    Corona? What a waste!

    Try a nice oatmeal stout next time, guys.

    I remember a “recipe” for Corona that someone posted to a homebrewing newsgroup a few years back. Something like:

    5 gallons water
    1 quart grain alcohol
    10 drops yellow food coloring

  2. Joe says:

    This is what you want to see science used for, something useful! Funny how they stumbled on to the secret ingredent in Corona, but Mexicans are a practical people.

  3. Joe says:

    Why do you think you put a lemon in it.

    hile this may be surprising to many folks, within the aerospace community it has long been understood to be a necessary component for serious long term space missions. It is something that’s been in the works for some time…

    Interestingly, I learned a long time ago through desert survival training that, although an unpleasant appelation, one can drink urine in order to stay alive…

    I wonder, if you drink enough of it, are you, you know, piss drunk..?

    Sorry, I couldn’t resist that…

  5. Joe says:

    You only rent beer anyway.

  6. Joe says:

    Soylent yellow is made out of urine!

  7. Bob Reed says:

    Oh, and as an aside, it may show my age and ethnic disposition, but I prefer Guinness any day…

    Although I must admit that some of the local brew lagers I’ve had in Germany were quite tasty…

    And Hefeweizen..? Well as they say in Brooklyn; fuhgeddabowdit! That stuff should be sold by the gallon! Nothing like it with a twist of lemon on a hot afternoon…

    Y’all are makin me thirsty, and it’s only 0900 on the east coast!

  8. McGehee says:

    This thing can be easily sabotaged, you know. Just serve the astronauts lots of asparagus…

  9. steveegg says:

    I’m thinking more along the lines of “Waterworld”.

  10. alppuccino says:

    Bob, come out to Ohio and play basketball with me and I’ll have you pissing Guinness before the 3rd quarter.

    Just kidding. But I am a hacker.

  11. Bob Reed says:

    Ah Al, it would be dream world where I could keep recycling that lovely brew…

    And if I had to suffer some hacking along the way, well so be it; you know, for the good of the team and all…

    Best Wishes

    That kind of passion for beer-drinking is a damn rare thing these days. I took passion to its next logical step: pashin’ out

    So I had to quit. I still have the Swiss Cake Rolls though. One addiction at a time.

    Wort in space.

    steveegg,

    Waterworld was ruined for me in the first minute, when he ran his urine through the filter and acted like the fresh water was the most precious thing in the world. I leaned over and asked my friends, “Why doesn’t he run seawater through that thing? At least it would be cold!”

    Meanwhile, my film-major friend just sat there chanting “Twenny-seven thousand…Twenny-seven thousand…Twenny-seven thousand…Twenny-seven thousand…” The film cost $27,000 per second to produce, you see, and he really wanted a minute or two of its financing for his own work.

    I should have walked out then. Even going down the street to drink Corona would have been preferable.

    He could breathe in salt water, but he could not drink it. And he did not want to impegnate women in the floating town.

    I did not like the cut of his jib.

  16. Rob Crawford says:

    Hah!

    Never seen “Waterworld”, never will!

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  17. Joe says:

    Rob, you were lucky, you can never get back those six hours, twenty seven minutes, or how ever long that piece of dreg ran.

  18. serr8d says:

    OT, but this is some good, well-schadenfreuded stuff. The sequel would be priceless.

  19. SBP says:

    I was confused by the “wife, mate” headline, serr8d, until I realized it was from Australia.

  20. lonetown says:

    I’m not surprised it tastes like Corona!

  21. brian says:

    Remember kids, the water you drink today was dinosaur piss a million years ago!

  22. Slartibartfast says:

    Corona tastes a whole lot like 100% rice/0% barley beer.

    In other words, it sucks donkey schlong.
