The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

Hi, Neighbor! Have a 'Gansett!

Hefe makes for a good starter beer for the night. I'm a HUGE fan of Belgian-style ales, porters, and stouts.

Yup.

 

[Null]

Belgian-style ales are good, especially Ommegang's Three Philosopher's, Abbey Ale, and Tripel Perfection. Their Joemegang (coffee-flavored) is pretty fantastic, too.

I miss bud light.

I miss bud light.

Bud Light gets a lot of crap but honestly, if it's cold, a bud light is a nice refreshing easy to drink beer when you're not looking to get hammered.

 

[Officer_Charon]

I don't disagree. It's a good "working" beer, for when you're doing yardwork or somesuch. Sam Adams' Summer Ale is another good one for that, too.

Null, you and I can be friends. Ommegang's beers are in regular rotation at my house, along with St Barnardus Abt 12.

I used to be able to get La Fin du Monde at Krogers, but they stopped carrying it.

AH Gansett, THAT is a working man's lager. Get em and a shot at a Philly bar for a city wide ya can. Or Pabst, I've warmed up to pabst over the years, I think my revulsion to it was due to the MASSIVE obsession it had.

I had my first 'Gansett in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I hit maximum hipster points that day.

I remember Dale Gribble talking about Hipsters on King of the Hill. "They walk slow, because there's nowhere they gotta be."

And everyone of them is a DJ!

Now that you mention it, I DO own an SL-1200 turntable. [emoji41]

You know you're too used to sleeping alone when half of your bed is covered in laundry.

You know you're too used to sleeping alone when you consider buying a smaller bed because you don't need the extra space.

Top that!

I’ll be over here having a hefeweizen later, if anyone wants to join me.

Not a fan of those either. They taste like banana runts to me. Other than that (and American style fizzy piss beer) I'll take just about anything.

I mean, I do that every time my husband is out of town.

Because I'm a slob.

I have to say, some of the jokes about the Ikea founder's death are just great.

 

[GasBandit]

I'm really tempted to buy Elon Musk's new flamethrower.[DOUBLEPOST=1517178947,1517178549][/DOUBLEPOST]Or at least I was, until I watched some actual video footage of it and realized it's not a flamethrower at all, but merely a large blowtorch.

Sure but can you imagine a more badass way to make your creme brulee?

I haven't seen any yet, but I assume there's been some difficulty assembling his coffin.

That's because it it projected any farther it would have to be legally classified as a weapon.

Flamethrowers are not regulated by federal law, and are legal in 48 states (California and Maryland, being the exceptions).

They're commonly used in controlled brush burns and in snow removal, amusingly enough.

If the dumb thing went 10 feet, or even 6, I wouldn't be griping. It goes 2. At most. That's not a flame thrower, that's just... a flame.

 

[fade]

Yeah, my steak knife covers me in sticky burning oil from 10' away, too.

 

[Bubble181]

....Dammit, I'm too late to comment on the beer conversation, nw we're talking about awesome weaponry instead. Ah well.

His version is just propane gas, and projects a flame less than a meter. No liquid fuel, and my guess is it doesn’t last very long before emptying or freezing the cylinder.

I still want one, but I could get the same effect by removing the regulator from this $30 torch:

So I’ll just have to settle for the boring hat I guess.

Let's be honest, we can always talk about beer.

Beer seeks to discuss itself. The more of it in you, the more likely you are to talk about it.

And when there's none in you, it wants to be in you so you can talk about it. Hmmm.

 

[Yoshimickster]

WELL-I am now NINETY percent sure this dude I regularly see on the free shuttle is a thief.

Are you ready for DRM in your Dr Pepper?

Keurig buys Dr Pepper Snapple

 

[PatrThom]

I didn’t know Keurig had enough money left to buy anyone else, actually.

I would not be surprised if Keurig decided to make their own version of the "SodaStream" or whatever it's called, using pods and doing exactly that. I guess the entire appeal would be for people who NEED that soda fountain taste, because soda from a bottle or can does indeed seem to taste different.
