Its been raining all day, it will drop below freezing and continue to rain/sleet tonight, and it is supposed to rain/snow tomorrow morning. Still, my semi-psychotic brother and his friends decided they still wanted to get together to play our annual Thanksgiving Day football game tomorrow. Last year, it was wet and muddy, but not actually raining, which made for an interesting game. Tomorrow is going to be fucking miserable. It is going to be around 32 degrees, wet, muddy, and if we're lucky the ground won't be frozen so solid that we kill ourselves tackling each other. I have a feeling that participating may be the worst idea of the year, and yet I can't resist.
People in the Recent Movie Review thread are getting into a heated debate over the new Harry Potter movie. Correct me if I'm wrong, but were these books not written for eleven-year-olds?
Original Plan: Thanksgiving Eve pub crawl. Weather: 6 degrees with windchill of -10. New Plan: Whiskey and The Walking Dead next to a roaring fire.
How do you Canadians pick teams anyway? Shouldn't you all be shithawk fans or something? Maybe the bills too since they're close to you? Anyway, I can't wait for tomorrow. I'm flying half the day, which sucks, but I'll get there in time for the big meal. I've had random family members messaging me all day telling me what kind of booze they're bringing(my mom bought bud light though, what the fuck?). Apparently I get to be the free loader since I'm 1500 miles away and showing up kind of late. I don't know what I'm more excited about, the awesome cooking or getting drunk with family members I haven't seen in a long time.
That is right all of Canada is close to either Seattle or Buffalo. But being here in BC, when i do watch football i do follow the shithawks, cause they aren't really that far.
Oh REALLY? Well where the fuck is BC near? See I thought Canada already had a team. When the hell did the Vikings move down south?
Well, I am baking a chicken in beer in my cast iron pan, just made a grip of sugar cinnamon cookies, and I am drinking. Hash after dinner. I'll be partying tonight...
OK, the term "grip." Is this a Colorado thing? My roommate, a Denver native, uses it all the time. I'd never heard it before I moved here. Pick up a grip of Halloween candy, the mountains got a grip of snow this weekend, Michael Vick got a grip of fantasy points, etc. I get it. I understand it. But where the fuck does it come from?
It's in New Mexico as well. And hey whaddya know my login still works at my college library so I can access the unabridged OED. What's weird is that I use it to signify time. "Shit, man it's been a grip."
Weird. I spent two years in NM and never heard it. Then again, Farmington is way behind the civilized world in much more than just slang. Now excuse me while I go pour a grip of rum.
I'm honestly surprised you never heard it in Farmington. Especially because people from there desperately wish they were from Colorado. And Farmington isn't so bad compared to other bits of New Mexico. My town had a movie theater, which was a big fucking deal because it was the only one in a 50 mile radius. However, it was one screen and got movies a 4-6 weeks late, so at minimum we lived a month behind the rest of the world.
I made a mistake and went to the grocery store this evening. Holy shit people are assholes. I don't give a fuck that I have to work tomorrow, I'm now drinking tonight. Lots.
I went twice today. Why? I needed six sweet potatoes and walked out with six yams. In some instances, yes, yams=sweet potatoes. But technically they're different. I got the wrong kind, so I had to go back. It was as bad as it sounds.
This is why I would never go out on Black Friday. People trampling each other to death over a $10 coffee maker. No thanks, I will shop on the internet.
I'm not going out anymore for the rest of this week if I can help it. In four loko news, we picked up a mixed case at the liquor store. (Yes, there's a 4 pack of joose in there too, but I had to try it_)
Since Ill probably never get to try these damn Four Lokos everyone can't stop talking about Ill post the Asian equivalent. Extra Joss. A energy drink powder that all my Softball team mixed with beer and Red Bull and Vodkas, for that hand shaking edge. I drank 4 or 5 Red Bull and Vodkas with this stuff in it and blacked the fuck out a few weeks ago. Hell yeah. It actually gives beer a Sparks type taste, it actually mixes well. BTW, I tried the original Four drink a few years back when it debuted. They had to give the shit away at the local Bodega because they had so much shit that no one wanted. I got two free cans and a Four brand condom when I bought a case of beer. The original was fucking terrible...
Is that where you get punched in the mouth and then drink some beer to wash out the blood? If so, then yep, I have.
