    My Brothers,

    I come to you this evening worried about the future of man. While scanning through some threads over the last month or so I have noticed an alarming rise in metro related activities. From "Joe The Salad Munching Pork Shunning Plumber", The laser hair removal thread to Dusty87 the urine swilling b*d drinker (although I'd say even the Metro wouldn't lower themselves to drinking b*d)

    I know that many of the brothers are thinking the very same disparaging thoughts that have been running through my head these past few days: "If even the haven of manliness that is the BGRH forum can be tainted by such people, the human race is surely destined to merge into one hair gel loving, cocktail sipping, skirt wearing, emotionally confused, hairless hermaphrodite! But, my brothers, there is hope!

    I propose a BGRH encyclopedia of knowledge (or Beeropedia for short). A fountain of manly wisdom, where the confused can come with questions and be set straight on all kinds of issues.

    Drinking Issues:
    Question: I've just got into this great new bar with my chums, what cocktail should I order? Hopefully I won't spill it when I'm dancing!
    Answer: While many people would put you down as a lost cause, BGRH has a step by step guide to returning you to manhood:
    1. Chums? CHUMS?:mad: You don't have chums, you have friends or if you want to be more effectionate (I don't recommend this in your case as your fairly far gone) "Assholes who you hang around with"
    2. Order a pint. If they don't do measure of pints or above this is not the bar for you
    3. Men don't dance! I blame your father, he should have explained this to you when you were a child
    4. If you have to queue to get into a bar, move on it isn't worth it

    Question: I like Budweiser. Is there something wrong with me?
    Answer: Yes, there is something seriously wrong with you. The only guaranteed solution to your disorder is to go east and taste pure beer. My personal preference is Bavaria where they have laws about what can be classified as beer. There you will soon find out just how sick and twisted you really are

    Wimmin Issues:
    Question: My woman (catch all for gf/wife etc) says I'm too hairy and should go get my chest waxed. Is this a good idea?
    Answer: Wimmin are tricky and say lots of things, often to test your manliness. Pay no heed and she will love you more for it! On a side note, you may not understand this word "love". Don't worry this is a good thing as no man does. Tests have shown that it has some relationship with food & sex. The more your woman loves you the more you get.

    Question:I'm in the pub drinking with my mates. My woman has just rung me to ask me where I am and when I'll be home. What should I say?
    Answer: This brings up a very important rule - *Never answer a direct question posed by any woman. Remember they are tricky and it will only lead to a "talk"*
    In this particular situation I would recommend hanging up your phone and then turning it off. This makes it look like your battery is dead leaving you to happily drink away deep into the night. If you need to order a Chinese at the end of the night use a friends phone. Any "repercussions" for turning off your phone are usually dealt with in the hazy part of the hangover when you don't really know what's going on.

    Destination Issues:
    Question:I'm lost! Maybe I should ask for directions
    Answer: Your not lost. You are misplaced. If your woman is with you she will think less of you if you can't reach your destination alone. You have an innate sense of direction built into yourself, trust yourself and you will eventually find destination. If your woman suggests stopping and asking for directions, she is merely testing you. Remember they are tricky!

    Question: I'm going to a wedding today and I'm planning and get hammered on some good beer. It's a lovely sunny day, should I wear my black suit or should I wear my white linen suit?
    Answer:What are you doing with a white suit!!?:eek: All your suits should be in two colours - grey & black. If you want to be flash get some fancy coloured lining. I would have recommended a grey suit but if you don't have one wear the black.

    General Issues:
    Question: What's a mauve?
    Answer: I have no idea! My guess would be some kind of animal:confused:


    What say you?

    What say you?

    I say excellent idea.

    Dietary issuesQuestion: What is a canapé?
    Answer: A figment of your imagination.

    Question: How many calories in a beer?
    Answer: Who cares

    Question: Is vegetarian food actually more healthy?
    Answer: If you are a farm animal, destined for either a sandwich, or a plate, then yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭LostinBlanch


    Hmmmm what about certain peoples asking questions like Would you consider yourself healthy and then publicy outing themselves :eek: as

    eating 4 portions of fruit and veg a day.
    rarely eating chips/fried foods
    only drinking about 8 pints of beer a week.

    Good thing no one from here is involved in that kind of thing, no sirree. :P

    Hmmm this makes for very disturbing reading. Well lets make a hypothetical situation where a brother of BGRH leads a secret healthy lifestyle. Now lets call this person T Dunne.... no thats to obvious how about Tom D.

    Rather then shunning the salad eater, he should be enticed back into the fold. We should PM a barage of pork & beer based advertisements and pictures to him until he sees the light and renounces his evil ways!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭LostinBlanch


    I see where you're coming from. If you search back through threads we went through this with saladboy last year. It didn't quite work as he slipped back to his evi disgusti veggie ways.

    Still it may be worth an intervention or something.

    First off post is good.

    But i have done and do drink Bavaria, the silver and green cans, not the cheap ass blue ones. I dont drink just one beer like. As with most small locals there isnt a great selection of beers on tap. When i go to town its not bud. The guiness in the local is piss and im not going to drink out of a long neck bottle unless theres nothing else. Were not all blessed with a town on our doorstep, Even in the town theres only a few places where you would get bavaria on tap. Were not all made of money to get a taxi to town and back every single night so dont knock people for making do with whats available.:):)

    Once you can sit in your favorite chair in front of a television with a cold one and comment on the proceedings, then sir you are indeed a sportsman.

    Alternatively you could remind the nay sayers that there are in fact just three sports namely hunting , shooting and fishing. All the rest are mere games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 349 ✭✭Seraphicblue


    and childrens games at that.

    Hold on a second I'm confused about your first question. Have they bought you a pint with consulting you on your preference or are they offering you some of their pint??:eek: Both are equally as bad! A true friend may well know your preferred drink but will always confirm this before heading to the bar, it's just good manners. If they offered you some of their pint, you need to heed brother Smashey advice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,250 ✭✭✭✭Iwasfrozen


    Alas no, I was at my friends house we where just hanging out when my friend gose to his fridge and takes out a Six-Pack of BUD!!! Not wanting to be impolite I choked it down.
    What should I do to advoid situations like this again ?/What should I have done when he toke it out of the fridge ?

    My instinct would be to run. No hesitation, no explanation - just run.

    Click your heels three times and say "there is no bud but buvar, bud but buvar, bud but buvar ":p

    But if you wanted to save a soul you could try to defuse the situation by asking if he was doing that for a bet or for charity. Even heretics are given a last chance to recant before the auto de fete.
