I thought birds had penises? I remember seeing some article on the evolution of duck penis.

Don't ask me how I know this ...


I thought this was common knowledge! [emoji16]. There's a very informative video about this. After informing numerous people about this topic, I've almost always had to resort to this video to prove I didn't make this sh!t up. Enjoy. http://youtu.be/6k01DIVDJlY
 
My wife and I invited the neighbor couple to the local watering hole for wings and a few brews last night. When we sat down at the bar the tender placed a Sierria Navada Ruthless Rye coaster in front of each of us, and asked "What will you have?" I responded by saying "One of these." holding up the coaster. The tender then told me that they have never had that beer there.


:confused::(:confused:

Haha.

I've been hit with that as well, but it was a cool display sign for some beer I don't remember... asked for it, "Sorry don't have it."

"Why do you have the sign?"

"Decoration."
 
I was a bit surprised when the tender told us "The only weird beer we have is that nasty stuff.", pointing to a Southern Tier IPA sign.

It's a trendy bar, for our hill billy area, and has a lot of lake people as customers, and I expected more of a craft selection. Especially with all the new local breweries popping up and putting out really good beers.
 
Every time it go out to Buffalo Wild Wings (we like to watch UFC cards there) I try to order some of their craft brew selections advertised on the menu. "I'm sorry but we don't have that..."

Then wtf is it doing on the menu??? [emoji35]

I was offered the Walker Texas Ranger IPA at BWW once. It roundhouse kicked me before I could drink it.
 
So, I'm at my local watering hole and see the bartender has a shirt with "Baby Got Bock" on the front.

Me: "I like your shirt. What bock's do you have?"

Barkeep: "Um. ... Shiner?"

Me: "That's not a bock. It is a dark lager."

Barkeep: vacant stare

Me: "How about a New Belgian Session IPA like on this coaster?"

Barkeep: "You know what we have. What do you want?"

Me: "I'll have another Karbach"

:goat:
 
...Then I got to have 30 conversations with people about how he knew I would order bud light.

I was going to ask how many of your colleagues know your preferences in beer and the fact that if you could have any beer in the world it would definitely not be a Bud Light? Cause that would of destroyed the illusion for them, obviously not a real magician!

Well, when I was up with Mack King for this trick, my wife was the only one who knew me, and she did know there was no way in hell I would order Budweiser. He also "stole" my watch. The only trick involving me that has me stumped is the $100 bill he made disappear and reappear in a completely different spot (under the earpiece of a phone, no less).

We went to Penn & Teller in Vegas a few years ago. They explained some tricks like that and it was pretty interesting. There's Youtube videos of a trick of theirs involving a Salmon, or some kind of fish, reappearing under an "audience member's" chair. :off:

In all fairness, despite what you personally want to consider it, it is called Shiner BOCK. So, I'm not sure what you were expecting from the bartender.
Also, when will people learn that decorative bar signs and coasters are not tap lists.

The coasters were supplied, i'm sure, free of charge, by Sierra Nevada, for the sole purpose of advertising, and selling, that beer. I certainly expect the bar using the coasters to sell the beer.

If it were a novelty item, I would understand, but I know that this product exists, and would really like to try it. If I ran the bar I would at least ask the distributor that provided the coasters to leave a case of the beer. Just to see if it does sell. After all, craft beer generally sells at a higher price point, which generally means a larger profit margin. If the beer sells well, good, if not, it's only a case that you need to get rid of.

And yes, that would make sense. But my point is that most places aren't going to care what signs decorate their walls or what coasters they're putting out. They were most likely cheap or free. Also, what's to say they didn't try the beer and it didn't sell, but they still have an abundance of coasters? Why throw them away or take the sign off the wall? Because one or two uptight people come in from time to time and want to base what they order off the pretty neon lights instead of reading a menu or looking at tap handles?
Now, if they start using tap handles for beer they don't carry and don't have a printed list of what's on tap, that would be annoying. But, signs and coasters? I hardly ever give them a thought.
 
Most bars I've worked in have at least one rotating tap. If it's a new beer, you get the whole swag pack with glasses and coasters. Sometimes that stuff gets thrown in the storeroom and comes out long after the beer is gone (if it's not stolen by employees).
 
I was at a magic/comedy act last week, and got selected to go up on stage to have magic done on me. I sat down and he offered to get me a drink for my trouble. Of course it's a scam, and he has already told me to order a... wait for it... bud light!

Further proof that there is nothing magic about Bud Light.
