I know some things you can hold against him. My niece and nephew carved their first pumpkins today: The neighbors are going to wonder why there are glowing gourds on their street.
Never frighten a chef. Has someone already used that joke? Fuck it. Suck a grown camel's dick. Oktoberfest party tonight. One of my druggie acquaintances asked me to hit up his party too. Loose women, free booze. Possibilities. For having tried the pot 5 times and coke once, I know a shit ton of drugged out people. Not recreational users, but pill and coke addicts. On an unrelated note I am jamming the shit out of Bill Withers. No one will ever be as cool as a black guy in the 70s with a Leslie organ.
I want to make a fake cocktail for my Halloween party tonight....something like this anybody know how I could do that?
I guess I could do that, but I was just thinking it would be better if it had ice cubes that weren't going to melt and something that wasn't going to spill. But yes, much easier. Actually more like tea to get that scotch/bourbon color.
Use gelatin to make the ice cubes, Mya - that way they won't melt in the drink. And iced tea would give you that lighter colour. If it's too dark, just lighten it with seltzer or something.
If there is a hobby store near you that deals in model trains, you can try and get the stuff they use to simulate water and then fill a glass with it and get some of those reusable ice cubes they sell. Other than that? Maybe a brownish colored jelly candle and some clear pieces of plastic? There are a bunch of online sites that sell them, but it doesn't look like there is anything in a local store that stocks them regularly.
Dilute some molasses to get that really dark, rich whisky colour. You only need a drop or two. If no molasses, make caramel from sugar like this guy describes:
Thanks guys, lots of good ideas. You are all a wealth of knowledge, it is kind of funny that no matter what type of "hmmm, I wonder how" question that you ask here, somebody always has an idea. Oh, and here are the non-stripper feather shoes that I was drunkenly babbling about last night. Still trying to decide if I can wear them comfortably and if i will wear them enough to justify the cost. And shut your mouths, they are adorable no matter what you all say. Spoiler
Suddenly I have the urge to get out my wallet and throw dollar bills around. And we don't even have dollar bills in this country.
They aren't even the slightest bit stripperish, not high enough, not a platform, nice grey suede. I can see maybe if the stripper was going the sexy librarian route with a bun and little glasses but nah, not stripperish (but I will take your dollar bills regardless to replenish the shoe fund)
Whatever. Perception is nine tenths of the law. In unrelated news, people don't mention "upper middle class" in conversation without an agenda.
I repped this too, but even those don't look remotely stripper to me. And we need context regarding the conversation. I think upper middle class is a pretty good classifier. What is considered middle class is huge, so spans people who are getting by paycheck to paycheck and those that aren't quite in the "1%"
How about these? (No, they didn't get purchased. But they were good for a giggle.) Spoiler And yes, that is a change slot in the platform of that shoe.
Mya, you could also go to a hobby or hardware store and get a resin that dries that color and fake ice cubes from a party store or something. Even Gorilla glue could work, pour into a glass you don't want and bam, no spill drink. Or, you know. . . just constantly have a real cocktail in your hand.
Well that's exactly it. "Middle class" can mean whatever the hell you want it to mean, and usually changes definition with who you're talking to. In the context of this conversation, it was me talking about how my sense of humour often outweighs my sense of self-preservation. To which she replied, "Well of course, you're white, male, and upper-middle class. Nothing can touch you." The person who said this will, in all likelihood, significantly out-earn me next year. There were other things discussed, but I'll leave them out. Whenever I hear talk like that, I like to re-read this article: <a class="postlink" href="http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/08/love_the_way_you_lie_with_me.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/08/ ... th_me.html</a> So much of the annoying people you see on TV can be explained by that last paragraph: they don't really care about what they're talking about, but they believe they do, and have to project the identity that they are that kind of person. And if they're annoying you and they don't fall into this category, they are cynically using other people's beliefs to make money. I guess you can give the latter credit for being honest with themselves.
Well, considering you are a recent college grad and have only recently (or will soon) entered the job market, this was probably referring more to your upbringing than your current place. Maybe you have struggles that we don't know about here, but based on your posting history you don't seem to have had to go through the struggles that lots of us went through when we were in college with balancing work/finances/school. Maybe I am wrong, but I have never heard you refer to yourself as a poor starving college student. What you will be in the future is kind of irrelevant in that context because you aren't quite there yet. I am sure that there was much more about the conversation, but there is my outsiders take on it and based on your internet "persona" I can see where she gets that impression.
