Remember, though, that a chaser in this context will earn you almost as much scorn as making a face. Apparently a 2012 presidential candidate referred to the "subway-riding elite." Now there's a phrase that made me do a doubletake. Last time I checked, the subway is often full of mariachi players and homeless people who pooped themselves. Who knew these were America's movers and shakers?
Is she hot? Owe them what? Owe them a date with a girl? Really? I'll admit to a vast cultural ignorance so far as "brown people" child/parent relationships go but you have to pay them back for educating you by going on a date with a woman of her choosing? Go on the date. What can it hurt? Do be sure to tell the girl that about 75% of the reason you are buying her dinner is because your Mother wanted you to.
What kinds of scotch have you had before? If this scotch-tasting party is any good, there'll be a wide variety of flavors, ranging from light and appley to more of a warm chocolate or coffee. Hopefully you'll find *something*.
Today I got two leads for jobs in Chicago. Don't I just feel like the prettiest girl at the ball? Hopefully, this potentially means being able to move sometime in May/June as opposed to August-ish. I may actually have to join in on the drinking tonight.
I've had "Whatever Somebody Put in a Glass and Handed to Me." I think this is a deal where people are bringing different kinds, so I have no idea what will be there. I'm working on a buzz now, though.
Protip: the older the Scotch the more acceptable it is to throw it back and chase it with a coke. You should just bust in there screaming you have strawberry soda to mix the scotch with. After your first shot ask aloud to no one in particular, "This one was spoiled. It tastes like they burned it." Bourbon is better than Scotch. I went there. Start some shit.
Is is acceptable to mix Scotch and Kool-aid powder? It's called a Billy Dee Williams, and it is...so smooth.
I got yer back, brah. Shadowbox and scare 'em a litte. As a Canadian, it's considered treason that I like bourbon better than rye, but there ya go. The USAs make a bourbon called Knob Creek that I think is to die for, and everybody loves Maker's Mark. Jack Daniel's isn't "bourbon", but just CALL IT BOURBON. And I love it too. I like bourbon AND rye more than scotch. Throw me a switchblade, Johnny!
I'm not entirely sure the complete list of social norms and awkward silences this could cause but for all that is sweet and holy, please do this. Jack Daniel's tastes like piss as far as I am concerned, but I will agree with Knob Creek being an enjoyable beverage.
This talk about scotch make me realize that I have an unopened bottle of JW Black that's been on my liquor shelf for literally 10 years. Is there any reason I shouldn't go downstairs and bust that fucker open and pour myself a glass?
Rum > All Looks like I may end up hammered this afternoon. It's been bucketing down rain all week so cricket is cancelled and the club is heading to our sponsors for the day. Also apparently on Australia Day last week I put someone in a choker hold until they were going blue but have no recollection of this and I'm not a violent person either so either he upset me a lot or I thought it was a game. He is transferring from the Air Force to the Navy so he probably deserved it.
