The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

Throngs of people go to that thing...

 

[Dave Sarber]

Throngs in thongs. That mental image is disturbing.

 

[balrog]

Say what?! Clearly I need to step up my game.

 

[balrog]

Ah, now I understand a little bit:

" *This data uses an estimate of average ethanol content of sold or shipped beer into gallons of ethanol (pure alcohol) before calculating per capita consumption estimates. For this data, the alcohol by volume value for beer is 0.045. "

 

[day_trippr]

So, that's weekly consumption, right?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I wonder why Alaska isn’t deep purple... probably costs too much.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Throngs in thongs. That mental image is disturbing.

That all depends on what kind of imagination you have.

 

[paulthenurse]

No, Dave is right. The very idea of ‘the usual suspects’ wearing thongs to Masstoberfest is enough to make me seriously consider cancelling the whole thing.

 

[day_trippr]

I think you'd have to move the event up to at least Masstemberfest for it to be warm enough for anyone to opt for a thong

Don't know about the two northwestern states, maybe their so drunk they keep spilling their beer.,, Or someone making the bucks selling it on the res.

But NH volume has a lot to do with ease of buying booze compared to most of the neighboring states. Rest area liqueur stores. And lower taxes on most things. (not that us home brewers got to worry 'bout that stuff).

Yup traveling around in NH, there are a few large rest areas, with most of the amenities, (except edible food) and a very large state liquor store, shopping carts and all. They don't really sell beer, but usually one can find a malt liquor beer like option, at least the last time I checked, a long time ago.

All the locals here know this of course, just informing the interlopers.

I just looked up thong, and I thought it was a kind of sandal. Very few people they look good on, and even unsanitary for them, to share public seating, that is.

 

[day_trippr]

All true...

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

No, Dave is right. The very idea of ‘the usual suspects’ wearing thongs to Masstoberfest is enough to make me seriously consider cancelling the whole thing.

Well, no one said the usual attendees... and I don’t think it was implied that said people would be wearing nuttin butta thong. Come on Paul who would know what you wore under the toga? Could have been a thong, though you seem to be someone that would make more comfortable clothing choices.

Well yes it could be footwear, in Hawaii they're called slippers, and many old timers called them flip flops for the noise they make when walking.

 

[Dland]

Us old timers around here called them beachwalkers, ....if I recall...

 

[Dave Sarber]

I guess I'm in the flip flop age group.
Not wearing a thong, but I am mashing an experimental tripel in my underwear.

 

[balrog]

First @Yooper , now you?! What is it with people brewing in alternate dress?

 

[Yooper]

First @Yooper , now you?! What is it with people brewing in alternate dress?

Or total lack of dress? Really, I avoid getting my clothes dirty that way.

 

[balrog]

I will admit there is a certain intelligence to that thinking, after I carefully tried to pour the 5gallons from the 10 gallon pot into the keg opening one time and spent the next several hours cleaning floors, pants, shoes, etc. Beer drinking may have been involved.

 

[Dave Sarber]

Just laziness. It's 6:30, I'm temporarily jobless, and see no reason to get dressed, but there is reason to keep the pipeline full.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Safety tip, if wearing boots whilst brewing wearIng long pants with the cloth over the boot, not tucked into the boot. Seriously, if hot wort is spilled on pants it will not collect a large quantity in the boot and cook the foot. But I suppose most of us are smaht enough to know that already.

 

[Dland]

Same applies to welding slag. Anyway, brewing outdoors in the buff would result in a lot of bug bites around here right now.

Switched to ale yeast last sunday, made a hearty cream ale, but rye malt as main adjunct instead of corn, kind of like many of my "pre-prohibition" lagers. Keeping the pipeline full for sure.

Nope. Flip flops and boxer briefs. So many scars on the bod, it don't matter no mo.

I'm proud to have helped NH become the top beer drinkers in the nation.

Edit: They're only including 14 year olds and up. Some states may be higher if they included everyone.

 

[paulthenurse]

You are also one of those folks referenced re: scalding burns and falls from high ladders/staircases/stepstools/high spots in the driveway that result in elevated "died while brewing beer" category that Dr. Faucci tries real hard to nor talk about.

Hey. we get it, we try to avoid discussing you with normal folks too.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Well, I only fell off the 6 foot step ladder from about 4 feet up, and I somehow managed to not scald myself when the HLT full of scalding hot water came down with me. And I didn't break any bones, so that's a plus.

 

[day_trippr]

I think I read once that 80% of fatal falls were from heights of 6' or less.
So you beat the odds

 

[homebeerbrewer]

97.5% of all statistics are made up, so I really didn't beat the odds. But I did feel lucky that day.

 

[Dave Sarber]

I feel lucky every day. I was really shocked when I made it to my 21st birthday, and that was a loooong time ago!
