Holiday Drunk Thread

Since we're supposedly getting snowed in for the weekend, I decided today was chili makin' day. Nothing makes your house smell better than a pot with bacon, onions and garlic simmering on a stove for a few hours and some bell peppers roasting in the oven. Got myself some nice lean ground bison and leftover smoked brisket to use for the meat base.

And any of you heathens that say I need to be putting beans in my chili *cough*thabucmaster*cough* can go right off and get fucked.

 

Costco liquor store was doing a whiskey and brandy sampling today. My favorite? Black velvet reserve. It's a Canadian whiskey (no surprise; my taste buds love canadian whiskeys), but shockingly it was only $16 a handle. Part of that is costco, the other part is just the brand.

Goes to show you that just because the ingredients are cheap, doesn't mean the product will taste bad.

Exception being rot gut vodka and gin. Those hangovers last for days. You get what you pay for with that. Especially gin.

 

Cold, bitter bullshit outside. I want to watch The World's End again but that movie makes me want to drink beer like no movie I've ever seen and the fridge is dry for the night.

 

So I mentioned one of my cousins on facebook that keeps posting inappropriate stuff (and even got banned for 3 days). He had this today and you guys like asses, so enjoy:


This also led me to several wasted minutes watching plastic surgery videos. There's time I'll never get back. Why is it so addicting?

 

Out of 6 episodes only the Hound of the Baskerville's stunk. Even then it's a joy watching Cucumbersnatch ruminate on the mystery. Elementary on CBS isn't bad, but it has the same flaw as all network TV: no overlaying arc. 45 minutes to develop characters and a proper who-dunnit does not work. Then you end up with 18 mediocre episodes and 3 with actual development. Dude from Hackers does a quite good interpretation on the character, though.

All these resources, all these funds and advertisers, major networks still insist using the same formulas of the last 40 years. Nevermind that cable networks have been nipping on their heels for a decade. No, they can't be doing anything right even when Walking Dead has better ratings than most of NBC's lineup.

Oh, and does anyone else get irrationally angry watching commercials? I record anything I want to watch so I can fast forward through the insipid ads. Must have saved hours of my life doing this.

 

Before we were talking about MIA board members: somebody should locate Savage Henry. If there's one member who had no haters, it was him. He was mondo-smart and I'd give one of my fingers for a SH quotebook, dude cracked my shit up constantly. He was a member on here when it formed then split after a few weeks.

There's also people who posted on here and then faded... Primer, Creelmania, Mooseknuckle, and KIMaster despite his supreme defiance certainly made threads lively. There's nobody I wouldn't want to return, it would be the second coming of Christ if Milly tried to give it another try here. It would be hospitable to give the guy a level playing field if he did.

 

I actually just finished watching this and it wasn't bad from a documentary standpoint. If you're able to look past the wone aspect of it, I do think the underlying message about becoming almost obsessed with a professional passion was showcased very well. I really thought Brian was a genuinely hilarious dude. I'd actually watch a reality show about him. Ian came across as exactly as his friends referred to him; the "Dad" type that was the nerd in high school that studied super hard to try and be the valedictorian but just fell short and couldn't accept his own flaws. (Now, granted, I realize he officially makes it on his next try, but that was clearly made an afterthought.) The other two candidates seemed really like the need for fill-ins just to take some of the attention off Brian and Ian.

Overall, though, it was a decent film, but if you haven't seen it already, I would recommend "Jiro dreams of Sushi" as a bit of a better documentary in a similar vein.

 

I think the best documentary that followed people's lives was Hoop Dreams. Even at three hours long it was fascinating, you really get involved with the two main subjects.

Best doc of all time? The Thin Blue Line. Easily. A mind-blowing movie.

 

KIMaster was the only person who has ever lived up to the media's creepy internet asshole hype that I've experienced. He didn't like the way I was disagreeing with him on a thread a couple years ago, so he e-stalked me and then threatened to call and harass my bosses into firing me. Fuck that piece of shit in the face with a rusty chainsaw.

 

Umm....what?

 

Ditto. But not with him.

I used to be on this board under a different name, but someone(s) took things to a creepy personal level so I had to change user names for what I deemed to be my own protection. At this point, they are gone, or at least haven't posted recently. But I'm still not taking that chance.

 

Ditto. But not with him.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure he didn't also change his name and is just waiting for you to slip up. Or for SheGirl to ban you again.

 

I think as long as I leave golden boy flatwheels alone to wallow in his own self-pitty I should be fine.

 

KIM was a pedantic pain in the ass. I remember he would brag about being a child prodigy and being really good at chess as a kid. Apparently when he hit puberty he found out he wasn't so special and never recovered.

 

Wait a sec, does that count for something? Because I won multiple chess tournaments as a child too.

And then I realized there was more to life than being good at some board game no one knows how to play, I discovered masturbation, and eventually, sex.

 

God damn it, people. Its like Beetlejuice... say his name 3 times and he'll appear.

 

No, you PM him once and he does. PM goes to your email, that's how he came back last time.

 

Crown you really have to change your avatar, that thing is just worse than the gif juicy posted up a a dude humping a snow ass.
