How did you get this out of my post? Of course I've had ginger ale. There's some debate whether Vernor's is ginger ale at all.
If we're imagining (and why not), then I think that in that scenario, that caveman is already pretty stressed out before the miss. Either he's desperate for food -- because why in the world would he want to hunt and eat a saber-tooth tiger when there would be easier and more tasty prey -- or, he stumbled on that tiger and is spear throwing out of self-defense.
My bad. I misread the question marks in your post as connoting "What is this stuff?" and not "Is Vernor's ginger ale or ginger soda.". It's my favorite as a stand alone, but like others said, Canada Dry makes for a better mixer. It still boggles my mind that bars here don't have it on their soda guns. Bartenders here have tried to convince me that Dr. Pepper is the universal mixer. To them I say, "FIE!"
I had to help bring el husband's gear down to the car. Now I am in that limbo time where I'm awake but it's still 30 min til dawn. Woooo......
Is anybody else checking in on that hostage / bunker thing in Midland City, Alabama? [I'm curious about it because I worked on a project a few years ago almost across the street from the crisis site. I just saw an interview with the Mayor I worked with. "City Hall" is in an old house, and the Council meetings are in the dining room.] Anyway, they've indicated that negotiators are communicating with the psycho guy through a PVC pipe that leads into the bunker. Can't they just pump some kind of gas into the bunker that would put them both to sleep? Then, they just rip open the bunker door with a back hoe and take them out? Or, do I watch too much TV? I mean, it's day 3.
So I've been pumped full of ceftriaxone. The doc initially screwed up the script so my pharmacy staff thought I had gonorrhea until I showed them my extremely swollen right hand and realized "uh, no, that needs more than one tablet of suprax". And the nurse (a good friend of mine actually) kind of had a rough time with my veins so my left elbow is pretty sore. The physiatrist happened to walk by and said hello and asked what I was doing there, looked at my hand, and said "are you working monday? no? well... uhh, if that doesn't get better, make sure you call me." Gonna be a fun couple of days.
If the movie Speed taught me anything, it's that they should bring in Keanu Reeves to just shoot the kid in the leg. It seemed to confuse Dennis Hopper for a couple seconds.
I was thinking along the same lines, but I was thinking of tear gas; I mean, yeah, there would be some collateral damage with the kid, but at least it would get the standoff over with. Your idea is better. In other news, it's Li'l Bandit's birthday today! The Ice Cream Cake Girl and I are going to take him and some of his friends out for pizza and a movie, maybe ice skating.
You guys realize that gas doesn't work instantaneously, right? And that if the hostage-taker starts noticing gas being pumped in, he might, you know, hurt the hostage in retaliation?
Yeah and you risk the whole Russian theater debacle by accidentally killing everyone with the wrong amount of gas.
In Soviet Russia, hostage negotiators kill you! Also, am I the only one here who's been exposed to tear gas?
Re: Re: Drunk Thread Tear gas sucks, got hit with it in the MSU riots, had contacts in at the time and it felt like they were fused to my eyes.
Re: Re: Drunk Thread Aren't both of ya'll white? If you would just wear your standard issue collard shirt and khakis none of that shit would have happened.
I guess the collard greens I was carrying around didn't help, next time I will bring a collared shirt.
Winter Weather Rant: It's 18 degrees after it being in the 60's a few days ago...make up your god damn mind!! Missed my first class and an in class writing assignment due to the overnight snowfall and accident on the highway. Turning my commute into an almost 2 hour drive instead of the usual 30 minutes. Godfather Baby will make it better.
