<p>Most people have found theBeerean.com with searches you could expect.</p>
<p>Can Christians drink beer?<br /> How many beers can I drink before I get drunk?</p>
<p>But there have been a few that have caught me off guard and made me laugh.  So I thought I would share with you guys a few of the off center search results that have landed people at theBeerean.com.</p>
<p><strong>can i drink light beer and take alli</strong></p>
<p>I would say no.  Not because of the &#8220;alli&#8221; part, but because of the &#8220;light.&#8221; Light beer is an abomination.  If you want to drink a beer that is low on calories, <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_calories_does_the_beer_Guinness_have">drink a Guinness</a>&#8230;.oh and ask your pharmacist about the Alli part.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;kevin max&#8221; alcohol</strong></p>
<p>This one is new for me.  I&#8217;ve heard of and tried <a href="http://www.monksale.com/">Monk&#8217;s Ale</a>, but I&#8217;ve never heard of Kevin Max Alcohol.  I can only imagine the names for their line. Jesus Freak Jin&#8230;Free at Last Firewater&#8230; Come to think of it&#8230;a lot of their songs did have some double entendre with alcohol.</p>
<p>Consume Me<br /> What if I Stumble<br /> Like it, Love it, Need it</p>
<p>Just think about it.</p>
<p><strong>alcohol crap</strong></p>
<p>I write a lot of crap about alcohol, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve done a post about alcohol crap yet.  Honestly I thought it came out in urine and sweat.  I&#8217;m not going to do the research to find out if I&#8217;m wrong or not though.</p>
<p><strong>horny in church</strong></p>
<p>Um is this a question or a statement?  If it&#8217;s a question, yes many a time.  If it&#8217;s a statement, then um&#8230;I can&#8217;t help you.</p>
<p><strong>a truely extrodinary nut sack</strong></p>
<p>I have to say that this won the award for most random search result to get someone to theBeerean.com.  It works because of <a href="http://twitter.com/gregqualls/statuses/864253953">one twitter post</a>, but I still think it is very random.  If you found theBeerean.com by using this search, I&#8217;m sorry to let you know that you will never see a truly extrodinary or ordinary nut sack here.  Sorry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just read the following <a href="http://larknews.com/november_2006/secondary.php?page=3" target="_blank">article</a> that I got from this <a href="http://islamdom.blogspot.com/2008/05/proverbs-31-husband-justifies-beer.html" target="_blank">web site</a>.</p>
<p><em><span class="infotext">MINOT, N.D. â€” Jack Crocker, a beer-loving machinist and  &#8220;part-time Christian,&#8221; finally agreed to read Proverbs with wife Reanna.  He&#8217;s glad he did.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m a Proverbs 31 husband all right,&#8221; says Jack,  then quotes Proverbs 31:6-7: &#8220;Give beer to those who are perishing, wine  to those who are in anguish; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember  their misery no more.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;That&#8217;s my permission to crack open a cold one,&#8221;  Jack says, having a Coors after dinner.<br />
But Reanna, a new church member, is pushing Jack hard to stop  drinking. She insists he is neither &#8220;perishing&#8221; nor &#8220;in anguish.&#8221;  But Jack researched the Bible on the Internet and found 2 Corinthians 4:16 and  5:2 which say, &#8220;Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are  being renewed day by day,&#8221; and &#8220;Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed  with our heavenly dwelling.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Everyone is perishing and in anguish,&#8221; Jack says.  &#8220;Until we&#8217;re delivered from these bodies, the Bible says to drink up.&#8221;<br />
As part of the escalating family tension he created a &#8220;Proverbs  31&#8243; category on their weekly budget and listed &#8220;beer&#8221; under it.  He also wants to start a Proverbs 31 Men&#8217;s Group with his buddies.<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re trying to find where the Bible talks about buffalo  wings,&#8221; he says. </span></em></p>
<p>Sounds like this guy has some man-up issues and I don&#8217;t understand the &#8220;part-time Christian&#8221; part. It sounds like the guy is trying to twist scripture to give him permission to sit around on his butt all day.  It sounds like his wife is caught up in trying to convert her husband into churchdom and not to Christ.  I must say though that I like the fact that they are budgeting.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">photo by: <strong><a title="Link to chrisscott's photostream" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cjscott69/"><strong>chrisscott</strong></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So I came by the post at <a href="http://www.hailtheale.com/2008/05/06/pbr-coffin/" target="_blank">www.hailtheale.com</a> about a guy who had his future coffin branded with Pabst Blue Ribbon (<a href="http://www.katu.com/news/weird/18566859.html" target="_blank">you can read the whole story here</a>). Anyways it got me to thinking.Â  What is most important in life?Â  What do I want to be known for?Â  If I had a chance to emblazon something on my coffin what would it be?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This guy&#8217;s 5 minutes in the spot light will be known for the fact that he loves PBR (he is using the empty coffin in the time being to store his beer).Â  Not only does he want his life to be recognized for this&#8230;but also his death (wonder how he is going out?).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I know I&#8217;ll probably never have 5 minutes of fame&#8230;but if I do, I don&#8217;t want it to be for my love of beer.Â  I want it to be for my love of Jesus.Â  I don&#8217;t want people to remember my love of a good lager.Â  I want them to remember my passion for the One that saved me.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">That&#8217;s all I have to say about that.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">P.S. &#8211; <strong><em>If</em></strong> I was going to have a beer brand emblazoned on my coffin, it would have to be Shiner Bock.</p>
