Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[soundofmusic]

Nope I was too young to attend then, even if I had lived in the US.
But I did visit Woodstock Sept 2009 even tho the show actually took place in Bethel 1969.

You see, I usually present my desires and dreams in life... this is what you see. Like this. Hmmmmm!



Joking, joking... but I do admire that bod.

You're our kind of girl, all right. Though, I think having that bloke doing ironing is just a waste; and the wind up in the back might interfer with his best position...I think I'd add alittle hair on the head and take off about 5 years; but that's just personal taste..

You certainly picked the right thread!

Hmmm, that's rather....interesting. If you post to forums and tweet while still drunk the good thing is that you can remember it better the following morning. The bad thing is that you can remember it better the following morning and that apparently, others can too.

... I can't fix them or get them back together. Oh, for the days when a person could pull out the tube from their television and test them at the 7-11

Ha, ha --I vaguely recall the vaccum tube testers in the stores. Believe it or not, but I actually have a box full of vaccum tubes from my father's collection of garage junk he kept over the years.
Sounds like another photo op. The younger crowd might apreciate how far we've come!

Soundofmusic,
Happy Mothers Day!

Here are the vacuum tubes I promised you…



Remember these glowing beacons of radiation humming in unison drawing us toward the idiot box through hypnotic effect?

Claude Frollo boldly proclaimed it was the book that killed the edifice. And while the book brought peril to 15th century gothic architecture, it is Gilliatt’s contention that the vacuum tube killed the intellect!
An entire generation allowed Hugo, Plato, Seuss and Cervantes to fall from their laps. Eyes shunned the printed word, now transfixed on the glow emanating from vacuum tubes and CRT’s. Enough heat was generated to keep a roast warm! And remember the radiation threats?
I still recall mother shouting: Gilliatt and Deruchette how many times have I told you not to sit too close to the Zenith, or you’ll get radiation. Now get back to your TV trays where you will find a piping hot Swanson’s.
See, it’s your favorite, the three course turkey dinner! Yummy yum yum…

Tell me children, what are the magical tubes bringing us tonight…?
Ahh yes… a couple of classics:

Poetry recital (Allen Ginsberg - eat your heart out)
If you look carefully, you’ll see Paulclem and family:

You're not the first merry one to come onto the cold ale thread. You're among friends.

We even have interpreters when he's at his merriest; but don't worry mate, we never use the camcorder on our friends

You certainly picked the right thread!

I think Parker is putting out adverts outside the best pubs!

Hmmm, that's rather....interesting. If you post to forums and tweet while still drunk the good thing is that you can remember it better the following morning. The bad thing is that you can remember it better the following morning and that apparently, others can too.

You must hold your liquor well; most of the chaps I meet claim they don't remember a thing from the night before....or is that just something they tell their girlfriends.

Soundofmusic,

Thank you, Gilliatt
Oh gosh, it brings a tear to these old eyes. Could you really get electrocuted changing them even with the power off...the hubby always got really nervous when I was fishing around in the back of the television.
Those are some great tv moments: I didn't realize they had swanson with soup. I used to think tv dinners were a real treat along with a coke from a glass bottle and a hershey bar. Do you remember "pee wee" drinks ; they were in flavors like cherry and grape. Oh, and 7-up bars, a candy with 7 fillings in one bar...
I loved Mr Ed and the Munsters...

Not only that.

We're depriving the rest of humankind still to come - well, the boys anyway - the amazing discovery of what happens to a CRT when a .22 bullet hits it.

Sacre bleu! Votre Allamagne est un trop de rubbish, nest pas?

Etes-vous Francais? Votre parlezing, c'est tres bien.

Boy, does that bring memories as well.

Bastardising French and English was an immediate caning 40 years ago.

Ah, what a thread. Nostalgia, bad French and cold ale. Can't be many better combos than that!

It is amusing to see what types of advertisments will appear. As of this moment I am getting "American Public University" adds. How do you suppose the powers that be working behind the curtains associated higher education with this thread?

I was a bit nervous holding the vacuum tubes over the concrete slab in my garage.
I would feel a bit more at ease with a .22 at 3,000 meters.
Ok...maybe 30 meters.

Guns is an excellent choice of topic.

Duckshooting season started last weekend. I'm not likely to have a go this year - or ever again, going by my kids' attitude to ducks - but I love the sound of gunfire.

As well as the taste of duck a l'orange!

I shall be taking down my Webley and Scott to have a rabbit lessening session very soon.

That's a strange thing - when I'm drunk I'm convinced that my English, German, French, Esperanto, Russian, Finnish, Italian, Spanish, Latin and Icelandic are all perfect, despite the fact that I've never studied some of them more than a few hours, but then again...


You know, when Crookes came up with the Crookes tube, which is the forefather of the vacuum tube, he thought that it had that nice fluorescence due to spirits doing something with it. Looking at all the quantum mysticism one hears nowadays it seems that humans tend to stay rather the same.

Now rabbit shooting is a great sport, and one which I insist on still doing - rabbits are noxious pests.

I'm hoping to go to the great Easter bunny shoot next year.

I came back early from work and now I'm drunk. Blame it on Pessoa and his depressing book. Je suis fou! Who's talking about guns here? Please no .22! Let's go to the range with 30-06, alright? No bunnies, no bunnies! Inanimate targets are more than enough, though I have killed some vermin in my darker years.

@Tal, a woman awoke from coma and started talking in Chinese. I think you're onto something.

@everyone: appreciate the Greek riot-dog: http://www.thisblogrules.com/2010/03...or-years.html/

Hell, this could get to be a tradition - the last bastion of the internet; somewhere to post while drunk!

Inanimate targets are more than enough, though I have killed some vermin in my darker years.

There gets a stage where a stale old target just doesn't work. In fact, the weapon I most crave live targets for is my bow. Hitting a target just doesn't mean anything. I'd rather miss a pheasant by an inch than hit ten bulls in a row.

@everyone: appreciate the Greek riot-dog:

Classic!
