Ready for a great mixer that sounds disgusting?
50/50 of mcgillicutty's menthol mint with whiskey. (I like apple/maple crown royal personally.)
You get the whiskey flavor up front and just as that burn starts to kick in the menthol mint takes over.
You can chug that shit.

Why not just take your liquor neat?
Unless you're just trying to get hammered, I guess.

I mean, sangria is mostly wine and fruit/fruit juice, with a little rum or something added. It's not really liquor. Plus its delicious.
AND it comes with a built in snack once you are drunk. Super convenient.

I take my liquor in shots. I don't drink beer because I REALLY don't like bitter tastes.
I also don't drink to get drunk, seeing as I can't get drunk. I drink for taste.
I really like the taste of that shot I described.

I need to stop reading horror stories after 8pm. I really, really should know better by now.

I'm in the same spot, kyuuri117. Just watched the last episode of Season 2 of Game of Thrones. Yes, I'm one of the few that haven't gotten through it. Anyways, the ending was creeping A.F. and I am not sleeping anytime soon.

I'm getting really tired of cubetutor right now. Does anyone know of a better draft simulation? Cubetutor has quite a few issues that I don't think are ever going to get resolved without a solid database manager.

@Femme_Fatale I don't know a better one for a variety of cubes, but http://draft.bestiaire.org/ has all of the Magic sets in there, and 2 cubes at the bottom of the scroll bar, both of which I find to be well made.

Body chemistry and metabolism tibs. I process it faster than I can intake it. Let's put it this way, I was intending to get drunk once. 7 hard ciders, 10 shots, and an extra large Long Island iced tea with no tequila and triple vodka within a span of 2 hours BARELY got me tipsy.
Needless to say I COULD get drunk but it takes so much if he stuff to even begin effecting me that it's not worth it.

@ducttapedeckbox No spoilers please!
I'm still on Season 1 episode 4 ahhahaha

I just don't bother drinking most of the time. If you don't get the effect of alcohol then what's the point in drinking it aside from taste?
That's why I like cider. It's tasty and usually sweet.

It's about 5-6 hours away from Fort mac.

well yesterday was emotionally exhausting as fuck. Got my driver's licence on my birthday, set up my insurance, registered my truck, went shopping for travel supplies, celebrated with friends, almost turned onto a one way street the wrong way because fuck Massachusetts and it's fucked up roads.

ducttapedeckbox says... #21
I second that last part VA! Fuck Massachusetts and its fucked up roads. But what's even worse? The people on those roads. I've never been anywhere else where people are such asses with every aspect of driving. Drive defensively out there.
Also, happy belated birthday?

It's usually a display of dominance. I see that every now and then here in VT when people get too big for their britches.
Little do they know I have 5 years of hand to hand combat training to go along with my weapons training. Just gotta keep your cool and let shot slide. AFTER you cuss them out of course.

Massachusetts drivers will kill you.
One of the funniest jokes I've heard about Boston drivers is the equivalent of Russian roulette: coming to a four-way stop with a Bostonian at each one.
It's bad. Like real bad. My friend's uncle used to own a Deuce and a half and people wouldn't hesitate to cut you off even when you're chugging along in that.
It's often not even the road rage - people are just assholes in Boston. Cutting off trucks on the highway, blowing through red lights or stop signs, someone sitting on their horn when the person in front of them lets a child cross the street.
There is no question that massholes is a valid description.
May 5, 2016 3:52 p.m.
Went to school for four years in Mass, the drivers aren't that bad, nor are the roads. It's only once you get into Boston that it gets bad. The people are just assholes.
Frankly, driving in NYC is scarier than driving anywhere in mass, and that is a fact.
Driving in DC is also scarier than driving anywhere in Mass.

So my computer just died. Maybe no League for me for some time. Right as midseason updates are out and there's about a million cool things to do too...
Oh well, maybe it's time for me to get back to playing Touhou 15. I still haven't beaten it. Even on easy...
Fucking Clownpiece is a fucking troll. First off, timeout spells are bullshit and make me feel like I'm not doing anything. Second, her second non-spell laser bullshit is annoying as fuck. Ironically, it's right after possibly the easiest spellcard in the game. Third, fucking lasers are bullshit... At least she's got a great theme.
Captain America ain't got jack on Clownpiece...

I have to say, while I don't give a damn what words are used in a forum, the first time I saw the word "troll" being used as a real adjective in a novel I was reading two months ago, I was absolutely furious. Went back to Barnes and Noble and returned it the next day.
If an author has decided to be a lazy shit and use internet slang in what was supposed to be a serious novel, i'm not going to patronize his work.
(As a side note, the word wasn't being used in the context of a forum, it was just being used as any other random adjective might have been used).
May 7, 2016 7:05 p.m. Edited.
It was also used as a verb.
I honestly should have just burnt the thing.

I hope, for the sake of the author's soul, that it was written in first person. Third person omniscient would be gross.

@kyuuri117, what if you want to troll for fish? How would you do that?
May 7, 2016 7:27 p.m.
That seems a little extreme. I could understand that reaction if I were reading some low-fantasy adventure since the word is so closely tied to internet-culture that it would stand out. However, if I stumbled upon it in a conversation between two young people in a book set in the present, that's fine. It's all about context.
May 7, 2016 7:28 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #39
Maybe in a decade or two, that will actually be a real use of troll instead of just slang. O.O

Coinman1863 says... #42
Sadly it isn't, trawling uses a net, and trolling uses lines, unless my local fisherman are trolling, which they already do. :P
May 7, 2016 8:16 p.m.
Well, apparently were both right. To Trawl is to use a large net that drags behind to catch a lot of fish. That's the word I'm familiar with. To troll for fish is to use a singular baited line while the boat is moving.
May 7, 2016 8:17 p.m.
Regardless, I think using the word to describe a persons attitude is bad writing.

Currently planning for edh league at my cancerous shop. The people there are either complete nubs who want to have fun or this large colluding group. I'm trying to get my friends to unseat the people who have been victorious for the past few months that we haven't played. These guys have money but they're not good players. My friends are being too nice to them.
Had a pod with grand arbitter, Prossh, my friend playing elves, and me playing hanna combo. The other two are colluding. 5/0 fact splits, etc. I play control vs the arbitter to the point I die from one buffed Prossh attack. Prossh has reanimated arbitter's creature. Forget what it is atm. Essentially tabernacle on wheels.
He goes to his turn, draws. No upkeep cost paid. His board should die. Big fight breaks out because he has tourettes. Tells me I'm not a human. At this point, the only employee is out back. Grand arbitter and my friend who was afraid to make enemies lets things slide.
Prossh kills my friend that turn. Arbitter dies to mana crypt. Prossh wins.
These types of things keep happening. It's frustrating but at least I'm playing well. I'm now one point behind arbitter and two behind Prossh.
My friends just need to pick up slack. They're much better players than this...

I made sangria for the first time tonight. Didn't have any orange juice so I used cherry juice instead, with white rum as the secondary alcohol. Let me tell you, the cherry juice is sooooo much better than orange juice.
