Thunderbird Club

[PillO]

Yep! Crazy...

Ok, most of the family are here on the farm now. Those liquor stores are making more sense by the minute

Yeah, family is like that...

What's the alcohol content?

4.7%

 

[JJR58]

4.7%

Ok, that works.

Goddamn I love Founders

They’re pretty excellent. We have a stockpile of Blushing Monk. My wife loves it. I do, too.

When my dad died, the only reasonably functional part he had left was his liver. I consider that a genetic omen.

Any chance you have it for a backup?

Sorry that will not do. Is that 4.7% by weight or by volume?

It's called a "stunt liver" around here.

That is why you have kids - high probability of being a donor match.

A question for Canadian Bird brethren. There's an earworm I cannot get rid of. It pops up and wriggles around occasionally then has a sleep, then comes back... it is The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Do I need shooting?

WOW!!! Kat... I can't tell you how happy you've just made me!!! I thought that particular disease only affected Michiganders! I, and many of my kind, have suffered in silence, for YEARS!!! Alas... there is no cure. Like cancer (which it may be), your only hope for relief, is remission. Unlike cancer... it is guaranteed to return

 

[dukeorock]

Ok, that works.

Not quick enough it doesn’t

 

[JJR58]

Not quick enough it doesn’t

True.

 

[JJR58]

4.7. @PillO is right.........

I will save the editorializing on Chissy Hynde, but she does have a number of good songs. Just don't waste your time with her autobiography.

That song could be about the fields around where I grew up. It was beautiful. It is just suburban sprawl from Columbus now.

 

[TBird1958]

Not quick enough it doesn’t

You're killin' it!

 

[theFixer]

I think the cure can be found in a 26 ounce bottle of Crown Royal whiskey. If the problem persists than you may proceed to a therapist. Sorry for that, I certainly didnt promote it.

That must be the difference between the Canadian strain, and the Michigan strain. In Michigan... those who've attempted to treat "Fitzgerald's Disease" with alcohol, typically wind up spreading the disease to others by singing along. It's tragic, really...

 

[theFixer]

Shooting seems a tad severe

I pray you never suffer this heinous ailment...

Leaving no good parts means there is work to do. Quinta Ruban is calling. I must go.

Is the "H" silent here?

 

[theFixer]

I try very hard to refrain from unsportsmanlike conduct. I'm too full of myself as it is.
Besides, it's unbecoming behaviour coming from the main room.

... (says the most humble, selfless person I know)

 

[JJR58]

Is the "H" silent here?

So naughty...........

Since it seems a lot of this club is a discussion about alcohol love I figured I'd put in my two cents...
