SHIT. I just lost all the household chores in a game of poker! Now not only do I have exams all week but I have to do the washing up and all that crap everyday... Oh, hey late shifters.

Apparently, this month is 'barbelith loses at poker' month, judging by the comments in the poker thread.
 
 
one point, oh
02:21 / 21.05.06
pfft, nah, I can probably win it all back, if only I had something to gamble... like all that rent money...

hi dovetailed. you face an interesting conundrum. your task is to do the chores badly enough to irritate but well enough so that your agenda is not discovered.

This absinthe site is endorsed by Modern Drunkard Magazine, whose opinions I trust implicitly, ever since I lived in Denver and met some of the guys who started it. They know their booze like Batman knows Robin.

Shows what you know, I have been discovering my agenda all over the place... cupboards, irons, washing up cloths - you name it I have found my agenda there; mostly through the medium of poker rota subscription.

Is Modern Drunkard still going? I haven't been able to find a copy in months, and I've got pretty much all of them for the last couple of years.

Stoatie, you know of The Drunkard!?! Cheers, my brother from another mother!

They're going strong. Here's their website.

Well the Absinth King Gold seems to be the strongest in Thujone. Also the most expensive. Coincidence? I thimnk not.

Ok, listening to Start Wearing Purple. Its... good. Yeah, thats the word.

Sleep tight!

I want more Gogol Bordello, but the other songs on their myspace site will not play for me. Play for me, fuckers! Will now download latest version of quicktime and see if that helps.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
03:01 / 21.05.06
Teh suxx. Trying to download quicktime made my computer crash. On rebooting, I found that the starting catcher for my fantasy baseball team has been injured. I blame quicktime. Fuck quicktime.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:06 / 21.05.06
Indeed. Apple/Macintosh makes the world go evil. IMHO

Absinthe: Get Jade Edouard, if you can afford it; it's lovely.

Hey there, (id)entity. I thought I had scared everyone off by mentioning baseball again. I think I killed the last lateshift that way.

How's things?

Sorry, I had to actually, like, do some work and stuff. I'm quite resentful about that.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:33 / 21.05.06
I went to get myself a glass of wine.

The nerve!

My night keeps going downhill. I somehow missed that Barry "'Roid Rage" Bonds tied Babe Ruth for second on the all-time home run list. I'm sickened. I realize that you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but give a quiet "fuck you" to Barry Bonds. If not for me, then for the children.

As for the quicktime thing, Keggers, I was downloading it to this pile of shit PC. I *heart* Macs. I've had this piece of shit crash more times in the year I've been using it than all of the Macs I owned from 1994-2002 combined.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:39 / 21.05.06
We had macs in collge. I loathe them. Cold unfeeling things is what they are..no character or personality whatsoever.

Welcome back, Keggers.

Quick lateshift poll:

Should I listen to Ghostface Killah or Nas? I'm torn. I just finished a Pixies disc and I need some gangsta rap in my heart right now. I just can't seem to choose.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
03:42 / 21.05.06
As oppossed to the cheery personality of a Windows rig? Are crashing and bizarre software conlicts a good thing?
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:47 / 21.05.06
Nothing good is without its faults. Im sure I could grow to like macs. I just really dont want to.

AS for the music I really dont know enough of either of them to give you a qualified answer. Im in a Tragically Hip mood if thats any help to you.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
03:52 / 21.05.06
Yeah, I'm actually starting to learn how to use this thing, against my will. Any idea how to adjust the bass/treble on Windows Media Player?

I decided on Ghostface Killah: The Pretty Toney LP. You can never go wrong with that disc. If you like hip-hop you're missing out by not listening to Ghost and Nas. I could *cough*ilesharefay*cough* some tracks if you're interested.

This is for Stoatie:

Official Modern Drunkard fez hats. I love those guys.

On the top of media player go to VIEW, then ENHANCEMENTS then GRAPHIC EQUALIZER
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
04:03 / 21.05.06
Sweet! Thanks for the Windows skeelz. Sounds great now.
 
 
Saint Keggers
04:29 / 21.05.06
Well, Im off to bed now.

G'night Jake

G'night, Keggers.

Here's a picture of a honey badger. Just because.

It's still late? I thought it was early already.

Early for me, too. I'm moving, which is why I didn't get back to Jake.

Anyway, Keggers, take my advice— quality absinthe does not have a very high thujone content. When people advertise high thujone absinthe as better than the stuff with the standard ~30 mg., that's like deciding that because alcohol is the active ingredient in a really excellent whisky, drinking 98% isopropyl will be even better. Yech.

Jade Edouard is really nice. It's a pleasant drink provided you enjoy the taste of anise, it's got a beautiful color and louche, and it's got the right amount of wormwood for a nice, clear-headed experience. People who want to hallucinate are better off getting mushrooms, anyway; it's cheaper and less toxic than consuming the necessary amount of thujone would be.
