Previous Mystery Bottle LIFs: The idea: http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/twstandleys-lif-lif.19158/#post-230034 #1. http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/mystery-bottle-lif-part-1.29293/ #2. http://beeradvocate.com/community/t...2-beerios-edition-take-two.36657/#post-524740 #3. http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/rock-paper-scissors-tournie-lif.59263/page-2#post-794264 #4. http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/mystery-bottle-lif-4-bingo-edition.66437/ "Rules, I send a box containing two bombers to the winner with one of the bottles wrapped up so they don't know the contents (mystery bottle) and one unwrapped (bottle #2). The mystery behind the wrapping could be an awesome bottle or a double-deuce of steel reserve. Winner of the LIF only posts the portion of their haul that isn't going to be part of the next round. The recipient then has to start their own LIF that contains one of the two bottles I sent, either the mystery bottle still in its wrapping or the other bottle that is now wrapped up plus another bottle (or you may elect to have your new bottle be the "mystery bottle"). How to win: Okay, I have had a couple of fairly rough weeks at work, and as a result I have become a grumbling, hateful, ill-tempered shell of my usual good hearted, benevolent, cheerful self. Maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but even so I need a bit of cheering up. So I am looking for any good/great beer related stories, jokes, pictures, etc… Let’s try to keep it somewhat clean and beer related. The winner will be chosen by the number of likes at the time that I shut this one down (he/she with the most likes wins). I will leave this one open through the weekend and will choose a winner on Sunday evening/night. Sorry, only open to the lower 48. Good luck
So maybe this will brighten your day.... Last night my brother (smo on BA) is out with his friend in NYC drinking like fish. I get a txt at 7:14pm saying "Don't ever let me get your phone" with a MUHAHAHAHA attached to it. I open the photo and its the picture shown below. His friend went to the bathroom and my brother responded to his wife. His friend eventually returns and has no clue that this ever happened. Eventually his wife responded with a "wtf" and once he saw what my brother wrote, they both laughed for a good half hour and then decided to keep it going and he told his wife he went into the bathroom and had to throw away his underwear and apparently she believed it for a while until he said people were looking at him because of the smell. You can't make this kinda shit up! ENJOY!
Not really a story, but an amusing observation. My phone has auto complete that learns common words based on usage. This includes formatting like caps, etc. Currently when I type "holy" the next words to be recommended based on usage are 'shit' and "CANTILLON!!"
This always makes me laugh. A member of my tasting group performing the "nose investigation" and "ear feel". We have evolved the and enhanced the way that we analyze beer with the enhanced nose investigation with the wide open mouth and added the very important "ear feel" component when performing a proper beer analysis.
I don't know how this will translate, but it was funny as hell when it happened. I went to a bottle share at our favorite watering hole with a buddy "friend A". Being semi responsible adults, we had my wife drop us off, and his wife was on call to pick us up. We met "friend B" at the bottle share and proceeded to have a very good time. "B" called it a night and headed out. "A" decided it was time to call for a ride. What he didn't know was that "B" was out in the parking lot talking to his wife when he called her (she had figured it was about time for us to be leaving and headed over on her own). She let "B" answer. "A" apologized for misdialing and hung up. Called her again. B answered again. I had no idea what was going on, but I could see my buddy getting frustrated. The third time he tried to call his wife, he actually dialed the number instead of using speed dial. B still answered. This was the point at which a cell phone was nearly hurled through the front window of the bar. The fifth try was answered by B, and A was literally turning purple and yelling at his "stupid fucking phone" as B and his wife were walking back into the bar. Again, don't know how well I told the story, but I don't ever remember laughing any harder than I did that night when we figured out what had been going on.
Hey guys, alot of good stuff so far. I was hoping for a little more participation so I am going to leave this one open for a few more days. I will close it out and choose a winner on Wednesday evening. Keep em' coming.
With the advent of the Anti-Fun Initiative, and my recent unban from the forums I'll have to pass on this until I get myself back into good standing. Until then I've been relegated to sleeping under Todd's bed.
I envision your new relationship to be like this: ITPUTSTHELOTIONONITSSKINORELSEITGETSTHEHOSEAGAIN.biz or possibly this: bringoutthegimppulpfiction.edu but it's most likely this: ThankYouSirMayIHaveAnother.gov
I present to you: "Cool Story Bro" http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/no-memes-non-beer-videos-images-animated-gifs-etc.74751/
And the winner is...... smonice Congratulations on the win. Looking forward to the next installment of this LIF
So I opened the box as soon as it landed today and tore into the extras first. Awesome stuff and I have only had the Dark Truth (last night) and the Kalamazoo before so I was already excited for the others. Like CPBlack85 I had to go with the Mystery Bottle which worked in my favor since I have wanted some Dark Lord since first seeing it on BA. I take my hat off to CPBlack85 and all of the previous Mystery LIF winners for keeping this going and for BIFing some awesome beers! New Mystery Bottle LIF will be up soon! Stay tuned!
