Chris, is this an invisible link?


I think it'd be easier to just build a chair with a fridge built in to hold the beer... potentially less painful too!

You know you've had too many when they start hitting you on the head?     ::eek::

In developing his beer catapult, Cornwell said he dented a few walls and came close to accidentally throwing a can through his television. He has since fine-tuned the machine to land a beer where he usually sits at home, on what he called "a right-angle couch system."


Nice call, sounds like you thought more about that possibility than he did... until it almost happened.   ;)

No doubt.  Of all the beer companies that would pay him to use their beer, he picked Miller!?   ::sick::

What is it the Canadians say?  "American piss water"?  No, I don't really like Miller Lite.  MGD isn't bad, but I think any Michelob product is just about the best American beer you can get.  Except that Ultra crap.

I prefer Heineken myself...

I hope there won't be an argument about the beer brand when it comes time to get doused with beer after Airtransrecon passes his checkride....  ::sick::

That beer is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  good. 

Thank you, I have been wondering what the name was...  and that is IT.  We had these nice little mini-apartments there, with kitchens, wow, once I found that, well, you know what MY fridge was full of.  Of course, it didn't take long for everyone to figure that out, either!!!!!!

Gee, I might have to save that picture.  HEH HEH.     ::drinking::

Gibbo, we must have the same brother-in-law......  I was a broke little fire puke and was desperately spending any spare dimes on flying lessons, and it was a BIG sacrifice to come up with a couple cold beers for the weekend.....  and I had a brother-in-law who would actually stop by my apartment when in town, let himself in (everyone knew where the key was), eat what little food there was, and WORST OF ALL, DRINK MY BEER!!!!!!!!!    ::complaining:

It ended all of a sudden, when I threw his lazy a** out.  It also cut down on phone calls from my sister.  Heh heh, funny how that works....

And it wasn't my imagination ----  when my sister told my Dad she was really going to marry this "person", my dad slowly lowered the newspaper he was reading, looked at her and said evenly:  "I can take a joke....."

He was such a wise man.......    ::bow::

Dad's do have such great senses of humour!!! When my sister came home with her tounge pierced  :o Dad looked at her and went "Now how do you expect to meet a nice boy with that lisp you bought?  ::rofl::

Yeah my brother in law NEVER brings his own over here AND if we go to his place for dinner or a BBQ etc I HAVE TO TAKE MY OWN there 'cause he never has any AND THEN DRINKS THE ONES I BOUGHT OVER!!!!!  AAARRRGGHHH ::knockedout::

Oh that is good.  I like your Dad!!     :D

And I think we have the SAME brother-in-law.  This guy sounds the same -- except (I would bet) he's actually worse....  my other sister had a contest once to see if we could think of ANYONE who liked this guy (even a TEENY bit), and we couldn't come up with a soul......  except for the airhead who married him......  HA.     ::loony::

Yes, that's exactly what it's called----and at the top of that list is anything brewed by Budwieser.   That's what the Clydesdales are for, to provide flavor ::whistle::

 ::sick:: american beer... I can hardly understand you cal it a beer.

British beer are drinkable. Some british beer are good.

German beer is good. Some german beer is perfect.

Aussie Foster is tasty.

Nothing can compete with czech beer. Not even slovak beer.

Hoooooooooo.....  that was a GOOD one.   ::wave::

Seriously, I wouldn't wish that one brother-in-law on ANYONE.  Even my Mom, who was simply incapable of saying anything bad about ANYONE, could only sit there and say slowly....  "well....  he is a little different....."     ::rofl::     If you knew her, you would know what an awful judgment that really was!!!!  HA HA.
