[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;18230402]I'm brewing up a coffee-vanilla bock with my girlfriend. We just added in the vanilla beans last night and will be bottling it this weekend right before the Fuel concert (original lineup ftw). Should be a primo beer by Christmas, and somewhere around 6.5% - a decent ABV.[/QUOte]
thats freakin sweet.
that is all i have to say :(

[quote=Spaceman Spiff;18230516]I'll have to check it out when I get some time. I baby my gear, so I generally don't expect to run into problems like that.[/quote]
When you think about it, your entire signal is traveling through tiny wires that are quite fragile, and the solder joints are no more than a few cubic millimeters of metal that meld a few conductors together. Electronics issues are common even amongst the nicer equipment.

I hope so. At roughly $25 (for two dozen 12-oz brews), it will be my most expensive brew to date.

I treat my gear like shit (well, not quite, but it doesn't get baby'd), and I very rarely get anything break my signal, so I don't think there's too much in that theory.

Well thats ridiculously cheap for any beer around here. U-brew is even twice that much. I've never heard of anyone making their ownbeer from scratch though.

Regardless, 48 bottles of a 5% beer here would be $50 at the cheapest, almost $100 for premium. I'm considering moving to another province or country for this very reason!

It would cost about that much anywhere - premium brew isn't cheap. Brewing your own comes out to $0.75 - $1.50 a bottle, which is still cheaper than what you'll find in a bar. You just have to wait a month or four for it.

My friends and I tried our hand at brewing some beer before, but we got too impatient and drank it before it was ready. It still got us a drunk, but it did not taste very good.

From what I've brewed so far, I could probably drink my brews flat (ie, after a week or two of ferment).

You might prefer to try your hand at wine-making.

For about $10, you can buy brewing yeast, a few cups of sugar, and 3 gallons of grape juice to make a few gallons of tasty wine.

I just went for an hour long run up and down some hills. I haven't done any running for about 7 months, so I'm totally gonna feel it in the morning :(

My roommate works for a brewery, so we brew very quality beer here quite regularly. We've got a bitter that just reached maturity, an irish red that's another 2 weeks away, and an apple beer that's a first-time beer that is probably another month and a half out.

Everything is made from scratch, because if you're going to make beer, why bother doing it any other way?

I went to my first Krav Maga class last Thursday, I'm only just today feeling no aches from it. Probably didn't help I worked all weekend, but more to the point is that I haven't exercised in a loooong time.

Oooh, I so badly want to take Krav Maga classes. That shit is so badass.

It was pretty full on, a tough workout as well. It's a combination of aerobic and anaerobic so if you can do it without getting screwed then... yeah it can't really be done. Even the older guys who were legitimate professional fighters were getting wrecked towards the end.

Yeah, it's incredibly intense... not that I would know from experience, but from what I've seen of it. It's seem like the best martial art to be experienced with as far as defending yourself from any possible random attackers.

It's not really a martial art, that's why I like it mostly. None of this uniform and bowing and honour crap. It's about preparing you for potential real life situations. It's also got a lot about mindset rather than just learning a barrage of attacks that you'll probably forget as soon as you're stressed.

I don't ever wanna feeeeeeeel.

Like I did that day...

Take me to the place I loooooove.

Take me all the way...

So i completely forgot about this website until today. Hi guys.

Krav Maga is awesome for sure. Israelis are the last people you want to fuck with.

I fell asleep putting the finishing touches on my programming project, woke up at 2am after it was 2 hours late, submitted it, forgot to set my alarm for 5am, and woke up again just now (at 7am) without having gotten any of my other homework done. F**k it all.

Microwaved my donut for too long and dried it out too much, I know how you feel.

F**k, that's even worse. How do you live with yourself, gaslight?

Btw, what's your real name? If you don't tell me, I will have no choice but to refer to you as "Mr. Long Beard Stinky Pants."

My name is Matt and my facial hair and odour are appropriate and attractive.

Urk. One of the receptionists at a company I deliver mail to has decided she likes me. So she asked for my name so she could find me on facebook before I found out the reason. She's really not that great though, but she might turn out to be a little bit of a facebook stalker and it's totally awkward seeing as I'll have to see her everyday at work -_-

Just show up one day with an attractive woman (supermodel with an exotic name, if you can swing it). Introduce her to the receptionist on "take your significant other to work day."*



*a fictitious day that will aid you in scaring the receptionist off.

Or tell her that you're gay.

I just need to ask coffee shop girl out instead, then everything will be fine.

Ask the coffee shop girl out right in front of the receptionist. Win-win.

The planning involved for this hurts my head. I'm also not that harsh, although I love the idea :P

Another technique I've used is to use ice to shrink the size of my member, and then to show it to the stalking party. If they see you're packing half a roll of Mentos, the attraction and potential lust is lost.
