10. Is that really why you like warm beer?

I don't mind lukewarm...especially bitter beers, but I can't drink it room temp. Yuck.

11. Nah. I just don't like really cold drinks, unless it's super hot out.

I am not really an old man, yet. :P

8. Actually, it has to be well below 32 degrees,

since the ethanol and other additives will depress the freezing point of beer. It will depend from beer to beer, however.

during the time they were in my truck hauling that.

13. 50-60. Cellar temperature.

Eveything is best drunk at the temperature at which it was intended to be drunk. Stout is a cellar-temperature beer.

I, on the other hand, am intended to be drunk at approximately 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

*checking thermostat*

Huzzah! I shall now go get drunk!

14. Minor quibble:

Guinness recommends you drink their draught at 43 degrees.

20. But you are he!

How can this be?
DUers who ply
Poor Whitacre D_WI
With words and with drink
Until he does stink
Of lust and of gin.
Please, let him in!
Do not bar the door
Of Love anymore.
Oh Donkey, oh m-jean,
Allow me to come clean:
Your mind games ain't shit --
I'm the poetical wit!

Your attempt to make sense of life through verse is very moving, though.

23. Do not cry, little one.

I make my rhymes for naught but fun,
Unless I write to ease my pain.
O spleen! O my tormented brain.
Fret you not, sweet wayward child.
Age only makes sharp from mild.

24. I ain't no child, you drunken fool,

I've lived on naught but mead and gruel.
I've known toil and known pain
I've wept the tears that strong men c'aint.
I've thunk the thoughts that set men free,
Dug glass and gravel from a wounded knee.

26. Your verse is staid, hackneyed, and trite;

Yet it'll do on such a night
As this -- desperate yearning
For drunkenness, lift your wing
And carry me 'neath! I yearn
For Truth, but I will never learn.
Truth is a lie, my friend --
Life is bullshit, start to end.

28. Do not discourage the child, Whitacre! She is a prodigy!

Quaff your ale with naught a sound
Your chirping causes me head to pound
Return to the cave from whence you came
And think of more verses e'er as lame!

Edited on Mon May-17-04 05:34 PM by Whitacre D_WI

for I drink not draughts, but whiskey!
Bourbon, 'tis sure, to be precise.
You're near as funny as m-jean,
But don't look so nice.

31. Good show!

Bushmills and soda, yea, 'tis true
The finest drink this man has knew
Suffice, will bourbon, in a pinch
If brewed by the lads at the burg of Lynch
But pour me a tankard of ale...aye a brace
And I'll bask in the beauty of m-jean's face

32. You idiot bastard! How dare you say

That Lynchburg makes anything but "Tennessee whiskey?"
Bourbon comes not from the folk at Jack Daniels,
But from the old pot-stills in the Kentucky hills.
And think not of turning this thread to your flirtation.
I'm most concerned with my own masturbation.

34. Methinks you'll fail, with consternation

to enjoy the fruits of masturbation
See! You grip your drink with your right hand
Which performs the motion your loins demand
But faced with the choice of a tug or sip
You'll keep the bourbon in your grip

36. I need not immediate release

When my libido is primed for a piece.
I can go as long as I want, my friend,
And the whole experience is more than the end.
I sip and I lick and I lap and I sup,
When I am in the midst of an imaginary fuck.

I'm truly humbled, to be in the company of you two.
To be able to write such immaculate verse
on topics so filthy--Is it a gift, or a curse?

to write a verse with message unclean
but you already know, as this gift you possess,
so I beseech you to wear a more tight-fitting dress.

You are so simplistic out in Oregon.
The world of afar is very complex --
Nonetheless, there is naught more important than sex!

For I have a thrist I've been longing to slake
If you enjoy fine Scotch whiskey, I implore
you to try a fine bottle of the great Aberlour

30. You're right, a frightful hack I am.

But that doesn't mean I don't know sin
Sin and vice are all I live for;
Without them, life is such a bore.
Yes, the quest for truth will leave you cold
Far better to lie, cheat, and dream of gold. . .

35. So, you turn your verse into crude sex talk

In some pathetic attempt to offend and shock.
I'll have you know, it will take you plenty of gold
If it is THIS body that you're aching to hold.

37. This body, that body, any body really.

Bodies of many stripes are able to thrill me.
Gold is nothing but a relic of earth,
While ecstasy brings a whole other lever of mirth.
Do not resign yourself to worldly things:
It is the eternal that makes the body sing.

Fuck it all. I'm about
To eat some chocolate candy.

But I always thought her a wicked young sort --
One who jacks threads and copycats, all for sport!

50. Cold, and fizzy

I know that's not traditional, but I first discovered guinness when it was bottled for US consumption, and it was carbonated about as much as domestic beers. I developed a taste for it that way. I still like it fizzy-it's got a nice bite that way. And when it's like that, it's even better cold.
