Yooper Giveaway

Well, I lose. As you already know, I'm pretty boring and I don't have a lake or fish or anything.

With two large dogs, at least Toby would be entertained!

We could plan a brewday, but history has shown that rather than brewing, all we end up doing is talking, drinking beer, and playing with our balls.

 

[AnOldUR]

Well, looks like I lose too. Can't even make Homercidal's offer since my wife is firmly against public displays of ball play.

Screw all that!! It was -14° Last night I want to sit on that dock and fish. Really miss the one to two weeks of winter (below freezing at night) of the ft Walton Beach Navarre beach area of fl.

Playing with balls is quite entertaining but we should plan to brew this summer. I have been on a brewing hiatus for a while so a summer brew session sounds very enjoyable right about now.

Well, we did brew a couple of times, remember? Remember that one time we all told Bob, "Watch this pot for us, ok? We'll be right back" and then we jumped on the boat. We came back an hour later, and Bob was sitting on a lounge chair, drinking a beer, and he said, "Hey, that pot boiled over a long time ago. I bet it's near empty now!" Um, yeah, thanks for watching it for us!

And, I don't recall you playing with your balls much. I remember you standing there holding them, but I don't remember you doing much else with them. I know you had blue balls, though.

But it's true that our 'brewdays' don't seem to involve much brewing at all. We're too busy talking, drinking beer, eating, and repeating that same scenario over and over and over.

Sounds like a perfect brew day to me except maybe the ball holding part. Don't really want anything near them while there are boiling pots around. Blanched balls anyone?
And who said a watched pot never boils?

Is there a problem with Yoopers that is not covered in the definition of Yooper I found? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f45/sometimes-you-just-have-shake-you-head-515298/
Or are they just hard to train? Or is this a better question for this thread? https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f45/potty-posting-486776/
I did not read that thread because like the whip you are brandishing it kinda scares me!

No, not really. Except, they are from another country, sort of. They speak like Canadians, kind of, and wear clothes like tchuks and choppers and swampers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yooper_dialect

"So, den, we go Green Bay, eh? You come with?" would be a common expression for example.

Told you it would go off the rails.Oh yeah!

Crap! More stuff to look up! (See above thread) I did my learning today. I should be taking a nap.

There's a sentence I use to demonstrate Northern Wisconsin/Yooper-Speak. Read this in your best "up nort', dere hey" accent:

The other day, me and Gene was fishing over by Moose Lake, and Gene hooked a muskie that was, oh fer cry-yie, pridner a couple, three foot.

 

[vanishingpint]

I hear the crappys are bitin out by the lake eh.

 

[vanishingpint]

JK. Only been north of the bridge twice.People there were the bestest.

 

[lschiavo]

I really wanted to link some of the local TV commercials on tv6. Couldn't find any. Believe me some yooper accents are worse than others.

 

[monkeyman1000]

Me, you and my beautiful wife could sit around drinking beer and talk about our mutual love of Eddie Vedder.

Ya der hey, for cripes sake. It was da monster of da deep, doncha know? We had a couple two tree beers first, und dat dere fish grew whiles we was having dem beers. It scairt us, doncha know?

Den Ollie said no more beers for him cuz youse guys taught he was crazed. Cripes.

 

[Bandit-brewer]

Yooper that der conversation sounds like one between the wife and her brotter who's straight off cape bretton island in nova scotia. Except your using too many consanents and not enough vowels, spit and rum. You could come brew with me. I'm right at the base of the rockies surrounded by trout filled lakes and the glorious northern light to watch as we drink wonderfull ales while watching the best show on earth.

 

[ubnserved]

I hear the crappys are bitin out by the lake eh.

Why aren't the crappie in the water? Or is it that they only start really biting when they are by the lake somehow torqued by not being in the lake? All kinds of weird things going on up north.

Between the yoopers with whips and the biting fish on land all the funny talking I don't think I will ever go up there.

I do not have one, of course. But the rest of youse guys do! Plus, I already linked to Da Yoopers' "Second week of deer camp" video, so they know what we look and sound like.

I pretty much look like a lumberjack, big and burly, if you squint.

Uff da!

 

[Melana]

Hey, I want a Yooper for a day! To be specific... for a summer day! I'll cook you Spaghetti squash carbonara and we can brew together! That would be awesome!

Wha!? ... no how no way. Oot kaunis, yah dere hey.

Screw all that!! It was -14° Last night I want to sit on that dock and fish. Really miss the one to two weeks of winter (below freezing at night) of the ft Walton Beach Navarre beach area of fl.

It aint gonna unthaw anytime soon. Grab a spud, some picks (safety an all), couple two tree tip-ups and a couple of jumbos and head out an so.

 

[Brewsncrabs]

I'd take you crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay and introduce you to the Eastern Shore way of crabbing! You really are making me jealous as I have about 5 months to wait to eat some.

Ha. Gotta like unthaw.

 

[Temptd2]

So if it UNthaws - then it freezes, right?

I'm so confused. LOL!!

You are too smart to be a below average yooper. Yes, all the lakes are unthawed around here this time of year.

 

[Roadie]

Let's see if I won Yooper for a day/weekend you could help me brew, we'd hit the Boulevard tour and a couple of micro brew pubs for some tasting. Then Melana would help us with dinner and homemade bread! Then we could chat into the wee hours. Fun.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I'm not going to get into the gory details of what I would do (this is general chitchat after all) but I WILL say it involves a slide-rule and aviator's goggles...
