Title: The Fall Versus Beer
Description: Which would you choose?


Cleanville Tziabatz - July 9, 2008 10:41 PM (GMT)
Lets say the all powerful Flying Spaghetti Monster descended to Earth and decided to punish you for not believing in him good enough. But, you get to choose your punishment. Either you have to give up The Fall (old and new) forever (including any MES solo, MES/Blaney, Van Suderfeds, etc.) or you have to give up beer and wine and cider forever (but not hard liquor or malt bevs like ZIMA). Which punishment would you choose?

elvischomsky - July 10, 2008 12:21 AM (GMT)
A difficult one, but there's always vodka during daylight hours, then whisky in the evening.
I've always found The Fall sound best on whisky...

Neal Cassady - July 10, 2008 08:55 AM (GMT)
I would give up beer, buy a crack pipe and continue to listen to The Fall.

rainmaster - July 10, 2008 09:07 AM (GMT)
Yes, beer would be given up in favour of The Fall, especially as whiskey is still allowed! ;)

Who is the alcoholic who voted to dump The Fall? :o

Kapitän - July 10, 2008 09:21 AM (GMT)
My two greatest pleasures in life... :banghead:

I can't stand most hard liquors either, maybe except aquavit.

I refuse to vote. Even at gunpoint.

But you'd still be allowed this, K!

It's the original "malternative" - with a new light taste!
Mmm...

mikeyboy - July 10, 2008 09:38 AM (GMT)
Toughest poll ever. I've had longer periods of not listening to The Fall than I've had not drinking beer. Hmmm.... maybe I need to get drunk on beer, listen to some Fall and get back to you on it!!

As Paul Calf said:

I'd stop drinking ... I'd cut down .. on spirits ... during the week.

mixstreams - July 10, 2008 09:55 AM (GMT)
sorry but the fall have to go.

No beer
No cigarettes
Spikes, gin, cigarettes
Whisky

Aquavit, dangerous brew. But tasty!

The Fall without beer then, what else. And of course.

Solomon's choice.
Which of your children would you like to see dismembered before your very eyes?

A bit af an aquired taste admittedly, but I've grown to love it. A traditional Norwegian drink that's particularly popular with christmas meals. Usually spiced with caraway, dill, anise and coriander.

This is the rolls royce of aquavits IMO, 'Gammel Opland'. Quite a dominant vanilla taste compared to a lot of other brands. I've downed a few of these in my time... :wacko:

Dunno. One of the twins?

I've given up beer.
No great shakes*....

* Well, I did, but that's not what I meant...

The Fall everytime.

Beer just seems to make me sweat and feel lousy next day.

Spirits only now. Weekends usually.

Tobacco is probably another poll. :lol:

Hex En hour - July 10, 2008 05:11 PM (GMT)
Booze, I hate the dirty shit

Daggerfall96 - July 11, 2008 06:07 AM (GMT)
What a North American question. Do the Fall play in those bizarre bars there that don't serve spirits or something? Y'know, cos you might get DRUNK on spirits!!!!
OK, I've given up what-ever-it-was.

Annnnnnnnnnddddddddddd I've taken up **** ingestion again.
As one days.
I mean "does".

Frederick II - July 11, 2008 08:19 AM (GMT)
Beer. U cant drink The Fall. :beer:

It's also the only possible explanation for the Norwegians eating lutefisk - to give them an excuse to drink more aquavit.

Back OT, seeing as my day job is drinking wine it's a difficult call: unemployment or The Fall.

That's very true... :lol:

Divvey - July 11, 2008 09:37 AM (GMT)
well the Fall have given up me & all the others South of the Equator...

Mere Pseud. - July 11, 2008 10:13 AM (GMT)
I wonder how MES would vote in this poll. :unsure:

Popular in Sweden and Denmark as well, there are a few different recipes. I would normally choose Aalborg Jubilaeums Akvavit or Skåne Akvavit... but I have to admit I haven't tried many of the Norwegian ones. Yes, Løitens, I think.

Sorry, that was harsh! :ohdear:

Fritter - July 11, 2008 05:13 PM (GMT)
Not voting, but I'm thinking that if I sit quietly for a bit I can remember any Fall musics and that's sometimes all it takes to make me feel excited about The Fall (or any music for that matter). Sad to say I don't get the same feeling just thinking about beer as my taste/drunken pleasure memory is not as vivid as my musical one.

Völlig Totall - December 29, 2008 05:37 PM (GMT)
You don't last long on a diet of vodka and whiskey, i tell yer. So it's beer for me.

Sorry Mark, i hope you'll understand. :beer:

Gaz - December 29, 2008 05:40 PM (GMT)
I do not drink much these days so not much of a contest, really.

The Fall vs drugs (medical or otherwise) though... Much more tricky.

that one got me laughing.


I'd give up beer, bourbon is a fine replacement

petehine - January 3, 2009 07:23 AM (GMT)
27 - 9!

But that's while it's hypothetical. Of course we're all going to luck out and have to choose between beer and Perry Como when the day comes. Only Locomac would have to think twice. (or who was it Zoot horn polo?)

imaglasgowmanmyself - February 2, 2009 09:54 PM (GMT)
cant imagine one without the other

thegonzokid - February 3, 2009 06:18 PM (GMT)
More of a whiskey man these days anyway.
