OT: 51st Obsequious Banter Thread

[Coffe]

I don't really like beer either, I much prefer vodka, but I used to love Michelob Light. In Stockholm, they sell beer that is around 7.8% - four of them is enough to set you wobbling.

I'm the opposite - beers works but hard liqour, other than whiskey, is a no go for me.

First off, forgive me if this comes off in anyway as gloating or pretentious or anything like that, but I always wondered. In America, the craft beer scene has really taken off, there are a ton of new breweries popping up all the time all over the place. And the alcohol content on these beers can sometimes be astronomical, but it's not really uncommon to see beers in the 11-15 percent range and above. My local pub up the street has a tap list of 30 different beers. Today they have 9 that have an alcohol content above 9 percent. Has that trend not really caught on in Europe?

I can only speak for Sweden - but here there is an upswing in the number of smaller breweries that you can find in our state monopoly alcoholic beverage stores (Systembolaget) originating both from Sweden and abroad. Especially IPA and various derivates of that type have become increasingly popular recently - which could be anywhere from 7 - 10 in percent alcohol content. Smaller brands exist that makes stronger beer, but I rarely drink beers stronger than 10 percent.

Can anyone explain to me why I can't sell my ticket to a concert outside of it, but Stubhub and all these other companies can buy tickets wholesale and upcharge them?

I went on Ticketmaster to buy seats to see Flight of the Conchords (who apparently sell out in under a minute) and they had NO seats available, yet hundreds of tix on sale on Stubhub, Vivid Seats, for 20 bucks more than they are listed on ticketmaster! What the ****!

So should we have a "Cousins" themed 52nd thread?

Personally 52 is the number I wear, so I can volunteer my services as well

 

[sabremike]

RIP Hayabusa. Will always remember his match at ECW Heatwave '98 with Shinseki vs RVD and Sabu which was one of the best PPV's of all time.

We should.



I've been looking to #53 though.

 

[sobrien]

We should.



I've been looking to #53 though.

I am also looking forward to celebrating Denis Tolpeko!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

For the 52nd thread, how about something around "This is my Cousins Thread."

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Damn, House of Cards.

 

[Sombastate]

Damn, House of Cards.

Pretty slow so far but when it happens, you'll know.

 

[Hurricane28]

Damn, House of Cards.

Ive watched 6 episodes so far. Crazy.

Doug Stamper is my hero

I can't wait to start it.

Has One World Sports channel always been around? It is pretty cool....

 

[GapToothedWonder]

So I googled Rumple Mintz and this popped up (a little late I know)

 

[Sniped]

That is a dope picture.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Just got back from driving to Virginia, helping a friend move and then come back up in the same day. Been a long one.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Where in VA?


That ad is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Alexandria for the move and then Church Falls to visit my brother.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Haha, I think you mean Falls Church.

Alexandria can be a nice area. The northern and western parts have seen a random uptick in gang violence since the last part of 2015, which is a shame. I lived there for four years.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Yeah, sorry about the mix up.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Another year, another successful Erin Express. God damn am I beat though. I think I'm getting old.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I think I'm going next weekend.

 

[PALE PWNR]

I think I'm going next weekend.

I think I'm going again next weekend

 

[Sniped]

Damn, that's quite a lot of coin.

 

[Sombastate]

Just finished House of Cards...

My god.
