nightscape94 967 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I used to work at Best Buy, and Black Friday was like the day everyone never wanted to come. Then I started working at a bank, and quickly learned that there's a Black Friday every month on the 1st I haven't stepped inside my own bank since I opened my account 5 years ago or however long it was. I don't understand it.I recall January 2nd of this year being a pretty bad since it was the day after a holiday, a payday (Thursday), and folks checking on their SSI and Pension. It was like the perfect storm.
JoeinAR 1,955 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 water, it's still cold from the tap but that will end this week most likely
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 That's not really an origns story though.BANKMAN BEGINS.
Quintus 5,918 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Great origins story! But not as good as Superman: The Movie in that regard.
Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Drinking some Carlsberg for the first time. Still better than Heineken. Then I'll be cruising through a bottle of E&J VSOP with some friends tonight, celebrating the fact that I'll never have to go to college ever fucking again.*cue ridiculous smileys*
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Congratulations are in order then. I'll hoist a few in your honor.
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Drinking some Carlsberg for the first time. Still better than Heineken.First beer I ever got gassed on, when I was 12. Not bad.
Sweeping Strings 3,036 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Eh, Carlsberg has passed into the realm of 'Well, OK ... if there's NOTHING else' beers for me. Fine as a 'training' beer when you start drinking, but not much appeal when you're older.
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 It's my sporadic fallback position on a Saturday after work, which tends to be my one drinking night of the week nowadays. Very sporadic at that.
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Prefer it to Stella, which is truly bland. I'm more of a Mexican and Japanese beer kind of guy.
Sweeping Strings 3,036 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Maybe it's an age thing, but I find myself increasingly keen on ales and wheat beers these last few years.
KK 3,310 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 That's what I thought, but then somehow I saw posts from "Mr. Shark" in the last page for a minute. Though now they all seem to be under Sharkey, so maybe I was just losing it...I'll just wait till it changes to Prometheus 2.
nightscape94 967 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Had a Yuengling today. Just one, but felt I should share it.
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I have seen a security hologram... of you... drinking Yuengling. nightscape94 and Code 000. Destruct. 0. 2
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 If into the alcohol you go, only pain will you find.
Naïve Old Fart 12,158 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I would have finished 13-and-a-half hours at work, so it'll be a double SC on the rocks. Yum!
Sweeping Strings 3,036 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Last night the ales Golden Glory, Newcastle Brown, Blandford Flyer and Spindrift.
Glóin the Dark 1,644 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Anchor Brekle's Brown and Porter, Brooklyn Lager and Harviestoun Old Engine Oil. ...Golden Glory... That's one of the few beers I've ever tried that I couldn't manage more than a few mouthfuls of...
Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 Had Corona last night, like a little bitch. Only because I wanted to be able to drink all night.12 of them gave me a buzz, but the draft beers at the bar were the heroes of the night.Oh, and the two 40-year-old cougars who chatted me up.
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Went the beer route. Old Golden Hen, Blandford Flyer and Tangled Foot...sort of like old WWII SOE agent codenames. Mr. Brown and Sweeping Strings 2
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Oh, and the two 40-year-old cougars who chatted me up.Did you give them the D? Code 000. Destruct. 0. 1
Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Oh, and the two 40-year-old cougars who chatted me up.Did you give them the D?They left shortly after telling them how old I was. Hurt my feelings a little bit, until I dove into another drink.
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I daresay the late Olly Reed would've approved. Mr. Brown 1

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Oh, and the two 40-year-old cougars who chatted me up.Did you give them the D?They left shortly after telling them how old I was. Hurt my feelings a little bit, until I dove into another drink.How old are you?
Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 That varies day to day.Today I woke up feeling 200.
Sweeping Strings 3,036 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Really, Gloin? I guess the peachiness in its flavour isn't to everyone's taste ...
Naïve Old Fart 12,158 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Oh, and the two 40-year-old cougars who chatted me up.Did you give them the D?40? Cougars?! To me, that's like 20-year-olds!
Sharkissimo 1,976 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Oh, and the two 40-year-old cougars who chatted me up. Did you give them the D? 40? Cougars?! To me, that's like 20-year-olds! 40's too young for you?!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Aint nothing wrong with a MILF!
Sweeping Strings 3,036 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Tesco's hoppy Revisionist Craft lager. Very pleasant.
Glóin the Dark 1,644 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel, Hook Norton Double Stout and Stone Ruination IPA.Really, Gloin? I guess the peachiness in its flavour isn't to everyone's taste ...It was totally bizarre to me at the time, though that was quite a while ago (probably close to a decade) and I hadn't much experience of styles of beer out of the common macrobrewed way. Perhaps I'd find it more agreeable nowadays. I do still find fruit beer to be rather a dubious species, though...
Naïve Old Fart 12,158 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 So you're a MILF hunter?At my age, more like GILF
Glóin the Dark 1,644 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Why? Not sure. Maybe just a residual prejudice from my unpleasant experience with Golden Glory, and the time I gave in to someone's insistence that I try a sip of their god-awful Früli strawberry beer.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,283 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 But fruit flavor stop beers tasting like utter shit!
nightscape94 967 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Hoegaarden and Framboise is a popular combo (Dirty Hoe!).
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Hey, you said it, and the bottle was smiling at me from the shelf.
BLUMENKOHL 1,088 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Let's turn this thread into a "JWFan tries a drink together across land and the ocean blue," why don't we!
Glóin the Dark 1,644 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 But fruit flavor stop beers tasting like utter shit! Begone, heathen!
