Random Rant

[trey kule]

It has been one of those days. And so I take refuge in AvCanada and the fellowship of those in the aviaition world. so I share my random rant and hope others will do the same..

1. I was at the lounge on the way home. What is it with Corona beer? It is crap. rat piss. Some brilliant advertising executive has made some of the mindless sheep believe that if they put a slice of lime in this swill they will be cool...Heres a hint kids...Your idiots. Sopt paying a premium price to be cool. Drink some real beer unless one of the light beers that now are flavored with lime will make you feel more like a hero. I feel a little better now.

2 I went ona the internet to check the news when I got home.. Frankly, I dont think the fact Linday Lohan is going to jail is news. I dont give a rats ass about lindsay lohan. She is some crack addicted actress with big assets. I have to wonder who thinks this is news...
I feel even better now

3. And what is with this cpl.atc? This is an aviaition website. Miscellaneous yet, but I am getting sore fingers from flicking past all his posts. Is he some defrocked preiest? An ex scout leader convicted pedophile? What is his problem with the police? I am hoping that everyone will join me by a. not reading anything he posts about the police, and b. if you must read at least dont feed him by posting. Maybe he will go away. I feel much better now.

Feel free to post your rants...And now I shall go for a no-light, non-flavored, basic old beer, or maybe a coffee flavored coffee. The marketing gurus have really got us.

I agree with points 2 and 3, but I find that ice cold corona with a lemon wedge in the bottle actually tastes pretty good. nice rant.

Kokanee
Moosehead,
Canadian,
Lucky are all excellent beers that do not require you to drink it with fruit or cough drops to mask the flavour and can be enjoyed.Canadians are spoiled with great beers ,but if you need a Foreign beer try one of these ,so pure ,so clean ,so nice
it is worth the airfare to Germany or at least the bus fare to the beer store

Here's my very random rant.

I cannot stress how much I dislike it when, after already having indulged in one too many "Quinnie Coolers", someone changes the "Lemon Drop" shooters for tequila shooters. I had far more fun than should be legal, and yet, it took a full 24 hours to recover.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, however facts are facts. Canadian is not an excellent beer!

Personally, for the last little while:
Been drinking mostly Steam Whistle.
Innis & Gunn as a treat.
Mill St. Organic for when I feel like a light beer (Mill St. won Canadian brewer of the year in 07, 08, 09).

And always Moosehead on camping trips (I find it tasty at higher then normal temp).

[Brewguy]

I also agree with points 2 & 3 ... but predict this thread turning primarily into a discussion on beer.

I also think corona is rat's piss.

I'll give a +1 to some of ETOPS beer choices.
Steam Whistle is nice when you're looking for a light / cold / refreshing type of beer. Creemore is nice too.

I've tried a few Mill St., and they're not bad ... but stay well clear of their flavoured beers. WTF is 'Coffee Porter' supposed to be? I'll tell you what it is - it's beer invented by crack heads. Coffee & beer are two great flavours that should never mix. If chocolate & peanut butter are on one end of the scale of 'flavours that work together', coffee & beer are at the other end.

That said, it's all swill compared to a good stout. Unfortunately, good stout isn't readily available in a lot of places - but Guinness will do in a pinch.

Having personally never drank Rats Piss, I couldn't possibly compare it to Corona. Kind of like when people say something taste like shit. Well to draw that comparison one would have had to eaten it at some point in their life to set that as a benchmark. So since we are on the topic of Beers. I'm a whore, I drink them all and each have there own distinct flavors and attributes. Kind of like women.

My favorite craft beer:



Green apple, fantastic flavour! Fresh and crisp, it really does feel like a beer commercial when you drink it.

[flyinggreasemonkey]

It's the lime that makes it taste like rat piss. Canadian is rat piss regardless of how you drink it. Corona is one of the easiest drinking and best tasting beers out there...no fruit required.

Anything Creemore is amazing too.

Stop it guys, you're making my thirsty and it's not even noon yet!

ORGANIC ketchup in a PLASTIC bottle ,it is funny once you get it.Although i may be the only one who laughed the first time i saw it in a grocery store,and yes i buy the old style in a glass bottle thank you as it tastes better and if you cannot taste the difference you probably cannot taste the plasticisers used in the plastic bottle process and the plastic crap that leech into the food from the plastics.

