    That’s not how a whoosh works.

    I post a sarcastic comment and you take it seriously, how is that not a ‘whoosh’? Isn’t the premise of ‘whoosh’ is that it’s the sound it makes when a comment, goes over your head? In this case, the obvious sarcasm.
    No. That’s not how it works.

    You have neither the context nor the track record to pull this off.

    Maybe next time.
    You claim I’m wrong but offer no explanation, just condescension. Eerily similar to every political argument you make. How about I quit engaging you and leave you with this simple message: fuck off.
    What part of “you lack context and a track record” did you fail to understand?

    If you need me to explain a message bored staple that goes back 2 decades, maybe you’re the problem. PM IrishDawg. Get dialed in. Or don’t. But don’t blame me for your ignorance.
    Epic showdown, I say.

    I hear there’s another message bored at Doogman dot com. I think you’d fit in there.

    One of us is upset. One of us isn’t.

    I’ll let the people decide.

    IPAs and NW microbrews suck. Give me euro beers or give me death. Fight me on it.



    Edibles all good.

    This thread is becoming a catch all for the worst takes. Good lord.

    Agree on edibles, but that other part is pure garbage. Prefer what you prefer, but the PNW owns the IPA game. Bigly.

    PWNING a suck category is like winning the Class 1B championship....big deal, now go play with the big boys.

    Tallest midget.

    Now, are you Team gummies or Team infused-soda on the edibles side?

    European beers are more overrated than the socialist healthcare they peddle.

    I'm not going to judge you for drinking bile.

    False.

    Belgium and Germany make some fantastic beer.

    I had some peach flavored gummies over the weekend that were goddamned delicious. Aesthetically, they kind of fucked up the infusion so there was a big blue blob in the middle. But that chowed down fine and in 90 minutes or so I gave no fucks. May have even been persuaded to knock back a bile-flavored IPA if one had been available. But there wasn't so vodka/club it had to be.

    I usually don’t mix beer and gummies.

    But when I do, odds are that beer will be an IPA.

    I will add, drinking Lowland scotch is like drinking piss.

    Never drink scotch on the rocks or with an ice ball. It shows you're a novice, and likely a gigantic wuss. If the scotch is too strong, just give it literally a single drop or two of water. It changes the entire makeup of your pour.

    I was actually schooled on that in an Edinburgh pub. We bought a couple flights of whisky (as the Scots call scotch) and they delivered it along with a little glass of water and a straw. I’m like WTF is this for? They go on to explain a DROP or two of water is allowable. A DROP!!!

    A couple of the whiskys ripped holes in my esophagus but I’d be damned if I was going to pussy out and use the straw dropper.
    How about you get a cool looking rock, wash it clean, then put it in the glass while damp? Equivalent to a drop of water being added and you still have a drink "on the rocks."

    Please, forgive the dad joke. Can't help it now that the second one has arrived.

    No, it means that you like drinking cooler beverages than warmer beverages

    There are very few things I have any desire to drink at room temperature
    Try whisky stones. On the rocks used to literally mean adding cold stones from the river. As much as ice dilutes, it also dumbs your tongue to subtleties. The rocks don't get it that cold



    That is unless you just like it with ice, then have it with ice.
    God dammit. I shoulda read a couple posts further...

    I remember my IPAs suck phase.

    Not saying there aren't good Euro beers, don't twist. I love Belgians, trappists and other shit brewed by monks, saisons, etc. It sounds like you prefer stuff with malt/candy behind it. You just need to find the right gateway beer to get in to IPAs. This is spoken from personal experience. I hated beer until after I turned 30.

    Agree with you here. My brother and dad are big beer guys and I’ve had some great IPA’s from them. I never care enough to remember which ones they are tho.

    The Throbber is much closer to 2x30 years old than 30.

    Moving into what could feasibly be the third period in the game of life, the range of items ingested has been broad across several continents. IPAs are somewhere between bile and quinine.
