Saturday Late-Night drinking thread. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Not available last night. Sorry...



I love you all...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Ah, my dear Aristus!

How lovely to see you tonight!

Did you notice that DU has already set their clocks back? It startled me quite a bit.

Very efficient of them, I think.



Love you too!

[Aristus]

3. I didn't. But that's great.

I love DU.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I love DU too! It's part of me.

[rusty quoin]

2. Who?

[Aristus]

4. You!

[rusty quoin]

6. Why?

[Aristus]

7. Cause you're a DU-er!

[rusty quoin]

8. And now all my questions are answered. Thank you.

[Aristus]

9. I do what I can...

[rusty quoin]

10. One more. Do we take the house?

[Aristus]

11. Only time will tell.

What did you want me to do?: temp the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing?

[rusty quoin]

12. No. I use to figure things out but I cannot anymore.

There are too many things worked into the system that make it unpredictable.

[Aristus]

13. For me, it's pragmatism mixed with superstition.

I came home from work on Election Day, 2016 to relax and review the returns. I began to get a horrible feeling of dread as the electoral math began to look less and less like a Hillary Clinton win.

No projections from me. Not anymore...

22. So eloquent. nt

14. Why do I always see your drinking thread

after I start eating? I just got the Stouffer's lasagna out of the microwave and now I have to go back to the kitchen to mix a drink. I'm not complaining, mind you.

I'm having vodka with passion fruit juice tonight.

[Aristus]

15. Enjoy!

Do you prefer drinking on an empty stomach?

The onset of the buzz is quicker, but the potential hangover is worse...

[TexasTowelie]

16. I prefer to get high instead.

Weed doesn't give me a hangover whether my stomach is empty or full.

I usually do eat something before drinking to avoid having a hangover. Having a booze buzz while also being stoned is okay, but I've had enough hangovers that I've wised up to not drinking on an empty stomach.

[Wawannabe]

20. I am down with that!

Weed over booze anytime

[mr_lebowski]

17. Please tell me that you baked it at least for little while after the microwaving?

Straight nuked-lasagna (even partly pre-cooked like Stouffers) is a travesty ... the top must be browned and crisped up other wise it's just ... not right.

I often partially defrost stuff in micro, then transfer to oven, esp. things that take a long time in oven alone like lasagna. Can trim a good 30 mins off the cooking time that way, but still have it come out ALMOST the exact same as if you'd just baked it.

I'm having vodka with Kiwi/Strawberry (cause I'z out of cran-mango, my usual mixer).

[TexasTowelie]

18. That's too much labor for me.

I usually put a slice of cheese on top of the lasagna at the halfway point. That gives the crispy top that is desired and I like cheese anyway.

[sdfernando]

19. Boxers or briefs?

[Aristus]

23. Boxer briefs.

Plenty of coverage; not as much material to get bound up in your pants.

[sdfernando]

24. Oh man....

You were supposed to say “Depends”

[Aristus]

25. Hey, I just turned fifty.

Don't force me to get older faster than I am already...

[Wawannabe]

21. Is it late enough?

Oh wait. It’s an hour earlier now.
Does that mean I didn’t close the bar down??
