Godfrey Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 56 minutes ago, Smelly McUgly said: Alcohol is yummy. I went to Paris and had this amazing brandy with a beef bourguignon that was amazing. It changed my life, it was so good. Beer is delicious, the darker, the better. I also cook regularly with it. I don't drink red wine, but I have a bottle in my kitchen perpetually for sautees and soups. I also keep a cheap bottle of brandy and whiskey for baking and making sweet desserts. I drink only about once a week because I want a flat stomach. My vanity outweighs my gluttony, I suppose. I totally understand why someone wouldn't like the taste of alcohol, though. I know people who don't drink for that reason. But if you're cooking, man, you have to at least have some wine in the kitchen. French onion soup with a hit of Spanish wine or a burger cooked in bacon fat and a nice porter is just too good. This is basically me as well, but I had a scotch and a chicken sandwich in Paris that changed my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 When making tacos with a kit, when you are supposed to add water and the spices to the meat, substitute beer for the water - something lighter, a lager or pilsner. Damn tasty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2112 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Well dang, not only do I drink wine but I make it, so it's not uncommon for me to have 300 +/- bottles on hand at any one time. I've always thought that if my drinking doesn't affect my life in any negative way, I'm ok with it and it never has. As for people that don't drink, hey, that's just a universe counterbalance to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned to snow at the end of the game. When I got home, all i wanted was a cold beer and a warm shower. So it ends up feeling like when you drink a beer in a hot tub. Your body is warm, and the refreshing cold beer just makes everything okay. As for not drinking, don't ever feel bad about it. I took a six month sabbatical after a friend died. Do what makes you happy. This. Post-sport shower beers allow for that painkiller type buzz without limiting your capacity to consume more later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 i like to drink beers. it is not uncommon to come home from work and have 3-6 before i go to bed. i'm having one right now, watching old mma fights at the bar in my basement. to each their own. i've tried the shower beer thing a few times. i don't really get the appeal.

Brian Fowler Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) I used to work with a woman who swore by shower beers, but I've never been one to drink alone at any point. Edited July 29, 2019 by Brian Fowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I make wine for a living - and am an ex chef. I drink on a daily basis. That said- shower beers are dumb. And those that bring an actual bottle into the shower with them deserve the stitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I’m a huge proponent of the shower beer, but only in cans. Don’t be a moron. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they spend time lurking, read people's posts, get a feel for the room? Or do they just jump on in head-first thinking this is just another wrestling message board? If it's the latter, it is EXTREMELY fucking obvious. I like it. This place totally feels like Cheers, even if I'm just a perpetual extra in the background and not Norm or Cliff. I lurked for almost seven years, fwiw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I mostly lurked until the board reboot a few years back and I kind of found my voice. Mainly in the number 2 feds folder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I remember when the board was black and green, and looked like an outline for a epic fantasy novel. I lurked for a good long while, but I'm glad I started posting. This board is the most entertainment I get during slow work days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobholly138 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Been posting and reading here since it started in what 99 or so. I go thru spells where I leave for a bit. Mostly back when I moved and went from having broadband internet to living in an area where all you could get until 2013 was AOL Dial up. Watching a RF Shoot with New Jack on Highspots. Decent shoot but every few minutes there is a bright white flash. I guess RF was taking pictures while talking to New Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I was on the green board (oh man) years ago back when you didn't even need to log in to post, so that had to be early 2000s I guess. I left for a while after and came back a few years ago with a new name and face.

Eivion Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I mostly lurked. I may or may not have been semi-scared of posting here the first few years after I joined (04-07). I was posting more regularly on Smarkschoice and Strong Style Symphony. I started posting more regularly here as posting on those boards gradually decreased until this became my mainstay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Probably due to my anxiety as much as anything, but I’m definitely still a lurker for the most part. Have been for the better part of 20 years. Fuck, we’re all getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
