I'm getting wicked drunk tonight. Ask me anything.

[Recursion]

(What could possibly go wrong with this thread?)

[hrmjustin]

1. What are you drinking?

[Recursion]

3. The staples are Jameson's and Miller Light

But we may hear soon from Mr. Jim Beam, and of course the Rev. Jack Daniels.

[hrmjustin]

5. I hope you ate.

[Recursion]

7. Lentils and barley in lamb stock

That's as good a base a there is

[pinboy3niner]

9. If you have Jameson...

...why would you need anything else?

[Moondog]

10. This is an excellent question.

[whistler162]

2. after you are drunk......

sdsad0 addl ,eppp [[l,d,wrsacx

[Moondog]

4. Are you drinking for any particular reason, or "just because"?

[Recursion]

6. No, just hadn't gone out to the dive in a while (nt)

[Moondog]

8. Works for me. I'm an old fart, and don't recognize the campaign ribbon. Which one is it?

[pinboy3niner]

11. Right click on it to see the URL

Global Terror.

[Moondog]

12. On an iPad so no right click. That I know of. But thanks for the info.

[pinboy3niner]

14. I'm strictly desk PC

So I can be a bit dense when it comes to capabilities of phones, pads, and other devices. Sorry.

But liking Jameson has to count for something, right?

[Moondog]

16. Absolutely. I'm usually a scotch guy, but Jameson's is truly a rare nectar.

[Recursion]

19. Salut.

Damn. So smooth. I'm drinking this one for y'all

[Recursion]

13. Global War on Terror Expeditionary Service medal

The sandbox geedunk

[Moondog]

15. I did the sandbox. The first time through. Sucked then, worse this time.

[pinboy3niner]

20. Are you posting from the sandbox now?

Or was that a recent deployment?

[Moondog]

22. No, hell no. By the first time, I meant Desert Storm.

As in a couple of decades ago. Uncle Sam allowed me to retire a little over twelve years ago.


On edit: Damn, I hate autocorrect.

On second edit: %*+}{^

[pinboy3niner]

28. Congrats on your retirement

Though I suspect it may have been disability, like mine from VN...

When Desert Shield began, I was working for a nonprofit at the VN Veterans Memorial. The WMD scenarios had me freaked out, and I started behaving strangely. Like taking a hammer and nails and putting up news stories of the first casualties on my wall. I still remember that the first two were an airman run down by a truck on a dark runway in Saudi and a sailor electrocuted aboard his ship.

Eventually I called the psychologist I knew at the Vet Center and told him I needed to see him, BAD. DS had brought back VN, and I spent a bunch of appointments crying my heart out in that psychologist's office.

Finally, I told him that I'd already processed VN before. "How many times do I have to process this shit?" I asked him. The guy was very good at his job, and well-known throughout the VA. His answer:

"As many times as it takes."

[Moondog]

36. Thanks. And welcome back.

[Moondog]

17. Anyway - Cheers! And don't hurt yourself too bad.

[pinboy3niner]

23. Thankyou for your service

Some of us old fart vets know what it's like, and we appreciate it.

[Recursion]

24. Welcome home

And you too

[elleng]

18. Watch C-SPAN NOW,

Oral Argument, Warrantless Search and Drunk Driving

Make your own decision.

[Recursion]

21. My HS gf was killed by a drunk driver

But it's too early in the night for going back there.

I'm a block from the Metro, and I never drive drunk.

[elleng]

26. Good. Don't drive.

SO SORRY about your friend.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

25. Why won't people follow the rules?????

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018282693

[Recursion]

27. Because Meta is every force of chaos and disruption

centrally located for your convenience.

You think it's dark energy that makes universal expansion accelerate? No: it's other galaxies trying to get the hell away from Meta. You think the Higgs boson doesn't exist? It does, and it's smart enough to avoid Meta

The Trolls drug too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke there under Khazad-DUm: Fire, and shadow. And Meta.

[tama]

35. That's metameta

And I'm still laughing

[pinboy3niner]

29. Well, you've got some vets here

And some combat vets, to boot. People who respect rules that make sense and are very disciplined in following them. Piddly BS rules, not so much.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

31. Ah, you just pick me because you know...

I am married to a Marine and can take you vets picking on me. That SO of mine has got my skin as tough as his!

[pinboy3niner]

38. We josh, but we'd never pick on a Marine's SO

She has enough to deal with.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

42. Yeah as I have found out, my Mother was right.

You can take the man out of the Marines, but you can't take the Marines out of the man.
And After eight years in and all the security jobs he did after he got out, the Corp. and the lessons that he learned still run deep. But that stubborn side they instill kept us going after the Tornado. I love that man more I think than I did 10 years ago the 28th of this month!

[Recursion]

47. Oorah

My fiancee has commented on that.

[Paladin]

30. I'll See Your Irish Whiskey, And Raise You Some French Chardonnay.

Obviously, my wine isn't as potent as your Jameson's---but volume of consumption is a very real factor, and I'm doing my part, tonight.

Have fun---we'll fight about guns tomorrow.....


(Updated for spelling corrections.)

[Lady Freedom Returns]

32. Can I join you?!

[pinboy3niner]

33. You have to try the Jameson first

(And it's Jameson, not Jameson's, though it's often referred to that way.)

Only after having that can you try a nice whine.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

39. Not a problem for me!

[pinboy3niner]

41. Irish toast:

'Go mbeire muid beo ar an am seo arís.'
May we be alive at this time next year.

Yay! Though I'd prefer a more optimistic toast.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

43. Hear, Hear!!!

[Recursion]

46. Hey! What's all this drinking without me?

Shame on you two.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

48. Stil plenty of time...

to catch up!

[pinboy3niner]

53. What--you're waiting for the Jameson to pour itself?

[Recursion]

34. Game on

[pinboy3niner]

37. It's just after 5pm Pacific

The playing field is not exactly level.

[Recursion]

45. I started at 6pm EST

I'll handicap you by 3 hours.

[Paladin]

59. I Hope Everybody's In Decent Shape, This Sunday Morning.

I'm doing better than I probably deserve.

[Recursion]

60. That's why I hydrate before I go to sleep

Doing great; even ran two miles. Now to find some French toast...

[XRubicon]

40. Are you from Massachusetts?

[Recursion]

44. Went to grad school there

BU, in fact, Dr. King's alma mater. I had to smack somebody who asked "why do we have an MLK memorial here?" We used to do vigils for MLK day.

[XRubicon]

49. I grew up there

"wicked" and "like a bastard" are big in Mass.

[libodem]

50. R U way-stad, yet, dooode?

I'm just getting my first glass of vino. Salute'!

[Recursion]

55. Oorah (nt)

[Grantuspeace]

51. I usually drink beer. It seems like I can wait a long time to use the restroom.

But once I pee the first time I need to go every 15 minutes. Whats up with that?

[Recursion]

52. The answer, Grantuspeace, has to do with pressure differentials

We all know there is a separate bladder that holds alcohol, just as there is a separate stomach that holds dessert (ask any kid). The *initial* trip to the bathroom only empties the non-alcohol bladder. However, that "normal" bladder is holding the alcohol bladder in check by pressing on the series of tubes that lead to it. Once you remove that non-alcohol pressure, the alcohol has nothing keeping it from coming out.

[pinboy3niner]

54. I have no idea what that meant, but I'll drink to that!

[Recursion]

56. Cheers, sir

To wives and sweethearts. May they never meet.

[TrogL]

57. Is that guy still there?

[Recursion]

58. No, dude split

Said it was a sausagefest.
