And if you don't want to receive the emails about your posts you can turn that off.

I'll second that. Or would it be third?

You can still lurk, no one will make you post anything. I've been here a year and have only posted 77 times. (This being mainly due to my propensity for coming off like a complete moron no matter how hard I try no to,) but if you DO feel like commenting or asking a question, you're already signed up, so it's easy-peasy.

I have learned a lot here. A lot of my questions have been answered without my having to ask them; just search the threads and someone else may have already had that question.

Yet when I do need to ask, everyone is very helpful, willing to clarify if I'm still too thick to get it, and I've never felt uncomfortable being one of the few women on board.

These guys are the greatest!

I agree. This is a fun board and everyone conducts themselves in a cordial manner. We can disagree but still be friendly.Come on in!

Yes it is.

[brewmonkey]

How do you know she is a witch?

[tyesai]

Doesn't it have something to do with rocks and ducks and water and if she weighs more than a duck she is a witch and we can burn her!???

uhhm, that would actually be going backwards.

However.....

You don't vote for kings.

Come and see the violence inherent in the system....

HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!

"Consult the Book of Armaments."

"Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one. And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu..."

"Skip a bit, Brother..."

"And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

The Lady of the Lake-- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king!

Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical aquatic ceremony!

BE QUIET!

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!!

Shut *UP*!

I mean, if I went 'round, saying I was an emperor, just because some moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Tis only a flesh wound!

SONG:

Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth from Camelot,
He was not afraid to die, Oh Brave Sir Robin,
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin.

His head smashed in, and his heart cut out,
And his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged,
And his nostrils raped, and his bottom burned off,
And his penis split ... and his ...

ROBIN
Er, That's ... That's enough music for a while, lads.
It Looks as though like there's dirty work afoot.

SINGERS
Brave, Sir Rob ...

ROBIN
Shut up.

[Fast_Eddy]

ARTHUR
No, on second thought, let's not go to The Realbeer Site.

KNIGHTS
Right!

ARTHUR
It is a silly place.

JEEZ..... NOBODY'S GOING TO JOIN IF THEY GET TO READ THIS CRAP! I leave for 30 hours and THIS is what you do with my thread?

And DON'T give me that crap about coming here for an argument - this is abuse, and you KNOW it, so just sit down and take it like men! ;)

[Fast_Eddy]

If this thread scares 'em away they probably shouldn't join. ;)

[brewmonkey]

Ok, we'll stop with the Holy Grail quotes.



























Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar. Tuscany fried bats. :D

[skahtboi]

I'm feeling better....

Sorry to interupt such a witty exchange, just thought I'd heed fretlessman71's advice and say hi.

Also sorry for starting out with the heavy sales pitch in the other forums - I'll try to pick up the etiquette ASAP.

I'm an engineering student in So. Cal and have been extract brewing (no kits) for about ten years. I'm currently on the cusp of becoming an all grain brewer when I came across two commercial fridges. I'm getting one ready to go and trying to sell the other, that's where I came in.

As for my setup-I welded up a copy of the B3-1000 sculpture, bought a universal kettle from Sabco as my HLT, still waiting for B3 to get the false bottoms in to get their cooler conversion for the mash tun, and I boil in a modified B3 14 gal kettle.

My other recent acquisitions include eight corny kegs and a 20# CO2 bottle as I am also going to convert from bottling (yes, for ten years) to kegs.

Well since I've been away, as has Fret, for a couple days, all I have to say is,

Nee!

S.

BTW - Anyone seen that Eric Idle has turned MP and the Holy Grail into a stage musical called Spamalot, and is touring the country this winter?

Yeah, I heard about that. It's supposed to start in NYC, I think. Could be funny, nudgenudgewinkwink...

[chazwicke]

Very cool! NYC, March, I'm There!

I guess I should've read the link!

And Chaz, we could meet for some beer and Broadway! Any other Python fans on board?

[chazwicke]

I am up for that. Let's keep a watch out for it when it gets to Bway. My wife and I watched Antiques Roadshow from NY last night and we discussed a trip to NYC. It has been about a year since I was last up there. Saw "The Producers" on that trip.

[staronstage]

She turned me into a newt.







I got better. :)
