Remembering ismellweird this November

[zippyclown]

Hi all,

Occasionally I find myself re-reading that tragic Sewage in Kettle thread and I just realized this morning that last week marks 4 years since that chaos unfolded. It motivated me to assemble what I think were mell's greatest hits. Serious or not, the guy was half genius and half complete idiot, and so I hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane as much as I enjoyed putting this list together.

In no particular order:

It happened very quickly and you can imagine my surprise to see sewage in my pot and my buddy throwing up

He actually asked me specifically not to brew it because he didn’t want to put me to work. However we are in contact with the caterer and as a gift to him I am switching brews and using my beer instead of his original concept

that should cover me from having committed a crime which I would like to avoid at this wedding

In fact I've managed to get the money refunded directly back to myself and I'll be gifting it back to him.

I'm in the truck using text to speech, it's very difficult, probably can't do much of this but I'll be in rapid city with my plumber eh woah that was a close one.

Yes thank you, Mario confirmed this wasn't a clean water filter and shouldn't be used

Lesson learned don’t just go pulling parts from your neighbors trash without knowing exactly what it is.

Next week when its trash day I'll just do what I did and wait until after midnight and just put it back with the trash.

why invent the wheel when I've already got what I need to just make it.

Hi guys, just looking for instructions on how to make a water tight box or vessel for the beer, ideally by friday at 3.

Thanks everyone I'm going with the simpler plan of just mulching the board(s) after sanding

If what you say is true, and I'm doubtful -- then it means my brewery will be in the next OJ Simpson movie.

He gave me that "****" wink with his eye as he left

OJ is the guy who was arrested for having his memorabilia stolen

With my luck this is a documentary about celebrity impersonators that nobody will ever see. Maybe they'll pay me for a product mention at the very least!

I had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. I spent it by myself working on the pipe in the barn with my plumber buddy

There are dozens of beers I drink every day that haven't been around that long.

people want to see a small brewery like is_mell_weird succeed over a big mass produced giant like Anheiser's Bush

In New England because of the very cold winters they prefer a style of IPA that is very green and cloudy right out of the fermenter.

I agree I am lucky. Lucky like Jerry or Drew or Kato. These guys didn’t have to work very much but now are famous and rich

First time on the bike after 30 years he had a horrible accident he literally drove off a cliff.

What a field day you will have when you learn my Uncle's name was Cliff.

The world needs to heal and this is why I will bring them as much of my beer as possible.

Guys I’m reaching the end of my ropes

Yes comma I can start a new thread.

There was a guy once who made something and it was in a movie and now it’s a common household item. That movie was E.T. and the product was the speak and spell.

You could just say that and move on. Instead you all insist on the gang style verbal pummeling.

Don’t have good clubs and no money to buy as all of my cash was put into a bitcoin. Not even a bitcoin just a piece of one.and I don’t even know where it is.

No, sorry, it’s not an actual coin it’s a cryptic currency

Can you believe Vegas is the one last place on earth with legalized rodeo, can’t say I shocked.

Why does it say open in new tab. Open in new window. Close chrome. Close. What the ****.

I told them it was a very professional look alike but how do they expect me to know his name when he pretends to be somebody else.

Based on what Youre saying I’m probably wrong about rodeos being illegal.

I was thinking about another one that has been happening where animals are taught to fight for hundreds of years, something I find highly offensive

I taste maybe onion and a spice that reminds me of pie, I think clothes. Just a well crafted beer.

i'm thinking to try things that take it next level. My cousin works at a factory and has access to bad cupcakes

Put my shoes on your feet. How do they feel. Not too good, I bet.

I had a similar discovery regarding a cupcake stout. I seem to always be stumbling on things.

I call that "monkey genius"

Ah, the wit and wisdom of ismellweird. Good times.

That's a good example of homebrew humor!
They're possibly more entertaining this way, when ripped from their context.

Reminds me of the (secret) compendia of outstanding quotes and phrases by our clients... when working at service providing agencies.

Oh no, they are WAY more entertaining in context!

 

[bracconiere]

"I" really don't see, besides the sewage thing, what was wrong with ismellweird?

 

[MaxStout]

IIRC, ismellweird was one of the more "fun" characters here and he seemed to be a good sport about some of the shiat we threw at him.

There was another interesting member, the drywall beer guy. We all got some mileage out of that thread.

 

[MaxStout]

Let's not forget the legendary Gary Oak.

And the guy who managed to alienate the board on about his 2nd post.

And, of course, the guy who wanted to pitch boogers into his beer.

 

[Dland]

Was Gary the one who wanted to somehow incorporate babies in the wort?

 

[MaxStout]

IIRC, that was the reason he got the boot from Beer Advocate.

I wonder what he's up to these days...

 

[bracconiere]

i don't think that was gary, before my time...but i remember someone saying someone was a comedic troll and asked it....but when i tried googling with site thing and everything to find the thread....all i got was a bunch of kombucha stuff about babies?

maybe just a misunderstanding between a beer brewer, and bucha brewer?

edit: and i find it funny i'm the ONLY one trying to defend the fallen!!!

