[Lucian]

I'm enjoying a nice glass of limoncello. :9

[rurallib]

1. diet Pepsi - they support gay rights.

[Lucian]

7. Really?

[rurallib]

107. there was several threads on it about a month ago:

Here is one:

[AlCzervik]

2. Ben and Jerry's Cake batter ice cream.

and some ice tea.

[Lucian]

8. I've never had that ice cream.

How is it? Good, I take it? :)

[AlCzervik]

12. it is yummy, this is the first time i've had it.

i took a couple of lactaids and then cracked open the pint. It's yellow cake batter with a swirl of chocolate frosting.

[Lucian]

15. That sounds good!

[Drunken Girlfriend]

3. Beer

Haven't had Limoncello in ages,but it's super tasty!

Anyways,I am just drinking beer.

Cheap beer,I can't afford the good kind until
I get money in a few days.lol

[Lucian]

6. This is the first time I've ever had it...

and I love it. I wish I would've discovered this drink sooner.

[TZ]

4. apple juice.

I'm having the flu like symptoms side effects of my meds....x(

[Lucian]

9. Aw that sucks.

Feel better soon. :)

[datasuspect]

5. the marrow of life

like vikings who have just returned to their ancestral homeland after being lost at sea for 20 years.

they alight amid their kin in the resplendent glory of the strength they gained after incessant ceaseless battle with those who would defile the memory of their deeply pagan ancestors.

[Lucian]

11. O...k...

blood is a lot easier to drink. :shrug:

[hippywife]

10. Orange lemonade that I made

with fresh squeezed Meyer lemons and oranges. :9

[Lucian]

13. I can't wait to have lemonade again...

I have to wait until summer hits Minnesota.

[hippywife]

26. If you make it and drink it, then maybe

you can psych yourself into thinking it is summer. :D

[Pierre.Suave]

14. 2 for 1 MARGARITAS...

:P

[Lucian]

18. Those are the best kind.

:)

[Pierre.Suave]

27. Indeed.

Especially when served by a smoking hot waitress...

:P

[Lucian]

44. I need to get out more.

Of course, the waitresses in the Twin Cities are always smokin' hot.

[Pierre.Suave]

47. Yeah

they are...

especially in uptown, eat street (select places) and Downtown Minneapolis.

[Lucian]

55. I haven't been down that way since '93.

Back when I was a wee little lad.

[NYC_SKP]

16. None for me. Last time I passed out in the Lounge, I woke up with a knitting needle in my

white penis.

Never again.

[Lucian]

19. I don't know if I should...

:rofl: or :scared:.

[NYC_SKP]

65. If you pass out in the Lounge, don't be lying on your back, and don't be on your stomach.

Best not to pass out at all, but if you must, do it in a fetal position with arms locked around legs in a corner booth.

[Taverner]

17. Hopslam. They support Hops.

[Lucian]

20. Is that a local ale?

I've never seen it around here.

[Taverner]

22. God I WISH! I had to trade for it

From a fellow beer geek in Minneapolis

It's a Midwest beer - but I've seen it as far away as Orlando

If you're out here, let me recommend Pliny the Elder. You can get that at most Whole Foods in the bay area.

[Lucian]

38. I don't think there's a Whole Foods in MN.

Otherwise I'd be there all the time.

[Taverner]

62. Oh if YOU'RE in MN, you should be able to get it!

It's all over the place up there!

[Initech]

95. I fuckin' love Bells beers.

Hopslam and Oberon kick major amounts of ass.

[BeachBaby]

21. Vodka and Crystal Light Strawberry Kiwi.

[Lucian]

23. Mmmmm...flavored vodka.

[BeachBaby]

50. Good stuff!

:) :thumbsup:

[flvegan]

67. Me too! How bizarre that coincidence.

[BeachBaby]

69. You've turned me into a lush. It's all your fault.

[Xipe Totec]

24. My usual; Hefeweizen UFO, with a splash of vodka n/t

[Lucian]

51. What's Hefeweizen UFO?

I've never heard of it before...

