crits on tuesday.

oh the glorious feeling..(so much so i can barely spell glorious)

woot there it is.

well done sir. me not so much, but I am awake at four so I must get points for that. If I was really feeling up to it I would work on this confounded competition I've got going on but I think I'll save that for normal hours.

...i am

are you kidding me? you're buzzed off of 2 wild turkey and cokes...please tell me your female

john!
i'm not drunk now, but i tied a few on friday after we missed our deadline. the office took us out and ended up leaving the card with us intersa with instructions of "keep it under 1500"
thursday i stayed at work until 1:15 when we realized if we left now, we could still make last call at thhe favorite bar.
man....
hope school is going well.

I need a real stiff drink too - Irish Whiskey please (one of the Glennsif you have it)

re6el9uy10...can't spell "you're" please tell me you are american!

??? you're ?? grammatically looks correct.

'you are' contracts to 'you're'..... right?

i dunno, it's been years since i watched the 'schoolhouse rock' cartoons: anybody remember those? interplanet janet was my fave, as well as conjunction junction

snowi...
if you look at re6el...post..he/she spells you're right the
first time then spells it wrong the second time...

'please tell me your female'

and.
i'm sober this monday morning..but i could use a drink..
mmmm...mimosa. a tasty beverage and you're getting
vitamin c.

i also drink white russians for the calcium..
and vodka cranberrys for the cranberry juice.
jack and cokes for the caffeine.
beer for the carbs..
hm. what drink is a good source of protein?

larslarson, you and i must be consulting the same dietician. not sure what drink is a good source of protein but i've been making a habit of grilling a steak for brunch. goes good with the beer and is a great way to start the day. too bad it's time to get to work now...

lars, try making your White Russian with drinkable yogurt for that little bit of protein. Ok. That may be gross.

a good source of protein....... that you can swallow......

i have no idea...

thinking.....

...f***n grammar nazis

...f****n grammar nazis

re6el...antipod was really the only one pointing out your
grammatical error..i was just clarifying for snowi...

but kudos for having the correct number of asterixes
in f****n.

Ha ha ha ha snowi! My goodness!

please excuse my grammatical inaccuracies. i did, afterall just have two wild turkey and cokes...so i must be drunk

...i think i'm done beating the dead horse now

isn't that cute. he uses a 6 or a "b" and a 9 for a "g".

ether - he's obviously a rebel

you know what i hate, is when you're drunk and you're supposed to have people that you can count on to take care of you and they f&*$ing just don't do their job. I mean, not at all. What makes it worse is when you've been doing a pretty good job taking care of them. And they just f*&%ing bail.

sorry for the profanity but I'm f&*%ing drunk. F%*& that. I'm going to bed.

notice I used a variety of punctuation in my f-bombs not just asterisks. you've got to give me points for creativity whilst drunk./

burp

</rant>

major points for using whilst as well

whilst should only be used whilst drunk...

someone must be enjoying her hangover today...

Actually I feel quite fine. Guinness is good to me like that. The only feeling that lingers is the sting of major disappointment.....

you mean being let down by your friends when you were hammered??

something like that. I was attempting to be a bit more eloquent about it.

eh, it's OK. I woke up this morning and remembered that I'm used to being disappointed.

I know, how could they just leave you like that. I mean, at one of your best friend's houses, surrounded by many other longtime friends. And with your car in a safe place nearby to boot, it's downright uncivil.

Wonder. Sh*tty. Time for new friends?

(Note: Not drunk. Therefore the use of pedestrian asterisk)

u should a called me wk. i m only a couple of hours away.

I don’t know if it’s been done but if it hasn’t I’m naming it a “Hippie Killer”

Somebody else has to taste it though.

garpike and vado, thanks. newstr., damn. I'm not volunteering.

but seriously, folks. when you have a complex about being left behind....and you're drunk and paranoid, and you get left behind.....it stings. Perhaps more so than normal. Also I was on such a high, it being my favorite holiday and all. I guess it sucks to care about people so much that you get your feelings hurt when you realize they don't understand something really basic about you.

Am I making any sense? I'm not even drunk this time.

*Addendum to the above:

....the worst is realizing they might actually understand that one really basic thing about you, and they don't give a damn.

In which case, garpike, yes, probably time for new friends.

VADO YOU'RE BACK! Good to see you.

I promised WonderK I wouldn't make a scene. But I am going to do that shame shame finger motion to the screen...hold on..........There. Why you may all ask? It's because this is a personal matter of criticizing her friends (friends which may or may not be members on this thread) and therefore innapropriate to bring up here. Eh, I know you were drunk, thats' understandable, but today....um yesturday...you were sober...so no excuse.

And you have some damn good frieneds...stop this self pitty thing, we all love you.

I also don't really like it when they wave their electronic fingers at me, either. Yes, definitely time for new friends. :-P

cocktails, anyone?

"F**k Me? F**k You!"

"F**k You? F**k Me!"




Aw, come on people, can't we all just get along.

larslarson,

In order to meet my (personal) RDA of proteint - last night I had 4 pitchers of Guiness to myslef (over 6 hours)... or I could have eaten about 2 whole chickens... but you gotta love a meal in a bottle!

