Stuster - they are not wasted hours! I think you have been 'investing' in other brewers' educations

Cheers,

InCider.

 

[Stuster]

But what's the return on my investment? Compound interest daily? How much per word? :unsure:


Oops, if we work it like that we'll all owe heaps to PP. :lol:

Stuster has made it to 2000 posts ,
Hop Of the Month he personally hosts .
Stu must be an IT guy,
He always on line flying high .
Always hunting down a good recipe

He really has a brewers brain
He not happy until the husks go down the drain.

So many posts there has to be a catch,
Stu is just waitng to be marked by Pistolpatch.

Great Pumpy!

 

[InCider]

Pumpy's got me inspired!

There once was a brewer called InCider,
And it's all his own fault he's a bike rider.
He huffs and he puffs,
To get the wife up the duff,
And they shout: "Keep going InCider!"

 

[Stuster]

Aw. Shucks. Thanks Pumpy.

Congratulations Stuster :beer:

After all your top posts, you have to give us more than two sentences. I mean Pumpy's even written a poem for you and InCider an extra special off-topic post of his! (I've even just deleted about a thousand embarrassing words in a post above that I left up for over a week that I was hoping would inspire you to do likewise. That plan dismally failed!)

Come on maaaaate! At least tell us your most embarrassing brewing mistake.

We're all beers ears and waiting patiently.

[discoloop]

Well this is my hundredth post. I guess this is as good an opportunity as any to thank everyone who has answered all my stupid questions and to apologise in advance to anyone I dish out dodgy advice to.

What a great community. I wish I'd found it (and the hobby) sooner!

I'm sure many here can relate to the attached image...

Edit: Hey - I'm a "partial man" now. Cool!

 

[blackbock]

Thats very amusing but I think you're pulling our legs!

 

[boingk]

Discoloop - very nice indeed! Hahaha...

Anywho...this is my 200th post and I'd like to thank everyone who's helped me out and put up with my persistent askings of opinion - especially in regard to such off-kilter brews as my Chilli Vanilli

Here are some good youtube vids to keep everyone entertained. All beer-related of course!

Cheers everyone - boingk

[jayse]

Here is a encore of a milestone post of mine for your reading pleasure:super:
From
Here

Yeehaa this post is number 2112, perhaps you best use california lager :chug:
In tribute to my reaching this magicall number heres the lyrics to that famous 20 odd minute Rush song 2112.

"I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening.

"My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons.
I believed what I was told. I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all..."

I. Overture

And the meek shall inherit the earth...

II. Temples of Syrinx

... "The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests..."

We've taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes.
It's one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why.

We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls.
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls.

Look around at this world we've made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh, what a nice, contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand.

We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls.
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls.

III. Discovery

... "Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful" ...

... "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can't wait to tell the priests about it! ..."

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Sounds that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain.

I can't wait to share this new wonder
The people will all see its light
Let them all make their own music
The Priests praise my name on this night.

IV. Presentation

... "In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall." ...

... "Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet..."

I know it's most unusual
To come before you so
But I've found an ancient miracle
I thought that you should know
Listen to my music
And hear what it can do
There's something here as strong as life
I know that it will reach you.

Yes, we know, it's nothing new
It's just a waste of time
We have no need for ancient ways
The world is doing fine
Another toy will help destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the plan.

I can't believe you're saying
These things just can't be true
Our world could use this beauty
Just think what we might do.
Listen to my music
And hear what it can do
There's something here as strong as life
I know that it will reach you.

Don't annoy us further!
We have our work to do.
Just think about the average
What use have they for you?
Another toy will help destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the Plan!

V. Oracle: The Dream

... "I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so vivid to me. Clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase" ...

... "I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities and the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and understanding as I saw a completely different way to life, a way that had been crushed by the Federation long ago. I saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss of all these things ..."

I wandered home though the silent streets
And fell into a fitful sleep
Escape to realms beyond the night
Dream can't you show me the light?

I stand atop a spiral stair
An oracle confronts me there
He leads me on light years away
Through astral nights, galactic days
I see the works of gifted hands
That grace this strange and wondrous land
I see the hand of man arise
With hungry mind and open eyes

They left the planet long ago
The elder race still learn and grow
Their power grows with purpose strong
To claim the home where they belong
Home to tear the Temples down...
Home to change!

VI. Soliloquy

... "I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last."

The sleep is still in my eyes
The dream is still in my head
I heave a sigh and sadly smile
And lie a while in bed
I wish that it might come to pass
Not fade like all my dreams...

Just think of what my life might be
In a world like I have seen!
I don't think I can carry on
Carry on this cold and empty life

My spirits are low in the depths of despair
My lifeblood...
...spills over...

VII. The Grand Finale
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
Attention all Planets of the Solar Federation
We have assumed control.
We have assumed control.
We have assumed control.
