'
They don't hang all beer, just that one; marketing gimmick actually. "Gentse Strop" translates to "Ghent Noose"
A noose is the unofficial symbol for the city of Ghent and the locals are at times refereed to as noose bearers
I'd explain why, but I can tell from everyone's blank expression that y'all really could care less.
If you just can't stop yourself though, go on ahead and google: "Revolt of Ghent 1539 "
.

That's really interesting and quite a marketing technique. I just had a great marketing idea for a product named big b00b beer.

I will trust the information you provided and use work time next week to google any additional information.

How does one go about getting a policy for $1.95?
.

You're worth more than that. Literally, you could sell your plasma for more than that. And, I have no idea what the black market on organs are, but your wife might be able to do better than $1.95.

Actually that was interesting, but your failure to follow through on the whole story allowed me to postpone working an a tedious year end report that is due soon and google the Revolt of Ghent 1539. It was about taxes.
.

Which was about taxes? The tedious year end report or Revolt of Ghent? Surely you're not serious. Stop calling me Shirley.

Goggling right after I post this.

You can also use google or bing. That may be more efficient than goggle. Did Al Gore invent that one?

There's nothing like the warm smell of someone about 2 inches from you on a packed central line to make you love the concept of working from home.
.

I don't need the smell of someone 2 inches away from me to know I need to work at home.

Yup...
And dispite the protest they got taxed anyway.
and a bunch of them were executed, and a standing army was stationed there to lord over them, and they lost their cathedral, and most of the city walls, and nearly all their guild rights and it voided every treaty they had prior to that point and so on, and so on...
...

Well, other than the executed thing, it sounds like you just described the American taxation system as well. You just need to translate standing army into KGB into IRS.

Damn autocorrect.

How do I get my hands on a couple of those?

Don't tell my DW.

Morning Gents, from a very humid London. Everyone smells very special on the underground this morning. I'll let everyone know when it's 5 o'clock our time, and then I suggest we all clock off and go to the pub. One out, all out. Who's with me?

Sounds great but I'll have to pass this time. Maybe next month when I am in London for the day. (No, seriously, I'm in London 19th August, I have a long layover at Heathrow between flights )

If you just can't stop yourself though, go on ahead and google: "Revolt of Ghent 1539 "

Well, you really do learn something new every day. Beer in a noose, who knew?

Bad storms this AM and county declared state of emergency with many losing power. We are all safe here.

Glad to hear everything is OK.

I second that motion! It does seem like a very handy product...

had to come back and see for myself that it does still exist...

Nope. Gone.

Get working on those stiff arms for the mad dash to Frozen Maelstrom. Would the IG entrance be easier?

That was exactly what I was thinking of doing. I'm not sure how far they let you in before rope drop, but there should be a lot less foot traffic and you will not have to fight the crowd from Epcot to World Showcase that is probably a hot mess. now if we could just set up a zip line across World Showcase Lagoon

ah man, that would have been cool, a London dad meet. we're in orlando though.

Wouldn't the collective noun be a pair?
"big b00b beer. get 'em out, and it's time for a party." I can see the Super Bowl ad right now.

It should not be too bad. 4 of the group of 18 are in that 19 - 23 age group so most likely they will have other plans, after the 2nd day we will be down to 9 for the remainder of the trip (5 adults & 4 kids ages 6-10) The biggest task is to get on the new Frozen ride, no fast pass, so it's a 1st thing in the morning be one of the first ones through the gate, with the park opening at 9 I want to be through security by 8 before it backs up

Starting to plan our next trip, Oct 1 - 4, Oct 1st is MKs 45th anniversary not going to miss that

Will you be making copies of your little book for them to follow?

string me up like one of those Belgian beers

Great new catch phrase Rob! Let's see if it catches on.

Top O the Morning Dads! Or whatever time my body thinks it is. Sitting here at LAX with layover before last leg of this glorious trip. Our COO that I am traveling with looked at me as we were getting off the plane here and stated "let's not make a habit of this trip in the future " - amen to that. We will be celebrating DS birthday tomorrow. Have a good weekend with the families.

Last day in the office for me, off to another basketball tournament tomorrow.

DS and DW have a shared plan and they are constantly hitting their limit and probably going over. We were driving home the other night and he was watching a video clip on his phone. I said to DW "he knows that he is using his data, right?" The reply was "We've had this talk."

Glad I don't share mine.

Feel your pain. DW, DD &DS share a plan and went over once and have come close on several occasions. What ever happened to the old unlimited plans?

The kid met distant cousins in Holland and they took a train to Brussels. My question is whey to the Belgiums hang their beer?

Leave it to Rob to get us the answer..… marketing but Norms approach is true genius with a pair

Sign me up, though by now you guys are likely all in the bag

Don't tell my DW.

I just checked on ebay, and already your left leg is at $23.75, so you've gotta feel good about that.

Happy Saturday. Played tennis this AM, one kid came home from a sleepover and the other one is leaving on a sleepover. I tried to get rid of them both the same day, but it didn't work out that way. DW is taking one shopping, so I get a few hours to myself this afternoon.

Look at those cans! Beer cans, that is.

Glad you all like my idea. Now, someone just needs to brew the beer, trademark the brand name, establish distribution, do the marketing, and send me a 20% royalty check for terrific idea.

Hi Paul. Bye Paul. You won't be back to see this though. All the cool kids are on FB.

big b00b beer. outstanding when cold.

Sweet! My job always wants me to give an arm and a leg, so I might as well profit from it.

I have a basic sheet for everybody, but the down to the minute plans will be on a need to know basis. Knowing they would be overwhelmed with the planning and backup planing it contains

 

[Terra Nova guy]

ah man, that would have been cool, a London dad meet. we're in orlando though.

Oh well, if you have to take off to Orlando...

 

[londontime]

Morning gents, from an overcast London. Off to see Stevie Wonder this afternoon in Hyde Park, so that should be cool. I'm sure there will be some non pre-vacation diet refreshments included in today, so extra runs this week.
