Theres nothing macho about having to express your honest opinion about shades of pink.:ohahaha!!

wow big_daddy_d what happened?

[big_daddy_d]

army combatives training. My partner locked in a guillotine choke and me being the stubborn fool I am refused to tap and tried to posture out of it, so he starts locking it in tighter, his arms weren't in the right place so crushed my throat instead of just cutting off the carotid arteries. Went to the ER with trouble swallowing because of pain. Ended up having a scope shoved through my nose down into my throat for them to check out the vocal cords and stuff... All's well now but what a day...

[crankwalk]

man that's crazy.. its good that everything turned out okay in the end.. scope up the nose/down the throat doesn't sound too good though :D

[outrageous]

sounds brutal and a colonoscapy the oppisite way.

[big_daddy_d]

Ha ha, Sorry guy's but I've been on three vacations to the states hiking and camping at various national parks and me and my brother were always in agreement. YOUR beer sucks.

Many a night we sat around our little campfire drinking the local brew and meeting up with friendly fellow campers. But somehow we never managed to get into the same drunken states as our guests.

You really should try a a good old traditional pub crawl in the UK. Serious alcohol abuse followed by a total sense of amnesia. I've had whole weekends just disappear.

[KeenDean]

This is so lame, but thought you should all be in on it.

We had to have some photo's taken for our companys internal internet pages. Basically every department had to submit details of their employees. Each person had to write about themselves, the job responsibilites and of course had to have their picture taken. So just for laughs, here's a picture of me looking like a right tool.

Unfortunately our "brew" doesn't pack the same potency as our european counterparts... damn I wish my job would land me in europe

[crankwalk]

Ha ha, Sorry guy's but I've been on three vacations to the states hiking and camping at various national parks and me and my brother were always in agreement. YOUR beer sucks.haha!! some of our beer is pretty good - Sam Adams, Dogfish Head, and other smaller microbrews. But I do enjoy a good Tetley's or Boddington's - draft is much better but hard to find, although the pint cans with the widget inside isn't bad - much more easily found here. Fursty Ferret was one of my favorites when I visited the UK - never seen it here though.

http://www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk/images/beer_headers/i_fursty.jpg

and I was also introduced to other European non UK brews like Carlsberg, Carling, Stella, Kronenbourg - I tend to buy them at restaurants here when I see them on the beer list now, over the traditional "import" beers.

Beer = Good :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Ahhhhhh Stella Artois, or as we call it here "wife beater". It does rock the old grey matter. So you like traditional hand pulled ales, wow. I take my hat off to you sir, as even I'm not mad enough to take on such brews.

I don't know why you claim Sam Adams is good. The last time me and my bro were there we drank through a slab of the stuff, to no effect.:eek:

One last hilarious thing I found when I was there. You get ID'd every where you go. I picked up a six pack in a store and was asked for ID. At the time I was 33! Now I know I still turn heads when the ladies look at me when I'm out on the town, but I certainly didn't look 21 at the time! It just gave me an extra excuse to flirt with the female cashiers.:p

[crankwalk]

"wife beater"! hadn't heard of that for beer.. this type of white tank top is what we call "wife beater" over here

http://myke.komar.org/Images/40night/6.jpg

And I think we might be mistaking "good" for "strong" - Sam Adams is good (taste wise) vs. some other more common brews such as, i don't know.. Milwaukee's Best? (aka BEAST).

Dogfish Head, the microbrewer that I mentioned earlier - makes a "120 Minute IPA" , which is 20% ABV

;)

As for ID'ing here in the states - yes, I have seen signs around that say "if you look under 35 we ID" or something like that.

:cheers:

[KeenDean]

:eek:Scary photo:eek:

When I visited Vegas, you could spot the British a mile away. Besides wearing their favourite soccer team jerseys (it's like a tribe thing), looking lobster-fied by the searing heat, but because when ever they went to the bar to buy drinks, they would produce their pass-ports as proof of age. So funny:D

Over hear the drink limit is 18, and it was hilarious to see students on vacation hitting the town looking for a good bar to get slaughtered in and denied entry because your drink age limit is I believe 21. hee hee. How sad they looked.

[crankwalk]

haha that's true! Its 18 to party, 21 to drink.

[lopez17]

Most of the good beer in the states is found in the local Microbreweries. I generally despise most every beer found in the supermarket after drinking German beer when I was younger. The brewmasters at the local places do a better job controlling the fermentation process and finding a balance between too much hops, rice, barley, etc. and ending up with something resembling warm ****.

