Mean Papa did you change brands of BEER?

Or

Are you just being MEAN to us again!

Try this, why is it you still see cars made in the teen's,20's, 30's 40's and 50's still running strong and all orginal yet cars built from the 60's on are considered planned obsolescense?

There was a battery made in the 30s that was garranted for life, some are still working quite well too.

Then there was beer back in those days that is not around today.

MEAN MEAN MEAN of them to stop making the good old stuff and come out with cheap copies of it.

Jon,

Pilsner Urquell, Beck's Dark or St Pauli Girl Dark are my favorites - if you're looking to buy me a beer. Did you know that Pilsner Urquell dates back to 1842? (I believe it's the first Pilsner.) The other advantage to drinking Urquell is when I have guests, not many are brave to pilfer my beer. I keep plenty of Bud and Coors on hand for guests.

They had an 80 beers around the world beer contest a few years ago at a Hyatt Regency lounge. I drank all 80 types of beer (not in one night) so I have been known to change beers from time to time. Be leary of beers with animals on the label....

No, I'm not MEAN to you in specific - I'm MEAN to everyone, just ask my grand-daughter who gets teased relentlessly.

I'm always leary of life-time guarantees - whose life is it guaranteed for: my life, my mother's life or the life of the merchandise?


Good to see you on the stump Jon!

Regards,

Mean Papa,

I am fully aware your not mean as in MEAN to us, you just have fun with names and that I can deal with.

As for when they say it will be ready in a week, a day or whatever I always ask which YEAR, you would be surprised how quickly they get yours done when you ask that question!

I tease people too, so much so the wife has made a statement, DON'T DO IT AGAIN.

I know all to well what happens when I forget and do it again. LOL

80 beers, ok you say not in one day, so how many hours did they let you sleep and walk the first 40 off before you went back to the last 40?

Sure I'll buy you a beer, one can not a case mind you:)

What makes Pilsner Urquell so much better then all the other beers or is it just the name?

One day there was a meeting of several beer company executives. After the meeting the CEOs of Budweiser, Coors, and Guinness all went to lunch. The waitress approached to take their drink orders. When the CEO of Budweiser was asked what he'd like to drink, he said "I think I'll have a Bud!". Next, the CEO of Coors was asked, and answered "I think I'll have a Coors!". The waitress next asked the CEO of Guinness what he'd like to drink. He said "Hmmm...I think I'll have a Coke". The other two looked at him in surprise, and one asked him why he didn't order a Guinness? Looking confused, he said "Well, since you weren't have a beer, I didn't feel that I should either" :D
 
Jon,

I've learned over the years to stop the teasing just shy of tear drops (with relatives) - all others are on their own. It's not a pretty sight watching a grown man cry from being teased, unless it's my neighbor.

Urquell is a full flavored drink and is a BEER. I don't think light beers are very popular in europe. You don't need to drink a 12-pack. My friend (I only have one - which is good cause I always claim I have none) let me buy him an Urquell one time - I ended up drinking all except one drink.

I grew up in Europe - that's how I acquired my taste for the full bodied beers. Then again I use tobasco sauce, crushed peppers, or cayenne peppers with my breakfast most days. So maybe my taste buds are dull. The monks of southern Germany (black forest - Andechs) make some of the best beers I've ever tasted.

Some of the 80 beers were 20, 24, or 32 oz. beers (a quart of Colt 45 was not one) - it took about 10-12 sittings. I don't remember much about that time frame. Come to think of it, I felt no pain!


Mike,
That joke has been my philosophy for years. Anytime a waiter/waitress starts listing Bud Light, Coors Light, PBR, etc. after I ask what beers you carry - my response is "I asked what kind of beers you have!"

A day without a beer is bad for your health - finally the American Heart Association is recognizing what I've been preaching for years.


Cheers! Cherios! Bottoms Up!
Don't spill any on your liderhosen!
