Zach 145 Posted April 8, 2008 Nice Bob. All that, and you have time for homebrewing too? I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment
Nathan Strum 11,921 Posted April 8, 2008 Well, this is homebrewing too. Of a sort. Quote Link to comment
batari 4,530 Posted April 8, 2008 Well, this is homebrewing too. Of a sort. Except with 2600 homebrewing, the creation is hard work and the result is fun, not the other way around... Quote Link to comment
vdub_bobby 226 Posted April 8, 2008 The result is fun, too...just a different sort of fun. Quote Link to comment

Cybergoth 299 Posted April 15, 2008 Do you really use the words godfather and godparenthood? I was looking up the german words "Patenonkel", "Pate" and "Taufpate" and in all cases it delivered godfather. In english language context so far I only associated this with the movie, i.e. the mafia The traditional concept behind a "Patenschaft" is basically that when both parents get run over by a bus for example, the underage children will get adopted and raised by the "Paten". Coming back to what I originally wanted to say, my sister-in-law is giving birth to a son while I'm writing this and she chose me to become his uhm... godfather This is a great honor, I'm looking forward to that BTW: It doesn't just mean I'm responsible for the boy in the worst case, but also that I will have to care more about him, than a random other child within the family. You know, bigger birthday/x-mas presents, having him visiting during school vacations, etc. Do you have godparents assigned for your children as well, Bob? EDIT: I think you know the concept as well in the states, I just remembered that I once saw a King of Queens episode dealing with that topic Quote Link to comment
vdub_bobby 226 Posted April 16, 2008 No, no godparents. Godparents come from roman catholicism, originally, and I ain't roman catholic. Has to do with infant baptism and such. Quote Link to comment
Cybergoth 299 Posted April 16, 2008 I see. In our family it has lost most of the religious meaning. I couldn't even be a religious godfather, since I seceded from the Evangelical Church. Quote Link to comment
vdub_bobby 226 Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah, I think it has lost much of its religious significance most places. Quote Link to comment
