Just to clarify, yes, I did drink a lot, but the little green men made me do it. Really though, a lot of buddies were around and wanted to party. Secondly, the first fight I got into because I had to beat the **** out of a guy who pushed his girl--NOT COOL AT ALL. The second one my involvement was breaking it up. I should have been a little bit clearer with what I said, but I had been drinking for hours with some good friends.
All right, brain, I don't like you and you don't like me so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer. Source: Homer Simpson
OK, I'll buy that... but it did sound like you were on a lonesome bender there. Glad to hear you stood up for the girl. You are correct sir, that **** ain't cool. I get my hackles up when I see that **** too.
My experience with beer and any other (drinkable alcohol) and cars is that it has a great effect on what you THINK you got done, and what you THINK you CAN get done. Also, anything that came out marginal looks "awesome" with beer goggles on. In other words, if you want to work on your car, save the beer for a celebratory ceremony "after" you have completed what you want to. If you begin a project, and crack open a beer...9 beers later the project takes a back seat to "here's what I'm GONNA do..." (bench racing) and nothing really gets done. In the morning, you have a headache and your car's progess hasn't changed all that much. If, for some reason, the beer flows and progress continues into the night...you may be less than thrilled in the morning (or afternoon) at the progress you thought was "flawless" only a few hours before. Heavy beer drinking & car building don't mix. Kinda like drinking & driving...or drinking & posting on the HAMB. It's kinda like the whole example of "keep drinking & she'll look better" at the bar...you pick up a turd car, drink a lot of beer, do a bunch of work, and she looks great until the next morning...just like picking up the local barfly. She looks great until the morning. PBR rules...so does BUD light... Cheers!
I find that beer goes well with working in the garage. How else do you wash down all that metalic dust from grinding welds all night? Or what do you put on you swollen thumb after hitting it for the third time with a hammer-a frosty cold beer bottle. Actually, I keep cans in the garage, the gl*** is too easily broken when working. I also find that I can't weld for **** after about 6-7 beers, not that I am any good without them either. As far as waking up with a headache, please... I haven't done that since high school, unless I hit my head on the frame of the car in a rush to get out to pee. It is all relative, I drink regularly. I don't condone it, but it is fact. I don't get wrecked anymore but 6-8 beers is a normal night, sometimes more if I go out or something. It used to be real bad, I used to drink 3-4 before work at my last job. That is when the wife said 'enough-time to find a new job'. Now I just drink at night, unless it is a week end. But now I wait until AFTER my first coffee. If you have a beer and still work on you car, get help...someone you know can probably fix the damn car for you! Seriously, I agree that drinking can be an evil thing. We all must learn to keep life and our priorities in perspective. Not everyone is cut out to be a professional beer drinker...
this might be the pyschology training in me talking but.......... it's not the PBR you drank that stopped you, it's the action of sitting down. the term is "directionality problem" it's hard to tell which variable is the cause and which is the effect in a correlation.... ? Do you drink so you can sit down? or do you Sit down so you can Drink? working on the car is a third variable so then it's really difficult to tell.
We just wanted to stop to say hey and check out some cars really quickly. My dad was in town and I don't see him or my sister and her family very often so I wanted to see them. Sorry to leave w/o saying adios.
Holy **** you guys got some bad taste in beer! lol!!! B***. Grolsh. Guiness...in that order. If it don't taste like liquid skunkbud I don't want it. Olson --------- duckin' fer cover!!!
PBR taste review by the world's most renown beer taster. He has written over 1200 beer reviews, so he must speak with some degree of intellegence. I have deleted some of the more offensive comments, so as to not offend those who are easily pissed off. "I realized that I've never drunk this beer legally, so my dismissal of it is based on old data at best. This is a "crisp, clean" beer, which is a euphemism indicating that it has almost no flavor whatsoever. The back-taste is a bit disturbing, hinting lightly of skunk cabbage and Wonder Bread. It's possible that the carbonation was due to the fermentation process, but I can't escape the nagging su****ion that it was added just before canning with an infuser. For some inexplicable reason, this beer comes in 16 ounce cans, rather than 12 ounce bottles. One theory is that Milwaukee, being situated on a Great Lake and being surrounded by bogs, had extra water that it needed to get rid of. Nonetheless, there is very little hint of swamp, indicating that some decent filtering happened. While dilution undoubtedly improves the delivery of this beer, this is offset by the greater volume. Eventually, and at about the 14th ounce, you have to realize that this has been a waste of barley and probably rice. The "run-of-the-mill" lagers from such other breweries as Sam Adams and Pete's Wicked are suddenly sublime. If you're one of those adults who believes that they don't like beer, it is probably due to adolescent exposure to something like this. It's quite possible that you don't like bitter brews in general (and therefore don't like coffee either). But if you can drink iced tea without sugar, you can find a good beer that will dispell your sensory memory of the likes of Pabst Blue Ribbon." Hey, don't blame me, I'm just the messenger.
Heheheh that was funny. Gimme a real beer I need to wash the taste outta my mouth just from readin' that. lol Olson ---------- beer's like cars...drink what ya like...
Back in the day,we used to smoke doobies and drink rheingold big boys or schmidts (that was after the work got done.
PBR at Joe Jost in long beach is SOoooooooo Good. It is so cold it has ice in it...When beer is that cold it goes down FAST and smooth..
The 217 Gayrodzz So. IL. Chapter is living proof that you can drink and be productive. You just have to leave one hand available to work with. If you are "double *******" therein may lie the problem.
Yep, danged near any old subject on here can be like pulling the pin on a grenade or should I say, the tab on a PBR!!
Same here Oh I forgot Any dark beer Negra Modelo Corona House beer on tap from local breweries usually I drink beer after I've had all the dark bacardi rum and coke I care to drink unless I'm at a Southern Culture on the Skids show and its put rum and coke goggles on all night long. I keep kicking myself for not bringing a couple of cases of Lonestar back to Alabama under the backseat of the 46 when I was at the Roundup last year.
Work First...reward Cold PBR It's simple.... I love Pabst!! Official member in the PBR club....yes I'm sick
First off, I apologise for beating an off topic thread to death, but I gotta get something off my mind. For those who don't know me, I am a member of a fraternity---and not one of those who are spoiled wealthy kids who get drunk all the time. Having said that, our motto is Dieu Et Les Dames which means " to God (yes capitalized) and ladies. We do have a lit of "gatherings", but most are mild in nature. I don't understand why disrespectful people gotta ruin everybody's good times. This can apply to hot ridding, but what I'm talkin about is a guy who wonders up to a place where he is not invited,that lies about a LADIE'S (yes a lady) character, insults her, her boyfriend, her boyfriend's freinds and touches her in disrespectful places, gets his *** WHIPPED (by one of my friends), yet still wants to whine to the "authorities" and ruin everybody else's good time. HE DESERVED IT. I know it seems I'm involved in this kind of **** a lot, but I think it is because of the publicity our organization gets and the ideals we attempt to uphold which are that of a gentleman. I thank you all for letting me rant off topic, but what happened to respect--especially toward women?
That's funny, I remember drinking plenty of both. I'm glad I outgrew poisoning myself and calling it fun. I do still enjoy an occasional longneck or two, but a couple shelves up.
I've drank PBR before, thought it tasted like dirt, but it DID give me a hell of a headache, if you want to consider that a plus. DrJ, I took that test and only scored an 8, so I guess that means I lied on 4 of them. In all actuality, I'm about to quit drinking (gave up smoking two weeks ago, but I thought I'd give me some time between hits). Now if I could only kick this crack habit I've developed.
