so i dragged a 20 gal tank outta the shed and filled it up, we've now got a white trash public aquarium next to the front porch of our hovel, tonight. I'm thinking of charging admission... maybe a PBR a peek. hope the neighborhood cats stay away from it, there's a pickerel in there that'll drag one in pretty quickly. man- I love being a redneck. | ||
| U4euh |
Speakin of being redneck-you send that bow down this way way yet? I'd send a PBR, if I could find one down here! | ||
| Angelwild327 |

Ahhh...Thank you for the enlightenment..I'm such a city chick..hence the city cross..  | ||

It's not one of the best beers, it can't even be qualified as an "acceptable" beer. Everyone knows the only good beer comes from North of the border. | ||
| Spiderman |
Yeah north of the Ohio border, STROH'S BABY!! (yeah thee in Tx now I know but Detroit is where it came from) | ||

I'm with you EZ Whenever we go to the Vortex, most everyone gets a PBR, I get a Corona, with lime of course. | ||

I always wanted to do a big aquarium with indigenous species. I think it would be cool to have a big 100 gallon monster with, bluegills, rockbass, perch, pickerels, a crayfish (northern speak for crawdad), and an eel or two. | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
Are they making PBR again? I used to like that stuff. | ||

We used to have a Stroh's brewery up the road in Longview, TX. My neighbor retired from that brewery. It's been closed for some time now though. Pitty. Was cool having a big brewery nearby like that. I always liked Strohs, but I prefer the more meaty brews these days. Shiner Bock and Samuel Adams Boston Ale is from Canada? Anyone here ever try Chimay Ale? Really really great beer. Too pricy for me to keep in the fridge on a regular basis, but it is a great treat for special occassions.  | ||
| Johnnylunchbox |
Blake - I've never tried the Chimay, but I've seen it. Of note is that every mention of Chimay that I've ever heard has always been from a Texan. Just curious, why is that? Is their a Belgian/Texan tie that exists? Is Texas their main area of distributuion? | ||

I don't know how this thread flopped over to beer (ok I have a pretty good idea) buuuut, I had a "kivver" for a pet for about 3 years. It got nice and fat. It would eat table scraps and ANYTHING else in the tank. You can actualy have a pretty good aquarium setup with crawfish, weeds and local fish. It's fun to tell te cityfolk what kind of fish they are and how much they cost Looked it up. Kivver is a regional slang term. I think it was a pumpkinseed. http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dfwmr/fish/fishspecs/sunfitxt.html#pumpkinsee d Make sure that you quarantine feeder fish in a separate tank for a bit. I killed mine with a batch of bad shiners. | ||

blake, shiner bock is a beer that is brewed in texas. i went there for training and we went to a bar. they said that it was their local beer and it was brewed right down the road. if anyone comes to atl, try laughing skull. it is the vortex's house brew. it is one of my fav's. | ||

I love it- the last two posts mention shiner(s). nate- that's cool about the Sunny. I've kept aquariums fulla native critters a lot. I hear ya about the baitfish, though- they can really mess up a good tank. I'm about to set up a nice 20 gal. to keep some interesting stuff i drag outta the ice in. we have a 10 with a couple little snapping turtles, weeds, and usually crawdads, but ours died from a water change I did recently. i have to get back out to the good crawdad stream and get more for the tank, they keep it really clean. speaking of texas and beer, what's up with gambrinus outta texas? that's my favourite czech beer, and there's a distribution co. in texas by that name. | ||

I have a 50 gallon. I kept a large mouth bass in it for a year. Put in a dozen feeder goldfish and he made it look like a snowglobe with orange glitter. | ||

 pickerel and bass are really crazy in tanks. I've had a few little grass pickerel, the size of crayons, in a tank with many sunnies, crappies, etc., same size and bigger. one by one, all the other fish would disappear, and the pickerel would both just hover, suspended, with these "don't look at me" faces.... finally, I was down to two slightly-larger-than crayola-sized pickerel, and then there was one. I swear, to this day, that he was looking up at the sky and just whistling...... | ||

This last move I finally threw out my 3 bottles of Chimay I carried back from Belgium. Didn't think 18 year old beer was the thing to drink. Tracked some down in Maine and Amsterdam recently. | ||

Tramp, do a search on Gambrinus. Many breweries and beers were/are named after him. We had a brewery and beer named after him in the "OLD DAYS" here in Columbus, Ohio. A statue of him, like the one mentioned in the search, can still be seen here at a small park named after him. The old brewery use to sit there. It's in the Brewery District which is just south of downtown and just west of German Village. Imagine that, a brewery district just south of town (business dollars), west of German Village (brew masters), and north of a blue collar neighbourhood (Irish workers and drinkers). Who would have thought!  BTW, could we rename this thread BEER? | ||

Tramp - I am very familiar with that pickerel face. I think I coined a term sort of like poker face but "pickerel face" "Luigi SanMarzano, a mafia hitman, stood there transfixed and pickerel-faced as he introspectively ruminated the existential consequences of the aftermath from his wine-fueled vendetta." | ||

reminds me of a "The Far SIde" which was entitled, "Ineffective Methods of persuasion" A picture of a guy under a big lamp with a couple others and a big man with a holEy bat, and somebody says, "Still won't talk, eh? Maybe Rudy and his wiffle bat will help." | ||

Pickerel face... That would be kind of like a Barracuda face only smaller and cuter. Sometimes when you're snorkeling in tropical waters you get that feeling that you're being watched, you look around, and, sure enough, there's a couple of 'cudas hanging there grinning. Jack |
