Friday Night You Know What Thread
So I waited until ten, and when the clock struck it became apparent I would be that guy. Anyway, anyone drinking anything good? Or drinking enough of something bad to make it a good time anyway?
I'll start it off by saying what I'm having: poor college student whiskey sours (whiskey and sweet and sour mix) and some Bud Light Lime that my girlfriend bought if I'm feeling good enough later.
I started a few hours ago. I don't like to change liquors so I'm drinking screwdrivers all night.
Canadianclub and Ginger ale.
Water
...Diet Mountain Dew. Yeah, I'm lame. It's a study weekend.
Drinking a great bottle of austrailian shiraz watching the tigers getting shelled. Tough series for me, I've lived in Denver for 10 yrs now so have a soft spot in my heart for the rockies as well. Is having an AL and a NL team ok? Lemme know...
This might've been rhetorical but I think it's quite all right because only 8 teams make the mlb playoffs
Magic Hat #9. Started gamecasting the tigers game, but had to put that shit away after the 2nd. Enjoying the beer and some smokes on my glorious balcony with some Pandora going.
The goal of the night has been avoiding making a phone call to the cougar d'jour. Feels like a good idea, but I'm sober enough still to know it's not. Bitches is crazy.
Jealous of the #9, trying to stretch the money through the summer. Come fall I should be back to the #9 and the rest of the good beer club.

For a college kid, it is. I remember those days filled with natty and beast and red dog.
I just gagged a little bit.
#9 is, it's probably the best national beer there is on sale in most places. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Goose Island Belgian, but in a lot of places that's not available. Barring the best Bell's, GI, I would put #9 in good company.
Bell's Two Hearted.........
You can still find a good bomber, four banger or sixer somewhere that's better. Otherwise, PBR
I consumed a rather excessive amount of alcoholic beverages last weekend, and again this week to celebrate finishing my MBA. It turns out I dehydrated myself so much that my back spasmed and locked up this AM. I literally army-crawled to the bathroom to take a hot shower and downed 800mg of ibuprofen. Worst pain of my life. Steady diet or gatorade and water all day...
But now? Oberon. Back in the saddle, folks.
You'll have to settle for "insightful".

Tonight you can drink to your health. Cheers! :o)
If you are a poor college student, and you are having to drink whiskey sours 9with whiskey sour mix)--why drink at all?
I told you along time ago: You are NOT Marine Corps material.
Go Coast Guard. It's made for sissies.
It wasn't one of those carbon Bushy's was it? They seem to be riddled with problems.
To your problem: Take a brass cleaning rod down the muzzle end with a plastic (or brass) swab jag. If it is wedged, use the rim on a spent round to pry against the rim of the stuck round. DON'T use a screw driver or anything steel, it will jack stuff up.
On Topic: Over did it the past weekend, so I'm settling for a Coke Zero and a pizza slice from Sam's Club.... Best meal deal out there.
Every time someone lectures me about carrying a double action only with no safety, I tell them I'm smarter than Burris. I don't plan on getting drunk and shoving it down the front of my pants.
The only problem I've had with cheap steel case ammo (which I plink with almost exclusively) is that you have to clean like a fiend because of the lacquer residue. But at only $.20 a round, it's worth it.
Pretty in depth discussion of guns in a thread about boozing.
DISCLAIMER: The use of firearms while under the influence of alcohol is not only dangerous, but a ton of fun, too.
and try again the morning. Ha!
Guns and booze are a bad idea.
Lots and lots of monster to help me stay awake all night.
zzzzzzzzzzz
I am drinking a fine Ethiopian Wet Process Jimma Duromina Coop coffee - roasted by yours truly in my new coffee roaster I got for my birthday (tomorrow).
If you are into coffee, and you haven't gotten into home roasting - it is an art and a hobby well worth the time and effort.
And you can get coffee that blows Starbucks away for half the price (not counting the equipment)
I hadn't heard of this, but am intrigued. If a person is too lazy to roast his or her own coffee, but wants the home-roasted taste, are there "micro-roasts" available that you can buy?
You would have to go to a local roaster I think. It would probably be just as good, just a lot more expensive. There is a place in AA that does it, and will roast it on the spot.
The best thing about doing it yourself is knowing exactly when it was roasted. - and it is like $6 a lb.
I'm into homebrewing and I love coffee; this sounds interesting. Didn't even really know it existed. Ever tried making kombucha?
go here and snoop around. i LOVE this place. I bought the Behmor 1600 - (about $300 and worth every penny).
sweetmarias.com
the owner gives you a rundown of every type of coffee - and even what it tastes like at lighter and darker roasts. it is cool and fun. Makes me want to drink 20 cups a day though because it is so damn good.
Thanks Sheepman. I just read this thread aloud to my wife and you may have converted her (which will be good for me because then I can drink the coffee that she makes).
Gotta commend the DIY'ers of the world.
RED DOG.
Best cheap wisconsin beer? Lacrosse Light.
I'm actually not drinking Red Dog, but Bud Light.
The story behind the 30 rack of RD that I have is that my (professional) fraternity in undergrad was on a tight budget and bought Natty/PBR/RedDog for the homecoming tailgate. People tolerated the former two, but didn't bother opening the latter. TWO years later now, and I'm almost ready to crack.
and what about Milwaukee's Best?
but didn't have much MB. *Lot* of Miller Lite and High Life Light. It was later that we figured to add lime to the latter.
Cleared some leftovers out of my fridge tonight and, lo and behold, there was a can of Guinness hiding behind some tupperwares and restaurant to-go boxes. Unexpected Guinness is the best.
A mix of mini-bottles I received for my 21st not too long ago, their free and rather high quality.
Jose Cuervo premade Margarita handles. Excellent pre-game drink and girls love them too.
Bourbon, neat. The only way.
I'm having a Maker's 46 rocks myself!
Best eva!
I'm more of a what's in the bottle kind of guy.
What is in that bottle, BTW?
Alternating between Paulaner and Hoegaarden.
Going classy tonight. Brought it back from Australia two years ago. I have to say, it's got nothin on the boxed stuff though...
