I did that, but it was that I had put the wire in my mouth to hold it as I reached for other tools :D

Also, well done Scythe!

Scythe, are those images hosted off your PC or something? Everytime I load this thread it jumps like MJ Fox as it loads every image, sheesh :P

Yeah, they're hosted on my server, running off a domestic connection. Heaps better than putting them up on some dodgy webhost that might disappear in a few years time.

Mine jumps like a grasshopper but I share the sentiment. Fox is more of a shaking than a jumping.

What about Fox holding a box containing grasshoppers.

"A Fox holding a Box of Hops" sounds like the name of a Dr. Seuss book...

Now I'm trying to imagine what a mint-chocolate beer would taste like.

Horrible.

Rob

I dunno, a lot brews have a coffee/chocolate flavor. I could see adding a few Andes Mints into that.

Yes, but all those chocolate stouts and stuff?
Horrible.

The mint is actually fine by me, so long as you are making a frufy girly beer drink (I had something that was basically a mojito, but with beer instead of soda, was fairly good)

What? Because I don't like Chocolate stouts? They are all horribly sweet. I admit there might be a good one out there, but I reserve the right to be skeptical.

Or because I will drink horribly frufy girly drinks that include mixing beer with anything? For that I accept any and all judgment of poor taste on my part.

Rob

I can't really talk. Beer and cookies are one of my favorite things.

Like cookies in the beer? Floating on top? Chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin?

Rob

Well, not <b>in</b>, but I've been known to dunk. Any kind of cookie will do, really.

That is a fairly horrible idea....

Then again, my mum drink beer through a straw, and I am still pondering on making Stout Floats....

My Aunt and Uncle swear by it by I don't have the taste for it.

This thread reminds me how much we hate our Australian cousins for living in such a beautiful place... although equally makes me glad our internets is much better than there's. There's no way he's ever going to fill those 24 spaces with the small amount of bandwidth per month he gets!

X_Stickman

It's not beautiful! That's why we sent criminals there!

Everything in Australia is designed specifically to kill humans, from the weather to the insects. Even the rocks are sharper in Australia than they are anywhere else.

Also, Dropbears.

lolfighter

You can get cans of dropbear repellant for those.
