Dang, I could go for that. Have all of our wives and girlfriends brew for us. Then we'd just be a drinking club.

They're actually related to herring. Probably taste pretty good. Thanks wikipedia.

He will consider your humor a load of pollacks if you use too many puns. To really get him pouting, you must be subtle and creative with your whiting.

With his threats he is just baiting this grouper of word smiths. At this point he is just threading the line and putting the worm on the hook for us to bite.

back to reality folks,

I agree that women played a huge part in brewing but I don't think we can
give them credit for discovering fermentation. This likely occured simultaneously around the world not by man or woman, but by what we would refer to as a Neanderthal Tranny, to put it into context of today.

And that's an ender.

So they created a beverage that makes them look hotter, but doesn't have some of the side effects of whiskey. Brilliant.

Would that be an automatic tranny or a manual tranny John? :)

Is that a boy or a girl in that photo? I thought it was a little boy at first but that's quite an effeminate shirt he has on.

Hey now, this is a family site Larry, no bringing "little mark" into the conversation!

I tried to stop it, but they wouldn't listen. :(

The correct term for the little person is 'gender neutral'.
