It's a song about drinking philosophers. We all do a little of both on the forum so I left the original subject matter intact. If someone else wants to give a "feel good" version a shot... feel free. If anyone is offended by the honor of inclusion let me know and I'll remove you.

Most of these rules were borrowed from the person who taught me how to brew.

1: if a bottle is opened it must be finished
2: if you wish to help you start by scrubbing bottles and work your way up
3: my music will be played, and I will hear no complaints
4: brewing is enjoyable for me and to keep it that way nothing will be hurried
5: nothing is a waste, if you dont like the taste somebody else might. if not just change it.

"I drink, therefore I'm sauced."

Yeeks! I think I've used that exact phrase -- and more than once -- on chat nights!

Funny stuff, WW!

Rule 6. There is no Rule 6.

A Monty Python fan if ever I saw one, but rule #4 should have been "I don't want to catch anybody not drinking." And now for something completely different...

The Meadmakers Song (adapted for GotMeads highest posting members with apologies to Monty Python and Norskersword who got bumped by the ever missing ThirstyViking... artistic license dude! ;) )

Pewter in a rant is a real piss-ant who is very rarely stable.
Brewbear, Brewbear is a boozy beggar who can think you under the table.
Dmntd claims to out-consume even Oskaar when he's tricksy.
And Jmattioli is a meady swine who is just as sloshed as Vicky.
There's nothing McFeely couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Byathread, himself, is permanently pissed.
David Baldwin still, of his own free will, after half a pint of Sack is particularly ill.
Wrathwilde, they say, can stick it away, half a crate of Acerglyn every day!
Mynx and Jab are buggers for the bottle,
and Miriam is fond of sheychar dvash.
Lostnbronx is a drunken Ox:
"I drink, therefore I'm sauced."
Yes, ThirstyViking himself is particularly missed;
JoeM's a lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

Right, now let's get some Sheilas.

Wrathwilde
Hey Wrath,
I resemble that remark!
Who told??????

Cheers,
Brewbear

offended? eh? i thought it was pretty obviously some light-hearted fun.

Thanks for the unbiased feedback Abejita, that's how it was meant. I was just following up on the Monty Python references from Alden. We're all "Stand Up Philosophers" here at GotMead so I thought it fitting. Unfortunately you didn't make the cut... but you've made it to #38 in the post count so you're gaining quick. I decided instead of playing favorites that post count would be the deciding factor on who got mentioned. I was pretty sure you and Scout would have been honored had you been included... as well as a # of Python fans on the forum I could name. Bump up the post count and I'll try to work you in next time I'm attacked with some inspired lunacy... you too Scout.

WW - "Bring out your dead..." ;)

In honor of you, I've updated my tag line... always loved that song.

The bottle drying tree does just that: It dries bottles. Drying clothes on it is not a good idea.

Amendment to this rule, because apparently it wasn't clear enough for some family members:

"Socks are not to be hung either. No, I didn't hang socks on it, I hung grain bags on it. No, grain bags are not socks. I don't care if you think they look like socks, the fact remains that they are grain bags. Jeesh." ::)

I'm surprised... I thought someone would recognize or comment on "Stand Up Philosopher" being from a Mel Brooks film. Anyone familiar with what a stand up philosopher is?

If anyone is not sure, I believe you can catch his act at Caesar's later this afternoon ;)

By the way Mouko, I am not quite sure what you mean by "I haven't seen much Python". Do you mean you have only watched the episodes 10 times each? Or 15? Completely confused here.
