I have a pint of gin in me; ask me anything

[oustemnow]

except why I'm still posting on DU in this inebriated state.

[MercutioATC]

1. What brand?

.

[oustemnow]

4. oh, Gordons, of course

ask for it by name; the Breakfast of Champions!

[MercutioATC]

10. I, personally, prefer Bombay Sapphire, but Gordon's will do ...

;)

[aquaman]

2. Why do you drink Gin and not Vodka??

....????

[oustemnow]

6. good question; I'm not sure

I guess the tonic and lime add a certain piquancy that I just don't get from vodka.

Plus, there's that whole neo-hipster martini thing that turns me off.

[Clete]

3. I hope it's Bombay or Tanqueray.

Stay away from the cheap stuff. It will ruin your stomach. So ask you anything eh? Why didn't you offer me some? It's not good to drink alone you know.

[oustemnow]

7. too late; see post above

Tanq is pretty good, though pricey. I never noticed a difference between Bombay and the cheaper stuff.

[Clete]

12. You will when you get a hangover.

[oustemnow]

14. hangovers are just a love bite from God

so my Grandma told me.

[Rocinante]

5. I hope

you mixed that shit with grapefruit juice and salted the rims of the glasses. Otherwise-ugh.

[oustemnow]

9. tonic water, actually

is there such a thing as quinine poisoning and, if so, what are the effects?

[MercutioATC]

11. Nope, quinine will stop you from getting malaria, though...

.

[Rocinante]

15. Quinine is mean

the only way I could ever drink gin was with grapefruit juice to counteract the cabbage like taste of the gin.

[DS1]

18. salted rims? ugh

Gin and tonic, nice slow drink, keep you buzzed, easy on the wallet when out with friends.

[Rocinante]

22. It's just my way

of killing the gin taste. But I haven't had gin in about 25 years so I may try a new mix.

[illini]

8. How long is it

until it makes you drunk? Haaa and you thought I was asking about????

[oustemnow]

13. long enough for your mum

just kidding, of course; I love a bwady dangling joke as much as the next person.

And speaking of bawdy dangling jokes, do you really want specifics?

[illini]

16. Me mum might!!!

[JVS]

17. Is the pint lonely?

Maybe it needs another pint to keep it company.

[oustemnow]

21. jeezis, JVS, yer tryin to kill me aint ya?

Hopefully the other liquor store in my neighborhood's still open. I wouldn;t want any pint loneliness, I'm a uniter, not a divider.

[JVS]

24. Pints of gin of the world, unite! Specifically, unite in my stomach!

[madrchsod]

19. a friend of mine always

knew when he had enough gin and drugs when he saw fire coming out the boars mouth...

[Poisonskin23]

20. OK

Why are mac users kinda insane and insist macs are perfect and NEVER crash?

Even though they do.

[oustemnow]

23. the interface for a Mac crash is much friendler than for the PC

either they get the frowny face (old school) or the computer just hangs in limbo indefinitely; either way, it's denial-friendly.

[JVS]

25. Becase they cannot accept that they went with the Betamax of computing

[Poisonskin23]

26. ...

God damn I hate trying to navigate on a network with that fucking thing.

[wtmusic]

27. Fine, I'll just use my ol' Betamax here

that's faster than yours, crashes less than yours, and has far slicker multimedia features than yours!

[JVS]

28. Costs more too

have fun with it though

I can sympathize with you too. I like Reverse Polish Notation calculators and few others do. I am convinced RPN is the better way to go, but it's just not as popular.