But my biggest beef is with the beef industry in North America .Why are they still allowed to use growth hormones that are banned in Europe.Growth Hormones that have been shown to cause cancer in Humans ?
When i asked a farmer's son(pilot) in Alberta why they fed they family that poison he said they do not eat the meat they ship to market.He only eats the meat they raise on the farm without the growth hormones in it!!!!
I called him all kinds of names and even cursed his mother for bringing such a mass murdering killer who allowed others to eat poison he would not feed his children ,the BASTARD.
He said it was economics .When i explained the real costs of feeding cancer causing agents to women and children he almost agreed .They wonder not,"why" there is a cancer epidemic in North America.

Where is my beer ?

The taste of beer inproves with its non availability. Last night, one guy here said he had a few cold Coronas left. I had one while watching the game. In this forgotten hole, in the mountains of Afm there is no alcohol!
Super! I had not had a beer in such a while!

[xsbank]

Widow, the secret is to stay out of the Quinnie - nuff said!

[Widow]

The place calls to me once a year, xsbank. Nothing I can do about it, shameful as it may be.

[Brewguy]

The taste of beer inproves with its non availability...

Well that's true enough. One of the the best bottles I ever had, was strangely enough, a Labatt 50. I usually wouldn't touch the stuff. But after spending 10 hours baking in the sun in 40 degree heat with high humidity, doing hard manual work - you don't refuse any ice cold beer that's offered.

But I class those instances as survival / emergency beer.

[iflyforpie]

Yup, Corona is piss. So is Coors and Bud. I admit I would drink Corona to look cool (when the student loan was still fresh) and gradually switch to $.25 Old Milwaukee in a plastic cup (can man survive on beer alone?) as funds dwindled.

But I'm something of a beer snob now. I will drink Kokanee, Pilsner, and Moosehead, but I will only drink Canadian if there isn't anything else and I am never desperate enough to drink Black Label or anything Labatts.

I like craft beers like Sleemans, Big Rock, Alexander Keith's, Okanagan Springs, etc.

And of course I love my imported beer ranging in the spectrum (literally and figuratively) from Warsteiner to Guinness.


Who is Lindsay Lohan?


We need a separate RCMP forum.

Got today a box of vodva, and a box of Heineken.
Unfortunately, it cost four lives...
IED attack along the way to our place, and the first car got blown up.
Did some post-trauma stuff with the survivors tonight. Vodka all the way, so they can sleep. Such is life here...

[flyinggreasemonkey]

I'll give a First Taste report for one I just tried. It's the newest one from Creemore called Kellerbier. It is INCREDIBLE...very easy drinking with a ton of flavour. Very smooth. Drinking it with BBQ pork tenderloin and cheesy broccoli rice and everything agrees nicely with it. The hops really comes through but isn't overpowering.

If I'm in the mood for a lighter beer, I'll grab a Keystone Light because I find it very refreshing. It does have a slightly bitter aftertaste, so I usually have to switch after a case or two.

[Sulako]

We were down in Savannah a little while ago and ended up at this biker bar that only served Pabst Blue Ribbon in cans - after they cracked the can open they'd punch a second hole in the side of each and every one, presumably to discourage sipping - PBR is more of a shotgun beer, if you know what I mean. It tasted like having a stroke, but hey, each one was only a dollar(!). I can't wait to go back

Sleemans and Hoegaarden are the current inhabitants of our beer fridges. Yes, fridges

Sleeman Draft practically drinks itself, and Hoegaarden is excellent when sitting in the back yard with some freshly BBQ'd meat.

I'm not much of a beer snob - I have my preferences but I'll drink whatever is offered - you know, to be polite

In reference to point #3 of the original post - If you want to filter out someone's posts, just click on their name, then in their profile page, right under their avatar, click on "add foe". Voila! You'll never see a single post by them again unless you de-foe them.

[Brown Bear]

Worst beer? Blue. Hands down strained goose snot. Nothing worse.

News Flash......the reason they put a slice of lime in Corona is to keep the Mexican flies out of the beer. Flies HATE lime.

That said, I'm a bit of a slut. If the beer is COLD, and it's FREE, I'll drink it.

