OMG, I laughed so hard. You have mad photoshop skillz.

You know what's funny? You are the only person about the same height as me. You're a midget.

What's this photoshop you speak of?

 

[smurfjuice]

Smurfy looking like he just gulped down a whole bottle of viagra.

Naww, i would just pee on my chest.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Well, another year I can't make it. I'll be in Denver, CO that weekend for the GABF.

 

[paulthenurse]

Winnah winnah

So maybe I don’t need an ambulance on standby.

Stop being mean to Smurfy. We’re not talking about the Pope’s Swiss guards here. There’s no height requirement to win the Masstoberfest Cup.

And there is no place for MCW on MCW crime.

I’m getting schooled by a six year old who has a driver, a putter and a seven iron in his bag

7 long years ago, I almost clicked "purchase" on an airline ticket to head to Masstoberfest.

I was gonna take in all the sights of Boston....the_bird was gonna take me to a Sox game at Fenway, dataz77 swore he'd attend if I did; shecky, too....the Bog was still just a dream of a hipster financier working on k-street, and construction on the crumbling raw-burnt pizza oven hadn't even begun. Hell, the LSU was just a barnicle-ridden eye sore in someone else's yard...

Yes, my friends, I didn't purchase that ticket, and in the words of Frost: "...Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all of the difference."

 

[paulthenurse]

I think if you as much more of a great big pussy tie wearing, “I know why the caged trout drown” poetry spouting kind of guy.

So does this mean you’re coming? I’ll get Sox tix

 

[paulthenurse]

The Masstoberfest Cup doesn’t fit in the overhead carryon space. Fair warning.

I have always wanted to visit this austere confluence of HBT genius and rabid brewing, but alas I will be unable to attend. Even the sweet siren call of burnt raw offerings, with a snide of sarcasm, is not enough to make me alter my plans. After all, I doubt I would fit in well, as I currently reside in the Mad Max barren wasteland of western MA; you know, that mythical area west of Trader Joe’s in West Newton but east of Tanglewood about which little is known, much is whispered and far less is cared? I’m sure my absence is why @Yooper is not coming.

I think you meant august. And side. We are snide. And sarcastic. Like now.

As a general rule, once you get to your fourth comma and a semicolon in the same sentence it is time for a period.

Now THAT is a side of sarcasm.

 

[balrog]

But...but...I didn't even get to using ellipsi--or hyphens (and completely eschewed parentheses).

 

[paulthenurse]

Don’t chew parenthesis, it’s worse for your teeth than burnt pizza.

 

[Daddymem]

Cool, I was hoping you were invited to the MGM Springfield opening. Got any money left Smurf?

 

[day_trippr]

Is there any chance that place will survive long term?

 

[paulthenurse]

I'd sooner go to Springfield, Illinois. Just sayin'

Got a few pine cones left.

 

[paulthenurse]

The Wampanoag use purple clam shells.
The Inuit use seal blubber.
Okies use their sisters.
Smurfs use pine cones.

It’s all good. And weird. Definitely weird.

 

[Daddymem]

What dumb luck! Who coulda guessed that the Masstoberfest Cup would be Kenny Chesney's 1,000,000 fan!

 

[paulthenurse]

It’s not nice to call Smurfy dumb.

 

[Daddymem]

You do NOT want to know what Smurf did with all the panties the ladies flung at him.

 

[Daddymem]

For some weird reason, following Smurf around watching all his shenanigans reminded me of something. You collecting socks again this year?

Thank GOD Smurf misread the memo on where the sock was supposed to be worn. Who do we have to thank for not correcting him as he walked out the door?

 

[paulthenurse]

John, Paul, George, Smurf and Ringo. It’s got a certain cache to it.


Or as Balrog would undoubtedly say, a certain cafe to it.

 

[paulthenurse]

He made an EAC Belgian.

 

[the_bird]

Went to the Wayback Machine for that joke, didn't you?

 

[paulthenurse]

My hard drive is full of **** like that. It’s why I can’t remember new stuff, my brain is full with Rico Petrocelli’s lifetime batting average and Jim Lonborg career strikouts. I need to find a way to format my noggin.


But who doesn’t remember the EAC thread? Hilarious.

 

[paulthenurse]

Not for nuttin' but my timing is, as always, spot on. Down to my last bunch of socks. For those of you who haven't come to Masstoberfest before, I ask folks to bring along a pack of socks. I work for the Mass Department of Public Health, working with a lot of disadvantaged folks. One of the biggest problems homeless people have is inadequate footwear. For the past few years I've been asking people who attend to do this and it works out great. That is my last pack of socks from last year and it will be gone by the party. If you can bring a bag of socks along they will go to a good cause. If you can't, not a problem, still come to the party.View attachment 585722

Balrog would likely snarkily say "indubitably" instead. But I'm partial to Alaskan Amber, having grown up in East Tennessee. It follows logically from the yogurt question, and has nothing to do with socks.
