Right now I am full of outright anger. It's hard for me to imagine a more egregious insult! I've spent the last 6 hours at my best friend's house helping him build from scratch a tree house / swing set for his 4 and 2 year old daughters (one is my Goddaughter). It wasn't until I got home and taking a shower that I realized that during that entire time, not a single beer was provided or consumed! If I'm not mistaken, this is a clear violation of the Man Code. Am I out of line here?

Man Code calls for such details need to be hammered out before the work is engaged. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, not a single thing should have been done at ALL before 24 oz is introduced into your digestive tract. I say the guilt lies with both parties involved.

Quoted: He is not your friend. Truth is he was probably sneaking inside and drinking all the beer by himself. React accordingly, and don't think about it too much as it ruins the effect.  Call him immediately and tell him he is dead to you and that you have just deleted him from your cellphone!!! |

Minimum 1 beer per hour, of the type you prefer (if stated in advance). Anything else is gay, wrong and an actionable offense. And if you say something like, "I prefer a quality dark beer", and a Bud is provided, it's fully within the code to knee him in the nuts (assuming he's got any) and leave. |

My apologies. Had a first date (and last I might add) to go to. But that's an entirely different story.
I accept partial responsibility for the lack of beer consumption. I should have noted the decided lack of frosty hops and barley present during the initial construction phase; however, I must point out that during the 20 some years I have known The Bear we have performed many a "2nd set of hands" favor for each other and beer has always been present. Why just a couple weeks ago he helped me change a bad hub bearing in my truck. And yes, I provided a bountiful harvest of brew for consumption as is required: Dead Guy Ale, Arrogant Bastard, Bud Light, Corona, and Pete's Wicked Ale. Honestly, could one ask for more from a host? Immediately after I left my house I gave him a call and thoroughly chewed him out. His excuse was that he wanted us completely sober for the setting of the structural posts. Given our long friendship and the fact that his wife just last night introduced me to the possible future ex-Mrs. E-95, I accepted his apology but demanded that tomorrow's construction must entail consumption of both today's and tomorrow's beer allotment. Besides DK-Prof, his wife is like a sister to me. And while that kind of thing is okay in Arkansas, we tend to frown on it here.

Your "buddy" gives you a fucking and all you do is bitch about it on the internet. Turn in your man card Nancy 
E-95 ETA: I have to add an exchange that took place today that left me laughing my ass off. Bear was making pickets for us to mark out where to put the post holes. He's doing a little overkill and using wood screws to make H pickets and his 4 year old is helping by handing him the wood screws. So he figures out that he's not going to have enough if we do it that way and starts taking them apart: Daughter: "Daddy, why you doing that?" Bear: "Because daddy made a mistake." E-95: "Yea, daddy makes a lot of mistakes." Daughter: "He sure does."

Beer + 10 feet off the ground = Fall of death. Unless you were wearing fall protection, I'd say you can thank him later.....over a beer. People like you take the freedom to make a bad decision away from honest beer drinkers. You are why we can't have less laws on the books. Take your nancy "fall protection" and write some useless safety rules for the Army or something. Lord knows we don't have enough as it is. |

I have to call time out here! Sounds to me that you are way beyond the "here is your beer" kind of friendship... The god fathers of my kids know damned well where my cold beer and booze is, along with my good friends. I have long ago told them were it is and to feel free to get it themselves as they see fit, I also have the same standing order while at their place.. Now, if I'm running for a beer I will ask if they need one also. I do not ask them, and or escort them to the shitter any time they need to use it, nor do I feel that I have to offer a cold one to someone who is more then capable of getting one themselves. Now if said work was being performed beyond the normal quick walk to the beer fridge, and a cooler of cold liquid goodness was not provided.... Then you do have a right to bitch.... I say do what Hawken50 says. Otherwise, I would say.... "Keep your beer whole shut.." ;) |

You had six hours to figure out you did not have a beer in your possession.
I say you go over there and demolish the playhouse, and demand backbeers for the beer not received for said work, and then establish an hourly beerpay for the work to build the playhouse again. |
