Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

[Uncle Sam]

Yes.

Yeah, urns to skulls, in the same vein as #boots2asses.

That's a relief, I thought I was being too subtle.

I officially love America's tipping policy. I work as a barman in a hotel doing weddings at the weekends when im not at college. Usually ill make about 10 euro on a good night in tips from Irish people. Well Friday night there was an American guy at the wedding who tipped me 50 freaking euro throughout the night, safe to say the tight irish bastards had to wait to be served whenever he wanted a drink that night.

This week in college i live like a king!

Also are metal credit cards common in America? I couldn't believe the weight of his card when he went to pay for his drinks.

First we brought the world democracy (fuck you ancient Greece) and now tipping? We truly are the greatest country in the world!

This clip from 30 Rock should answer your question.

Yep. Sorry about my shit cropping skills.

My girlfriend got me a free ticket to go see Neon Trees April 12th. She said it is part of my birthday, which is nice, except I have never intentionally listened to these people in my life. I did learn that I know two of their songs because of commercials, but now I feel like I have to do work.

She bought you tickets to see a band you don't even like? That's kinda weird.

Her and her roommate had planned on going since before I met her, but she bought me the ticket so I could tag along.

So she bought you a ticket to a band she wants to see for your birthday... well alrighty then.

For her birthday -buy a hooker & that way your girl can tag along this time. This could work out in your favor.

You've definitely got something here.

 

[JGlass]

Yes, but if she didn't buy you a ticket then you would have gotten the even greater gift of not having to go to a concert of a band you don't know!

 

[Барбоса]

Get a good few beers in you before and during the show and it will not matter who is playing.

I'm not sure I agree with that. If you're buzzed and at a show for a band that you're not all that fond of, the music is going to start to get on your nerves after a while.

 

[Miko]

Barbosa is Irish, his definition of "a good few beers" is probably somewhere in the gallons.

 

[Dirk]

I'm reading "bought me a ticket to a concert" and "birthday" and "moan", but all I'm thinking is "birthday road-head"...

If my last night on the drink is anything to go by, this is exactly right as there are 8 imperial pints in the imperial gallon.

And I had 8 pints before dinner.

Road head terrifies me. Too many factors that could combine to result in an extraordinarily unpleasant injury.

For both people involved.

I have never seen the appeal either. The entire point of a BJ is to be able to relax and enjoy yourself. fuckin hello.

Though I did recive a thumbs up from an old guy on a harley one time while getting road head. but still. not my thing.

Do Americans really drink those small pints with that weak as piss beer?

I ask because I had an American friend who always used to brag about how much he could drink, as you do when your 18, but he ended up face down in the toilet pretty quick and couldnt believe the strength and volume thats the norm over here.

Methinks if thats the case 8 pints before dinner can be undermined in transatlantic translation.

 

[Барбоса]

I have found that some Americans talk about having had "15 beers" they are usually talking about 15 bottles, many of which are between 250-350ml. Also I doubt if the imperial pint (568ml) equates to the American glass of beer, which from my experience is usually 500ml. Although I do remember getting proper pints in Salt Lake City of all places so I am guessing it varies a lot from state to state, county to county, city to city, bar to bar.

As for the strength of American beer, I think they get a bad rep because the more famous ones are rather weak but with all the micro-breweries all over the place, you could definitely end up on your arse very quickly after slamming some strong stuff into you.

My 8 pints before dinner would have been about 1.2 US gallons.

The beer in Utah is all watered down because they have limits on the amount of alcohol any one drink can contain. They probably gave you a "proper pint" because it would have contained just as much alcohol as a regular American pint.

Mormons.

Thank you! Everybody assumes we all drink Bud Lite and Miller Lite with the occasional Coors Lite, but we have some damn good beers here too.

Have you enjoyed a Harpoon brew in your various trips to Boston, Barbosa? I much prefer Harpoon to Sam Adams.

 

[Miko]

Sounds reasonable enough. I dont really understand the culture of drink the strongest and the most anymore, once I was like that but these days I almost envy people that cant take their drink, plus I like to actually remember the previous day, although sometimes thats worse. Unless elbow dropping jackets is involved.

I really thought they teased a Cena heel turn last night, I know the idea of him turning is a new thought on here, but he sounded just like Austin in the WM17 build up. Less cursing though.

I also said that last year.

Some of those "Mormons" tried to get me drunk off my arse in rather quick order. Having been drinking Bud Ice all day - it was cheap and cold (the weather was drastically hot and humid) - I was given a free cocktail that would have made an Irishman blush. 7 US measures (which equates to 5 Irish measures) in one glass with just a little bit of ice...

Didn't taste like there was alcohol in it at all... very dangerous. Naturally, I had two of them. Hey, they were free.

I think such "lite" beers have a bad rep too. There are perfectly acceptable times to enjoy it, like the aforementioned hot, humid day or standing around a BBQ.

For such reasons, I always have a box of Coors Light in the house.

Have you enjoyed a Harpoon brew in your various trips to Boston, Barbosa? I much prefer Harpoon to Sam Adams.

Never had the chance, primarily because I have never been in Boston without a group of 50+ school kids in tow so drinking is a no-no.

I do enjoy Sam Adams Winter though. Far more substance to it than its lighter, clearer brother.

I have never bought into the "how much can I drink" idea of a night out. I have always gone out to have a few drinks with my friends and if it so happens that I end up imbibing (my favourite word at the moment) a skinful, then so be it.

It does help that I can actually drink a lot and that my friends, who would be the kind to go out just to get wrote of, know it.

I am also lucky that no matter how much I drink, I do not forget what happened the night before - hence my occasional nickname of the "Chronicler."

Yeah man, I understand that too. I've been taking it slower as of late when it comes to drinking, but American drinking culture is one that where, if you're going to make drinking the main activity for a night, the goal is to get drunk.

I really thought they teased a Cena heel turn last night, I know the idea of him turning is a new thought on here, but he sounded just like Austin in the WM17 build up. Less cursing though.

Agreed. In fact, if Cena loses at WrestleMania (which now seems more possible than ever), I can't imagine him not turning heel. The only problem with that is that the WWE is further away than ever of having somebody that can realistically pick up the top face mantel.

When I said Mormons, I meant that those alcohol limit laws are there because of how predominantly Mormon Utah is. It's the same reason that pornography and gambling are illegal in Utah.

Do you remember what it was?

Agreed. My point wasn't that lite beers are bad, but that Europeans tend to be snobby towards American beer because lite beer dominates US advertising for alcoholic beverages.

If I'm drinking a light beer I prefer Miller Lite myself.

Never had the chance, primarily because I have never been in Boston without a group of 50+ school kids in tow so drinking is a no-no.

I do enjoy Sam Adams Winter though. Far more substance to it than its lighter, clearer brother.

Most of Sam Adams seasonal brews have some sort of fruit taste to them, and I hate that in a beer. I also don't like their Boston Lager at all.

Harpoon, on the other hand, makes a great Hefeweizen called UFO that I love. One of my favorite beers.