I read in M&F once that Guiness has the most protien of any beer @ 4g/pint !

Cheers!

it's also the lowest carbs of almost any beer...

And I like to call it "A loaf of breed in a bottle"

Guiness needs to go for a "healthy" marketing scheme with their two animated chaps and burst the whole flavor-taste-carb bubble of Michelob, Amstel, and others!

Looks like my earlier 4g/pint was waayy off... I should've doubled consumption . . .Brilliant!

cowgill you seem to be taking over for garpike, who was doing our silly but interesting calculations for us while he was laid up with his broken leg. Thank you.

As for me, I'm off alcohol for awhile after a disastrous evening with Limoncella martinis on my trip to Phoenix. Vodka is not my friend. Especially flavored crap. Blech. A martini should be gin - gin only, just wave the open vermouth bottle over the glass for a minute and toss in an olive.

WonderK I'm thinkin' you need some girl friends. Wish I was closer. 'Specially since I'm giving up alcohol for awhile.

SuperBeatledud, please feel free to post as many pics of Edward Norton as you'd like.

Yay! She's back! Incidentally lb, I'll take your vodka, you can have my gin....when you get back on alcohol that is.....

I hope this doesn't mean I'm destined for a broken femur : )

SURVEY:
has anyone had all 18 varieties of the Sam Adams or sampled their "extreme beer"?

I can't say that I'm a fan of vodka, either. But the pretty martinis always look so delicious.... They get me EVERY TIME. On St. Patrick's Day, I had to "accidentally" spill part of my sour apple martini just to make it to the bottom of it.

sunny Florida day + Reggae Festival kickoff in St. Augustine + a couple bottles of Red Stripe + bucket-o-Coronas = Drunk Aaron.

welcome back lb,

can't say I'm a fan of Limoncello either...

Ever tried Trippel?
Trippel

Wonderk, I would never leave anyone while they were drunk. :(

Shit, now I'm the drunk one. Of course its two hogardens and a doubble Lagavulin. I may be a godless commie but I can't stand cheap booze.

four

tee

I'm just amazed at all of the drink names I've missed. What's a hogarden!? And a Lagavulin!?! Somebody hook me up!

Lagavulin is a delicious 12 (?) year old scotch witth enough flavor to fill a boxcar. Dunno about hogarden, but prolly similar.

I am not drunk, but would love to be drinking an Arrogant Bastard Ale- delicious 7.2% ale that comes in adult-sized 22 oz bottles.

Or some Basil Hayden's or Knob Creek right out of the bottle.

Hoegaarden is a tasty white ale from Belgium. I remember it like it was yesterday...

Tasty wth lemon.

go ether go !

Hoegarrden has gone downhill. It used to be independant, then Interbrew bought the label and started exporting it to America. The quality isn't what it used to be. On that same note, outside of Ireland Guinness just isn't a Guinness. Didn't stop me from having about 15 pints last Friday.

On Saturday I sobered up with a 6 pack of the PBR....it's known the world over.

mmmmm. Tucher with orange. goes well with hukka...

...

wednesday night buzz on, who's with me?

cowgill, I've had 15 of them, I think, including the 25% stout.

All but the winter lager either suck or are decent-but-fairly-run-of-the-mill

every last one of them is way, way overpriced.

stouts over ~15% just taste like syrup - they have to add an insane amount of sugar to compensate for the bitterness. even the dogfish head (best brewery ever?) 23% stout, while amazing, was just too syrupy to be enjoyable for more than a sip or two.

now the dogfish head 21% IPA, on the otherhand, is pure heaven.

dammit now I want a beer.

manamana, what was the 25%er that you had?

it's a special sam adams "extreme beer"

http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1502257.html

and it's no where near worth the $90 a bunch of us paid for a 24 oz bottle.

think cognac mixed with vanilla coke and a slight hoppiness. virtually no head.

the 23% dogfish head stout is similar, but way, way better, and it's only $10 for a 12 oz.

but if I'm going to spend $10 on a bottle of beer, I'm going to get the dogfish head 21% IPA every time...it's AMAZING.

yeah, the dogfidh head is pretty good. i still prefer a good belgian any day though.my latest favorite is biere de miel

thanks manamana! I just had the winter lager (lucky for me it was on tap - on second thought, make that a pitcher!!) and I agree ~ it is by far the best I've had from the SA camp!

why can't good beer be cheap? ~ I guess that's what PBR is for... 1.25 @ the local pub!

A ~ I've heard that Guiness is more bitter outside Ireland... I'll verify on my trip next year when I plan on swimming in the black goodness : )

I have to find some of that dogfish stuff!

"dammit now I want a beer." ~ send one this way!

not a big fan of the guiness. it's like 4.25%. i mean it's okay but it's no moinette brune. oh, and most things good cost money

not a big fan of the guiness. it's like 4.25%. i mean it's okay but it's no moinette brune. oh, and most things good cost money

sorry for the double post.

oops .. what happened to my image??

mana are you talking about that world wide stout from dogfish? Thats like a 6 pack in a bottle! so delicious.

artful, that's the one. the 2002 is at 23% while the 2003 is 21% [CA and UK only] and from 2003 on they have come down to 18%.

