Funny things you've overheard about beer

[thatjonguy]

Agree up to the point of "mainly watched by bmc". Pretty much everyone watches the superbowl but most ppl are bmc drinkers.

The the hipsters will just tell everyone you sold out.

Drops mic.

That is funny

You have to be able to sell a ton of your product to make Superbowl advertising costs worth it. It's simple...

ECONOMICS!

I hear we're good at that kind of thing in here.

no! you stop that right now!ipe:

You know what to do. Commence the berry-punching.

not feeling up to berry punching today. I'll be handing out IOUs.

 

[orangehero]

What we need is a superbowl commercial to berry punch bmc and their customers showing how their soulless swill is brewed "the hard way".

Of course, Billy Klubb will be the spokesman.

Woke up hurting this morning. Watched the kids until SWMBO got home.

Went back to sleep. Feeling a little more normal now.

Would you be interested in off-shore-ing your berry punching- our research shows that emerging economies could provide the punching resource at a significant saving to you and your organisation.

berry pawnching is a learned skill set. buy local. but if you're looking for someone to pawnch berries for you, go to London and look up a Mr. Bullet Tooth Tony. I recommend him for all your berry pawnching needs.

edit: and you can call him Susan if you like.

Haha

Reminds me of an old Navy rite of passage, tell some bootcamp to go down to the engineering spaces and ask for a "BT punch"

Where a Boiler Tech (the BT) will sock him in the teeth

haha, I learned of a funny hazing/induction that happened on German U-boats during WWII.
The new sailor would unknowingly use the head and (whether #1 or #2) be unaware that while at depth the toilet system had no pumps to evacuate the waste into the sea. So inevitably, the new-guy would flush and the back pressure would cause an explosion of s**t straight back into his face.
Apparently, it's called a "U-boat baptism".

I'd rather take a pawnch in the berries.

 

[Pantherjon]

No pawnching MY berries!!

On any sub at any depth there would be a back pressure if the toilet were connected direct to the sea, unless the toilet was above water line. Plus that would be a very poor design to have a toilet valve as a possible flood source.

That said, you are mostly correct on the hazing. The way the system worked was the toilet dumped to a tank. To empty the tank, it was pressurized to greater than sea pressure, a valve was opened and the contents were blown overboard. Before blowing sanitary tanks one was supposed to hang tags on all the toilets explaining not to operate the valve. If the tags where not hung and someone flushed the pressure of the pressurized tank would indeed empty the toilet contents upward.

Subs now use pumps as "blowing" the tanks is noisy. Pumps can be made much more quiet which is the name of the game in submarines.

My wife last week while drinking an ~11% BA coffee stout: "I really like this one. I really taste the hops." We had a 2 min discussion/debate ensue, and I just dropped it for the sake of the marriage...

I once worked with a guy on a vessel in the Arctic. He said a guy in his hometown got really sick from drinking homebrew and the local doctor said homebrew, if you drink too much will kill you.

If you drink too much water that can kill you as well.

Yeah, i guess you can say the doctor wasn't wrong.

 

[Wolfdust]

Good thing no one ever drank themselves to death using bmc.

Is that really a concern for them? I was under the impression that with the advent of nuclear subs, "quiet" kind of went out the window. I took a tour of a Canadian sub once (diesel electric), and they explained to me that while diesel electric is older, less efficient tech, it nevertheless has the advantage of being able to operate truly silently. They can kill the engine and run on battery power. (Actually, while submerged, they HAVE to run on battery power, because the diesel engines can only run while the sub is surfaced, as it needs air intake).

Nuclear subs, on the other hand, cannot simply shut down the reactor, thus there is a constant, unavoidable noise being perpetually generated. Under those circumstances, I'm not sure they'd be too concerned about the noise involved in blowing a few pounds of sh*t into the ocean.

the reactor itself is silent (nuclear fission does not make noise, but in a sub, it is not the reactor which drives the boat, it's the steam generated by the heat from the reactor), but you're right, there is constant, unavoidable noise which is reduced as much as possible within the hull and they try to decouple it from the hull.

vibrating hull = noise transmission through the water = Sonar Technician (my job in the Navy) can hear it.

something which transverses the hull is going to make a ****load of noise (pun intended) and would not be done often or at operating depth. I wasn't on subs, but I'm guessing this would be done at the same time ballast tanks are purged.

Well, isn't that modus operandi for Winter? Stouts and high abv "warmers?"
