Vodka has its good points but I'd drink it tonight even if it didn't.

[crim son]

THAT is all!

[The Straight Story]

1. I'll drink to that!

Hell, I'll to drink to anything that is something :)

If I fart it means my ass is working, which means I am alive, which is a good enough reason to celebrate by having a shot :)

[crim son]

2. And THAT, my friend, makes you a wise man!

:rofl: :toast:

3. To quote from a book I'm reading:

"Whereas wine or beer usually made for an acceptable degree of intoxication, vodka provided its consumer with the quickest possible path to oblivion. The point of the stuff was to get falling-down drunk as quickly as possible."
From "The Life and Times of Grigorii Rasputin" by Alex de Jonge, 1982 by Coward, McCann and Geoghegan.

That quote stood out to me :)

[crim son]

5. Is "Subtlety" your middle name?

:rofl:

[rockymountaindem]

9. I'm just an informed consumer

who likes Russian history. Your vodka experience may vary from that of the young Mr. Rasputin in a Siberian alleyway during the late 1880s. For instance, I doubt you'll fall face-down in a pile of snow right now :)

[crim son]

12. Nor will I withstand poisoning and gunshot wounds.

Although if somebody tries to poison me and shoot me tonight, I'd like to emulate Rasputin!

[Nevernose]

16. Why do you deny me my rights as an American?

If I want too be stabbed and shot and poisoned and fall down in a pile of snow right now, then by god, I WILL! America-hating commie bastards like you can't stop me!

:Cue Lee Greenwood "Proud to be an American ":

:Cue Nevernose falling face-down in a pile of snow:

:toast:

[crim son]

18. Laughing.

My friend, I am not strong enough to pick you up out of the snow but I will shoot you once more and then pour a shot of vodka down your trembling throat. I'm as patriotic as the next person! :rofl:

[Nevernose]

19. That's it? Your solution is more vodka?

Why don't you just throw me in the river already and be done with it?

I'm going to stagger over to the other room, and sing of my patriotic patriotism to my 100% AMERICAN chihuahua dog, who is smart enough to not only to avoid vodka. but also (apparently) to avoid me entirely when I've been drinking. Where the hell is my dog...

[crim son]

20. Have I been dating your dog?

I can't find the bastard either....

[JTG of the PRB]

4. I used to love Vodka.... Until, one night, it betrayed me...

A tragic story, to say the least.

[crim son]

7. I once had a similar relationship with peppermint schnapps.

She's tried to apologize but the fact is that we will never again share that connection I once cherished. :P

[JTG of the PRB]

10. I suppose I shouldn't generalize... It was RASPBERRY Vodka that did me in.

Raspberry vodka, mixed with Sprite for an hour or so, and then just straight shots...

*shudder*

[crim son]

13. I can't even read that without shuddering along with you!

As a teenager I drank everclear and rootbeer one night and suffered evil consequences. I'm 44 and still don't like rootbeer.

[JTG of the PRB]

15. The worst part was the next morning...

I had to crawl to my room from the living room because I couldn't stand up... I recall clinging to my bed for dear life because the room was spinning so fast I honestly thought I was going to fly into the opposite wall.

So the next morning, I woke up with the worst hangover I have ever had, stumbled into the kitchen to get some water, and nearly threw up... Because not only had we spilled some of the raspberry vodka on the counter, but we left the bottle open alllll night... The kitchen REEKED of it.

[crim son]

17. Eh, that sounds awful!

I ended up puking on my schnapps night which was also a special night with a *new* man. The next morning I thought I'd die but faked living because he wanted to take me out for breakfast and then shopping. I still remember the desperate feeling I had when faced with the menu... all those freaking omelettes! OMG...

[WindRavenX]

21. lol, hello freshman year!

:rofl:

Yeah...to this day,I can't deal with the smell of raspberry vodka. Makes me violently nauseous.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

6. ...

:hug:

[crim son]

8. ...

:cry:

Not really. I don't cry.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. But you accept hugs, I hope.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[crim son]

14. I do. I will.

You are a fine friend, SA. Thank you. :hug: :loveya: :hug:
