On the Kindness of Strangers (aka ArmedandHammered Is Really Generous With Beer)

That’s all she wrote, folks. Sure, Horatio drank two more beers, but do you really want to hear him refer to himself as a whore for grapefruit?  You do?  Well, handle that on your own time, ya freak.  In the meantime, let’s just acknowledge how awesome it is that this little corner of the internet has not only great anonymous online dick jokery but also real people with real beer they’re willing to share. Thanks, ArmedandHammered, for expanding our horizons and our beer bellies!  May we all take a lesson and pay it forward, one to twelve beers at a time.

“We did want to quickly do something to send good juju into the world, so we made donations in ArmedandHammered’s name to the Wake County Habitat for Humanity and Rise Against Hunger.”

Do we do any of this sort of thing as a group around here?
I’m always inspired by the likes of Shea Serrano and the Shutdown Fullcast crew but as someone with somewhat limited means and limited social reach, I don’t have much power to do good beyond the paltry donations I make from time to time.

Yes, we do. From time to time, we’ve put the call out for anyone willing to donate to a worthy cause.

We also offer donations to charity as prizes for winning prediction contests. On top of the Gently-Used Fleshlights, of course.

Surely that is the definition of a lost cause….

I was wondering why Horatio was whispering for his first few reviews.

Love Center of the Universe’s beers! I’ve had their Oktoberfest, Summer Moon Raspberry Lemonade, Bald Irishman, BEE Orange Blossom Honey Ale, and Donker Zuur. I pick up any of their offerings when I see something new.

Shotgun Betty is another favorite in Fortress LemonJello.

Dunstan

“Donker Zuur” sounds like it might be how the Swedish Chef pronounces “Doktor Zymm”

King Hippo

I haven’t seen Center of the Universe around town, but sure hope to. Where in VA? Richmond??

ArmedandHammered

Yep.

I live in the same county, but have only tried Hell Yes, Ma’am (huzzah for Players’ Retreat, ALWAYS called “the PR” by us locals).

It is a very good beer. It will fuck you the fuck up.

ArmedandHammered

Love PR’s used to go there a lot after playing ultimate.

ArmedandHammered

Glad you all enjoyed the beers. Unfortunately my son no longer works at the brewery due to reasons. Burial was one of my favorite breweries when I was able to drink beer. I only shipped cans otherwise I would have included Greenman’s ESB which I loved waaay to much. I can do care packages of some of these and some new ones if you guys are interested and let me know.

And thanks for donating the money, those are really worthy causes and I really appreciate your doing that.

Great write up which I will share with my son as he had input and helped to make the Center of the Universe beers.

That’s unfortunate. I’ll happily follow his beer making abilities anywhere.

ArmedandHammered

He is actually going the line cook route right now. At home he is a fantastic cook, trying to get him to go to chef’s school.

ArmedandHammered

No problem. I figured it was on DFO time schedule. And getting all of you sober at the same time rarely happens I assume.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Based on DFO’s schedule this was actually two months early.

Sharkbait

I should start to seriously look for these now. These were really good.

Holy shit this was comprehensive! I think this may be our first two page post ever!

Well done!

And El Duderino seems like a beer I would greatly enjoy. I could drink several of these.

Nah, leave it as is.

Seconded. Nothing wrong with a 2-pager.

It’s really the “back page” that Miss Lindsey is interested in.

I yearn for the day he’s finally fully exposed.

Dunstan

“Fully exposed.”

PHRASING!

We also would have accepted “what is Cole Beasley’s status regarding the novel coronavirus?”
