Funny things you've overheard about beer

[Wiscohio_brewer]

One of my friends compares every dark beer to Guinness. "It's like a heavier version of Guinness." "It's a sweeter version of Guinness." "It's a more bitter version of Guinness." It drives me crazy.

 

[joshesmusica]

Oh you havent been over to meet friendly friends have you?

Now I have.

Yeah, didn't you know Guinness is the benchmark by which all non-BMC beers are judged?

 

[kombat]

They went through all that trouble and got the 2-color border wrong. Plus, no sorcery is gonna have split-second tacked onto it

All that, plus - is it a sorcery or is it a creature? Sorceries don't have power and toughness.

What the blazes are you dorks even talking about?

What the blazes are you dorks even talking about?

What got the card industry through the 2000s after everyone stopped watching baseball. I can't say much though
I had a collection of first edition dnd books back in the 90s that I found in New Orleans at a tiny books store under a pile of junk.
Until I let a "friend" "borrow" them, that is. Never saw them again.

Anyway, back to beer.

Careful. Its addicting. I am entirely incapable of speaking to people without layering snarky sarcastic nonsense on top of it now

Oh god, how did I not catch that??? I am dissapoint...In myself. Actually havent played in years, just go through feverish deck building phases

Pretty sure any creature with 0 toughness, whether a result from summoning without any +1/+1 counters or something, or some effect that subtracts from it, dies as soon as all effects have resolved. Yeah that dude is toast as soon as he hits the field

Teeheehee.

Yea it does. It would be DOA when it hits the field. But the sorcery doesn't hit the field it just lays on the stack.

This happens to me too... Probably will happen now as a result of this thread... Build a half dozen decks based on off combos and play em a few times. Then pack it all away again.

Not for long - it has Split Second, so nothing can go onto the stack after it, and it's a sorcery, meaning it would have to be the starting spell of a stack (given that sorceries can only be added to an empty stack, and only by the active player, unless that same player has played and resolved a spell like Quicken earlier in the same turn).

 

[GrogNerd]

so, how about those economics, huh? amiright?

statistics?

anything, please, I'm begging here

 

[Trippel-A]

The economics of Magic the Gathering card collecting are fascinating. They differ from collectibles like baseball cards in that there is an in-game utility to consider...

Damn it! Broke another hydrometer.

 

[GrogNerd]

log it in the broken hydrometer thread

I still use the same one I bought when I first started homebrewing in '94

broken several test cylinders, but never the hydrometer **knocks on wood**

 

[kombat]

How do you break a test cylinder? Aren't they plastic?

 

[TheCADJockey]

I still have my first hydrometer as well. I don't understand how people break them. Don't let your wife touch it and you're golden.

 

[GrogNerd]

not all

my first 2 were glass, don't recall seeing plastic ones available back then

 

[Kee]

The one that I broke was made of glass. I still have my plastic one...

 

[1977Brewer]

The base on my plastic test cylinder broke before I ever used it. It still stands up so no worries.

 

[SeraW]

I broke a plastic test cylinder. The hydrometer was not in it, but in a clumsy moment while cleaning up, I somehow smacked the top of it with the side of my hand (karate chop style) and it tumbled to the ground on its edge, cracking a chunk off the top. Still haven't broken a hydrometer though.

Obviously you don't have a .900-1.020 precision hydrometer. I swear the things are more fragile than a lightbulb

 

[TheCADJockey]

Didn't know there were different kinds. Mine is 4 years old. I don't try that hard.

 

[GuldTuborg]

I've broken exactly 1 light bulb and 0 hydrometers in my life. They can't be that fragile.

I need one of those... Where can I get one?

Wow, that joke went over everyone's head

 

[WilliamSlayer]

Unfortunately my uncle was serious about this. He thought all good beer gets better with age. I don't think I got through to him.

Lol...
Burn the heretic!
