Beeramids

Post by **Oggar** » Sun Aug 05, 2007 11:36 am

Of late I have been drinking a lot of beer. This has lead me to start constructing pyramids out of the empties. Granted it's not as ambitious as whichever one of you guys was making the table covered in bottle caps but... anyone share my hobby? I currently have one under constuction in the shower. Just four more shower beers and it's done.

Went to a show a few years back and knew it was going to be something special: $5 cover, .50 cent PBRs. We had a close to four foot beeramid on our table that was admired by many and loathed by the Cenobite waitstaff. The PBR keg blew and we were then treated to .75 cent Stroh's.

I built one a few months ago, on the kitchen counter.
Totally unplanned, I added beasts, disregarding counter space, standing back to look in awe at what rune had wrought. Slowly they built that aluminum shrine to the ceiling,,,until late one night I decided I needed a pepper refill and opened the cabinet door and knocked xteen stinking empties to the floor at xthirty am.
At least it wasn't glass.

When the wife and I were first married, we constructed a rather impressive beeramid on our poker table. It wasn't planned, but rather evolved over the span of a few weeks.

When we finally took the recycling out, it was epic.

Erosion is killing the real pyramids too.

Now here is a noble quest. We must save a Wonder of the World from the brutality of Nature... by covering the pyramids with beer cans. If any group on the planet could accomplish this, it's the denizens of this board.

Question is- what brand? I think High Life would be best from a color standpoint, but Anheuser-Busch would probably provide free product for Cheops' to be Budweiser...

Last week, at the strip club, the person that comes around to take away the empties wasn't doing the job. I decided to start making a beeramid with the empties. It was about 14 high when I had to make tinkle. When I came back, the bastard had taken them all down, and my buddy said he was pissed off that I did it. It was art.

Not a beeramid really, but one of the apartments I lived in in college had a 10-foot long bar. Two of my roommates and I started lining up our Milwaukee's Best glass empties on the bar top because we didn't want to bother with recycling.

The bar acommodated 8 (maybe nine) bottles per row, and something like 25 rows. Once we had covered the bar top, we took a picture and sent it to Miller seeking sponsorship.

Never heard back from the folks at Plank Road.

And I lost my copy of the picture during one of the several moves since.

The Beast comes in glass? Don't think I have ever seen that in Alabama but then again my local candy store just started carrying cases of PBR.

Too bad these guys only bottle their beer.

I read this as 'beermaids'. I am now disappointed.
