Is it wrong of me to protest on the simple fact of not being invited?

[Stinkonamonkey]

"Ya, Sure! I'll even do it for free!"

Day of wedding.... "Oh ya, I totally forgot. Sorry. CONGRATS!!"

 

[BierMuncher]

Could be that the invite list was set long before your perceived a friendship.
Could be his SWMBO is the one who has the last say on guests.
Could be that he'd like to invite you but feels awkward not having known you that long.

Or...it could be that he's a tool. That's my guess.

I'd just tell him flat out "...dude, it is in very poor taste to ask me to labor for your wedding and not have the decency to extend an invitation...what kind of backwoods, inbred, socially void environment did you grow up in...oh, an by the way, your guests are going to miss out on a very memorable beer tasting experience...but hey...enjoy the Coors light?"

Then I'd give him a cockpunch just to get the point accross.

 

[BrewBrain]

I'm not invited (YES HE TOLD ME THIS)

How the hell does this conversation go? Transcript please?

I'm leaning towards kicking his balls 'till he needs surgery.

not actually condoning kicking anybody's balls for real unless they are one of those people who enjoys it, in which case don't do it for this guy anyway.

 

[user 574]

I wouldn't rule it out yet. Tell him you'll do it if he pays for the supplies PLUS you will take the soon to be married couple out for a romantic dinner and a wild night out on the town your treat. The only thing is he's not invited.

Douchie to the exteme.

Thanks for the signature material! Haha, too good...

 

[BlindLemonLars]

Although I do like the dipping my nuts in the kegs idea.

Just don't let them scrape the bottom, or you'll stir up the sediment. :cross:

I'd just flatly decline, you don't need an explanation or an "out."

 

[cd2448]

These posts have been about a lot of balls today.

I dont have the time or want to make time. I was thinking about trying to fit it in to be nice however once he mentioned I'm not invited (YES HE TOLD ME THIS), I realized why should I put myself out to make him happy when its not really apprecieated.

It's done. No beer for this guy. No beer ever.

 

[cbg96]

Late to the party, but:

1) Douchness scale is off the charts. Wow.

2) No beer. No beer no way.

3) No need to hang with this guy no more. No indeedy.

You're not even going to make some kind of reference to a violent act directed at his genitalia?! Might as well not even come to the party then.

 

[Bedlam]

Awww...cut the guy a break. We all know engineers don't win any social skills awards.

(Wait...is El Hubbo reading this forum?...oh, crap. )

In all seriousness, I hate weddings and would be perfectly happy to not have an invitation and also perfectly happy to drink my own beer to my heart's content.

 

[Fingers]

If you need an excuse just politely tell him that sometimes batches don't turn out. As an engineer, there's no way he'd take a chance on not having beer at the event. Smile, wish him the best of luck in his new life and when he's least expecting it you drop to your needs and apply a forceful uppercut directly to the crotchital region, severely compacting the cock within. Calmly walk away. Whistling a happy tune is a nice touch.

Ha...that is hilarious. I now have a picture of a carnival barker yelling, "Step right up and get your chance to punch douchemallow right in the johnson! Come one and come all, free kick to ******* co-worker's nuts."

 

[Brewpastor]

I would pass on the whole deal.

 

[Borisbbadd]

Let him piss up a rope.

Your equipment,

Your time and energy,

Your brewing skill,

All for the cost of supplies, I think thats asking alot.

As for not being invited, lucky you !!!

 

[hoss75]

Let me put it this way....
If I was getting hitched and I asked (or even if someone offered) to brew several batches of beer and lend dispensing equipment for the wedding, then that person was somehow left off the invite list, I would be incredibly emberassed.

On the other side, I wouldn't do it just because I had no idea what would happen to my equipment. Also, my time is worth something so brewing costs more than just supplies. So he IS asking for a mjor gift.

You know, I've noticed a trend lately. Whenever the discussion of *********gery comes up, the percentage of posters suggesting genital mutilation approaches 100%.

I approve this trend!

 

[joejaz]

First of all, remember the immortal words of Ben Franklin when commenting about the first continental congress, "They are not your friends, they're people you work with, they will screw you first chance they get."

Tell the dude this is what you usually charge for an award winning home craft brew. Make it high, then add 10 percent more to the figure. Now tell him that since he is a good friend, you are going to take 10% off. Ask him how much he needs ....get the money up front.

PS, if he goes for it, IM me and I'll tell you how to make an infection in it.

 

[EdWort]

Brewpastor said it best. Take a pass on it.

Then email him this link to this thread.

Hey ... I didn't suggest genital mutilation. I merely suggested that the beer he brews for said event might benefit with a thorough ball sack washing.:rockin:

 

[jspence1]

Here's my take on the situation. No invite = No brewing specifically for the wedding. I'd explain that for a wedding he's going to want the major commercial beers for a broad based appeal (not everyone loves HB just because we do) Step up and be the bigger man and offer up a case of your finest for him and his bride. Just because he is being thoughtless doesn't mean he not a good guy. I remember 9 short years ago when I was planning my wedding I didn't even invite my best man. He found out about it when I called to ask when he wanted to go get our tuxedos. Weddings are stressful and mistakes are made. Give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Have you thought about sucker punching him in the crotchal region?

Total ******** move. I'm with Bobby on this one. Even if I could get $300 out of him for an 'equipment rental' I wouldn't do it. I'd tell him that you don't have time to do it and forget all about it.

 

[dismantle360]

Thanks guys you all have made me feel a hell of a lot better. Just the humor effect you have all added to your posts rocks.

Yes he said I’m not invited. This wasn’t a oversight it was a blatant "your not invited, please brew beer". So benefit of the doubt is way out the window.

Funny thing was had initially I been invited. Then asked if could brew a few batches for him and his buddies I would have done it for free.

Now I won’t let him taste the beer I brew regardless.

It’s amazing how things work out. Good thing I found out now instead of later when I invested in the perceived friendship.

 

[jspence1]

Well I had hoped he wasn't a ******. like they say ****** is as ****** does. Not even the tea bag ale?

What a dick.

It's like, Hey I'm having a party and you are not invited, but I want you to make some BBQ and help me clean up afterwards. Thanks Dude!

This is pretty low.

LMAO If you can find someone to agree to that I'm moving in next door to you.

Okay, um, how about an attempt to apply cap via hand capper to the upper portion of the primary feature of the male reproductive organs?

 

[barroomhero1234]

Show up wasted and bring a case of BMC
But that maybe could cause conflict

 

[Fusorfodder]

It was mentioned that this thread should be emailed to him. Better yet, email this thread to his soon to be wife.
