Funny things you've overheard about beer

[SupervisingChildren]

Last night at the hockey game SWMBO was ordering beers for us. She got me a Southern Tier IPA and went to order for herself, but was staring at bud light. "Bud light, errrrrr noooooo I mean blue light!" is what came out of her mouth. She caught herself right after and was relieved that she didn't get the bud. She's no craft beer connoisseur, but hates Budweiser.

A frustrating few years for the Sabres, but if you can get a ST IPA at the arena it eases the pain, yeah?

 

[fletchergsmith]

Flying is no big thing...all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss!

+1 for the Douglas Adams reference

 

[fletchergsmith]

To miss the ground you must think of something else right before the moment of impact

We're "rebuilding" :what: hahahahaha.

Beer makes almost anything seem better, including watching local sports teams constantly not make it to the playoffs.

Wouldn't that make it 43...?

welcome to Buffalo!

 

[SupervisingChildren]

welcome to Buffalo!

Or get all the way to the Super Bowl and then choke... 4 years in a row.
Watching our local sports teams makes beer that much more necessary.:beer:

 

[day_trippr]

Bills talk is too maudlin for this thread.

Move along...

Cheers!

I've known several Brewers and Brewsters. There's a town and school called Brewer not far from here...it really isn't an uncommon name since brewing was a significant trade when surnames became popular (like Shoemaker, Cooper, Smith, Gardner, Carpenter, Cobb(ler), etc.).

The funniest beer related surname I've know has been Casebeer. Now that's impressive.

Edit: evidently iPhone doesn't Iike the word "surname."

I knew a gobbler once. Wonder how her family got that last name?

My daughter goes to school with a kid named Murphy Stout. I wonder if his parents had any idea?

If that kid goes to college in Portland he is going to be waist deep in beer drinking ladies. Lucky!

Good god. Is his brother Alec Guinness Stout?

On the radio a bit ago I heard a guy say "I like ales and other strong beers, like pale ales."

 

[oogaboogachiefwalkingdeer]

It's not too bad but it don't taste like commercial.
Why can't you just buy some beer?

 

[Fedora]

Nothing to do with beer but I saw this on the bathroom wall at a local beer store and it made me smile so Ima post it up.

 

[JonM]

Why doesn't Grandma buy some brownies instead of making them from scratch?

 

[Genghis]

Why doesn't Grandma buy some brownies instead of making them from scratch?

Because the local bakery doesn't sprinkle in the special herbs.

Grandma bakes at 4:20. Every day.

College classmate had the surname "Drinkwine". I never asked him, but always wondered the origin of that name.

Place cookies in a preheated oven at 420F and bake for 7 min.

How close am to to grannies recipe?

Well, first you gotta RDWHAHB or 7. Too much stress is my guess. Especially about your beer. Or prophetic foreshadowing.

I wish I would have more than the rare dream. Though when I do... woah they are weird or thematic. I had 2 whole years when the dreams I remembered on waking (all dozen and a half of them) I could fly (hover really, only could get like 12 feet off the ground) and was convinced that if I could remember how I do it upon waking up I could do it in real life. Then as I started waking up I started floating lower and lower. Weird.

Dont trust them Rapids NYers. They are an untrustworthy lot. Shifty eyes.

When I was in my twenties, I hung out with the same woman in my dreams for several years. To this day, I can remember exactly what she looked like, the fragrance she wore, the clothes she liked, etc.

Several times a year I'd awaken from a dream with her in it. None of them were exciting or sexy, though. We were just doing normal, mundane things like riding in a cab, eating at a restaurant, sitting in a living room talking (yes, I do remember the furniture), etc. We were in a city somewhere, it was always night time, and the weather was usually cool and wet: rain, fog, etc.

^^ She said, " How are ya harry"? I said, " How are ya sue? There's been too many miles, & too little smiles...but I still, remember you"! Sound familiar?

"My name is Sue, how do you do? Now you gonna die!"

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah, there's that one too. But I was thinking of Harry Chapin...

 

[hunter_le five]

I'm sure a lot of you will take exception to this, but I thought it was funny anyway:

"Here's she's actin' happy. Inside her handsome home. And me, I'm flyin in my taxi. Takin tips, and getting stoned"

I was staring at this for 5 minutes before i realized what all those bendy white lines were. All those damn words

And did you wind up meeting said vixen in real life? Marry her?

I have to admit, I have had 2 dreams that I have remembered in the past week and the same young lady has starred in both of them, who I have never met before in real life. Who knows, she may be the one who balances me out and I can look forward to meeting her. The mind works in strange ways. Mine especially.

To keep from hijacking the thread with talk of nocturnal hallucinations, I created this thread.

Now back to your regularly scheduled funny off topic things not about beer.

Most of the people I encounter in dreams are people I've never met...and not even in a "I just dreamt I had lasagna with Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis!"-kinda way, but total strangers.

Dreams are a weird thing. Do we have a side thread on that yet?
EDIT: nevermind, just saw Jon's edit.
