Talk:Olde English 800

message: Olde English 800 used to be Olde English 600, and has been around since at least the 1950s. Here is a picture of a old steel flat-top Olde English 600 can, filled by Bohemian Breweries in Spokane, Wash. http://www.breweriana.com/starkflat/starkflats020708/flatoldeeng10840.html 66.189.180.66 (talk) 17:23, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Could someone please quote the line from "mama said knock you out" which references OE?  I know the lyrics by heart and I think the line the article is referring to is "diggin a hole, pass the old gold".  LL is not referring to the beer but rather weight lifting powder.
::The line in the song which references Old E is "Old English fill my mind and I came up with this funky rhyme."  It's the last line in the chorus, which is repeated about 4 times throughout the song.  The quote you have isn't in there, but is close to two lines which are: "Diggin' and drillin' a hole.  Well I'll pass your goal."  The full lyrics can be viewed here.  --Brownings 10:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Or at least one that enables only registered users to post? That "scrotum enhances flavour" content really put me off and is unencyclopaedic to say the least.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.27.196.35 (talk) 02:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be nice, but not much chance we can get it locked.  Unless an article is heavily vandalized to the point where a couple of people can't keep it cleaned up, then the admins will lock it.  Otherwise, they just expect the article regulars to keep an eye on things.  If it keeps up, over the next couple of days, we'll reengage and push for the lock.  --Brownings 03:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Olde English isn't really a cheap beer. In it's "popular" 40 oz. form it is the same price as Miller, Budweiser and their brethren. Many 40oz malt liquors are cheap, but this isn't one of them. In my market, for example, they all cost ~$2.00, while other malt beverages served in this size go for $1.00. Other markets may tax differently, but the price is usually the same as other "non-cheap" beers. This reference to being able to get drunk quicker for the price needs to be removed because not only is it inaccurate, but it's also almost deragotory.

message: I removed the last few sentences at the beginning of the article regarding Canadian tax laws. These have no merit to an article pertaining to this beverage and were a distraction from the main focus of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by FreddyPickle (talk • contribs) 14:31, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

message: How about adding that the beverage has appeared in the game F.E.A.R. Old English as Old  Bum http://screenshot.xfire.com/screenshot/natural/10ee0b65816641777a21058590f9b9d16e3fc144.png  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.54.65 (talk) 12:35, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Does any one know if/where OE is available in Europe? There seems to be some uncertainty.

message: So, today, someone added the alternative name "nigger fuel."  I can't tell if this is a name used in sincerity by drinkers of the product, or if it's a just a piece of vandalism.  A quick search turns up no evidence that this is a common name for the drink.  While I know Wikipedia is not censored, we generally (if I interpret policy correctly) want to include controversial info only when it's reliable.  So, I'd prefer to see some evidence that said name is correct and not vandalism before keeping.  Qwyrxian (talk) 01:10, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I was looking through my North American Beer Cans (Volume I) and North American Beer Cans (1975-1988), both published by the BCCA and all references to OE800 prior to 1981 list the brewer as the Blitz-Weinhard Brewery of Portland, OR.  After 1981 all reference are to Pabst through 1988.  Would a couple of Beer Can Collectors of America (now Brewery Collectibles Club or America) beer can guides be sufficient documentation to modify the early history portion?
