We are fortunate that there is no event scheduled in our room at Rock Bottom on Saturday night. Please indicate to Joe your preference/willingness to judge a 3rd flight on Saturday, if necessary, to perhaps avoid Sunday. Also, be sure you do/already have indicated the sessions you can judge or we may incorrectly assume you will be present for all. Judging will commence at 7 p.m. on Friday and at 9 a.m. on Saturday. ~jcs -----Original Message----- From: Roger Deschner [mailto:rogerd@UIC.EDU] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 11:28 AM To: CBS-HB(a)LISTSERV.UIC.EDU Subject: Calling ALL Midwestern beer judges!

PubCrawl Ticket

by Ryan Sinn

I have a sad announcement to make: One of the people in my pubcrawl crew just notified me today of a scheduling conflict on April 20th. He will be unable to attend the event and would like to sell off his ticket. He is giving up this great opportunity to drink beer to be a coach at the special olympic being held that day. I thought I'd throw that in for sympathy. If anybody is interested in his ticket, please email or call me ASAP. Thanks, Ryan -- ------------------------------------------ Ryan Sinn Wizard Technologies Web and Networking Solutions ------------------------------------------ office : 763.783.5721 e-mail : ryan(a)wizardtechnologies.net url : http://wizardtechnologies.net/ ------------------------------------------

Re: Quotes

by Roger Deschner

Most of these came from a priceless but little-known source of beer quotes, "Michael Jackson's Little Book of Beer", which also contains the well-known such as: "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy." - Benjamin Franklin to the less known such as: Bartender: "Can I draw you a beer, Norm?" Norm: "No. I know what they look like. Just pour me one." - TV show Cheers and the well-known but of forgotten source: "You can never buy beer; you just rent it." - ARCHIE BUNKER and the very, very, very, very old: "Beer he drank - seven goblets. His spirit was loosened. He became hillarious. His heart was glad and his face shone." - from "The Epic of Gilgamesh", 3,000 BC (5,000 years ago), the world's oldest narrative tale, from Mesopotamia. to finally, the way I feel this morning: "I'd hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that's as good as you're going to feel all day." - Dean Martin I keep the book next to my computer, for whenever I need a good beer quote. It is also a valuable reference for getting the right wording and source of many of the oft-misused beer quotes, since MJ's editors researched it all.
