And one helluva hangover.

Pffff, I am gonna wake up at 7:30 just like every day completely refreshed. I drink about 4 beers every night.

Aaaaaand I just woke up, the birds are singing, the sun is, um, trying to shine, and everything is beautiful. :3

Alcohol Dehydrogenase... My liver has it.

No offense (I care about ya) but with as much alcohol as you consume, I hope it continues to be there.

*hugs tight*

Thanks, I got my eye on it. I haven't had a "Drunk" night for a long time. I put my days of black outs and throwing up behind me. Rather than just drinking whatever is cheap I brew my beer and drink it with the pride of a craftsman. *Hugs back*

Ooh, awesome.

I brewed...once, but found I can't drink my own brews - and being broke I had to sell my equipment.

I came up with the idea of using certain mushrooms in place of hops in beer. Hops is used because of their antimicrobial properties which just also happens to cause a bitter taste. Mushrooms have antimicrobial properties and some have a bitter taste. Can't wait to get brewing equipment again and try it.

When I can (doctor's orders, no alcohol) I like to drink really good brews, including some micros. My favorite is still Deschutes' "The Abyss." I also like anything Unibroue out of Quebec makes.

Interesting... I myself know full well of the antimicrobial properties of various polypores... I suppose you would have to establish whether or not it kills yeast as well. There are a number of other herbs that can be substituted for hops. Mugwort VERY common roadside weed, alehoof aka ground ivy aka gill over the ground which is a common lawn weed, yarrow which as long as you don't mistake it for poison hemlock is great. I learned to tell these common plants apart when I was 9, yarrow being the first herb I ever learned about.

Personally however, I love hops, I'm a hop head. For me, bitter is better. I've also brewed a catnip beer which tasted strongly of mint and gave everyone who had some a nightmare, myself included. It's also the one they are all telling me to make more of.

I feel like the earthy somewhat metalic taste would be a turn off. The antimicrobial mushrooms with a good taste like Reishi would cost a lot to put into a beer I think, and it would be a very strange east meets west... wait... oh my god... Reishi Sake...

If you'd like I could send you a mushroom I'm thinking if - shelf hedgehog.

As a fungus, I don't think it would have antifungal properties (yeast is a fungus.)

Hell, its worth a shot. It would be interesting, and the mushroom is quite beautiful.

Well, you would be surprised at just how many anti-fungals s come from fungi. Yeast is "Sort of" a fungus, it's an unloved child cladistically because it does not fit nicely into a category. Fungi themselves walk the plant and animal line and yeast is even more troublesome. Wars are waged in rotting stumps and soil. Most fungi have an impressive chemical arsenal designed to beat back the competition... In any case you would have to add your mushrooms to the wort while it was still hot to kill any remaining contaminants that could propagate. While hops have rather simple (at fur fright this weekend I will be wearing my lab coat with the structures of the chemicals in hops) anti-microbial chemicals that only isomerize into other equally effective anti-microbials. Fungi on the other hand tend to use elaborate protein based enzymes to do battle with. Cooking would most likely deactivate these enzymes. That's why hot teas of medicinal mushrooms like Chaga are worthless as antimicrobials for the most part. I assume you are talking about Hericium erinaceus which is one of my favorites for eating but I don't know if that nutty earthy flavor would taste a little too much like a cellar and not enough like a beer to me.

Oh god... Worst combination ever... Coprinopsis atramentaria ... in beer. >.< It has an enzyme that survives cooking, and does the same thing as "Antibuse" which alcoholics take so that if they try and drink alcohol they get physically ill... The mushroom is perfectly edible if you don't plan on drinking.

All true. I don't know the species name of the mushroom I'm thinking of. It was just a conceptual idea I had while selling mushrooms last Saturday.

Sadly, my mind is a mess right now with all that's going on, otherwise I'd be investigating these things myself.

Still, I think a mushroom beer would be interesting...

dude
your now my herro D:!

I try, I really do try. This is probably the most artistic thing I ever do with colored pencils.

should draw a picture like that.

*leans down over some paper and shakes his head* Done...

YAY!

Yeah, only not uploading cause the "Scanner Killed It" Don't you hate it when someone uploads beautiful art and then says "Scanner killed it" Like, if I saw the already beautiful art in real life I would suddenly jiz in my pants? Okay, that's a tangent.

