Groan or applaud, as you see fit... - Bob Schroeck - 08-01-2013 So as many of you know, I'm a dilettante hobbyist homebrewer, who makes 10 or 15 gallons of beer a year.  I've recently ordered a couple custom-made wooden crates for my 24 1-liter swingtop bottle, since the original cardboard cartons are no longer up to the task of lugging around 3.5 gallons of beer+several pounds of glass each.  One service this fellow offers is laser-burning a logo on the side of the crates.  Well, I didn't have a logo, but add one family myth and one bad joke to a copy of GIMP, and before you know it, I had this:The family myth?  Well, the actor who played the character above -- Count Orlok in Nosferatu, the very first vampire movie, for those who don't recognize him -- was named Max Schreck.  Same pronunciation as my last name, and family folklore holds that he's a distant uncle or cousin of some sort. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Mark Skarr - 08-01-2013 Which does "laughing like a maniac and getting strange looks from my team members" count as? As a teetotaler, I don't partake . . .. I've sure spent enough on booze over the years for our Hero GM. Sure, I'll give most booze a taste, assuming it's something new, but I don't drink more than a sip. (Both of my mother's parents were alcoholics and my father's father was a Native American.) None for me, thanks. - ordnance11 - 08-01-2013 Well definitely punny. I approve! __________________ Into terror!,  Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

Depending what you are brewing a second tagline would be Embrace the dark; fear the light. - Bob Schroeck - 08-01-2013 Heh. I'll have to remember that for the future. Thanks, Rev! -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - ordnance11 - 08-02-2013 Floating, falling, sweet intoxication? I think that would be copyright infringement from Andrew Lloyd Weber though. __________________ Into terror!,  Into valour! Charge ahead! No!

And sharing with the camera. - Bob Schroeck - 08-27-2013 Sadly, I'm all out of wares, and have been for a couple weeks. When our cash flow improves a bit, though, I'll be making a batch of peach beer (at Peggy's request). -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