[Xipe Totec]

58. Wheat beer, UnFiltered Offering from Harpoon Brewery, Boston.

Wheat beer is a beer that is brewed with a significant proportion of wheat. Wheat beers often also contain a significant proportion of malted barley. Wheat beers are usually top-fermented (in Germany they have to be by law).

German wheat beers are called Weizen ("wheat") in the western (Baden-Württemberg) and northern regions, and Weißbier or Weiße ("white beer" or "white") in Bavaria. Hefeweizen ("hefe" is German for yeast) is the name for unfiltered wheat beers, while Kristallweizen ("kristall" is German for crystal) is the same beer filtered.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_beer

[Lucian]

61. So is it stronger than normal beers?

[Xipe Totec]

68. That gets technical

If it says "beer" on the label, the maximum alcohol content is limited by US law.

If you want higher proofs, avoid anything that says beer on the label.

Look for Ale, Stout, Porter, Bitter...

Hence, the splash of vodka. (Europe has no such laws).

If you want high octane, high quality brews, I recommend Ommegang in New York. (google it, it's not hard to find).

They have a superb Stout called Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence.

:toast:

[Lucian]

70. Thanks for the info.

:toast:

[leftyclimber]

25. Bourbon and water.

Evan Williams (the cheap mass-consumption stuff, not the single-barrel).

I met a dude named that recently. I was all, "why the hell would your parents think it was funny to name your kid after booze?"

[Lucian]

52. I'm willing to bet most people wouldn't catch on to that.

At least his name wasn't "Jose Cuervo" or "Jack Daniels".

[leftyclimber]

57. True dat.

[petronius]

28. GIANT WHITE PE-- Oh wait, wrong thread

I'm drinking beer (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale), and I've already had a bunch of them...

:toast:

[TK421]

31. Peronis?

[Left Is Write]

29. Right now I am having a Deschutes Black Butte Porter.

[BeachBaby]

32. White penises, black buttes.....

we just want it all, don't we? :rofl: :hi:

[TK421]

30. This awesome beer

[no name no slogan]

33. St. Paul, MN, tapwater, filtered through a Britta system

It's not only cheap, it's delicious. :9

[Pierre.Suave]

36. you need to get out more

maybe we need a Happy Gnome Meetup!

:P

[Lucian]

40. I miss the St. Paul tap water.

The tap water here is filled with iron.

[av8rdave]

34. Water

Gotta fly early tomorrow.

[Lucian]

49. Understandable.

Where are you flying to?

[av8rdave]

56. Cincinnati to Denver tomorrow

Easy day, but then have to fly a redeye all night tomorrow night to Atlanta :(

[Lucian]

59. Good luck.

:)

[av8rdave]

74. Thanks! LOL

[Richardo]

35. Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc 2007

...+ 0.5 mg of Xanax. I had a hell of a week.

It'll be beddie-bye time pretty soon :boring:

[Lucian]

43. That's not a good combo...

[Richardo]

46. I appreciate the thought

But it's really OK.

[Lucian]

48. As long as you'll be okay...

Hopefully next week is better. :)

[Richardo]

53. Thanks, pal

It'll be OK :pals:

[Lucian]

54. ...

:pals:

:)

[Jamastiene]

37. Dr Pepper

I can't do without my Dr Pepper.

[Lucian]

41. I had one of those earlier tonight.

[Lucian]

39. Now I'm switching gears and drinking a glass of absinthe.

I never knew the Green Fairy could taste this good...

[harmonicon]

42. cheap scotch

I had cheap wine earlier.

[Lucian]

45. Cheap alcohol does the job just as well as expensive alcohol.

:)

[harmonicon]

sure does

one of the jobs anyway - the one I care about today. Generally I really love and appreciate a great drink, but today was not the day for that.

[applegrove]

60. Diet coke.

[Lucian]

63. You can never go wrong with that.

:)

[B o d i]

64. White

Russians.

What did you think I was going to say?

[Lucian]

71. Exactly that.

:)

[many a good man]

66. Liquids, mostly

I enjoy the wetness as it swirls around my mouth and goes down my throat. I don't think I'd want to drink anything else.

