Hill Farmstead thread

I ask my parents to babysit so I can drive 6 hours to wait in line in the freezing cold to buy beer.

You mean you don't drag your kid with you? pfft, amateur.

Not my youngest. My oldest has been there 3x. My dog, 4x. SMART.

Wonder what was so pressing that dude had to make his folks go?

If I lived further away than a simple day trip, and my folks were local, I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to make a trip or two a year. If they were really a 6-7am arrival and not 2am, it’s not that crazy of a request.

Now, my parents wouldnt understand and end up buying me a mix pack of Long Trail from the local gas station instead, but their heart is in the right place.

My parents think I'm a dork for spending $15 on a four pack of cans, I don't dare tell them what a rando CD 750 bottle costs or that I drove six hours in a car for one 375ml bottle of pepper juice.

They would also tell me to go eff myself if I asked them to stand in line for beer for me.

Related, I didn't get a lot of hugs as a kid.

Saw the old couple from the plum box release at the front of the line today. Doubting their surprise Xmas gift to their son story now. Apparently they're at the front of the line at most releases. I'm a sucker, carry on.

Be more cynical, damn it.

Boy, they must have been bummed to go home with only 4 Flora Raspberries and no box sets.

You leave my aunt and uncle alone.

I know thats ******** cause they didn't wait 6 hours in line only to get a single 6 pack of Mary like you probably would.

one of my fondest memories was being online with my father and getting a message from a friend saying "I heard you are talking to my mom on line".

there is definitely an issue with mules who buy to profit... but there are actually parents out there that either like beer themselves or are happy to pickup beers for their loved ones.

AIM? ICQ? Google Chat?

You're right, it was 6 Mary, 6 Marie and a rustic photograph of a glass of Poetica for the spankbank.

I wonder if it's the same old guy I saw in line back in September. Lived close by and seemed to be a regular mule for his step-son down in Georgia or North Carolina or something. Claude? Carl? Parked right up front with his handicap plate. Super nice guy - said he mostly drinks Coors Light.

He doesn't have handicapped plates. Just saw him on Tuesday actually. He's step-dad to a kid I grew up with but he actually drinks the beers he gets there.

That's the guy, he does have handicap plates. He was nice, that's why I believed him. Not Dale though.

You would recognize Dale from the group Brennan.