[outrageous]

lawlz@that pic.

school blew.

and Im more of a liquor kinda person. many of the domestic beers taste like **** water(if I had to guess what ****water taste like)

europeans in vegas are like spotting little red ants on asphalt, mildly easy, a nice deep red, and always complaining about our ***** powered cars and huge SUVs.

[trusnyper]

Anyone know how Euopean beer is in comparison to Canadian...from what i heard Canadian is supposed to have a hight alcohol content than domestic....

[big_daddy_d]

did I mention I hate the dentist. 2 hours and a temporary crown later I'm back at work :D I need a beer tonight...

[s4mm4n16]

a beer sounds good right now think im gonna go steal some from the pops

[trusnyper]

If i wasnt at work :(:cheers:

[lopez17]

Anyone know how Euopean beer is in comparison to Canadian...from what i heard Canadian is supposed to have a hight alcohol content than domestic....

It generally does, however this pertains to Canadian Beer bought in Canada. The flavor and the overall quality of the beer, while better than most domestic American beer, is still lacking compared to European beers. Molson XXX is a good example of a solid kick me in the butt Canadian Beer that we used to get in Ontario but could only bring a sixer back across the border. I grew up near the Canadian border and we used to drink lots of Canadian beer when I was in my early 20's. It was a shock, upon moving to DC, that we started getting charged higher "import" prices for beer that we always took for granted. :) About the only US beer I'll drink anymore is Yuengling.

[trusnyper]

Hell yeah on the Yuengling! LOL Until im too far gone to care then stoop to the Coors Light...LOL

[big_daddy_d]

i'll stick to my bud ice, when I'm feelin froggy I'll go with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Local microbrewery here in Hawaii is decent too...

[KeenDean]

Hmmmmmmm, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale:cheers:. Now theres a nice American beer. Theres one store a couple of miles away that stocks it. Me and my bro downed a couple during the superbowl final. We had a mini superbowl party thing going on, as there ain't too many football fans over here.

[big_daddy_d]

anything put out by sierra nevada is good beer IMO.

[jenious]

Portland Oregon, there are microbrews all over the place. :cheers:

Im preparing to set up a beer marathon visiting all the local breweries one after another.

Has the east coast figured out how to make beer yet? I'd be happy to send over a pamplet or something...

[crankwalk]

Has the east coast figured out how to make beer yet?lol! yes there's a few good ones around here.. dogfish head as I mentioned (delaware), magic hat (vermont), and old dominion (virigina) has great beer but I hear budweiser just bought them out.. i guess they are no longer a microbrew :P

[big_daddy_d]

didn't realize beer talk was gonna be such a huge hit in this thread lol

[crankwalk]

it would seem everyone here loves beer about as much as paintball

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

[outrageous]

there are more white lightning ppl around me than anything else......speaking of that.....

[big_daddy_d]

[KeenDean]

Man that was hilarious, and I quickly called in the misses to see it. Oh how we laughed.:D

I must admit, when I was younger I once did the same to my younger brother. He jumped out at me from behind a corner, with the intention of making me empty my bowel. I lashed out, busting his nose, and I took off screeming like a girl.

[jrmiller]

[armyofeclipse]

[crankwalk]

Guinness is good! I like to make black & tans with it :D

-Andy

[crankwalk]

lol, I meant these

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_tan

[armyofeclipse]

nah i'm a big fan of an irish carbomb:D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_car_bomb

-Andy

[crankwalk]

Yeah, those are pretty good - lots of fun at bar crawls but they usually are REAL expensive since they'll charge you full price for half the pint guiness, and full price for a shot of baileys. haha.

[armyofeclipse]

yay curdling!!!!

[crankwalk]

hmm, I had AP biology and AP history many years ago - didn't do well in either. haha.

[lopez17]

I'm so glad I'm done with that crap. The only thing worse is two semesters of OR in college.... :tdown: I really didn't need two Masters levels courses in Stochastic and Deterministic Modeling to do anything relevant to my day job.

[outrageous]

yeah. its something taht actually makes me stay awake in school.

[jrmiller]

im just gald that high school is over. :D might go to collage to become a chef though.

[outrageous]

so anywhos ppl. I might buy a BMW 1989 525i 5spd, V8, Black on black.

[lopez17]

Nice. I almost bought a 330 a few years back and opted for a Lexus IS300 instead. The BMW dealership guys were first rate jerks. I'll probably end up buying an RX before the year is out.

[outrageous]

yeah. its basically exactly what I want. I can tint it, put the dinan ecu chip in and have a fast moving sedan that will be nice.

[armyofeclipse]

I'm just gonna stick with my 2001 Mercury sable...Aw yeah...
