Ha. Good one.

I think someone on here was asking about Oak Aged Burly Friar. This is hopped & then dry-hopped with Chinook, then barrel aged. Let that sink in a minute.

******* Portland.

******* Portland.

Somebody once called that, "The show that everybody watched the first episode, and hardly anyone kept watching after that."
I couldn't disagree, that was exactly what I did.

Really? I've seen every episode, multiple times.

EDIT: And while I'm at it, as a fan of the British office, I think the American Office is way too broad (read: dumb).

My first guess was OneDropSoup , and lo-and-behold...

 

[AnotherPint4Ole]

Damn! I'll have to see if I can remember who it was, and tell them they were wrong

I love Portlandia. As for Portland - no clue, as I've never been there.

Also like the British Office. Our family randomly ordered it on Netflix before I ever saw the American one, so I had a hard time adapting. Ever see Extras? Similar Ricky Gervais ridiculousness

Extras was good, but nowhere near as tight & focused as Office. Have you seen Larry Sanders or any Alan Partridge stuff?

Every time I think of British comedy I always imagine it as some sort of spinoff of this:

No, I haven't. I'm actually pretty bad at TV, tbh..

 

[AnotherPint4Ole]

Heading down to BG to try some Deep Lunch and get more G Funk

 

[OneDropSoup]

Me too, I just know what I know. They're kind of David Brent precursors.

Speaking of max trade values, I successfully negotiated a deal with my wife to allow me to attend "just one more voodoo release" in exchange of her being allowed to book a cruise. Now some one get me a gif that's at least a little insulting! Haha

My mental images of British comedy begin and end with Monty python. All the absurdly nonsensical goofy **** that everyone thinks is hilarious nowadays started with them. That lion roar skit that someone posted earlier reminded me exactly of Monty python, but not as funny.

Other than Holy Grail, I've never been able to get into Monty Python. It's always just seemed way too academic to me, like "This is a study in absurdity. Observe." The Kids in the Hall were my foray into comedy as an art form.

Like the show, love the city. The BA PDX forum people are the worst of the worst tho.

 

[pgh_penguins]

I enjoyed B2 ADWTD but it has probably been 7 months since I've had it. IMHO cognac works better for barleywines than it does stouts.

Back to 'Cakes, I remember being wowed by the original set at the 2nd Voodoo barrel room release/camp out on Arch St. I never had the double barrel version but I hope to soon remedy that jon2dubs Rjdillman

I plan to bring up the '14 and '15 sets to open up at BG the next time I come up to PGH. I can let you know when, and you can come try them.

Tequila Cake blew my socks off my ass. The other guys like Double Barrel more but I'm Mexican and all.

Tequila was really good when I went down to the '15 release, cognac was better in tap, and coconut was stupid good.

I got plenty to open, I just need a reason. This sounds like a good reason

I guarantee that you only think that because of your perspective having been conditioned to absurdity by kids in the hall and everything after...not that I can claim to have a different perspective or anything...but....I don't know...I grew up on the pythons...my dad and grandpa watched that **** religiously, so it was the first absurdness I ever became conditioned to. Everything else since in that same genre seems derivative and just much less funny.

Have you watched their sketches or just the movies?

Dead parrot, ministry of silly walks? Etc.... ? Seems right up your alley....

Like the show, never been to the city, LOVE the Ba thread.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think Monty Python is funny.

How not to be seen


in a similar vein, I would also put forth the suggestion of Fawlty Towers, probably my favorite Cleese of all time

that's acceptable.

I compare it directly to Rush... you either do or you don't, I've never ever met anyone that said "I like a couple of their songs"

i've been held to the fire many many times over me not getting The Simpsons or Family Guy.

Looney Tunes, Ren and Stimpy, B&B, Danger Mouse etc.. any time, all day long

May not be the unpopular opinion. So far it's just me and the old guy

Popular opinion: You are wrong.

Sorry, edited to add winky face.
