The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

Didn't know him but RIP.

I'm farkin' sore this morning. Alice worked me like a hired hand all weekend. Fertilizer, weedkiller, power washed the deck and the house, moved everything off the porch so we could paint it, then did so, half a dozen trips to Home Depot, dug up and planted asparagus, onions, potatoes, spinach and lettuce. I should go back to bed.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Whaaa.....

 

[bluemoose]

Sounds like a healthy half-day of work. What did you do with the rest of the weekend?

 

[barneygumble]

I'm hitting the honey-do list hard too. Auto repars. Painting a room. Raked off the yard, fertilize. Its been stoopid. Tomorrow I finish the repairs, cold crash two beers, and move the furniture back into the painted room. After I've slept a few hours in the morning, of course. At work pulling yet another overnight.

 

[paulthenurse]

Say what you will about the recent Republican administrations, when they went to foreign lands and visited the local 'working class,' they at least didn't quibble over the bill. How low rent can you get?


And yes, I know that the Secret Service is non partisan . Shut up.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

What? Did Swillary run out on another bar tab?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Next B's game should be good and chippy. A lot of non retaliatory hits and taunting after ref's broke up the fistacufs. Have a nice summah Pitt.

 

[paulthenurse]

Seriously, does Alzner not expect to get bitch slapped for that little display last night? Who does he think he's farkin' around with?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Screw the bitch slap. I think the announcers said he had only one fighting penalty this year. Go toe to toe. The worse thing is Lucic then gets out of the headlock on the ice and proceeds to pummel him.

Actually Dale Hunter needs to be bitch slapped for complaining about cheap shots.

 

[Cape Brewing]

The best part of that whole thing with Alzner and Lucic was Jack Edwards call talking about Alzner making the "crying" gesture with his hand. It was something like... "of course Lucic can't return that gesture or else he would scratch his cornea with his Stanley Cup Champion ring!!"

Love Jack...

 

[paulthenurse]

Forgot that, that was funny as hell.

 

[paulthenurse]

Got home this morning and put s four pound brisket on the electric smoker. The brisket is cured with salt for a week then rubbed with garlic powder, crushed coriander seeds and coarsely crushed black pepper. Seriously good pastrami for supper tonight

What time is dinner? What time are we getting our blood pressure checked after words?

 

[paulthenurse]

Drunky and I did 17 miles this evening. The Pinch Flat Rollers are rolling.

And here's the proof.

Looking good, Paulie!

 

[homebeerbrewer]

And Paulie even wears pink. Why am I not surprised?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

[paulthenurse]

That's why I always have to find new roads to ride. You would think they would be better at building them.

 

[paulthenurse]

Happy Birthday, dear Fenway.
Happy Birthday to you.





There, can we tear the farkin' dump down now?

 

[the_bird]

You know, I was very much in the camp of "Bobby V might be exactly what this team needs, whether they like it or not." And, I still firmly believe that Tito had to go.

But, Jesus Christ, has there been a game in which Bobby V has *not* made a dumb managerial decision? Is he trying to prove how important he is to the game by proving how bad a manager he is? "Let's take Bard out, even though he's still pitching well!" "Oh, Bard's exausted, he's just walked a three batters, let's see if he can make it four." "Let's see what happens when I piss off my most important players by talking out of my ass."

"The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Bobby Valentine." Ought to be a show.

I'm half-convinced he's trying to get fired before the end of May, so he can take the summer off with a couple extra million in his pocket. Really, what else could he do wrong?

 

[Glibbidy]

Really, what else could he do wrong?

He could drop a three game sweep to the Yankees.

 

[the_bird]

Glibby! How you doing!

Just about to blow out of this popstand. the_Bean's been staying with the MIL, out in the Finger Lakes, during her vacation. Heading out to pick her up, and while we're out there to drink an appropriately excessive amount of wine at a fancy-shmancy wine-tasting dinner tomorrow night. I'll be eating better than you ****s tomorrow night, I'll guess.

 

[paulthenurse]

You going to Red Newt for dinner?

 

[paulthenurse]

Gibby, see you in Pawtucket on the 5th?

 

[barneygumble]

So where can I read the regs about nanobrewing that cape brewing is going to start? Not that I'm about ready to shell out for a 1bbl brewery just yet, but...

 

[paulthenurse]

Google is your friend.

 

[barneygumble]

Google is your friend.

I dont google since they link and track everything you do on line. Ruins my pr0n viewing experience.

I did a search. Seems like the farmer's license is getting the hammer unless one can demonstrate 50% mass grown production? hops isn't a huge problem but barley malt? I searched that too, and I found NO commercial barley growing operations in the state for use in malt.

 

[day_trippr]

Valley Malt in Hadley might disagree...

Cheers!

 

[Cape Brewing]

That 50% threshold went out the window almost as soon as they put it in.

The basic steps are:
1) sign a lease on space. You can't file any paperwork with the Feds until you have either the title or executed lease in hand on your space. It also almost impossible to use a private residence as the brewery in Mass
2) Get your TTB brewers license (the Feds)
3) Once your get your TTB license, you get your state license (in Mass it is the ABCC that grant it)

That is basically it except you need surety bonds, liability insurance for general liability and possible damage to your space. You can look forward to dealing with local building inspectors, plumbing inspectors, fire dept., etc.

Fuggin second rate search engines... Awesome to know!

Thanks! I knew they pulled a license recently for not following the 50% rule and was wondering how that all turned out. I am far from that point, but I might know of someone who's not.
