What's with that short snippet that looked like he was at a bar in his stupid white mask/green cloak costume and he was yelling at someone off-screen that he's autistic?

That’s from one of the last halloweens when he got kicked out from Frosty’s because trolls kept calling the bar like fags.

He is starting to look like the toxic waste guy from Robocop.

Very little can beat the no-nonsense laid back "chillin" of old apartment Cobra. Just watchin a weirdo doing his thang. Simple as, toobs.

Watching this dude eat a burger was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.

This thread is inevitably going to make me start making my own wine/mead. I've learned so much from yall.


Cobes looks like total shit. It's said a million times he looks like a bloated corpse but he somehow looks worse everytime I see him. It's hard to pinpoint botulism on someone who naturally has the side effects of it on a day to day basis.

Same here. It doesn't look like there's that much of an investment to do it and it's good to have little projects. We could start our own Gothic Mead Club, dood.

I'm going to derail for a moment for the people inquiring about mead/wine making. If any of you cool cobras wanna get started, take a look on Amazon. You can find all the equipment you need to get a very basic brewing system for under $50.

You can also buy a pre-fab kit, but I personally like buying the components individually.

At the bare minimum you need:

- A glass gallon jug (however, you can use a well cleaned, plastic gallon jug, if you just want to experiment with a first time tester batch to see if you want to commit to this hobby). If you have the funds, I recommend buying two jugs, as you will need a second, clean jug for the siphoned liquid.

- An airlock. You can find glass jugs sold with the airlock, or buy one separately. As mentioned in this topic, a plain rubber balloon, placed over the mouth of the jug with a tiny pinprick hole to top is a fine airlock to start and see if you like this. You don't need to "burp" your jug.

- Brewers yeast. Buy it in sachets or in bulk baggies. Don't use baking instant rise yeast please. Usually one sachet per 100-120oz of fluid is all that's needed but read the instructions on the yeast first.

- Several feet of plastic tubing. You will need this to siphon the top layer of liquid off the dead yeast sediment. Unroll the plastic tubing and place it somewhere where it can remain straight so its easier to handle when feeding it into the jugs.

- Organic juice. (Once again, if you are just starting off, you can just buy something super cheap like Kroger 100% apple juice in those 32oz bottles for like $2 )

This, honestly, is all you need as a beginner.
As you get more experience, you can buy different types of yeast (some are better for campaign, some are dryer, some are sweeter, etc.). You can also buy yeast nutrient powder to help enhance the yeast and keep it alive longer. You can buy huge 3 gallon glass jugs, or smaller wine sized bottles, hydrometers to measure estimated potential alcohol, and a good cooking thermometer with a long needle to check temperature if you are cooking your own mashes. I also recommend, if you don't have it already, a big wooden spoon, and a large stainless steel cooking pot that can hold at least a gallon of fluid.

Meads and wines are a little easier to do than beers, IMO. If you are just making a starter batch, don't worry about adding extra sugar or honey. As stated before, plain kroger brand 100% apple juice is fine on its own, and just by itself will yield about 5-7% alcohol. Not super high, but in between a beer and a wine.


Edit: Optional, but I also recommend getting yourself a small notebook and keep track of whatever you brew. Make a note of what yeast you used, the juice, how much sugar the juice contains per ounce and total amount, the total amount of fluid, etc. Also note the time and date that you pitched the patch (added the yeast and airlock), when 1st fermentation ended (the airlock most stops bubbling) and how long you let 2nd fermentation continue. It's extremely satisfying creating a great tasting wine/mead/cider, and then being able to recreate the recipe.

I was informed by a famous experimental Brewer that smells good that all I need was a condom that doesn't fit me and a hair tie, get blocked from this thread trole

Josh just needs to shave his head already. Even if being bald makes him look like a thumb, it's better than looking like a cracked out Gollum. Also he was definetly huffing in his newest video. You can hear the demonic voice.

At the bare minimum, he just need to shave off the few scraggly whispy long hairs lingering around the middle of his head. He can keep the skullet going but those few stray hairs make him look like a lolipop that rolled underneath the couch.

Shut up trole, he's a seasonally decorated gourd.



If no one else does it next year, I'm ordering this and slapping it on a butternut squash, thereby creating the most biblically accurate Cobra.

Somehow that wig simultaneously has too much and too little hair.

Just like our boy has WAY TOO MUCH and wayyyy too little chompers in that mouth.

bare minimum

I tried the absolute bare minimum one time and it worked out surprisingly well:
- Buy a bottle of pure juice (no preservatives and not from concentrate)
- Remove 1-2 cups of the juice to create some empty head space in the bottle
- Pour 1 cup of sugar into the bottle
- Cap it and shake up. Remove the cap
- Chuck a packet of yeast in
- Place a baloon with a pinprick on it over the neck of the bottle
- Leave bottle in dark cupboard for a week or two

The main hack here is using the bottle the juice comes in as a sanitary container, skips all the cleaning bullshit.

did a similar recipe from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8sVCfGTTjA
1 packet was used for 2 2 quart grapes and 1 2 quart apple juice.
no balloon needed, just twist the cap a bit so it bounces when you squeeze the bottle

grape tasting after 3 weeks: im not a seasoned drunk but id estimate its abv strength as slightly greater than store bought wine ive had before. it is cloudy and doesnt smell great but id say the taste is not bad at all. i am a fan of sweet wines so i enjoyed the taste more than any store dry wine i have had. the apple juice one i started at the same time isnt done yet, still a great many bubbles forming and rising in it.

If we're sharing mead recipes this is the best one I've ever come across.

I've made a lot of different meads and beers but to me, this one is the winner.
