dude. brah. homey. you're approaching this thing all wrong. if you're a lightweight, that means the only way is up. you'll be even better after a few more benders. work those drinking muscles buddy.

lol "settle." this guy.

there are loads of functional alcoholics in this world, who hold down jobs and yet don't see the sober side of the pillow for months at a time. being a lightweight isn't necessarily a bad thing, bud. lightweights make cheap dates. hey, that rhymes.

well, too late to back out now! i'm in.

if you have friends overseas, sure.

the real deal, or that knockoff shit that's like flavored vodka? not that it matters. i'll agree to both.

that one almost hit me.

alright, you can come too. but i'm not gonna take it easy on you. i don't care how much of a lightweight you are. you drink what we drink.

i'l ttly buy drinks for the night if anyone wants to fly over to illinowhere. but not for zeni. he's probably underage or some shit.

there's one (1) three-story building in this town, and nothing taller than that (unless you count church steeples, water towers, and grain elevators). i'ma let you city folks handle those big jobs with their big invoices.

no plans yet...so probably porch drinking.

it was moving too fast for the naked eye.

well this took long enough. after the remaining structure became too unstable, the demo had to be put on hold until i could get some heavy equipment in to pull it down. so we sat still for 2 weeks until this morning. here's the "before"... i put a video on the bar's fb page of the knockdown, but i can't link to it right now on this computer. so here's a pic of the "after"... should have the lot cleaned up next week. then the construction part begins!

i like tomatoes. add a bunch of salt ... and sugar ... then mash them up real good and boil their asses for a little while. perfect. i mean ketchup, i like ketchup.

we're all bitchin' about the little sound file. meanwhile, discolemonade is live at the acropolis with the big piano man. fuck yeah.

it's everywhere. IT'S EVERYWHERE!!

i think it's actually two audio files: one which obv states "laurel" in a lower register, and another that says whatever it says in a higher register. someone on tweeter analyzed the audio file and found markers that indicate two distinct voices. personally, i first heard something (not yanny but a word said in a shitty, fake nasally voice), but after tweaking the eq a bit, i can clearly hear laurel. this was done on purpose by someone to fuck with our minds.

i think i hit legend at around 18k. that was my last rank too, because i topped out at around 20k.

damnit naraku. i thought exactly this when i read the thread title.

i think i have my first age spot. fuck, i didn't think i was that old. it's kinda hard to tell because i'm already about 90% freckles, but i'm pretty sure this is more than just a freckle. maybe it's just a melanoma. i honestly might feel better about it being that.

i watched this twice yesterday. once because everyone was losing their Fing minds about it, and a second time because i didn't really see anything that made me go "oooh" the first time i watched it. i saw a bit more the second time, but meh. i mean, so many layers, amirite? i get it though. the whole commentary on the infatuation with pop culture / media / trendiness set against a backdrop of violence, murder, chaos. the blatant disregard for human life but the careful handling of firearms. etc etc. it makes a point. i'm just not sure that it deserves to be called "genius" or that it's this revolutionary piece of art. it feels like all the subtle references and easter eggs are almost too forced. one thing i did notice that doesn't seem to be getting any attention though. i think the handgun in the opening was cgi or some other trickery. it wasn't in his waistband before he turned to the camera, and yet he whipped it out like nothing. makes me wonder if the squib / exit wound was also cgi. and if that is indeed the case, is that yet another subtle comment on how the violence is "manufactured" or some shit? or perhaps it's part of the jim crow reference. or maybe it's just nothing, and glover just didn't want to actually act the scene out with a real gun. meh. i guess as long as the video gets people talking and thinking and feeling things, then purpose served.

become a scrapper. put a thing on the facebook offering to haul away old appliances and other scrap metal objects. then find a regional scrapyard (not THE scrapyard, A scrapyard) and unload the shit for cash.

oooh so risky. betting that this year's north atlantic hurricane season will be less active than last year's, their 5th most active season on record. i love it when you get wild like that.

goddamn right! boil order was lifted overnight.

we picked up cases of the dogfish head today (60, 90, 120 minute ipas) at the bar. going home to a cold 4-pack of the 120 in about half an hour. no, i won't be drinking all 4 of them (not tonight, anyways). i figure the wife will have a sip and her face will pucker up, and i'll be left to the rest of it. so i'll put two in my cellar and keep 2 in the fridge. maybe i'll let the bro-in-law have one of them too. but at $10 per 12oz bottle, it's not something i'll be taking to the community bbq to share with the domestic drinkers. i've actually never tried this beer before, but at 18% abv and OVER 9000 ibu, i'm pretty excited. might report back after drinking it, if i can still see straight.
