I Went To A Serbian Orthodox Mass

Recommended Posts

I went with this Serbian girl I've been working with. Most of the Serbs have left this part of Bosnia and moved the the Republic Srpska region. The Mass was fine. I've always liked the aesthetics of the Orthodox Church. Afterwards she took me to the nearby building where they hang out after Church. Bosnian Serbs may have been responsible for the overwhelming majority of the atrocities comitted during the war. And Bosnian Serb nationalism may be a major factor in the steady political deterioration of the Bosnian state. But they did give me beer. And dammit, it was good beer. Very good beer. The only lager I've ever had that I would describe as actually good rather than merely not bad. And I think they made it themselves. It wasn't in a can but rather from a tap. And any people who will give me a good lager beer at 10:30 on a Sunday morning are alright by me.

Did you forget to buy a vowel ?

Beer at 10:30 in the morning?

Are you aged enough to imbibe?

Elaborate please.

Nope. Српска transliterated as Srpska. It's the Serbian region of Bosnia. I'm pretty sure my 7 year old cousin could buy a beer in Bosnia. In fact her 5ish year old nephew was allowed to have a few swallows of beer. What yould you like elaborated?

You have elaborated well, except are you old enough to imbibe? 7 year old people drink beer, no wonder their words are so odd, they were probably stoned when they name the place! I bet if our founding fathers were knocking back the beer since age 7 we would probably have places like Nw Yrk, Phldlphia, and Bstn. lol.

Since 2005, the legal drinking age in Bosnia is 18 years. Presumably, [b]Hassan[/b] is not younger than that, so yes, he was drinking legally and is old enough to imbibe based on the laws on the nation.

I seriously doubt he was drinking enough beer at a church social to cause scandal, so I really don't know what the point of calling him out on this was?

Technically, it's not "Mass" but rather "Divine Liturgy".
