Talking Beer IS Important


HAVE FUN READING and remember Beer is Beer IS Important
Sorry about the line editing.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink
I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think
about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes
and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.
Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this
beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish
and worry about my liver."
Jack Handy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they
wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're
going to feel all day."
W.C. Fields/ Frank Sinatra

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to
spend time with his fools."
Ernest Hemingway
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading."
Henny Youngman

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
Sooooo, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!"
Brian O'Rourke
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
Benjamin Franklin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Without question, the greatest invention in the
history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the
wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does
not go nearly as well with pizza. "
Dave Barry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a Support Group. Salvation in a can!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And saving the best for last, As explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers...
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining
the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this...
A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones
at the back then are killed first. This
naturalselection is good for the herd as a whole,
because the general speed and health of the whole group
keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest
members. "In much the same way, the human brain can only
operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.
Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells.
But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain
cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer
eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain
a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you
always feel smarter after a few beers."

Sort of reletated. My tutor has started locking the classroom door at dinner time due to people playing games on the internet. Anyway, on Monday me and a mate didnt know what to do at dinner because the tutor locks the door know so we asked them what we could do. They told us to go for a walk to which I replied "If we go up the hill we get mugged if we go down the hill we get mugged and get cancer due to the car fumes". The tutor paused for a moment and told us to go to a pub, even though he knows we are a few months underage.
We took his advice
When we got back after a few pints I told him we took his advice and he said good. I think he thinks we went for a walk

*snigger* my mate couldnt keep up with me and he was buying the drinks (although I only had one and a half pints). He then told me that he had seen fast drinkers but nothing like the speed I drink.... Actually loads of people tell me that....

Edit: Lots of rambling on again .
ps Like the quotes
pps I was drinking Grolsche (Not sure how to spell it... its that dutch one...). It doesnt taste as good as it did in Holland where it came straight from the brewer with no preservatives

Beer makes my linux problems disappear. Someone once told me that you only remember the things you learned when you're drunk when you're drunk.

That's frightening, most people when drunk are at parties, raves, nightclubs, or just having a good social time in general. When people are drunk, they remember the good times.

So if all I remember is how to solve linux prolems, what must I be doing when drunk? Constantly reading man pages? Jon was right! Everyone he turns to LINUX becomes a geek! He's cursed I tell you!

my testimonial

in my youth, i did more than my share of drinking beer......one weekend i was so bombed, my buddy and i could barely walk home. staggering along with a budweiser in my hand, i fell backward spilling a good portion of the beer on my head. well, the next day i received alot of compliments on my hairstyle. 'what did you do to your hair? looks nice' were the comments i received. i've tried to use beer since to get the same manageability i had with my drunken experience, but i could never get the same effect. thanks beer!
