Preferably MacCutcheon's.

I basically sip at all alcohol, unless I need a beer really badly.

I dabbled with scotch for years, always kind of liking it but never loving it. Then I discovered bourbon and now I am a full-on whiskey drinker. It's great.

And G-Man, of course you're supposed to sip whiskey. It tastes too good and is too expensive to shoot.

One can also swig whiskey.

Agreed. The speed at which whiskey should be consumed is inversely proportional to the price paid for the whiskey.

You are making me quite thirsty.

I hate beer
a lot.


Give me literally any kind of wine
or anything that sounds pretty feminine and I'll gobble it right up.

Also shots of tequila

Bourbon doesn't give me hangovers and I can drink a lot of it without really getting drunk, just buzzed. It's weird, because it's the only liquor that effects me like that. Scotch and gin give me terrible hangovers, so does rum. I don't really drink vodka much, and tequila is the devil so I stay away from it.

That's how I feel with red wine. No hangovers, just a real healthy buzz.

I also sip it, like everything I drink.

Yeah, I can drink a lot of red wine without hangovers either, but I'm more of a beer guy generally.

It just occurred to me that maybe the 200 zillion antidepressant ads I have to constantly watch on Youtube are because pharmaceutical companies think only depressed people watch Youtube.

If that's true then their marketing department is grossly incompetent.

I have yet to find a sexy singles in my area.

Actually there have been studies that correlate certain internet habits to depression.

I haven't seen an ad on the internet in a long time.

A long time ago I taught a class on surrealism. In preparing for it, I read that poem and many others. Great!

Did anyone notice we broke the most users online record yesterday?

Huh. Wonder what caused that.

Spambots, probably.

3 cheers for spambots?

Yay spambots!

Or maybe not.

Yeah, it definitely had to be spambots; it was at almost 3:00AM.

Hamish is also now trying to figure out crawling. Too soon, buddy, too soon. I like you immobile.

Thats a real cool name.

DharmaHelper wrote:Thats a real cool name.

Right? It's like when you're doing really well, but not to the extent of showing off.

Ex. "That ball player is going hamish on his opponents."

Or a slightly over the top acting performance. "Christopher Walken was a bit hamish in that film."

What a cute little turnip head!

Oh man, those days seem so long ago now for me. Lilah just hit 13 months. You're in for a treat though, because he's coming up on the span where they start figuring things out. It's an amazing process.

Firstborn is months away from double digits.

I tremble. I quake.

That fucking time Epignosis responded to literally every single one of my posts in a color coded pissing contest in Death Note Mafia was pretty lit

That took me nine hours. I'm not kidding.

Fun times.

DharmaHelper wrote:That fucking time Epignosis responded to literally every single one of my posts in a color coded pissing contest in Death Note Mafia was pretty lit

LOL, that was so awesome.

Death Note is still my favorite game I've hosted for sure. That game was something special.

Favorite Syndicate game? Oh man, that's a toughy. Death Note is definitely in the top 3 on that list.

The most recent Game of Champions was pretty epic too, and kinda ridiculous. I managed to win as a neutral vanilla survivor.

And to round out the top 3: Hmm...... It's tough to pick a game where I lost. I'd probably go Talking Heads for one of my better civ performances, and an epic game all-around.



Best game I hosted? I'd go Tree Mafia. That had the best civilian comeback I've ever seen. Diiny, motel room, and MP had the civilians in LYLO with all three being alive, and MacDougall and Floyd (among others) pulled off the upset. It was incredible!

I'm hard pressed to think of the best game I've ever hosted. I don't think I've ever had one go to lylo up to this point. Mostly what I enjoy is wreaking mechanical havoc upon everyone and watch them try and resolve it all. And basically all of my games do that, so...

I love that too.

Both games I've hosted so far broke posting records, featured mechanics/powers that caught people off guard, went to Lylo, and featured one living player at the end. True to form, I doubt I would have enjoyed playing either of them, so I can't pick a favorite.

I think my favorite game that I played is still Economics. A lot of good stuff came out of that game: my new zany reputation for shenanigans, my Joker meme, Coward, dog pee, and a healthy distrust of Golden.

That game literally went down to the wire. A Lylo standoff until the last three minutes? Nuts. It sucked to lose but it was a fun ride.

That time I came up with a master plan to frame and lynch Lizzy during the GoC was pretty fun.

Favorite game I hosted? Probably my first on LP (pixar)... both horrifically bad and wonderful experience.

Turnip Head and I take full responsibility for that healthy distrust of Golden.
