    Writes torch songs, perhaps?

  2. Alex says:

    about can beers?

  3. Alex says:

    Actually, I saw a convenience store while driving yesterday with a sign saying “Yes we have can soda!” I couldn’t get my camera out in time. :(

  4. Aaron Hong says:

    Fantastic.

  5. JohnB says:

    An important philosophical question is being asked here. Can beer “fire up” a writer? And the answer is obvious: since beer will readily douse flames, of course not! It takes at least 110-proof hard liquor to fire up a writer.

    • PoodleGroomer says:

      I still smell burning nose hair from the last time I used a lighter while getting fired up.

    • paws4thot says:

      You’d need more than one can, but I assure you that beer can get writers lit up!

      • JohnB says:

        Actually, the form in which one consumes alcohol is largely irrelevant to issues of abuse and dependence. I’ve known plenty of alcoholics who drink only or primarily beer. And believe me, as a recovering alcoholic and member of the treatment community, I don’t take such issues lightly. But as is usually the case around here, I was joking, and my joke was really just a reference to the fact that at room temperature, solutions of alcohol weaker than about 55% (110 proof) are not flammable.

        • paws4thot says:

          No offence intended mate; I was just trying to get meta with the double meaning (far from unusual for me), and do know several other recovering alcoholics. No way could you know that though, any more than I knew you were one of them.

          • JohnB says:

            No offense or offence taken! When I banter about boozing I usually feel a need to sooner or later add a disclaimer, since there’s a lot more joking about alcohol than serious discussion in a lot of places. I don’t have a thing against people who don’t have a problem with it drinking, and I’ll even serve them myself in my home sometimes.

            • PoodleGroomer says:

              I was hoping the reference to burning nose hair from burning shots was a warning to stop when the stupid seems plausible and fun.

              • JohnB says:

                For someone with the disease, such warnings go unheeded. You’d think vomiting hot vodka out of one’s nose would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but in fact I went through quite a few of those before I got sober.

                • hollyr57 says:

                  In no way did you or anyone ask for this, but my favorite “thing I don’t do since I got sober” is burn hard boiled eggs. 20 years and more ago, I couldn’t seem to stay on point while hard boiling eggs. Do you know what happens to eggs when the water boils away and the heat isn’t turned off? The first time I heard it, it sounded like gun shots. I’ve cleaned more exploded egg of kitchen walls than anyone I know. Of course, I don’t go around comparing…

                  • JohnB says:

                    Actually, I mentioned this very same phenomenon the other day! I can’t recall which picture it was in reference to, but I’m sure you can find it easily with the search function. But MY favorite thing I don’t do since I got sober is to look out to see if the car is there. I never figured out which was scarier: if it was there, or if it wasn’t…

                    • JohnB says:

                      It was in reference to “Pizza Roof,” June 18.

                      • hollyr57 says:

                        Well, so you did! See what I miss when I decide that the subject photo isn’t funny and ignore it? I also liked the other commenter’s story about his dad having to have his boiled down eggs put out by the fire fighters because of all the smoke. I knew that there had to be other egg burners out there, I just didn’t know where. And my husband, also a recovering alkie, has told me many times that knowing where his car is and what he did in it is one of the best parts of being sober. He used to be afraid to check the grill. I was too afraid to drive until I’d been sober 5 years, which in a way was a great thing. I killed a lot of brain cells but no one under the wheels.

                • dr handle says:

                  Or teenagers – for teenagers such warnings go unheeded, along with “drink enough in one sitting and you will die” and “driving very fast when you’re a novice driver may be fatal” and “use a condom, STIs are rampant amongst your age group” and “you can get pregnant the first time you Do It, even if you’re standing up” and “using drugs can screw your life up very very badly if they don’t kill you” and “jumping out of a plane without a parachute is a bad idea” and “playing russian roulette with an automatic pistol is a really bad idea” and “drinking battery acid laced with cyanide then jumping off a cliff into the ocean in midwinter wearing a necklace of lead weights whilst garotting yourself would probably be fatal”. Teenagerdom – there is no Campral treatment.

                  • JohnB says:

                    My theory is that there is some biochemical that is produced during adolescence that produces feelings of invulnerability. I hypothesize that this is necessary because if teens and young adults did not feel this way, they would never leave home and go out into this big, scary world. And that is why some of us take to consuming substances that bring back that feeling of invulnerability.

        • PointsOutTheObvious says:

          If they were, liquor stores would pay MUCH higher premiums on their insurance for the added fie hazard.

    • dr handle says:

      No doubt there are writers who can be fired up by beer; whether what they are fired up to write is worth reading is the question.

      • tea says:

        Sometimes, when you’re a writer, you don’t give a dang if it’s worth reading, as long as you can get your brain to let you write *something.*

        The trick is just to sober up before you think about showing the product to anyone.

  6. Much Glory Hopeful says:

    ♫ Come on baby, write my fire ♫

  7. lyn says:

    is for writing cigalettes.

  8. lyn says:

    you ah vely sirry guys

  9. Jennifer says:

    Beer and fire will never guide or handle me!

  10. Starsky says:

    Technically, if you look at the color, it’s a “Brew Writer”.

    Can Beer? Yes It Can!!!

  11. buckinarut says:

    When I am under the guidance of the handling article, and that article be can beer, then it usually comes out “Gotta writer for muh ganga spriff?”

    • JohnB says:

      I never did get much guidance from handling articles myself. I get a lot more out of them when I read them.

  12. tehexile says:

    can has beer prs?

  13. SM says:

    It is not related to the can beer thing.
    ライター is pronounced raitaa, which is closer to ‘writer’ in English. However, the sound of L is transliterated into the sound of R in Japanese.

  14. fyi says:

    The Chinese translaiton is wrong too!

  15. Daily Lama says:

    Paperback Writer
    From the soundtrack of Fahrenheit 451.

    • dr handle says:

      Lit reference WIN!
      Oh, and *clonk* for a truly Dreadful Pun.

      • buckinarut says:

        If you’re going to clonk and condemn Daily Lama to Dreadful Pun Hell as is stated in your job description for Dreadful Pun Hell Fairy (it’s also in the Fairy Union rules, too, if I recall), then he should be sent to the 9th Circle, since that one was one of the bestest I ever did see.

  16. digitalcoffee says:

    sadly, this was the first thing i saw after getting off the plane.
