and here i thought paul bunnion in the background just didn't fit in the frame?

edit: and of course the way the guy with the creepy look towards the other drinkers is holding john palmer's pre-quel edition, and having impure thoughts....

Definitely has the lusty eye that chap #1, he's clearly obsessing over hot side oxidation or some such perversion. Hope the other two fellas have auction paddles down the back of their trousers, no telling what depraved tomfoolery he may get up to.

Looked like a good place to drop this pic. First photo ever of people drinking. 1844.

Some questions come to mind:

1. There are 3 drinks on the table. Seems probable that the photog asked the central member of this group to move, for the pic. He seems to have moved, but occupied on his cell. ?
2. Those beer glasses?
3. Looks like a cork was left on the table. Just right of the center glass. Thoughts?
4. Chap on left is holding a book. What do you suppose that would be?
5. Appears chap 3, on the cell, wears a pinkie ring. Same with chap 2. Thoughts?
6. Is there a rolled carpet behind them? What kind of establishment is this?

Aren’t those the regulars who only post in the Brew Science subforum?

I'd like to brew that Edinburgh ale, any other historical references to such a potion? Sounds like a barleywine to me by the description.

 

[Jayjay1976]

Freaky.

Deepfake yes for certain. It's purpose is for people researching their ancestors to get a glimpse of what they might have looked like if old photos could move. Tried it myself with photos of loved ones I've lost, immediately tugged at my heart strings. Wish we'd all had video cameras rolling at all the family gatherings, didnt occur to us then that those were the good old days and it hurts so much that once vivid memories eventually fade into fuzzy stills.

Eating corn on the cob has got to be one of the greatest pleasures this life has to offer.

Visceral wild feeding
Satiating myself in primal manner
Eyes rolled back like a shark
Incisors tear away the veneer of humanity.

Pass the butter.

Mmmm...fresh corn

Mmmm...fresh corn

I have been known to buy a few ears of fresh sweet corn, cook it up, and have that and ONLY that for a meal. One of the most glorious things I have learned in this life is when someone served us corn on the cob, and they provided half-sticks of real butter (cut with the wrapper still on) to butter the corn. Effing GENIUS. I also once had to explain to my husband what corn cob holders are; except in my family we call them "corn jobbies". I do not know why but they are an essential item in my utensil drawer.

We had corn on the cob with dinner again last night. I'm googling different ways of preparing it but who am I kidding. A steaming hot ear rolled through salted butter is really hard to beat. I'm going to have it as often as I can while it's in season, then I'll dream about it all winter long.

Corn on the cob is simply a butter delivery vehicle...

Cheers! (Not all that different from lobster )

Grill it. Leaves on (trim the end silk and strays) about 6-8 quarter turns. Turn before blackening the side. Peel and of course the half stick of butter.

Smoked low and slow. then plenty of salted butter. It's the only way I eat corn anymore. cleaned of leaves and smoked till golden.
can't wait till local corn is in!

I was wondering if smoked corn was a thing. Curious what hardwood you recommend?

I use a pellet smoker with Pit Boss Competition Blend but I would probably use Oak , Pecan or Hickory if using chips or chunks. I would think almost anything except Mesquite, that may be too strong.
I first had smoked corn at a BBQ joint near here and I think they used Hickory for everything. Great food and an awesome beer selection. Unfortunately they closed during COVID.

Corncobs are sometimes used for smoking hams and bacon. It would be poetic to use them for smoking corn.

Hmmm... maybe smoking bacon with bacon?
..here's the flipside:

 

[balrog]

Hah!
9 yr necro thread quickly turns "what people look like" into a discussion of "junk" posting and smoking corn.

That about tracks right.

I'm really interested in meeting your standards and preferences, but exactly what part of this thread seems out of place to you here in the drunken ramblings & mindless mumbling forum??

 

[balrog]

Not at all! Just saying how I enjoy the ebb and flow of this place. Truly.

 

[bracconiere]

to me this isn't a necro thread, it's an undead thread!

and balrog, my third eye tells me your closed to the world... (which i think is actually good, and smart! wish i could master it! )

Salted butter, plus tarragon.

When I'm sitting here in my garage reading HBT, as I do almost every day, when reading posts from well-known members my mental picture is always of a guy in his mid-to-late 40's/50's, with a lot of time on his hands and more money than me.

Hey, I'm not *mid* 40s yet. I don't get there until next week when I turn 44.

The childlike pic in my avatar was probably circa 2008, so I look a little more "distinguished" these days lol.

wait, child like pic? you look older then me in that picture? (at least to me, compared to the handsome devil that greets me in the mirror )

Mebee closed a bit, heck if it weren't for Mrs Rog, I'd proly never go much of anywhere. We just did a week bicycle trip near Madison/Milwaukee and came back with a few more pathogens than desired but wasn't too bad Covid, just a touch of lingering fatigue. If it weren't for my tennis buddies I'd never get through my brew supply.

Yeah, I laughed out loud when I typed that.
