Awards.... I was given the "Most Flights of the Year" award from a company, then they fired me a month later.... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

LOL. I suppose since it was the 90s I can mention vaguely that I was dragged into a management meeting once where an employee was about to receive an customer appreciation award the week their bosses were going to terminate him.

Not my staff member and none of my staff even qualified to compete for that award anyway. Never should have been invited and I made it pretty clear I shouldn't be there that day, too.

Helped that they'd pretended it was all hush-hush and I had to drive across town to HQ in lunchtime stop and go traffic from our other location and missed lunch completely because of it. I was mildly miffed before the meeting even started.

Once they told us why we were there, three of us middle managers stated that the topic of the meeting was truly none of our business, and we'd be going back to work if they didn't have anything else for us. We went to lunch across the street and called it a day.

I was given a letter of appreciation from my department when I was in the Navy many moons ago. The Department Head while shaking my hand and after the picture was taken said that I didn't deserve it. That stung.

I remember when you couldn't get it in the east. When I was in the Air Force anyone going to one of the Colorado bases qould have orders to bring some back. Meh to me, it wasn't a great beer. Now PBR..... :popcorn: :D

Hey after you've been exposed to Korean beer, well, anything other than that is good. I drink anything, but PBR mostly. Like Dos Equis, Modelo, Yueling, German beers. Fat Tire a good one too.

I fell for the Coors hype. We had to drive three hours to get it, and we went there on a rumor. We bought, drove three hours home, put it on ice and the next night we were expecting the greatest beer ever.

After the first taste, we all looked at each other and laughed. It was the most watered down drink ever since straight water.

I just don't drink beer anymore. It just doesn't have the taste or alcohol content that beer had 30-40 years ago. Now its all light and diet served with fruit and comes in vagina shaped glasses....
 
Coors and Bud smell so skunky and nasty when you first open the bottle or can. When you actually start drinking it, it's...barely tolerable.

I don't often drink beer, but when I do it's Stella Artois or Corona. :)

LOL. Back when Coors actually made money for this state, we all thought it was pretty funny anyone drank it at all.

Dad used to take cases of Coors when he would head for anywhere else in the Navy and trade them 2:1 for more beer.

Yes but there's a method to that madness. If you keep Miller Lite in your fridge and you like it, nobody ever takes you up on your offer of a beer. More for you.

LOL!

Coors however was never anything anyone around here drank much, we just exported it.

The real money was made over at the Coors porcelain plant anyway.
 
@denverpilot The majority of people don't like the beer I drink and for those who do, I'll gladly share one of my brews with them. I like dark beers that usually cruise from 8.5% to 10.5% alcohol. It feels like you've eaten a meal when you are done. And when I have a bomber in the fridge, I always share with a friend. That's too big of a beer for my 125 lbs. body.

Not light, not diet, maybe some with fruit. I'm not sure cause I don't drink it. Too strong.

I started really using a checking account at the beginning of the debit card revolution. I remember writing checks at the grocery store but I think I had only reordered checks once in my life. I know, I'm young.

Ever since Congress passed the e-check laws several years ago paper checks became one of the most vulnerable ways to make purchases. At least with credit cards the company is on the hook for fraud and not you. And my cards give me 2%-5% cash back on everything I buy whereas I have to actually spend money on paper checks.

You're not on the hook for check fraud. Where do these silly ideas come from?

True. But you are still more vulnerable from check fraud than credit card fraud, at least over the short term.

Miller Lite and Coors gave me the worst headache... Little Kings Cream Ale, Mickey's Big Mouth... now we're talking.

Oh my! I haven't heard anyone talk about mickeys in many moons. Good memories of those little beauties.
 
Loud mouth *******s at dinner! Was out of town for a meeting the last couple days. Went down to the nice steakhouse restaurant in the hotel and the table next to us was occupied by seven older gentlemen. One was well into a drunk session and had no decency whatsoever. Every other word out of his mouth was a four letter, his pals were no better and since the drunk was yelling the rest of them had to as well. My steak cost $36, I was a bit ****ed that I had to endure these clowns. Nice place, nice food and they could care less that everyone else in the place had to listen to these loud mouthed *******s. I let the waitress know and she tried to quiet them but all they did was order more beer. I let the manager know when I paid, as did the others I was with. When we came down for coffee/breakfast this morning, themanager comped our meals since they had so many complaints about those *******s.

Rant over!

My parents used to only drink Miller golden light because they figured out that I wouldn't drink it.

I remember a good story, I was maybe 14 or 15 and had a bunch of friends over, we were drinking beer and whatever else we had. Someone had brought a pack of zima, well my parents came home and discovered us having a nice time! My father looked down and saw a zima bottle sticking out from under the couch, he picked it up and then proceeded to yell at us for drinking "queer beer"! We were scared ****less until he mentioned the zima. I still chuckle about it.

Hey I'm in ALabama, SWEET TEA baby! Nevah even tried Mike's. But I used to drink Hamms from your home state in MN when I was stationed in Korea. Of course all the selection we had over there was Hamms and Olympia, and local Korean shet. But I drink just about any beer, from light beers to darker beers.

Holy cow! Haven't heard a mention of hamms in ages! And btw, my home state is the big sky country, not the Land of 10000 lakes.
 
Beer.

My father usually had Olympia on hand. Perhaps because our surname is Olivier.

In college I kept Miller High Life on hand. My room mate's cousins would come over and start drinking them, always saying they were crap. Then I run out of beer and say "you must really like crap!" So they go to the store and buy Budweiser.

Every weekend, wash, rinse, repeat. I think Chewy still owes me 6 cases of High Life.
 
When u arrive at your gym and the parking lot is FULL, not because there are a lot of health conscious people trying to sweat on a Saturday evening, but because there is some clown singing in the next arena and it's just fine to overflood the gym parking lot.... I am typing this from the parking lot, waiting to find a space to park ...

Pet peeve- WOMEN !! My wife is insane! What in the hell is going through their heads?

I always tell her that there is a reason women didn't design the Saturn 5 rockets or the space shuttle, because after they got done decorating the thing with drapes, flooring, picture frames and decorative towels it would never get off the ground! Ha ha
