Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss And you though Switzerland was neutral

Good point, bbjr. How about a wino in the pantry?

I don't know about finding a rhino in Texas, but I have no doubt I can round you up a real prize wino. Shipping extra of course. Here is a thought, keep him in your wine cellar (all Californians have wine cellars, right)

you bet heybud......

No wine cellar here. I don't know squat about wines, that more of DIED's department. (I pretty much just drink what he is serving).

I think the whole Whinoceros World idea is dead. No investors, insurance agent didn't like the idea of people throwing water ballons at Rhinos, can't seem to find any Rhinos at any reasonable prices, too many permits required to buy and own a Rhino, and I'm finding winos are too high maintenance.

Back to square one. I still have some other ideas. I was thinking about a new reality based game show called "Swim for your Life." You see I would stock my pond with Alligators......

somebody was supposed to laugh at my wine cellar...

its actually a closet if you didnt notice.

did you ever think of keeping winos in the closet?

i'm not very funny this morning am i?

It will meet my approval rating as long as the beer fridge is in the other half of the closet.

that little blue bag (one of three) is full of hand brewed beer called stuff like "axe pickin stout" and "miner's scotch ale"............how does that work?

I like what I'm hearing, but unless you drink that stuff at room temperature, I'm going to need more information!

I actually homebrew a few beers myself - nice wine closet by the way D.I.E.D. - and room temperature is where a lot of those brews have their best flavor. I know I am biased because I drank many pints of German beer in the late 80's early 90's while working for the governement (army) but believe me when I tell you bone chilling cold is where lagers belong, good ales should be served at what is called "cellar temperature." I agree a cold Bud/Miller/Coors is refreshing, but a hand crafted ale is more flavorful at around 50 degrees. Too cold will reduce flavor and aroma that was meant to be enjoyed.

That maybe a closet DIED but you have the most extensive wine collection of anyone I know.

Sunil, Dave has a beer fridge as well and always has a selection of various types of beer.

JoeG, I have a friend that used to microbrew. Some of his stuff was great, some not so much, all of it got drank. Funny how that works.

It's like that other saying about...ummm, lets say fish, even the worst fish I ever had was good. It is funny how even the less than perfect batches of homebrew get consumed. I have made some brews that folks called great and some that people say are O.K., we all know that means crappy. I have to start brewing a few batches for the fall here, it's time since temps started to stabilize, hot weather is hard to make good beer in.
