    Man this thread went way off track while I was away... lol...

    I don't like drinking beer from a can either but if you punch a hole on the other side in the top where your mouth doesn't go the flow is good. Else punch a hole in the bottom and shotgun it.

    I love the flow of beer from a can. With practice, I find it smoother than a bottle. Don't cover the opening, don't tilt it so far that air can't get in, and go with the flow. No need for shotgun mods, and you can chug a can in about 12 seconds. I agree with K-moe, if you need it even faster, shots of whiskey or bourbon are the way to go! Also, canned beer travels way better. Wifey and I have a pastime called Drinkwalking. Fill a backpack with beer, drink and walk. You would be amazed at the adventures that find you when you Drinkwalk.

    Drinkwalking - sounds like fun. Might give it a go. I was joking about the shotgun - haven't done that in 15 years. These days I prefer to enjoy my beer, hoppy IPA's or Saisons are my preference but it's confusing that for every four-pack I drink it turns into a one-pack. I tried drinking 1 and a 1/2 four packs at a time but, nope, just a one-pack.

    I like six or seven tall boys. Tell your momma you only had six. Tell the boys it was more like nine or ten!

    Zing! LMAO.

    Up at the farm they sell 'grenades' - Rhinelander shorty's http://www.rhinelanderbrewery.com/news.html
    Little 7 oz. bottles, they just shoot right down . . . problem is you end up with a lot of bottles laying about. o_O

    Oh and since we are veering way off course again in the Hangout Lounge. Just got up to the farm tonight (we got wifi now!). Shot back a couple shorties and snacked on some blondies* that my wife made . . . Secret ingredient? Bacon crumbled up in the batter! :D

    *blondies are like brownies but 'blonde' instead of brown.

    How to Post to a Fark Beer Thread
    By Fluff Girl

    Reprinted with permission from the Christian Science Monitor


    So there you sit on a quiet Sunday, reviewing Fark threads, when up pops a familiar topic: beer. Specifically, the topic of best beers. Of course, some of the more elite Farkers are weighing in on their personal favorites, arguing the merits of the obscure sub-varieties that you have never heard of. You glance dejectedly at the half-empty tall-boy can of Busch Light, and realize that you don't even have enough class to use a coaster. Again, you glance longingly at the beer thread and wish to contribute. What to do?

    The answer is alarmingly simple. First, you must emphatically state that all American beer is crap. You may not vary from this rule. It may seem odd that a bunch of monitor jockeys drink nothing but beer that costs ten dollars for a six pack, but don't question this. It's how things are done. Nobody knows why. When you take a guilty look at the cheap beer you are drinking, remember that your Adult Friend Finder profile lists your body type as "athletic." It's kind of the same principle. C'mon. It's the internet.

    Then, remember that Google is your friend. You can find the most obscure beer ever, one that is crafted one bottle at a time by a rare sect of hairless trappost monks who are afflicted with both albinism and cryptorchidism, for instance. You may then proclaim that your favorite brew is "Bald Belgian White One-Ball Pale Ale." No one will call you out, because they are busily researching their own favorite beer that is located nowhere near them and they can't afford to drink.

    Top off your post with a witty and well-rehearsed bon mot, something along the lines of "I like my beer like I like my women, blonde and yeasty."

    Using these simple pointers, you too can become a seasoned beer snob and post with confidence.

    Ps the average 6 pack here is always over 10 bucks. But most of that is for the government, not the beer!
