    Why is that, Lazuli?

    ^^ I've had moments like that before. Not fun, is it?
  • I notice that since I've graduated, the amount of people I talk to on a daily basis has declined very quickly and very sharply.

    I kind of don't have a life right now, and I don't really have anywhere I can go to just hang out.

    I know that feeling. *hugs*

    That's pretty normal. Relationships take a little more effort after school and you tend to have to call friends to have something resembling a social life.
  • I don't have any of their phone numbers.

    Alternately, I suppose you could just say "what friends?"

    ^^ If you have any local colleges, you can also crash meetings of groups that might do things your interested in. For instance, when I was hopping from place to place early in my career, I'd crash Anime club meetings and hang out, not one seemed to mind.
  • I'm sorry, I'm being stupid and negative and stupid right now and I'm sorry.
  • So I've spent most of the night bawling.

    But I think I'm okay now. I'm reading bash.org.

    :( *hugs*

    I went to Ted's Montana Grill, after Applebee's proved too crowded. There is a mounted bison head in there...I seem to have a recurrent fascination with bison.
  • I do not understand Steakhouses and their collective fascination with sticking animal heads on walls.

    There are three fairly nearby that have that. Two steer and one bison.

    And thank you for the hugs, Anoonus

  • Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
    Hey
  • The sadness will last forever.
    Hi

    Hi Wind Fish.

    I keep thinking that bison have deep voices.
  • They do.

    And they exaggerate their vowels liiiiiiiiiiiiike thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.

    Ok, ok, not quite. But it was a few months before AU/CA became canon, I know that.

    In addition to everything bad about Scientology, now they're scrambling to send out to all their faithfuls emails/mails/etc covering Tom and Katie's divorce and how the faithful masses can cope with this. 

    Anyway hope everyone here has the emotional strength and support to handle this earth-shattering development. There's a two year old can of Milwaukee's Best in the back of my fridge should this whole thing be too much for my fragile psyche to contain

    Huh, I doubt many places around here would put dead animals on the walls. I'm sure this would rub some people* the wrong way.

    He, I always wondered how a divorce between these two would go down. I'm sure this will just make Tom that much more "crazy" about Scientology.


    I think I tried Milwaukee's Best and don't recall liking it. Some American beers don't get the crisp lager taste just right and taste a bit off.

    Somehow Bud and Miller High Life get it right, for me.

    Milwaukee's Best is one of those American beers that scrapes the bottom. Most American beers don't deserve the scorn from beer critics and import drinkers (two groups desperate to tell you all about the uncommon, lumpy brews from a country you've never heard of in an attempt to compensate for their tiny penis size) but Milwaukee's Best really deserves the hate it gets.

    Well, Bourbon is pretty awesome. I prefer Bourbon over most alcohols, to be honest. Except for Schnapps, rum and tequila.

    This so much. Yes, there are some BAD beers in America, but we usually don't import much of it. Budweiser gets a lot of flack here, but is imported all over the place. American lagers are actually pretty delicate and take tons of work to keep the flavor consistent. Budweiser manages to taste the same basically every batch, no small feet, and it manages to get that good lager taste without some of the nasty after-taste.

    Other countries beers often have more flavor, but they're shooting for a different flavor profile than American beer anyhow. And just because they have more flavor, doesn't mean those flavors are good.

    I can see that. Bourbon has a pretty unique flavor profile compared to American beer, which is really just something of a variance on German lagers. American Bourbon's also don't get the same amount of crap that American beers do, here and abroad.

    Well, it really doesn't help that the only US beers that they sell here are stuff like Coors and Budweiser.

    > Implying Budweiser is bad

    STILL! Stella is a lot more common in bars in the U.K. than over here, and I can see how Budweiser has trouble competing. Especially draft.

    I also do not like Coors...



  • Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
    Stella is weird because its a bit stronger than UK beers but its dead sweet

    This is how you can tell that the rest of the world is full of shit whenever they start hacking on American brews. Whenever I started cracking "drink early times" jokes years ago in the comic it was because the stuff is sold in cheap plastic bottles and at the very bottom, in mass quantities, of any liquor rack at any liquor store. In fact, the label and logo design was made intentionally to look similar to Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam in a bid to leech off their credibility. A whiff of fine bourbon whiskey doesn't remind you of the last time you stripped paint, Early Times does. And these folks who criticize American beer will then turn around and order that one true bourbon of the upper crust of American spirits, Early Times. 

