf... that definitely looks about right. Although it seems after being in the Navy for so long, you aren't very picky about food. All my friends that were in the Navy eat some weird, bland, overcooked or boiled to death food too..

That is a weird looking helmet. Do they make one for people that wear glasses?

Lol

I think that going through survival school a couple times does something to the palate too. I even eat roadkill.

 

[unionrdr]

Fresh roadkill stew! :rockin:

Must have something to do which side of the ocean surface you are on. Stepson says the food served, under the surface, tends to bend a sailor towards over eating.

I don't even attempt to understand what happens in service. I was turned away due to having heart surgery when I was a child. My friend however, was on a submarine for the entirety of his service and now that he is home... he is the one that boils all his food to death. Oh well. At 6'5" I don't think I would fit on a sub anyway.

navy chow wrecked my palate

now anything that isn't completely foul tastes pretty good to me

the upside is I enjoy most beers I try

I remember that from when I was a kid. It was in a red box. Just frosted shredded wheat vs mini wheat. You could only fit like 5-6 in a bowl.

I remember ones bigger than that. 3 in a bowl, max

my papa would eat Grape Nuts (Euell Gibbons, "many parts of a pine tree are edible!") and put Wheat Germ on it.

holy floccin' gak, that was nasty

We had a 6'5" sailor on my sub. That is the limit if I remember correctly. He most always had a scab on his fore head. I thought sub food was pretty good considering no fresh ingredients to start prep with.

As for something funny and brewing related we did have some guys try to make jungle brew. A plastic jug filled with koolaid, sugar, some dried fruit and bread yeast. Stuck back in the engine room, probably a good 85 degrees most of the time. I didn't taste it but was told it was pretty nasty but has some kick.

The alchy thread was doing that last night too. I just figured it reached critical mass at 130-something thousand posts.

 

[unionrdr]

Thank fuggles you saw that too. Thought it was time to stop drinking my Luxembourg Girl (not a true Belgian blonde but close enough that you still would).

Carry on.

Test. Can I post now?

 

[GrogNerd]

I first thought he deleted the original and re-posted, but 1) we can't delete posts (at least I seem to be unable) and 2) the quote link goes to the post after mine

time to stop drinking

I recognize these words as coming from the English language, but cannot comprehend the order in which you've placed them

 

[2drunk2]

My posts keep disappearing.

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah, kinda weird how I finally get my comp working fairly decent again, then HBT gets messed up?

Is your fault...lol

Im double posting everything

This is kind of funny in it's own right. Where is the thread that takes advantage of the screwy flow of time to write a short story?

- On topic - Last night at the bar I heard a disgruntled patron ask the bartender, "You don't have Coors? Ugh.. fine.. gimme a Bud in one of those frosty cups." I wanted to slap him with my ring hand. Taps included: Bud Light, Labatt, Southern Tier IPA, Magic Hat IPL, Flying Bison Rusty Chain and SA Winter Lager.

Yes lets have more bud bashing.

Y'know, there might be something to that. Another forum I hang out on had a thread that got out into 800-900 page (might have broken 1,000 page) area. Kind of like this one. One night, it corrupted the database, and crashed the entire forum. Took the admins several days to get it sorted out, and many of the longer threads on the forum were either completely lost, or a significant portion of the end had to be deleted to 'save' the rest of the forum.

After that incident, we voluntarily imposed a 500-page limit on any thread; once you hit that point, a 'new' thread was started with a similar name, and linked to from the old thread - and then the old thread was locked.
