Misc and beer talk

[maxd]

[This stuff is chatter that was pruned off of Pulver VS Lock Casino]

I hope that all the disgruntled people who have pissed and moaned in this thread NEVER EVER have a need to call on Maxd for help.

Don't worry, they're pretty much the same folk who think that the casinos have bought and paid for everything they get here, and that we are their wee puppets doing whatever they tell us to do ... or some such foolishness.

In other words they don't trust us in the first place so they wouldn't believe they'd get a fair shake even if they did complain, which they generally assume is hopeless and pointless anyway. Or something like that. I confess I'm not too good at understanding the workings of the naysayer mindset.

Well, hmmmph, that leaves out the title I was going to dub you with...
Dr. Maxd, perhaps then Father Max??? or St. Max???

 

[maxd]

Why would they need a BC?

Didn't you know? They shred the scans up into a fine little power and blast the dust into those little squishy-ball rooms that kids play in. There are folks with Birth Certificate Dust fetishes that pay heaps of money to wallow around in those things with their gimp masks and rubber pants. The dust sticks to the rubber and makes them look like big fuzzy bunny rabbits. Eee-ha!

What else do you imagine they might need a BC for? Identity verification perhaps? Just a wild guess.

Max: Are you a naysayer?

Player: Nay.

No, El Bastardo will probably do it, covers the bases.

Errrr, and here I was under the assumption max was the "built like a brick shit house troll headhunter" , did you visit the land of oz and see the munchkins or sumptin???

 

[maxd]

"wee puppets" = their idea.

a two-four on legs = reality.

 

[Pinababy69]

You know that only another Canadian will know what a two four is Max.

Any word from Lock yet in re: their post and RTG's findings....I've been following this one pretty close, and am very curious what the conclusion is. Thanks Max.

Ok, ok, for the uninitiated I introduce your basic two-four (24-pack):

Still waiting for the text of the official statement. They're on West Coast time so that should be coming through anytime now.

And folks, that is real Canadian beer, albeit a light variety. Not for any sissy beer drinkers, used to watered down substitutes.

Re: Lock...thanks. I had forgotten about the PST difference.

 

[maxd]

Actually I think that is a 30-pack of cans (the Blue Light), hence I've upped a two-four of tall-boy Moosehead, just for the kitsch factor.

Would have preferred a two-four of Old Stock but no could find.

Love it.....damn, haven't had a Moosehead in ages, beer that is.

K, I've derailed enough...sorry. Just couldn't resist the two-four thingy, what with Max being a true Canuck and all.

EDIT: Okay, had to show my beverage of choice. Although if I plan on having more than six, then it's Coors Light, lol.

 

[maxd]

Hey, we're not derailing, we're providing a little entertainment while we wait for the official words from Lock.

*sigh* Old Stock, fueled my university years that did. Killed the pain of a few work years too. French (France) beer is such shit. French (Quebec) beer can actually be pretty damn good.

Re: the Quebec beer.....wasn't Brador originally brewed in Quebec, by Molson's? Do they even still make that? Only drank it a few times, but I do remember it had some kick, and I believe, also a malt liquor? What WAS the alcohol content on that, lol....

I'm afraid I wouldn't do well in Europe when it comes to choices of alcoholic drinks. I like my beer and I like my liquor. I'm not much into wines, and the more "refined" tastes.

EDIT: Went and looked it up out of curiousity...think they still brew it, and it shows an alcohol content of 6%. I could have sworn back twenty years ago or more, it was 7% or higher, lol.

For posterity:

Well, while we are derailed, I have to shill for my beverage of choice, James Ready 5.5. A discount beer, they spend no money on advertising, no commercials, no billboards, no print ads. They are frequently sold out at The Beer Store.

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

In addition to being cheap and tasty beer, there is a funny saying under each cap and under each label. Also available in 8 pack cans. For those who remember John Labbatt Classic, the taste reminds me of that.

Canadian drinkers usually enjoy it. Bluelight drinkers should stick to tap water IMO.

Sorta like fortune cookie beer Jazzy?

I will have to try it, if I can get it. LOL @ the tap water comment.

Re: the Quebec beer.....wasn't Brador originally brewed in Quebec, by Molson's?

Indeed it was! Loved me some Brador. Got harder to get 'round about the time I fled La Belle Province. Good to hear they're still making it. Back in the day I remember it being 6.2%. Damn good stuff for factory beer! Here's a sexier Brador pic:

Attach Removed (Old not found)

You'd have no problems here in the EU Pina, lots of good beers to be found, you just have to seek them out. Like Canada, or anywhere else I guess, the big factory beers are basically crap. Lots of good other stuff to be had though. France has an excellent 'trapiste' tradition and many of the best beers to be had here are from those old church micro-breweries.

Totally different situation if you get into Belgian beers, rivers of good stuff to be had. And then there's German beers ... say no more!

Never tried James Ready, heard good things about it though.

Agree 100% about the Blue Light thing. That's not beer, that's what you get when you wipe off the table after a real beer drinker has had a few pints. 'Table draft' we called it, utter swill!

There used to be a few of those micro-breweries popped up here in Toronto, years ago now though. Downtown in the artsy district, lol. I worked at a pub down there, and when I got off work, I used to go and take a "tour"....which of course included free samples of their different products.

Not sure if they're still around or not....like most small businesses, they may have been pushed out by the big guys.

Re: German beers...I take it that means they are quite good? LOL...NOW we truly know why Bryan moved to Germany.

Table draft/swill....ha ha ha....I worked in bars for years, and those are just "some" of the more politically correct terms we used for it.

Love the Brador pic...man, that looks good enough to drink, lol. What were the old bottles called...stubbies, chubbies, something like that. Ah, memories...thanks Max!!

 

[maxd]

Yup, 'stubbies'. Strange what a watershed that was in Canadian beer making. Stubbies made for much better target practice.

Re: Brador, best beer with a curry, bar none. I know because I did 'tests' about 4000 times. Newcastle Brown is a close second.

And yeah, the German's make beer. I think there is one kind of beer for every two Germans! It's absolutely staggering how many varieties they have. And about 95% of them are as good as the best Canadian beer. Sad but true.

Well, now I have a project, lol. I just bought about ten pounds of boneless chicken breasts and was planning on making a curry dish, either this week or on the weekend. Now I simply have to go and buy a six pack of Brador, and have a couple of them when I eat my curry. I will let you know what I think.

 

[maxd]

Excellent project! And I'm envious: if I could buy Brador here ... let's just say I'd be buying a lot fewer of these organic beers I've been struggling with lately.

Still no word back from Lock yet, in case anyone is wondering if they've tuned into 'The Beer Channel'.

Re: the project....strictly in the name of science you understand?

And methinks once the post is made in re: Lock, you will probably have to break off our beer posts, and move them to the Attic. It could actually be an interesting thread. With summer coming, I am prone to drink more beer than liquor. Nothing like a frosty on a hot, summer day....sitting in my backyard with the BBQ going!!

 

[maxd]

Agreed, both on beer being the summer bevvy and the beer posts due to be stashed in the Attic. Been thinking of summer travels to warm spots down south and the beer thing is definitely featuring prominently in my thoughts.

I get that, I am not a dullard.
I would gladly give if to government agencies that require it.
It is the last thing I would pass on to an online casino though. I don't know I guess that is just how we have been conditioned in the US, be careful with your SS #'s and BC's.
