The "Dear" , "Sincerely" thread

[Agent]

Thanks for the video @Kent88 - As usual I attempted to clone something I've never once tasted before. So the fact that it may taste kinda weird and off-putting would tell me I'm on the right track then!

 

[seatazzz]

Dear HBTers who were not of legal (or otherwise) (or maybe not thought of yet) drinking age in the mid-80's,

Maybe I missed it, but I'm sure someone out there has tried to clone wine coolers. Many were the Friday nights me and my gal friend hit up the over-16 dance clubs after pounding 3-4 Bartles & Jaymes (bought for us by her enabling uncle) in the parking lot.

Sincerely, maybe we shouldn't look that up.

Dear @seatazzz ,
Grab your favorite 1.5L bottle of Arbor Myst and combine it with a quart of seltzer water in a 1 gal mini keg and carb to your desired level of fizzyness.
Best served in a sorority house next to a batch of jungle juice or harry buffalo.
Sincerely,
Don't do that to yourself.

Dear Southern California,

It hasn't rained in ~8 months. I haven't brewed in 4+ years. I finally get my garage and fermentation chamber back to a state in which I can start brewing again, schedule my first brew day back for Sunday, and it's going to be raining ALL day?

Why?

Sincerely,
I didn't leave the Midwest and move here to experience disruptions due to weather

 

[Kent88]

Dear Cali transplant,

We in the midwest are having a great time after a nasty cold snap. The lakes are ice fishing ready now. My Jeep even decided it doesn't want to start anymore until it gets a little work done. My laundry machine noped out and gave me a frozen line error. Some area schools even closed.

Anyways, we'd be happy to have you back.

Sincerely,
The place with the greatest climate on earth

Dear Midwesterner,

You should research "Stockholm Syndrome" and contemplate what it means with regards to your relationship with your climate.

Sincerely,
You live someplace WAY too cold, said by someone who lived there long enough to know

Dear Hbt'ers who live somewhere where there are actual seasons other than Hot as B*llz and Cold Constant Drizzle,

Thbbbbbt.

Sincerely, someone who would like snow more than once every two years. Frickin FLORIDA got snow and all we have is cold wet rain. THBBBBBTTTT.

 

[Kent88]

Dear @seatazzz ,

I don't know when these memes were made, but it was probably this decade. Enjoy!

Sincerely,
Living in the most fantastic climate

Being able to drive on your favorite lake without being Jesus has its perks.

Doubly so when they got the ice race tracks set up.

I still get a bit nervous driving out on the frozen lakes if it isn't completely obvious that it's safe to do so.

Maybe some day I'll get a gator to take on the ice like my father in law does.

You mean people with low premiums and people with high premiums?

I was just thinking that driving on ice has to be a practice frowned on by the insurance industry.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

I was just thinking that driving on ice has to be a practice frowned on by the insurance industry.

There are many practices that are frowned upon by the insurance companies that I practice regularly--hence why I will never participate with their "safe driver apps". They jacked my rates up, not for speeding, but working an off shift schedule. Apparently it is far more dangerous to drive on the nearly empty roads in the dark than the highly congested roads in the light...

Dear Zima curious/nostalgic,

I saw this recently. Thought I'd share:



Sincerely,

Dear Zima Curious,
As I racked the "ZIMA Gold", I gave SWMBO a sample. Aside from the Mr. Yuck face, her description of "It's like a one-note white wine without any body" was actually really astute.

Nailed it?

For anyone at Fond Du Lac this weekend, if a Turtle is serving Zima, we might have some bonus beers behind the table.

Sincerely,
Turtle serving Zima this weekend

Dear "$75 fresh dumped barrels" 30 minutes away,

Not today, Satan, not today. My liver is not taking the Spike challenge.

Dear All,
Roomba.
Sincerely,
Mr. Anti-Vaccer.
PS I also hate ironing, but that's a whole 'nuther story

 

[Kent88]

 

[seatazzz]

Dear Mr Anti-vaccer,

1. I just spent almost $250 on a catbox, cannot afford a roaming vacuum/cat taxi (at least according to youtube) that would shortly be completely jammed up with my younger dog's hair (seriously it's everywhere). Also said young dog would either try to mate with it or kill it. He's pretty but not very smart.
2. I misread 'vaccer' for 'vaxxer' and thought I was going down a long road I don't want to travel. I realize now you meant VACUUMING.
3. That's what dryers are for.

Sincerely, possibly the laziest housewife in the world

 

[seatazzz]

Dear Confused Keanu,

I think he meant anti-vacuuming.

Sincerely, I had to read it five times before I figured it out.

 

[mac_1103]

Dear I had to read it five times before I figured it out,

Keanu is still confused about how the roomba is going to get the cat hair off of the automated litter box.

Sincerely,
Completely neutral on vacuuming but pretty vehemently anti-cat.

Dear Confused Keanu,

Thank you

 

[balrog]

sincerely

Dear Going Back to Coffee,

You ARE funny. And many things sound funny in my head. Unfortunately my lack of filters usually lets them out before I can edit them.

Sincerely, going back to this extremely tasty NEIPA now
