I don't know if it was the approaching solstice, or if I had just had too much to drink, but I suggested to Grizzled that maybe he should Guest Blog for me for a week...
He said he might do it, but he wasn't sure if he had anything to say.
HA!
HA, HA!
I suggested he might be inspired by questions coming from the blogosphere... or, he could just write about salt.
This was met with a hand gesture... I'll have to look it up sometime...
Also, I'm not quite sure what will happen when The Explaining Voice meets the Explaining Voices, but it should be interesting.
I posted a question for Grizzled at my blog, Jennifer.
This is going to be hilarious.

People definitely shouldn't blog if they have nothing to say.
Posted by: herr doktor bimler | December 18, 2011 at 07:17 PM
Shouldn't that be announcepants up there?

Grizzled shouldn't let hdb say that about me.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 18, 2011 at 07:19 PM
I would ask Grizzled about adhesives, but I don't think he has anything to say on the subject.

If the End Times are Upon Us, shouldn't there be End Times Cookies? Or/And Cake?
And Vodka?

A couple of those thousand pound cookies would bring about the End Times, should you eat them.

Thundra- there will probably be End Times bourbon... so I can get him back into the zone of saying yes to guest blogging.
I'll just tell him he should write a post as if he were writing to one of our many stellar representatives... which he does on a weekly basis. No one sits next to Grizzled in front of a window.
B^4- I swear, I am retroactively experiencing every Carol's Cookie I've ever eaten, so it's like they had 2300 calories. :( Guilt is not fat-free!
ZRM- I was going to put announcepants, but didn't want Pinko calling his law firm...
fish- Of course you will be good. Why on earth would you have reason to be mean to Grizzled? Only I have reason to be mean to Grizzled, and he probably doesn't deserve half of that.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 19, 2011 at 09:07 AM
I think I saw an ad for "Hell Fire Whiskey" or some such the other day.

Pfft. These days, it's Big Texas Honeybun Law Firm, so all you have to do to confuse them is send them legal motions numbered one, two, three....

LOL and Ouch!

Questions for Grizzled:
1. Why is salt not different colours? I would like blue and purple salts. This would make it easy to sneer at people in restaurants.
2.What does the football talk on fish's blog, mean? A generalised answer would be Ok. I have read it all several times and it appears to be a derivative of English but I suspect a janusnode intervention.
3.When President Gingrich decrees adhesives to be the work of satan, how are you upsidedownies going to stay attached to the Earth?

ZRM- hold your horses!! I said...oops, I didn't say... I thought I had said he might next week... I don't know if he'll have time this week, or for the full week. Besides, after he bought $150 worth of dryer parts this past weekend, and none of them improved the functionality of the dryer... the dryer repair guy who just left, said it's probably the main board... and if we replace that, it'll probably fry your motor. Anyhow, we'll be focusing on replacing the dryer.
Maybe Grizzled will live-blog the Consumer Reports on HE dryers...
I am now telling myself, DO NOT THINK... WHAT NEXT!?!?
On top of it, one of my winter classes was canceled. I got along well with this group and they wanted me to fill in, but they couldn't afford me, and my boss said she's not going to allow me to merely babysit. If they want me, they have to pay for a class. I would have been happy to babysit this group.

The beer I opened... a winter ale, has a slightly Dentyney aftertaste. Although I get the "spiced" aspect, I'm not sure I like it tasting like Dentyne.
Posted by: Jennifer | December 19, 2011 at 04:28 PM
Oh... Cheers, thundra!

That's very funny.

Spiced beers are right out. Prevents drinking too many.

If Grizzled needs other conversation topics, we could talk about the seven different kinds of hammers I listed for purchase by our Robotics team.
I feel like I may have missed a couple.

You folks aren't trying.
Perhaps you should brew right side up?

Haven't started in on phone calls, though.

11% ABV?
Now who's not trying?
Posted by: fish | December 20, 2011 at 10:57 AM
And the reviews are in:
I had this 5 weeks ago. I can still taste it. I have a small glass sitting 7 feet away from me. I can smell it from here. I’m trying to drink another beer right now, so I can’t actually drink this while I m rating it, I’m going to have to do it from memory. Problem is, my brain was so traumatized, I’m having to dig deep here to get past the PTSD that was drinking this beer. Dark brown with a hint of red like maybe bloody dirt water. Ash, tobacco, sin and lost dreams. That’s the aroma in a nutshell. The taste is like Earth might taste after the Machines take over, and is much like the smell. God forbid we ever go through an actual attack if it feels anything like this. Super sticky and full of booze. Kind of like senior prom. Honestly, I think I’ve lost my ability to reproduce.

Interestingly, the ratebeer for the Lakefront averages 91, well above the fish-linked.
That's not even beer anymore.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 20, 2011 at 11:23 AM
I wish someone would have told me that the two kinds of beer we last purchased were much higher in alcohol content.
Gack...

I'm of the "freeze distillation is cheating" school of thought. The Brewdog people are more 'creators of novelty gimmicks' than brewers.

Posted by: herr doktor bimler | December 20, 2011 at 06:34 PM
He'll probably poop in it.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | December 20, 2011 at 07:40 PM

So fish tried to one-up me on the Holiday Spice Lager (a lovely, tasty beer and my favorite in the world, OH SO RIGHT at this time of year) with a gimmick beer HE WOULDN'T EVEN DRINK?
I am throwing the Shenanigans flag, and ask for Referee Pinko Punko to penalize fish with 2 Minutes in the Penalty Freezer.

Posted by: fish | December 21, 2011 at 10:34 AM
Only 2 minutes?
It was classic fish competitive move. You should know better than to bite. Come on... he's bitter. We've got legs and lungs, and can freely move about. He's trapped in a stanky tank of his own excrement.
