Late for your medication are we Bill?

One thing you need to know William, is that you need to earn respect here, and if you want your opinions to carry weight then you need to show respect ...you haven't shown any so therefore your opinions don't matter.

Have a nice day.

I think we might have a former member here who was probably banned at some point. What's your real name? Might as well fess up, you have nothing to lose.

I don't know what it's like in other areas, but teachers in Pennsylvania have a sweet deal, averaging twice the average local salary plus Cadillac healthcare, not to mention summers off. Gotta love that teachers union! [beer]

There's lots of people that make less than teachers, they're called regional airline pilots. Working at McDonald's would be a huge step up for them. Think about that the next time you board one of the "puddle jumpers" they fly.

If you look at his member info he listed his occupation as "projectionist", so he must work in a theater and be a chimp too. [Roll Eyes]

BTW: My trace of his ip address showed that he is in Rice Lake, Wisconsin which is northeast of St. Paul.

Is that true about the flight attendants on those too? It would explain why they all LOOK like William...

I wonder if this moron works for the CEC Lake 7 Theater or the Red Barn Theater?

Im tempted to call and find out if they have a projectionist named William then maybe I could direct the Manager here so they can see what there employee thinks of thier profession. [evil]

As for "William Frank Karl",

I didn't realize that mental retardation due to inbreeding was a problem in Wisconsin. How's the banjo playing?

Posted by Chris Slycord (Member # 4239) on 01-28-2010, 02:14 PM:

No it's due to drinking. When I lived in Milwaukee as a kid they said that the average total beer drinking was 7 gallons per year per adult American, but in the Milwaukee area it was more like 14.

Either way, someone's drinking my share.

7 gallons a year is less than 2 pints a week, so 14 gal. would be < 4 pints a week... is that really considered heavy drinking in other parts of the country?

Wow, I figure I average about 1.5 beers a day...that would be a shocking [Eek!]

18 gal. a year. For this area, I consider myself a light drinker. I've got a couple acquaintances who drink at least a 6 pack a day. That ads up to 205 gal. per year. That's a number I would consider impressive (or excessive) @ $20/ case that's about $1822/yr.

*facepalm*
You don't quite understand that most people are social drinkers at most and the heavy drinkers are the ones that make up for everyone else. I'm not saying 4 pints a week is heavy drinking; I'm saying that the people of Milwaukee drink about twice as much beer as the rest of the country.

Really? What I said deserves a facepalm?

I do understand that your point was that if on average the whole country drinks X and a certain subset drinks double that, that that* subset drinks a lot more than the whole ... on average. My point is that even the "heavy drinking" subset seems surprisingly light to me, so I asked

Sorry that I didn't add "as an average" to that question.

Thank you for the observation.

I feel it did. Everything you asked indicated you were not understanding what I said. I mention something about average drinking and you acted like I was saying the amount itself was massively excessive.

quote: Jeremy Jorgenson

But none of those numbers were about the "heavy drinking subset." Those numbers were on average adults, not average heavy drinking adults.

I'm sure that if you only looked at individual heavy drinkers, then they'd probably each drink about as much as each other (whether in Milwaukee or not). It just so happens that there are more heavy drinkers in Milwaukee than other places. But again, those numbers I gave are NOT about the heavy drinking subsets. Even in Milwaukee, most people aren't heavy drinkers.

On the other hand, my mom and dad said that when I was in preschool they had a PTA meeting with a keg. So take that for what it's worth.

But really, the reason there's more drinking there is pretty simple:
There's quite a few breweries in town.

edit: Though actually, I think my numbers may have been wrong. I'm going based on what I remember from over 20 years ago but they definitely drank more there than elsewhere.

Yeppers. My numbers were wrong. If we go by http://www.sloshspot.com/blog/06-26-2009/American-Beer-Consumption-Per-Capita-By-State-Infographic-177
it shows that Wisconsin has an avg in the 36-40 gallon per person per year.

Posted by Jeremy Jorgenson (Member # 2989) on 01-29-2010, 05:02 PM:

36-40 sounds a lot more reasonable.

Why so many more responses to this thread than to our enlightened OP's other thread "your job is so hard"? I mean, they are equally worthy of everyone's time and consideration, with strong supporting evidence, and they speak to the flawed nature of our respective existences. We should really realize that our jobs are trivial and pointless, not at all like Mister William Stevenson's highly estimable career as a, er, "projectionist."
