Eh, that's one way to get them to sleep at night. :-)

For reference's sake, my dad used to let me sip his beers when I was that age. It explains a lot.

Good memories of sipping the foam off the Old Man's Schlitz as well. . . also explaining quite a bit.

Ha, when I was 16 I remember chugging a beer in front of my dad at my sisters wedding.

I also remember him not being too happy

Just the first of many beers shared between you though, I'm sure.

Kooky as it may sound my german grandpa allowed me to knock back a few beers at a young age. But they were proper beers, not some namby pamby see through brews that needed to be served so cold to mask the lack of flavor.

Love that approach, "if you're gonna drink, at least drink the good stuff." My eldest (6) likes to share my Warsteiner Dark and Kostrizer with me so I think he is on a good path, if that can be said for highly underaged drinking.

My grandfather also said if you can see through it, it ain't beer.

Not to be outdone, I give you Grandma Flasoxx' sage-old wisdom:

 

When the weather's hot and sticky

Ain't the time for dunkin' dicky

When the frost is on the pumpkin

THAT'S the time for dicky dunkin'!

 

Oh how often that little poem has made me laugh.

Possibly the wackiets person I knew, Grandma was.

Quirky was she?

Reminds me of the Golden Girls.

She would have fit in nicely, I guess

Time to blow up the moon.

Very soon, you will see.

Watcher lives up there, so we'd better not pi$$ him off.

 

Yikes, that was nerdy.

X words skipped again? That is the worst part of this thread.

Zany, but so true. Gus Grissom's family believes he was going to out the government lies and they whacked him.

Another off season begins.

But there's no offseason for the alphabetical conversation thread!
