There are many names for corn and the end of the world.

[evlbstrd]

I can make beer. Who's with me?

[SPKrazy]

1. corn may be the end of the world

we are using the majority of our agricultural land for growing corn

for what

HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP

the end of humankind at the hands of the corporate farm

:grr:

[evlbstrd]

3. Agreed!

And it's displacing barley, which raises the price of beer and homebrew ingredients!

[SPKrazy]

4. true

it displaces everything

it is so unbelievably over present

:hi:

[evlbstrd]

6. We will survive.

Hi back atcha!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear evlbstrd!

You can make beer?

The last time I had homemade brew, it was ale...

How does that differ from beer?

And what does corn have to do with it?

Or the end of the world, for that matter?

Hey sweetie...:hug:

[evlbstrd]

5. Beer is easy to make.

Hi, Peggy! It's been a long time, I know. Sorry about that.
You're right, most homebrews are ales. Most big commercial beers like Budweiser use corn and rice along with barley.
Good ale will help see us through the end of the world.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Oh, no worries, sweetie...

I've been busy too...

I'll drink to ale any old time!

Good to see you posting here...:hug:

[evlbstrd]

8. It's been a while.

Except for the occassional snark. I'm now a 3-time DUzy award winner, doncha know.
But I see you're continuing with photography and now exploring poetry. You're doing wonderful things!
Hoisting a pint to you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Hey, you're not the only one to have DUzies!

I have a couple of them, too...

I'm having a ball with the poetry threads...

And the occasional pic thread as well...

Thanks, sweetie!

:toast: back atcha!

[evlbstrd]

12. I'm sure they're well deserved1!11!

Be careful, those are strong ales!

[Mabus]

11. You don't just have DUzys

you are a doozy.

[evlbstrd]

13. Aaaaw...

(kicks toe in dirt)
You're my favorite demi-goddess. Shucks!

[Mabus]

16. That's demon-goddess to you.

and you're my favorite evl one.

I'd use a smilie but I know you hate them.

[evlbstrd]

17. Yes, ma'am.

smilies burn

[Mabus]

21. But they're a lot of fun

for those of us who have trouble expressing ourselves with words.

[evlbstrd]

24. I like grunts, belches and farts.

[Mabus]

26. I know. I've been to your house

and that's your usual mode of communication.

[evlbstrd]

29. And yet, you keep coming back.

[Mabus]

31. It feels like home

and reminds me of my childhood.

[Mabus]

10. You should try evl's ale some time

[evlbstrd]

14. evl's ale

Too many vowels.

[Mabus]

15. evl's l?

I could live with that.

[evlbstrd]

18. Who cares how it's spelled?

Call it br.

[Mabus]

19. Or grg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grog

[evlbstrd]

20. Vowels are so overrated.

Grg is not.

[Mabus]

22. My first thought was md

as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead but I was afraid your marketing department would get that confused with Mad Dog 20/20

[evlbstrd]

23. Hush your mouth!

evlspwn want to make md, though.

[Mabus]

25. You should let her

She's very creative and I'm sure she'd come up with something special.

btw, speaking of grog, won't you be groggy in a few hours when you have to drag your butt to the office? I'm talking at you like a mom now. GO TO BED!

besides, the Admiral told me I should wrap it up soon. He says we have a big day tomorrow and he wants me to get some sleep.

[evlbstrd]

27. pfffffffft!

OK. DU is our telephone.

[Mabus]

28. That's only because you hate talking on telephones

almost as much as you hate smilies.

btw, how did I get in the Lounge?

[evlbstrd]

30. I dragged you in.

But the drugs wore off.
I miss the ole telegraph.

[Mabus]