    The only situation that I can think of that's comparable to this is Australia's and their Foster's. I've never heard one single Australian say one good thing about that brew, ever, but here in America it's treated as a pure Aussie brew (like how Outback Steakhouse is supposed to be Australian, too)
  • In tests, previously fit and healthy people were exposed to a series of medical stories ranging from the routine ‘Red wine is good/bad for you’ to the extreme ‘Going to the toilet in Yorkshire causes cancer’.
    After a twenty day period scientists found that the cumulative effect
    of exposure to health hysteria caused extreme stress and in some cases
    physical pain, although they have not ruled out the rather hard chairs
    in the medical centre as being a contributing factor.

    The test results cause a fresh dilemma for Heath Secretary Andrew
    Lansley who will be forced to decide if he should suppress news of any
    future ‘flu epidemic in the interests of the nation’s health.

    Government officials at Whitehall are known to have already
    commissioned a study to look in to the possibility of a vaccine against
    the ravages of excessive health alerts, but, whilst trying to appear
    upbeat, scientists have gently warned that an effective vaccine may be
    some way off.

    Stella Artois is like the official beer of Toronto. Every where I went that served beer in that city made sure you were very aware that they stocked Stella. 

    Stella suffers a bit under Texas liquor laws because its alcohol content is just enough to tip it over to be qualified as a "malt liquor" which is a crime against Stella tbh

    Fosters is also not one of my favorites.


    I don't think Corona is treated as "good beer" in Mexico, but gets tons of advertising here. It's pretty low on my long list of things I like to drink. Yet, there's tons of good beer that comes out of Mexico.


    I think there's a bunch of Mexican companies that like to play off American's ignorance of alcohol. Similarly to Corona, Jose Cuervo gets advertised all the time and is just bad.

    El Jimador, on the other hand, tastes great and costs about the same amount.

    Ours is PBR...

    Fucking hipsters.

    There really are no words but "YES" to be said here.

    3A. ESSAY: IN ORDER FOR THE ADMISSIONS STAFF OF OUR COLLEGE TO GET TO
    KNOW YOU, THE APPLICANT, BETTER, WE ASK THAT YOU ANSWER THE FOLLOWING
    QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCES YOU HAVE HAD, OR
    ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU HAVE REALIZED, THAT HAVE HELPED TO DEFINE YOU AS A
    PERSON?

    I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I
    have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making
    them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic
    slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time
    efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

    I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot
    bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook
    Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a
    veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

    Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly
    defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious
    army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the
    subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large
    suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On
    Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of
    charge.

    I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie.
    Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear.
    I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I
    have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last
    summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force
    demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me
    fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

    I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.
    I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day
    and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I
    know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have
    performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week;
    when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I
    successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a
    small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

    I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On
    weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami.
    Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.
    I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a
    toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San
    Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the
    Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and
    I have spoken with Elvis.

    But I have not yet gone to college.

  • Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
    Okay

    I read the local rag today and I found out that 2 people I used to hang around with when at school narrowly avoided prison.

    One was supplying and dealing horse tranquilliser, and the other smashed someone's face in but it really makes you think what could have happened.

    One of the losers I had to suffer being at school with is currently rotting in his county jail waiting for another prison sentence for slinging meth. The funny part is another classmate from that year is now the district attorney (the youngest in the state, as a matter of fact) is the one who's sending him to the state pen. 
  • So after celebrating what an awesome morning it was I promptly fell asleep.

    Also I dreamt that I got in a knife fight with some chick and she was like impressed or something and then we fell in love because dream.

  • The sadness will last forever.
    I only just listened to Smooth Criminal. At least the one by Michael Jackson. I first heard it by Alien Ant Farm.
  • Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
    Smooth Criminal isn't even the best song on the Thriller album.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    Which is the best song on that album?
