Actually, that's the way I wanted to spell the word at first. But somehow, it looked more "wrong". I should just trust my instincts more.

As the Beast (an opponent on a quiz show) says - "Go with your gut."

Nice idiom.

A whole bottle isn't all as bad as it sounds. Real alcoholics tend to start in the morning when they get up and not stop. A whole bottle wouldn't last until lunch with them.

There are no "real" alcoholics, since there are no "not real" alcoholics. You can be an alcoholic if you drink one bottle of wine each day. You can be an alcoholic if you don't drink anything, except for some weekends, where you drink huge amounts of alcohol... you can also be an alcoholic, if you drink only one glass of wine as a stress reliever each day... or you just drink the wine, because you want it, not because you NEED it.

I stand corrected.

Well, my grandfather used to be an alcoholic (he died a long time ago. If the alcohol had something to do with it, I don't know. But it is possible), so it's a very personal matter... and that's why I know quite a lot about alcoholics.

I've had something called Firebomb or Firebird. Well, whatever it was. I was drunk. But yeah, you might want to start listing off bad drinks that are in the UK.

It's more easy to simply list the good drinks. :P

Cider, for example.

Can we start with Guinness? I know it's not cider but it's still a good start.

I've never tried it, so I can't say anything about it. But lots of people I know say that Guinness isn't really that great. But Kilkenny is nice! I know, it's Irish and not British... but who the hell cares.

I've never been a huge Guinness fan, though I did recently try their new Black Lager which I enjoyed thoroughly. Have any of you guys every tried your hand at homebrewing? I bought a starter kit about a year or so ago and have done a few batches since. It's a must-try if you're feeling adventurous and love beer. :P

Alice Cooper did a couple of bottles of Jack Daniels a day, in the 1970s - he looks that old now, because of it. But the good thing from his point of view is that now his age (He'll be 65 in a few months) is catching up his looks. Not a drop since 1978.

This is true, but it's just so much easier to reach Supreme Commander. You might reach SC in a couple years (or less -though that's no longer possible these days) but leveling up in exp. is something that's ALWAYS there. I would imagine that it would be slightly sad to finally reach the final level and be done leveling on NG for good in both exp. and b/p.

Let's hope he keeps it that way. That's another thing Craig Ferguson talked about: He doesn't have a drinking problem, but a thinking problem.

If you won't pursue it, then I will!

Not sure I'll get there, but oh well...

Wish me luck, I'm off to work in 10-15 minutes and I still need to get ready...

I did it 5k+ posts! How Viewtiful is that shit!

Would any of you be happy to know that I've drawn Pokemon dragon porn for the BBS?

Nice.

And that's my double achievement weekend over and done with. Next is either 30k posts (which is taking forever) or 31k EXP. We'll see what I get.

Can we have some snow from you?

You can have all the snow you want. As long as I don't have to deal with this shit.

Yeah, a bit of it should be fine and dandy here, especially for Christmas.

* Humans only.

Says who?

Why should I even apply to it?

Fuck those guys, Guinness is an awesome drink. I'll bring Dean in here to back me up on that!

If you can ever get your hands on it, you should try out Owusu Dark. It's an african beer: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/owusu-dark/57918/

That stuff is viscous! Quite an experience.

IF I do see it anywhere.

Homebrew made from a high-quality extract kit is actually quite good. Not to mention that the beer you make yourself is the best beer you'll ever taste, believe me. :P Maybe others wouldn't agree, but who gives a shit what they think. lol

I'll take the safer route here. ;)

You mean you haven't sorted that out yet?

I hope that all works out for you.

So, I've decided to start congratsing some people. I've been considering it during nearly all of my active streaks on this site, so what the hell:

The following users have the amazing privilege of being part of my first-ever LUL congrats list:

wismty: 10 years on NG
Bahamut: 30,000 exp, level 53
Spretznaz: 20,000 medal points
Winrar1337: Level 19
Pokemonpoeguygcn: level 39
LiquidFire: 24,000 B/P
24901miles: 50 scouts -a unique achievement, for sure. :P
Wegra: 5,000 posts

So, I'm digging the new friends list addition, but I must say that it makes me slightly sad as the vast majority of my friends on here are no longer active. :'(

I guess I'm close to 4 years of inactivity, then. I'm just glad I already got to Supreme Commander while the portal was still more active than it is now.

Yeah, me too. I would hate to be in that last stretch from Commander to SC with the Portal the way it is these days -it took long enough with a 90 to 100 a day pace!
That reminds me of when I first broke into the top 300 b/p'ers. I recall you being horrified that I was going to pass you! No worries now, eh? :P

There's been nothing but fog and rain around here lately, which is slightly unusual for New England this time of year... Not to mention we had next to no snow all last winter.

And we're currently the same level. This makes me feel significantly better about my own situation. :P

Would they be offended at a gift card? (You know, due to lack of thought/creativity?) That or cash is always the easy way out...

I'm currently "gunning" for 2K. Hell, this last 1000 is only going to take me a minimum of 4 1/2 years to get. :(

Fine. Keep it up towards Merseyside. So long as the M5 between Birmingham and Gloucester remains clear, I will be happy.

Damn, it is normally a CD and DVD, I never know what to get them.

Well, my dad nearly lost a photo of mum from before I was born, wgen his wallet fell apart, so that was a no-brainer, to be honest.

Technically?

If my dad died today, I wouldn't even be sad for him. No father who has no idea of my medical conditions deserves any love.

You're in luck then because you can see it right here (NSFW).

No doubt about it. I also like Kopparberg but you really can't beat a pint of Guinness.

Snow tends to be harder to stick here than anywhere else so good luck with that.