You appear to have many objects, sir. c:

Also, alternate title of 'Reverse intake of art'

Yes, rather than going in through the eyes, it goes out through the mouth. :3

Why thank you kindly. I have many objects but there are few that I can fit into my head in such quantity.

don't trip

*Does hurtles in flip flops with his pants around his ankles blind-folded*

Applauds while recording on camera phone, ready to send to youtube. Title will wither include the word "Awesome" or "Fail" but will definitely include "Epic".

Youtube? That's all? You should send this to the Library of Congress.

Win. Nothing But win.

Until I fall on them, then it's Fail, nothing but fail, but at the same time, win, in the cosmic sense that many lulz have been produced.

This made me laugh so hard that I only have one thing to say. Will you marry me?

Sadly, for you, and happily, for me (unless as it turns out I would be happier with you which is something I can hardly evaluate at this point int time) I am already spoken for. I still appreciate the fave and the comment. :3

Haha. Poop. It's okay I'm technically "engaged" against my will (or is it against my will?) to my best friends brother. And you're welcome!

You mean engaged to your best friend who's brother is your second best friend.

Pretty much, yeah. :3

I figure you must have been framing things chronologically with which came first, rather than priority.

And, with that, you would be correct, good sirrah!

I'm always correct. Ask anyone. If they say otherwise, they're incorrect.

Haha. Says the guy with pencils in his face.

Fwaw fwa foo fwyiff foo fay?


(What are you trying to say?)

That you have pencils in your face? XD

Famm foo faff fa foinfff.
(Damn, you have a point)

Moohaha (evil cow laugh) Of course I do.

*Defeats you with steak sauce* OM NOM NOM NOM NOM!

Ahhh! Not the steak sauce! Not the nom-ing! OH THE HORROR!

You're right, the steak sauce is not quite doing it for me. *Applies Teriyaki and sprinkles with sesame seeds.*

o 3 o I'm covered in Chinese-foodish goodness.

*Leaves what's left of you in the fridge till you become unrecognizable.*

D: Now I'm crusty left-overs!

Well, on my complete list of things that have been up there, pencils are not on the list.

Also, did you hear about the constipated mathematician? Don't worry, he worked it out with a pencil.

*pawface and shakes head*

 obsidianrain125's mom taught me that one...

That defies explanation. ROTFLMAO! XD Holy crap.

Pretty sure the title provides the explanation, at least when it comes to causality.

I know, but I was just saying that as an expression.

Expression = Figure of speech

>_>


<_<



*tap dances*

*claps forgetting why he was staring at you so intently.*

*takes a bow*

*Throws a bunch of roses up on stage... thorny roses.*

Oh my GOD! Again, this is *not* trying too hard except physically- fucking, AWESOME, Apo! I have to say I agree with the majority of these comments and that you are epic, win and incredible. Oh, this talented man of mine *chuckles with a lick*

And now I have new goals to reach for...

Believe in your dreams...

lulz

You forgot to cross your eyes http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4159761/

Damn, you got me there. Touché good sir.

Err, Madam.

Lol :3 i like being mistaken for a guy

I'm so used to guy as the default in this fandom.

The crazed expression is best. And I totally dig the hair.

Thanks! Yeah, this was me training my liver up for the con... I liked this expression best out of all the stupid webcam shots I took that night.

This is beautiful.

I try to bring beauty into the world. It's why I brew beer in the first place.

I wonder what vodka would bring us.

Vodka... Oh dear. Vodka is a drink that is there to remind you that alcohol is a toxin. I'm off the hard stuff these days so I can only imagine. Probably 38 pencils and a sex toy from bad dragon...

FREAK!!

WANKER

FUDGE BANDIT!

COCK JUGGLING THUNDERCUNT!!!

Hahaha this is the best use of school supplies that I can think of

Also home brewn beer must be amazing

Thanks, and that it is. I highly recommend it as a hobby to anyone with a love of beer.

Draw for me DRAW FOR ME NOW!!!!

*Smashes his face against a piece of paper, perforating it and scribbling on the rest.*

MASTERPIECE!

That commission will cost you $75. It's a post modern deconstruction performance piece of your character being atomized by a rainbow.

ME LIKEY!

Glad to know you feel the same way about me posing in fursuit as you do about me stuffed full of pencils out of suit. :3

holy crap D:

*mouth full of pencils* Howwy kkkwhap whaaaathh?

lol xD

Glad you enjoy my masterpiece.

No shirts given.
