Approaching meekly, eyes turned to the floor, Robert hands the cricket bat to Lou, still dripping with suds and explains " I borrowed it to stir the vat of wort!
I say let the man in!

Thanks much everyone!!!!Allright then....since I'm getting this round, let me see: Capt Sopwith, here you are....since you are likely the youngest, I gave you an amount that probably is appropriate: JUST KIDDIN'!Ha ha, it seems MFair is more interested in spanking...haven't had this much trepidation since my fraternity days...looks like ol' Robert_Wiggins is an enabler....but not after the homebrew is taken care of! I know RAF_Louvert can't be here (I wish him well!), but in a previous thread he said he would like "Tullamore Dew in my next cup of coffee "... ...and Dezh would like a double Cragganmore no water (ooh that one might burn a bit )... Banjoman chimed in with a "si".... ...and HumanDrone....probably out droning or something, but earlier he wanted a Guinness ...and to everyone else (Ace_Pilto, I didn't get your order ): (yes, the faces of the innocent were blotted out!) Regards, and thanks! Jeff

Guinness, Cragganmore, Lagavulin...
As my grandfather (2 Kings Own Scottish Borderers and 7/8 KOSB, 1915-1918) would have said, "Aye, I'll cast a vote for the new lad. Jes' a wee dram. Not too much. Ach, ye'll sell mair whuskey if ye fill the glass, man. Aye there's the stuff take feed the troops. Gaes roon' yer hayrt like a hairy wurrum."
Welcome aboard. Robert, lay on!

@HumanDrone....you sound like I looked in RL when I drank a fifth of peppermint schnapps in one sitting many years ago...that did not end well for me, lol @Robert_Wiggins...thanks sir!: Your ability to find a picture of a drink named Banjo means, at least to me, that you were born to be a member of the BOC. Thanks Banjoman! Glad you approve Guinness, Cragganmore, Lagavulin...

Sheesh, Raine that's some mighty fine Scottish! Love it!
Jeff, I'm as pretend a drunk as can be. Only once in my life was I even close to being drunk, and i didn't like it. And well I recall a fellow in college who did what you did, and when I say it wasn't pretty, I mean the kid could've freakin' died, and we were too stupid to realize it. Thank God he didn't. We were in a hotel on an ROTC base visit. He was bunking with me and he'd had substances coming from every orifice in various places around the room throughout the night. So the next morning I let him sleep as long as I could, then I went up to the room, and woke him up by pounding on the hollow metal door like I was going to go through it. Sweet, merciful type, that's me! Or at least 17 year old me!
I'm such a non-drinker I thought I'd have to avow my Irish heritage! But then I found that I like a good, fresh Guinness, and so managed to keep my Irish pride!
Best,
Tom

Best,
Tom I hear ya Tom and admire your non-drunkenness! Well, I've had my moments....the peppermint schnapps was a college adventure, and when I studied in England, I tell you EVERYONE I met drank, and many drank a lot. Heck, they have bars in each of the dorms (they call them "Colleges"), and the profs join right in with the students (well this was in the 1990s). And well now I'm a family man and busy with five kids on top of what I do for a career (a long story, but lets say for now that I am very active in my community and run many programs)...also, the culture here in southern Wisconsin is rather alcohol-heavy in my opinion, but my wife and I do not drink nearly as much as many others I know. I drink responsibly and never drive when I've even had just one, etc., blah, etc. But I will say, in real life, I will occasionally get one of these to mix with my Coca-cola: ...it's one of those 50ml "Nips"....once I've had one of those, it is enough for me! Regards, Jeff

I tend to stay off the hard stuff, the MP's and I are on a first name basis after the last few leaves. Make mine tall cold and frosty will you and welcome to the club.
Let's pretend I got the BWOC badge to embed here.

A Now here's a man that knows how to spread cheer!! May I be the fist to say Welcome to the BWOC. I'll have 2 fingers of Lagavulin neat please. Robert, I need to try this drink of yours. I've been intrigued by it since I saw Ron Swanson enjoying it on Parks and Rec... Ah, it's very smooth with a strong peaty note. Especially enjoyable in the winter months and particularly goes well following a cup oh hot Lapsang Sou Chong Chinese black tea. I would say of both of them, you either thoroughly will enjoy it or never come back to it again!! Aging palates find it more enjoyable. A splash of water in the Lagavulin really brings out the flavour. Cheers

As the only BWOC official, in the absence of our much-missed Lou and Olham, I hereby declare (and I'm here by de bar ahead of the stampede) that Jeff is now a member of the Barmy Offers Club.
Mine's a double Cragganmore with no water mind ye. Robert you may do the honours with the bat WHEN I've got my drink out of the way.
BTW MFair, those questions are entirely the wrong way around for a BOC member... you should always start with 'Where's my drink!'
Let drinking commence continue.
Dej Ok Dej' let's see if I can rectify my situation. "I have my drink. I'm ready for my spanking, here is the bat!" Must remember the unwritten rules!

Lagavulin:
Founded in 1816 on the island of Islay, Lagavulin was originally part of two distilleries constructed by John Jonston and Archibald Campbell. One distillery closed, and Lagavulin took over its buildings. The name comes from the Gaelic Lag a’ Mhuilinn, meaning “hollow of the mill.” Prior to the early 19th century, the area was home to countless illicit whisky moonshiners and other nefarious characters.

Folks; Being somewhat of a Single Malt aficionado I had a thought... If somehow I was able to merge RAF_Louvert's WWI library with my Single Malt Scotch collection we would have a fabulous library to relax and research in. What a place it would make for a BWOC meeting!