Had a few very delightful evenings drinking 50 while skiing in Quebec. 50 came in quarts. The French Canadian girls came as well.

Don't much care about Lindsay Lohan either. Spoilt brat.

I've given up reading the anti-police posts. I put him on my "ignore" list.

Thanks trey kule for the thread.

Already done. I still see the topics and have to fish for anything good (religious debates, conspiracy theories, Israel-Palestine) in there.

Fifteen RCMP topics on the first page.

[Darkwing Duck]

1. Corona - Overrated, over priced, Mexican Slew water. Had a beer I found in a store called Trader Joe's in Southern California called Red Tail Hawk. Damn was that good for a Yankee beer. But American beer is like sex in a canoe, fucking close to water.
2. Lindsey who cares. Realy anything to do with a celebrity I could care less about.
3. cpl_atc has to be run off this forum, nuff said.

My rants...

vegetarians and vegans and anything associated with them. I am a Meatatarian. It is a life style choice. If you can lob the horns off of something, wipe it's ass and throw er on the grill, bring it on.

Liberal pinko-commies. I say throw em on an ice berg and hope global warming gets here faster. Maybe throw the vegetarians on there as well.

Canadian Troops in Afghanistan - leave em there. This deal about pulling out after the 2011 deadline is a crock of shit. All those Talliban, Al-Quada twirps are just going to sit and wait until we are gone, then move in and take over again. If we pulled out of WWII in Jan '45, we would all be Deutsch sprechen right about now. Think of it this way. What does it mean to those 150 Canadian Soldiers we lost, plus our allies who lost personel, if we just up and left, job not completed? If someone invaded Canada, we would want as much help from our Allies to push out our enemy and have them here until the job is done. Even though the Canadians are in some of the worst shit over there, does not mean we should back down. Lead by example so our other NATO allies will also step up to the plate and participate in the combat areas. We may be the 2nd smallest member of NATO but we sure do pack one of the the biggest punches. So write or phone your MP and DEMAND that our Canadian troops stay in Afghanistan until the mission is completed. And to any Current or past Veteran, whether Canadian or Allied, out there, I salute you. Thank you for doing what you did so we can live in the best country in the world. God Bless you all.

If you bitch, moan, whine or complain about our great nation, let me know, I will personally buy you a one way ticket to get the hell out of here. (Tropical destinations, not included, for those of you wanting to pretend. I have been on here long enough that a few of you jokers will jump at this chance.)

[MCB]

What's the difference between a jet engine and a pilot?

The jet engine stops whining when it gets to the gate

Despite what most people say, I love Corona - refreshing.

Heres my rant of the day.. driving home from work and it's 34 degrees (the OAT gauge in the car was checked) traffic is usual for 4:30 on a thursday(read: tragic) some tap out tee shirt wearing douchebag in a Kia POS.. most likely his girlfriends or his mothers as I doubt this clown could hold down a job, decides that he needs to race up past me.. cut me off to get in front only to slam on the brakes as... well.. the traffic is pretty tight and not moving at his pace. He proceeds to rides the ass of the guy in front of me and then switches lanes again. I obviously end up next to him as he has no clue how to actually drive or watch the flow of traffic.. decides to give me the 30yrd stare from behind his name brand faggy sunshades (they were massive enough) and then flip me off. Had I not been IN uniform.. when I stopped next to him at a light further up, I would have gotten out and fed the little shit a knuckle sanwhich. Maybe next time I will regardless.. and then tell em I work for westjet

Regardless

Just because you WATCH WWE or UFC.. does NOT make you a tough guy and I highly doubt you could even throw a decent right cross. Driving a Kia is like having sex with a fat chick.. it's sloppy and you look aweful when you get caught. Your mother should have taught you some manners.. but I'm guessing by her choice in mediocre automobile that she was too busy with your 3rd step daddy and too broke from the 3 packs a day she smokes. Now you'll probably go to your girlfriends... berate her for some pitiful reason and then talk shit about some "phuqin clown" in uniform that you had to prove yourself too before leaving to cheat on her for the 7th time this month.

The one moment of solace.. the guy beside me watching this.. looked at me at the next light pointed at captain d-bag and shook his head while making a lovely thumbs down. Awesome.