 

[Dland]

Because but for the grace of Mod(s) there go you?

Just kidding, I liked the funny ones too, but many of the vanquished were just unpleasant trolls.

Poor Mell, never got that brewery going either...I wonder what happened LoL

i just remember poor dear to my heart bearcat, guy showed up about the same time as i did...and asked i want to save money on my hooch....i was like "something i can contribute?"...

 

[MaxStout]

I was never sure if his handle ismellweird meant:
Is Mell Weird
or
I Smell Weird.

Guess we'll never know.

 

[grampamark]

I was never sure if his handle ismellweird meant:
Is Mell Weird
or
I Smell Weird.

Guess we'll never know.

I wondered the same thing. I decided that, since “Mel” was usually spelled without the second “l”, it must be I Smell Weird. But, as noted, we’ll never know.

Dude definitely said he made a mistake and it was supposed to be Is Mell Weird?

He played it off like it wasn't a big deal but man was it LoL

with the sewage thing...they mean the same right? just one is a question, the other is a statement? but this is all before my time..... lol

Yeah he definitely said more than a few times that he meant "IsMellWeird" but without the capitalization it took on another unfortunate meaning. Supposedly didn't realize it until people here pointed it out. And by that time had already printed it on signage and marketing materials for his new brewery lol.

 

[Kent88]

The post that started it all

Hi, I'm new to the site. I'm Mel from North Dakota. My grandfather in Illinois was planning a brewery and purchased all equipment but passed away and I've been given his stuff. I don't even know what most of it is but several large tanks i assume for bubbling the beer and sump pumps and computer equipment. I admit i'm over my head and where I live they don't do much brewing but I plan to use it. Growing up people would always ask "Is Mell weird?" and the answer is no, but my brewery someday will be Is Mell Weird brewing, I'm already working on some paperwork. Anyway nice to meet you all and I will probably ask a lot of questions and things. I don't know much about making a beer, i was always more into hunting but have drank a fair amount of the cheapest beer in my time. Maybe to much and that's why they call me weird? Ha! See you around.

What happened ? Did he die ?

 

[Dland]

He got banned, I believe.

In my opinion there is no way he was not aware of the duel meaning of his handle.

Came across another of the departed, randy_bugger, and noticed his repeated posts in this thread, starting at post #13. Would not be that weird except it was 2013: Beer snob meme generator

That's actually really creepy. I mean, coronavirus has always been around (the common flu is a type of coronavirus) and Lysol has always listed on the back that it kills coronavirus.... But in my entire life I'd never heard the word used even in a joking context. I've always been 1% sure there are active time travelers on our planet, because of coincidences like this.

Wow man. That's heavy

 

[passedpawn]

I'm probably the one, though not sure. I banned lots (1000's) of spammers that you don't care about. I did ban a few members that I really regret. They asked for it and deserved it, but they were also frequent contributors to this site and provided some awesome and funny content. Anyone remember @cheezydemon3?

Mods are here to enforce rules they didn't create. There is, as with all things in life, some subjectiveness. But most permabans are earned, often repeatedly.

 

[bracconiere]

duel meaning

LOL

 

[Dland]

This is a pretty relaxed forum, which is why I waste some time here. Forums w/o some kind of civility expectations often become unpleasant. Thank you for your efforts here.

[passedpawn]

Thank you for your efforts here.

It was my pleasure! But I'm also glad to be done with it. I'd say it's a thankless job, but then there you are @Dland!

 

[bracconiere]

+1 i know i goof off a lot, but i try and keep it somewhere in between Chevy Chase, and Jim Carey.....

 

[MaxStout]

Anyone remember @cheezydemon3?

Now that was one "interesting" cat.

 

[Kent88]

AFAIK, 'mell is not banned

 

[bracconiere]

AFAIK, 'mell is not banned

just avoided?

 

[Kent88]

I am reluctant to say any more than:

To my knowledge, mell's hiatus is self-imposed.

 

[MaxStout]

Hadn't seen the Randy_Bugger 2013 coronavirus thing until now, and I was around here then.

Maybe he's living in the jungle somewhere, eating bats.

 

[Homebrew Harry]

Because but for the grace of Mod(s) there go you?

I'm still hanging on here by the good grace of Yooper. Gosh it's hard to be good some days.

 

[bracconiere]

Gosh it's hard to be good some days.

i just figure as long as i don't go on all caps cussing sessions when someone tells me i'm an idiot.....i'll be alirght...


and just for some comedy, this is spontaneous....

 

[Homebrew Harry]

i just figure as long as i don't go on all caps cussing sessions when someone tells me i'm an idiot.....i'll be alirght...

Caps and cussing are not my thing. I have a talent for pissing people off with out cussing or even trying in some cases.

 

[zippyclown]

Maybe Mells not banned. I don’t remember him doing anything worth banning

 

[grampamark]

His profile indicates he’s still a member. He wasn‘t here long, but he cut a wide swath while he was here.

 

[Kent88]

I miss @Billy-Klubb
