Kegs are indeed another matter. They extend higher than the tub, and therefore may well exceed its weight bearing capacity.

Scratching the tub is another issue -- cheap shower curtain liners laid down before adding ice and sodas is a good idea, particularly in a hotel.

Oddly enough I've been having a very similar discussion with a person from Canada off the SMOFS list.

Cheers,

mmmmmmmm i love that

I'm not for beer too much myself, more of a hard cider gal.

A few years back there was a list of OS Beers; one example was Windows Beer, which comes in a 32-ounce can but contains only 16 ounces of brew. The full list surely must be Out There in Webland Somewhere.

"Beer wants to be pee."

I remember that I was trying to reconstruct the percentages for beer and soda that we use when we're buying supplies for a Tor party. Right now they seem harder to remember.

Soda:

4 parts caffeinated brown soda
3 parts lemon-lime soda
2 parts diet caffeinated brown soda
2 parts orange/root beer/ginger ale
2 parts flavored selzer and/or diet lemon-lime

4 parts decent ale (Sam Adams always works)
2 parts IPA and/or Bitter
2 parts Corona, Rolling Rock, Dos Equis, Bras d'Or, etc.
2 parts darker, heavier ales and stouts
2 parts hard cider (Granny Smith goes over well)

At least half of the pizza you order must be pepperoni and cheese, with no other toppings.

Order one-half to one-third that many pies with sausage topping. One other non-exotic topping may be added to each sausage-topped pie.

The pie that most commonly remains when everybody's grabbed their first one or two slices is the all-cheese. Next most common is the white (ricotta) pie. Third most common is the vegetables-only. Keep this in mind.

Remember to ask for oregano, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder on the side.

Bear in mind that many people who don't like bell peppers really don't like bell peppers, and exercise prudence accordingly.

No anchovies for group pizza sessions. Just don't do it.

Watch out for the whiner(s) who has non-specific reservations about all the suggested toppings. He or she will often turn out to be a voracious pizza-eater who'll chow down on all the most attractive pies, even if they're topped with the exact list of items the whiner most disapproved of during the ordering phase.

Some vegetarians experience a miraculous conversion on the spot, if the pepperoni smells good enough.

Tom

Maybe it's because I accidentally ate something that had tiny bits of prosciutto mixed in with the identical-looking tiny bits of tomato a few years ago, and spent the next 45 minutes vomiting my guts out, and the next 24 hours feeling queasy and weak (not to mention geas-ridden).

No, that's not a typo.

Tom, I go by which bottles get left sitting around half-full during Tor parties. You can pick up a lot of useful information when you're doing cleanup.

Bear in mind that many people who don't like bell peppers really don't like bell peppers, and exercise prudence accordingly.

Someone on raseff called it cooties--bell peppers have taste cooties, they contaminate the whole dish and physically taking out the pieces is futile.

Ah. Here's the original post, on Google, about food cooties by Eloise Beltz-Decker.

In college, a group of a dozen or so students and faculty went out for pizza and beer after a rock-climbing trip, and we made the mistake of letting a fellow with a rather twisted (and sometimes annoying) sense of humor order the pizzas. The big surprise was that everyone present was completely satisfied by the pizzas he ordered: ham and pineapple on one, and anchovies on another. In retrospect, perhaps hunger played a larger part than serendipity, though.