OK I'm confised - my standard pint at my corner bar in Philly was what I called "Dogfish Head Pale Ale" - is that the 21%? I don't recall it getting me sloshed ever. But it was delicious.

Add spelling "confused" with an "i" to my confusion.

I admit I was confused when you said you were confised. Luckily I have some alcohol in my system so it didn't really make a difference either way. :o)

I just dug around on the Dogfish Head site and now GAWD I want one! But all I have in the house is some Indiana beer I thought I'd try in the spirit of buying locally:

yeah, DFH makes 4 IPAs as well as their standard pale ale.

The standard pale ale is decent, but slightly overpriced for what it is.

the 60 minute IPA (6%, I think) is an above average IPA, but there are a couple others that are better at the same price (~$8 a sixer)

The 90 minute IPA (9%) is one of my all-time favorite beers. it's expensive enough that I don't buy it too often ($9.50/4 pack), but when you start getting into crazy beers, it's actually a really, really good buy.

The 120 minute IPA (21%) is a bit insane, but it's amazing. because of it's high alc. content, it isn't available in some states (here in NC we can buy 151 but not a 21% beer, hrumph) whole foods usually carries it in the states that allow it.

it hits you FAST - it is deceptively easy to drink

next time I go visit the folks, I'm going to call the distributor and see if I can get a case to age.

e: I didn't realize that the worldwide stout had dropped to 18%. I will have to try it again - the 23% was way too sticky-sweet.

I like *some* of the esoteric belgian beers, but to me a great number of them taste like someone spilled a bottle of chanel No. 5 in the vat - They tend to be a bit flower-y/perfume-y for me.

but maybe I just ate too many flowers as a kid.

i believe the term that applies to belgian beers is "fruity esters" -don't like 'em. i had a dogfish head in nc last september while on vacation in asheville. the state had just legalized the higher alcohol content beers (high-gravity?). however, the serving was 6 oz.

point defiance and boundary bay ipa's are currently on the top of my list. i don't know if you can get them outside of the pac nw.

um, what about coors light bro?

GO NASCAR!! and ICP!!

sorry, thought i had the "beer fancier" thread.

bad idea reading this thread first thing in the morning; I'm already thinking of picking up a few dogfish bottles, or my favorite stand by:

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/gouden-carolus-grand-cru-of-the-emperor/6170/

artful, if you like that you should try the abbaye des rocs grand cru
http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/abbaye-des-rocs-grand-cru/7684/

E, that sounds delicious. I'll have to keep my eye open for that one. Although a line of one of those reviews was a bit odd: "heavily yeasty with notes of wet cement, cobweb, and a light note of plastic/band-aid."

I love how this turned into the beer snob thread.

oh, and if you have the cash to drop the scaldis prestige is awesome. at $50/bottle, it's for special occassions only. i have two in my cellar right now.
http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/bush-prestige-(scaldis-prestige)/29196/

and if in seattle, my best friends own probably the best beer store and the second or third best beer bar in the nation. at least ratebeer.com says so.

mmm, beer.

(almost 5.)

as they say, it's 5 somewhere.

(3 beers/1hr) @ 7%abv / 170lbs. x 7c.o.t.* = superheavy is primed.


*where c.o.t. = coefficient of tolerance

we had some good friends over last night. i actually married them a few weeks ago. they brought chinese food, a gift to thank the minister, and many fine ales to share. my friends know me well as the brought one of my favorites.

dupont avec les bons voeux

well, this thread made me take a little shopping trip yesterday. my booty:

1 4 pack DFH 90 minute IPA, it's been a while and I missed it.

1 750ml rogue imperial IPA, 9.5%

1 flying dog mix pack. includes the pale ale, Hefeweizen, Amber lager, and IPA (had the IPA before, good for the price)

so far I've just cracked the FD hefeweizen. it's ok, if a little weak and a little too sugary. it's definitely nowhere near Hacker-Pschorr. it'd be a good deal at around $6.50-$7 /6

tonight I'm making thai penut chicken to go with the DFH or rogue (I haven't decided yet)

manamana, if you like the rogue imperial stout, look into the rogue xs imperial stout. yummy.

I'm feelin the Barefoot white zinfandel right now... salad + wine for dinner makes you tipsy quick.

Rogue Dead Guy has been a long time favorite.

Dead Guy is my standard.

wow.u guys like a drink.

rioja sitting on my desk. drunk out of a coffee mug.

oh yes.

(apparently people in the uk use alcohol to deal with pressure, stress, depression and unhappines, a study has revealed. oh, really?)

woo hoo! yay!

damn tequila.

i hear ya ms. wonder. i likey the mezcal, but the tequilla will do me just fine.

e, i got home at least 45 minutes ago. question is, why the hell am i still up? and checking this, no less? eh. i need to pass out.....

i have not been drinking. but i had a fever that made me feel like jack kerouac in mexico circa 1968. what will happen on cinco de mayo when liberty and vado hang???

one word: ouch.

I think I need another shot just to make the pain go away.
