First World Problems...

Why do I have this in a cabinet? I don't particularly like the beer, there is only one, so it isn't even a set, and the reason for its existence is lost in the mists of time and approaching senescence.

I have a vague recollection of one of the brats going through a "Stella Artois" phase, so that must be why, but why it hasn't been tossed is beyond me.

Soon though, my village's semi-monthly bulk pickup will be worked hard. I will revel in discarding...pretty much everything!

27 HAHAHA Stella. Here in liberal Chapel Hill a local bar hosted a beer tourney every year for a number of years around the same time as the NCAA basketball one. Knockout style head to head

Stella would win EVERY SINGLE YEAR because all the guys would split their votes around various porters stouts ipas etc while all the ladies (plus a good number of pansy ass lib type males wearing pants) would vote for the weak ass watered down piss flavored “beer drink.”

Thank you CBD for all your posts look forward to lurking on the food thread again!

29 My FWP today: Some of my wife's friends got together and made arrangements for a boat ride in honor of Father's Day. The other two guys are fine but their wives talk incessantly and are loud and obnoxious.

Just like our combined birthday party 3 weeks ago for 3 of us guys. It wasn't for us guys, it was an opportunity for them to exercise their harpyness.

I have an idea - let me alone. I'd much rather sit in my underwear on the deck drinking with the guys - only. We might speak, we might not. Perfect.

Because the first thing I heard once she got up was "would you mind getting that mulch" ? Which meant "I'm going to say it all day until you bring home that mulch".

Straight up. Heard it was Father's Day on the radio. So I called my Dad on noon. He didn't give a shit either.

54 Stella Artois is a good beer, but they insist on 11.2 oz bottles, and that's a no go for me. I even went to a restaurant where they had it on tap. Server felt compelled to warn me that the normal 24 oz glass (I ordered a large), was going to actually be 22.4 oz. I see this shrinkflation rot has even hit Pilsner Urquell, a beer I still hold in very high regard.

Here's my deal: You figure out how much to charge for twelve ounces of your product. I figure out if your product is worth that charge. If you refuse to offer me twelve ounces of your product at any price, I'll find a vendor that will. Good day to you, sir - I say good day!!

My cupboard still looks like college. Stray mugs, glasses, whatevers as if from former roommates, people who dropped by, thrift shops, something nice that somehow hasn't broken yet. I've given away everything in moves a few times, but somehow it all keeps reassembling itself in my house. In fact, that gives me an idea for a sci-fi short story. Or a Disney movie, about all the mismatched mugs and dishes and silverware that get slammed together in some jolly hodgepodge, and suddenly the owner decides to remodel and they're all going to be thrown out or given away and replaced with shiny-new matching sets. Oh no!

But it doesn't tear straight and half the time you tear down into the zip lock defeated the whole purpose.

Why the architects didn't convince Barky to cut down the length and at least only have the letters on 1 building side the world will never know.

When we have to stop for a train, we often watch the art on the cars. Some of these people are rather talented . It's a shame the cat find a way to use this talent in a more productive way. Then again, if they're doing train car grafitti it means they probably aren't stabbing or robbing someone.

I've cut the top with scissors so many times only to find that no, you had to open the ziplock on the one side to be able to reseal the bag. If their reseal is not going to be useable they should just save themselves the 1/2 cent per bag and not have the stinking ziplock at all.

Have you ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper, James B., when his careless son happened to break a pane of glass? If you have been present at such a scene, you will most assuredly bear witness to the fact, that every one of the spectators, were there even thirty of them, by common consent apparently, offered the unfortunate owner this invariable consolation--"It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Everybody must live, and what would become of the glaziers if panes of glass were never broken?"

Posted by: Howdy at June 21, 2026 03:04 PM (P5MQi)

Since my move to Florida, I keep my pint glasses in the freezer. Otherwise, I'd have to pound every beer if I wanted to enjoy it cold. I do find a pint glass is the superior delivery system for beer, properly bathing the tongue while the foam plays into my sinuses for a fully immersive experience. I understand the utility of drinking straight from the bottle or can when on the beach or in a boat, but at home, nothing beats a frosted glass...

110 Absolute Dictator AOP would station snipers in railyards and other sites known for "tagger" activity. Said snipers to be equipped with integrally suppressed paintball guns. The paintballs would include powerful dyes that bond to protein in human skin, so the splat won't wash off, plus a dollop of blistering agent, like mustard gas. Not enough to be lethal, just enough hurt real good, and make them seek medical attention. Then they could be arrested at the ER.

115 I am down to only two beer pint glasses, as my Budweiser broke due my carelessness. It was given me by a Bud girl working the local liquor store in New Jersey. She said if I bought a 12 pack, I'd get the glass, and she could finally go home. Not a Bud drinker normally, but what the hell, her smile and look if relief was worth it.

The second glass came from The Flying Fish Brewing Co, a place I frequented in PA. That one just disappeared and I suspect it was broken by someone. I have a spare, and the other survivor is from the Back Bay Brewing Company, a Boston establish of which I have many fond memories..

149 Stella Artois is brewed by AB Inbev of Belgium, who is also the parent of Anheuiser-Busch - the maker of Bud Light. Since I have never cared for Anheuiser-Busch beers, and therefore don't drink Budweiser, I was unable to participate in the Bud Light boycott. So I stopped drinking Stella Artois as a kind of vicarious boycott.

Just in case you need an excuse to trash a perfectly usable glass.