[Lucian]

72. Good one.

:)

Usually that's implied. I'm wondering what type of liquid are you drinking? :P

[many a good man]

79. The 3 Ws

whiskey, water, and wine. a little of the first, a lot of the second, and more than a little of the third.

[sniffa]

73. Dirty martini

Surprise

[Lucian]

75. What are those?

Is it shaken, not stirred? :P

[Arugula Latte]

76. Yum. I love limoncello.

:9

I had a glass or two of chardonnay. Also lots of water.

[Lucian]

77. Oh I do too.

I was actually looking for pastis, but happened to see limoncello on the shelf, so since I have never had it before, I thought I'd buy it. This was last night, btw.

[justabob]

78. bourbon and coke

:9

[Lucian]

81. Mmmmm...that is ol' reliable.

I enjoy those after work.

[justabob]

91. indeed

Funny that you say that about after work. I have been visiting with an old friend from work(well, my former work :( ) tonight. Bourbon is what I always used to have after work. :hi:

[1gobluedem]

80. I had five martinis

Fortunately they were all smallish -- it was an 'Artini' pub crawl benefit for the local Arts Center.

One had a piece of steak in it and another tasted like banana flavored Laffy Taffy.

[Lucian]

82. How did a piece of steak get into one of your martinis?

And I love banana flavored Laffy Taffy!

[1gobluedem]

83. It was part of the drink

They rimmed the inside of the glass with chocolate, added Grand Marnier and vodka, and stuck a bite of grilled steak on a skewer in the middle of it. The steak was good; it tasted like it had been marinated in teryiaki sauce but the drink wasn't very good; that combo was too thin and too strong to go with the chocolate. It needed some Baileys or something to make it smoother.

The Laffy Taffy one was very good and so was the lemonade-y one that was rimmed with Pop Rocks and had a skewer of bite sized jello shots across it.

[Lucian]

84. Ahhhh...I see now.

Kinda weird.

[1gobluedem]

86. It was a competition for the most artful martini

Some art is weird.

[Lucian]

88. Yeah...

but fun, nonetheless. :)

[Ellipsis]

85. .

[Lucian]

89. Mmmm...bloody mary...

[Ellipsis]

92. I raise my glass in your honor.

'Tis actually a rare mood.

[Lucian]

96. Back atcha.

:toast:

[Lethe]

87. Lone Star

again

:toast:

[Lucian]

90. Cheers!

:toast:

[kentauros]

93. Green tea and Vicodin

[Lucian]

97. Woah...

in a lot of pain? :(

[kentauros]

102. Some

I have an appointment with the endodontist on Tuesday afternoon for a root canal. That tooth has been really flaring up this evening, even with three Aleve pills in me. So, I went ahead and took the Vicodin.

I don't like to use it because my body metabolizes drugs like this slowly. So, that "every six hours" may pass for the pain-deadening portion, but the "sleep-inducing" portion lasts and lasts.

I'm on an Emergency Broadcast Network kick this evening to try and counter the sleep-inducement for a while ;)

I'll be fine (on antibiotics, too :D) but thanks for noticing :)

[Initech]

94. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale

[Lucian]

98. Good stuff.

:) :hi: :toast:

[RushIsRot]

99. I started with a couple of cans of beer, but now I'm into vodka on the rocks.

[Lucian]

101. Isn't it usually better to start off light, and then go heavy?

Or is it the other way around? :shrug:

Anyways, either way, it's all good. :)

[RushIsRot]

103. I think it's usually best to go heavy and wind up light, but I've never

had a problem with the way I approach it, so I'll continue with my solution. I use it to go to sleep.

[DuckBurp]

100. Tequila and Dr. Pepper

Can you tell I live in Texas?

[kentauros]

104. I don't normally buy Tequila

but that sounds like it might be a good combination :)

Do you use Dublin Dr Pepper? And what quality of Tequila do you use?

[DuckBurp]

105. Jose Cuervo Especial

Just regular Dr. Pepper. I drink it with anything. Rum. Bourbon. Ice.

[kentauros]

106. Okay, I've got rum

spiced and white. And some Tito's Vodka :D
