I don't believe a can qualifies as a pint, but I'll take it under consideration. Since we are talking about cans now, you do know you can make a hideaway safe with just about any softdrink can.
I use lead weights for my weighted tension wrenches.

No, I wouldn't have guessed about you and liquor.

Its 14.9 fl oz so its not a pint in actual quantity, but guinness considers it a pint. Are you thinking of the guinness stout in the 22 oz bottle? :roll: :P

Bottles and such

Postby Romstar » 19 Jun 2004 17:46

No, not thinking of those massive things.

I just know a can isn't a pint, and I took him at his word.

I know what you mean about Guinness considering it a pint though. I just don't think that I would like a 22oz bottle. If the average bottle of beer is 8oz, then 22 is almost 4 bottles.

I don't know about you, but sometimes my beer gets warm before I finish it. I don't like warm beer. 22 oz is too much in a single bottle.

Hey, sometimes it happens.

Anyway, my drinks of choice are whiskey, vodka and rum. I'd rather than than beer.

Yeah, it happens.

There are also a much greater number of posts that are exactly on topic, and stay that way.

I suspect that our wayward questioner found the answers he was looking for in the vastness of these forums.

I for one don't want anyone to leave unless they have no other choice.

We answered his question about Micarta, and just sort of went from there.

The rest of his questions have been answered over and over again, and I suspect he found those previous answers.

We do like to have fun from time to time you know. :wink:

My mistake.

I always have plenty of beer on hand (as shown in many of my posts)

Well, the postman is reputed to always ring twice...the milkman rings twice & then knocks once...at least that's what my mate's sister said.

We have a milk-lady and I've tried everything...let's leave it there.
