Quick question for you all:
What makes Belgian Trappiste Ale so much better than every other beer? Do the monks bless it somehow?

We asked them, but they aren't talking.

get out the thumb screws.

/The inquisiiiiition, what a show!

the yeast
the hops
the control
the water
the knowledge
the vats
the duval

No forget all that shiat, it's God. Jesus stops by and does the Wedding at Cana thing to every keg.

(and happy pbirthday pdrake!)

pdrake: the duval

this. What is this? Monk musk?

duval means, "devil".

Done with the Belgians. Done with the stouts. Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a delicious IPA up here, so I I knew I was spoiled when I got tired of those, too. Wheats? Yeah, if it's summer and i just cut the grass, I guess.

It's all about the scotch now. I'd probably drink cow piss if you told me it came from Islay.

thanks, zorgon.

That means you're old, soupie. NTTAWWT.

pdrake: duval means, "devil".

Yeah, I saw that on the wikipedias. They spelled it Duvel though. Anyhoo, if that's what makes it taste so good, then I pretty much worship the devil.

Now THIS is some good beer & IIRC it originally was made bby monks:

St. Peter's Brewery, Suffolk, UK (new window)

Among other things, they make the best gluten-free beer I've ever drank hands-down (and I don't normally drink in that position.)

AT-AT Dog wants bantha steak!

That's about the only way to make a Whippet even vaguely menacing.

The year's first snowfall. The contractor I work for has scored another $1.5Bn in jobs

16 months on this stupid job and my spleen is about to rupture.

Hey, who moved the hot tub?

I'M SORRY. OKAY?!?! All right, fine, I'll switch to a better brand of condoms. SHEESH.

Put that thing in a bacon cup and I'd be there with ya.

Shake it, baby! (new window)

Hi; newbie here...

I am curious about whether or not there are many farkers out there who access fark/internet almost exclusively via phone (I am android, and so can you).

The version of fark, and of many websites, that are designed (usually automatically) specifically for mobile access, leave something to be desired.

Any mobile farkers out there?

/even if you are otherwise immobile
//especially if you are upwardly technically mobile
///fark away!

skink: Nope. Plain old desktop Farker, here. Although, I did get all kinky and Fark on the back porch, earlier, via laptop and wireless internet connection. Got to spice up your Farking when you can!

/Farking in my bedroom right now

Most of my (always wireless) farking (on my tiny phone screen) happens on the back porch, which is also where I sleep (to rest my tired eyes).

Stormneedle: You don't seriously expect to get a representative sampling in here, do you? No, don't go over to the potted plant to sit...

Well, at least you keep your phone in your shirt.

Mike and other admins come in here and he might be able to guess based on the users hitting the m.fark.com subdomain, or the user-agent string. Getting a real answer out of him might take a bit of persuading since that's corporate info and usually jealously guarded.

Thanks for the reply ;)
I figured I would just start asking around for people with whom I share the mobile thang. No need to bug techs over it.

It's gettin cool out here now, time for hot coffee and feline foot warmers!

skink: some.old.lady.: Most of my (always wireless) farking

Also, welcome to the Forum. Some days in here are quiet and slow, it livens up now and then. If anyone is surly, it is because we get a lot of wow and flutter from lost or troublesome Farkers. You, however, seem to know how to make an entrance.

Hey, skink, thanks for talking back! (read my reply to stormneedle, too). Thanks for the compliment, it matters to me.

Okay, now I really am going in to make the coffee. Brrr.

Damn. I got fooled again.
