I reserved the tent site right next to yours. See you on Saturday.

[Cape Brewing]

yeah... like you're fitting into a tent. It would look like a tent colored snake was eating you and sh!tting you out at the same time. Hey, that might be a good thing for me. If nay bears come into camp they'll think you're a human sausage, go after you and leave my tent alone.

 

[paulthenurse]

No, I wouldn't count on that if I were you. I'll be over at your tent site all weekend anyway, hanging out with my best buddy. We can have a campfire and sit around it at ngiht and sing camp songs like Kumbya. I'll bring my guitar and genuine Bob Dylan harmonica holder. Ohh, ohhh, ohhh! We can make S'mores, too!

Here's a song I made up for the weekend. Everyone knows the tune, it goes to "Micheal Rowed the Boat Ashore."

I'll start with the first verse,

"Cape Brewing likes little boys,
Ped-o-phil-ia,
Cape Brewing likes little boys,
Ped -o- phe-e-lia."

Babalu, you come in here and we'll sing it as a round.

"Cape Brewing likes little boys,
Ped-o-phil-ia.
Cape Brewing likes little boys,
Ped-o-phe-e-lia"

Ok, now everyone join in...

"Cape Brewing likes little boys..."


Oh man Brian, we're going to have so much fun! I can hardly wait till the weekend!

Whose bringing the lobsters?

 

[paulthenurse]

He ate them all.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Not all of 'em... just a few. We boiled them up and SWMBO made lobster bac & cheese outta a few. Damn that's good stuff. Brie with some crisped up pancetta with some lobster meat. Good stuff.

Thats nice, at least you made something the two of you could enjoy without thinking of anyone else.

 

[Cape Brewing]

that's crap! I tried to make it up to you guys Sunday night (not that Friday night was my fault to begin with) and I got the silent treatment!

Crap?

I told you my wife was working an overnight shift Saturday INTO Sunday so Sunday wouldnt be an option anyway.
Must have got lost in the Gloucester/Boston shuffle in yer head.

Seriously, dont worry about it.
Its not like Lobster is my wifes favorite food or anything.......................its only 1A

 

[paulthenurse]

That lobster mac sounds pretty good, I might try that some time. Hey where is the meeting tonight?

It was at Brians humble abode

We had a presentation on SOWAH BEEAHS!

Good time, funny to look around at a meeting that started with 18 guys and one by one during the drinking of the SOWAH BEEAHS the were dropping like flies
By the end there were only about 7 of us still there

Did some blending that made some of us go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :rockin:

 

[paulthenurse]

Ya, I knew I couldn't make it, I worked last night, I was just trying to get a pre-meeting rise out of His Nibs.

Are you going to New Hampshire or will you run out of chain first?

 

[paulthenurse]

No my pal Drunken is vetting married on Saturday and ve brewed all the beer and I'm cooking 75 racks of rind and a dozen turkeys for the reception. Have fun singing the song I wrote for Brian around the fire

 

[Cape Brewing]

... hittin' the strawberry port a little early today?

 

[paulthenurse]

I f'ing hate the keyboard on my iPhone. It sucks worse than..... A whole bunch of stuff.

Not as much as CapeBrewing but close.

[Cape Brewing]

yeah... it's the phone.

Few things

CB makes a hell of a breakfast even though it cost our club winning the peoples choice because breakfast was late and we were late in getting set up. No braggin rights for us, thanks CB

We have a WARRIOR in our club. Guy was crab walking two nights in a row to his tent and then rises from the ashes hours later to start popping corks on double digit ABV beers with whoever was left at the campfire.

We have a quiet one that is a laugh riot once he gets a few in his system. Party on dude, party on.

I told all of you to pace yourself Friday night, good job listening........ at least only one of you puked.

Dropping the meatballs = EPIC FAIL!

Most beers on tap at the beer garden
SSBC bishes!
10 including one on the beer engine

Be there or be square in 2010

That's crap... I rallied like a champ to get that breakfast made and it was top notch stuff and I was so hurtin' I couldn't even freakin' eat it! And our second place finish had ZERO to do with me... maybe if a certain brewer had brought more than a gallon of the stuff we wouldn't have run out half way through the day... and that was after we were supposedly late!!

I was blown away... seriously... it was absolutely effin astonishing. You forgot to mention that he actually fell on top of his tent Saturday night (and i swear I heard a tent pole snap) and then rallied a few hours later.

Hey... the puker wasn't me... Jesus, I haven't puked in a lotta years.

Dropping the meatballs = EPIC FAIL!

yeah, that was a huge fail. The 98 pounds of grease soaked meat that we ate between everything else was an epic WIN though.

All in all it was a tremendous weekend... SSBC representin'

 

[paulthenurse]

In the intrest of complete disclosure I feel it's important to note that I was nowhere near this event.

I also was noticing how often CB gets blamed for failures. I find that very interesting. He genearally deflects blame by pointing the finger at someone else and copping to a lesser charge. Very interesting.

Were late, no big deal.
Next year I'll go around and get a calcutta going and we'll have at least two beer engines :rockin:

Other clubs had stamps in their cups when we were setting up (we meaning me, Frank and SG) so we were behind from the start.

Running out had nothing to do with it, half the girls that put stamps in our cup were telling me "this is for that Golden Ale"

All in all a GREAT TIME, next year Frank and I will have our breakfast on the road (IE delivered)

 

[Cape Brewing]

Welp... if that was the case, maybe you shouldn't have made me drink so much Friday night. I kept telling guys, "Hey, we have a long day tomorrow. We want to put our best foot forward and make the club proud!" ... and you kept saying, "Eff the club!! Open that bottle of Westy Twelve!! DO IT!!! And open some barleywine!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!! Let's do funnels of RIS!!!"

I distinctly remember that.

I was like, "wow, we came all the way up here to build a great reputation for our club and all you want to do is drink??"

and you were like, "MORE ALCOHOL!!!! NOW!!!!"

I just didn't want you to drink alone so I had a couple as well.

That's how I remember it.

Know what is even more interesting? Trying to figure out where you buy your 54 in waist and 15 inch leg pants.... Are those bad boys specially made?? Is there an oompa loompa store somewhere that normal people don't know about? Do you buy "normal" pants and take 'em to a tailor? What's a pair of pants like that even COST? I guess you could just buy really big pairs of shorts and have the legs tapered in or something. How... the... F... do you do it???

Dude, you have issues.
We're all adults. Besides, the Westy was opened pretty early in the evening. I didnt even realize we had a #1 Allagash Triple until I got home and soaked the labels off the bottles :rockin:

Seriously, at three clams an entry we (club peeps) need to enter more beers next year.
