an actual beer question:

heard the White Stout already kicked at rock bottom, was that the only place it was going to be?

Rock Bottom had a kickoff event tonight. I am sure all of the PCBW beers will be available at other venues during the next week.

I would say everyone should look for the Helltown/Spoonwood/Dancing Gnome, Greenfield Bridge is Falling Down IPA if they get a chance.
 
i've been held to the fire many many times over me not getting The Simpsons or Family Guy.

Please never put those two in the same sentence. Thank you.


I know that's going to come off extremely *******, so I'm sorry.

Yeah, they should've done what the Simpsons did, and hang on for one more season (Eight) after the show really started to show cracks (Seven) directly after its absolute prime (three through six)

Thank God the Simpsons ended right after Season 8.

Don't try to argue, I know it did.

It hasn't existed since then.

No episodes.

At all.
 
Matter a fact all of his stuff is that way I hated Ted but laughed really hard at the party scene and don't think I laughed the rest of the movie
 
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....
I've seen enough Python to come to the conclusion that I shouldn't have to try so hard to like something. Like I said, so much of it just seems like something I'm "supposed" to find funny on a cognitive level. Most Mel Brooks is the same way, it's just so obvious & formulaic to me. Ever read "Comedy by the Numbers"?

Fair enough...I feel that way about a great number of things, beer included (do we still talk about that here? :confused: )

Uh uh. But I definitely resent that you think the pythons are anything but organic. :mad: What formula could they possibly have been using back then? They invented the ******* algorithm.

I had a pour of the hop farm/pizza store "elderberry" saison tonight. Akin to this:

It's not bad. I could see it appealing to the masses in Bloomfield and Hampton (so they can serve it cheater pints). It was just so full of nothing that I was shocked it was 7%

(Nate you don't like Mel brooks??)
 
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 was really good when I went down to the '15 release, cognac was better in tap, and coconut was stupid good.

Would love to be as well, assuming it's not on a ******* Saturday afternoon.

Apparently, nate just doesn't get jokes

Other than Holy Grail, I've never been able to get into Monty Python.

Not fearing the accusations about the " dead horse"...further pondering this here statement. Curious how you feel the holy grail is an aberration from the rest of their material?

Maybe it's not, but it's enough to get me by. Maybe I'm wrong & just don't get what makes Monty Python gut-bustingly, spit-takingly hilarious.
