High post count does not equal brewing knowledge

[Gosassin]

...I am here to learn, and I do it by osmosis...I come to this forum primarily to learn about brewing. ... I look forward to the day when I can be more helpful on brewing related matters, but realistically that is not today.

My sentiments exactly! I've been reading through the old threads and new posts for the past few months; I've even posted a few questions and gotten excellent, helpful responses almost immediately. However, all the reading I've done has really served to show me how much I still don't know, so you can bet I'll be sticking around to learn as much as I can from you guys.

Gnome, I'm crushed. We shared a magical afternoon watching Blue Shorts Guy pee in SoupBrews' carboy

You must be an Buckeyes fan now. Dirty, Dirty Buckeyes...

A) See! What magical times we share as a community! Did you see that, OP? Did ya see that!? As a community we watch Blue Shorts Guy pee in someone else's carboy! (I thought he peed in the kettle, but maybe it was both)

B) In England, Buckeyes are called conkers ya know! Children thread strings through them and smash them into little pieces (And hurt their knuckles in the process)

Those conkers are horse-chestnuts not real Buckeyes!!
Buckeyes are an American tree and the state tree of your adopted state.

I imagine those children make just as big of a mess of the husks as the squirrels make in our yard.

[Revvy]

Good job all

We threw stones at eachother. We were friggin idiots, and I have a scar to prove it.

We used to have BB gun fights...of course back in the day BB gun's weren't that powerful (well until my dad got me a pump action pellet gun that 10 pumps would put a pellet through an inch of cider block)...


It'a amazing we still have all our eyes...

we were not allowed bb guns for this very reason.

Just by virtue of my last post I suddenly, and inexplicably know how to build a rotating sparge arm!!! This post count intelligence is really kicking in!!!

My cousin used to ride around on his bmx, pluck a bean from this bean tree, and wing them at me. The end had a sharp point. It was so much fun. That and the clumped grass fight. They'd take clumps of wet grass and whale them into our faces, sending us to the ground.

but what was cool about those BB guns is that you could hit someone who was behind a tree by judging the curve of the BB right.

Your dad is Tim the tool man Taylor. Cool. Can he fix my vacuum?

Just tweak your ears, the pressure in your head will equalise with the outside pressure

 

[shecky]

How exactly does any of this relate to the OP? Methinks we've gotten off track. I am now 20 times better as a brewer just because of the post count in this thread.

Keep on keepin' on.

P.S. I am incapable of tweaking my ears.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Yep! back on topic guys! I liked Orfy's post, but it got lost in my inane crap.

 

[GroovePuppy]

So does my post count means I'm over 10000 times dumber than any noob?

I think just by osmosis you should be a better(more knowledgeable) brewer with an higher post count. The collective wealth of knowledge and experience does (or should) sink in.

I am immune to your good advice and I resent the implication that I am capable of learning!

This guy's gonna be really confused if he ever shows up again.

Certainty is the state of delusion. Confusion is the state of Ohio.

 

[BigKahuna]

I still think it's funny that this guy has directly caused a 13 point...now 14 point increase (or decrease depending on how we decided to look at it) in my Brewing IQ!


Thanks Man!

And hell...Hell is a city in Michigan...

And yes, it does freeze over...

Here's their weather station...

They had a big party on 6-6-06...

With women with big bewbies evidently..

 

[GroovePuppy]

Awesome bewbage!:rockin:

i'll vouch for that. i thought the hoosiers were confused, but upon my triumphant return to teh ohio, i realized i was wrong.

as for the bb guns, stones, and being idiots; we were too. i think kids and hillbillies have super attentive guardian angels.

I prefer a different city in MI...Climax.

It was always great driving to the Silver Leaf Renaissance Festival and passing through and telling my wife, "well, we just reached Climax again!" :cross:

And with that we move farther away from the OP.

There's a Climax in North Carolina, too. And what about Intercouse, Pennsylvania. There needs to be a Climax bordering it. Or a PE.

New rule:

A thread with a high post count does not equal brewing knowledge is inside.

So you're saying if we drive far enough we can reach mulitple Climaxes in one day?
