"socially constructing my consumption"!

Oh, that reminds me -- vodka does -- that I'd meant to find one of the best/worst drink threads, butfuckit. Went liquor shopping last night, sort of (the liquor store across the street, so the selection is sporadic and they didn't have the Bonny Doon wines I wanted). The big thing was "pre-mixed martinis" -- Cosmotini and Appletini -- which didn't seem to be any different from cranberry- and apple-flavored vodkas.

I had a vanilla-flavored Stoli martini at a lounnnggggeeeee and it was really good, but every time I see the bottle on the shelf at the store I think (noooo, too expensive)....

I had a bad experience with a pre-mixed "MudSlide" recently--vile, simply vile.

Appletini

... sounds like original sin in Latin. ;-)

Yeah, I have a real pet peeve for the anything-and-the-kitchen-sink-tinis that are around these days. I can get really annoying about it. ("Cowboy-tini" at a restaurant I used to go to: tequila, triple sec, lime. That's a margarita, dammit, you just put it in a different glass and raised the price!)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 00:42 (twenty years ago) link

the new thing is lycheetinis.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 8 September 2003 00:59 (twenty years ago) link

hahaha!

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 8 September 2003 01:01 (twenty years ago) link

Let's just bring the trend to its natural apex and toss some mango bubble tea in a very very very small little stemmed glass. The itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot martini.

countdown to zombie pinappletini

(you'd really have to ask Tad or luna or Ally or somebody, I just don't know)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 01:12 (twenty years ago) link

(that yellow polka dot bit was funny, btw, dammit)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 01:16 (twenty years ago) link

speaking of dots...Pink Dot is late! (note to self--stop calling Pink Dot)

This says more about "what the early '90's were really like" than Nevermind does.

I'm not sure I like this Kraftwerk album.

I'm going to buy a laptop computer, because I'm on campus for large stretches of the day, and a) there are just plain too many students for me to have any hope of consistently getting a computer in one of the computing lab type places, b) I can't smoke in there anyway, nor eat my lunch, so c) this is the best way for me to get lots of work done. I'm shit with handwriting: I've been doing everything on the computer for ... uh, 20 years now, I guess.

I'm oddly nervous about this, having never ever used a laptop computer before for more than a couple minutes. They seem newfangled to me, and suspicious. They have cards, and they're small, and touchpads are weird.

But I'm getting a refurbished one, and not a top of the line one or anything, cause all I need is to type and bop files around. So I'm sure everything is going to be fine.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:02 (twenty years ago) link

yes the yellow polka dot martini was funny

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:09 (twenty years ago) link

a little pineapple juice, a little vanilla vodka, twist of zombie, voila, pineapple zombietini.

(I left the blowjob out... that's after you've had several zombietinis).

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:11 (twenty years ago) link

You could probably rate blowjobs by number of zombietinis. Well, maybe you couldn't, but I probably could.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:19 (twenty years ago) link

that's after you've had several zombietinis.

wait, so how many more do i need?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:20 (twenty years ago) link

Ask Tep.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:21 (twenty years ago) link

I refuse in soooo many ways to be the pineapple zombietini guy!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:24 (twenty years ago) link

Oh it's too late, champ.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:26 (twenty years ago) link

No no no. teeny's responsible for the tini. I'm not even really responsible for the pzb, I'll just accept partial culpability. But the tini is so not me!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:27 (twenty years ago) link

You are completely responsible for the pzb, but I'll let you off on the pztini.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:30 (twenty years ago) link

I'm so not! I mentioned it in passing. I had no idea it would become, you know, my nametag.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:33 (twenty years ago) link

'mentioned it in passing' = 'brought it up and inserted it into the collective ILx conscious'. You the baby daddy.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:34 (twenty years ago) link

Can my legacy be vinegar chicken instead? Or "there was no time for shoes if I wanted the hooker to live"? Or surnames with superfluous punctuation? Or even Old Testament porn?

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:37 (twenty years ago) link

Own up, Tep. We've got it all on record.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:37 (twenty years ago) link

Those too. As well as the pzb.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:38 (twenty years ago) link

Man, if it's on record, it's only a matter of time before I start hearing my pineapple zombie blowjobs with a new drumbeat in that rap music I hear the kids are into these days.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 02:39 (twenty years ago) link

Then you can sue.

and talking like that will just make you more popular, young lady.

and NO ONE HAS ANSEWERED MY QUESTION! HOW many licks does it take to get to the center of the blowjob blowpop?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:08 (twenty years ago) link

The number of licks varies in accordance to the pop, of course.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:15 (twenty years ago) link

As well as the size and strength of the tongue relative to the pop, the amount and chemical composition of the saliva, the time of the year, relative humidity, and whether or not the wrapper has been removed, for starters. (And we've not even broached the subject of those who choose to bite to get to the center faster.)

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:21 (twenty years ago) link

relative humidity

If you learn nothing else today, kids, learn this: everything important is better in New Orleans.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:25 (twenty years ago) link

'Provides the necessary lubrication, thereby reducing the friction that creates that oft' mentioned chafing problem, without having to procure any of those embarassing personal lubrication items.'

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 8 September 2003 04:32 (twenty years ago) link

I'm thinking: yowzah, this Lovage CD really is one of the best things ever huh?

I am in a good mood for no reason whatsoever, and keep on grinning. I like grinny moods.

Dude grinny moods are the shit. Whether or not alkymahol has anything to do with it.

Personal Daily Horoscope of Monday, 8 September 2003
for Jody, born 30 November 1976

Just bored
At this time you may feel a strong urge to get away from the daily routine and go off somewhere, and you may not be entirely conscious of the reasons behind this drive. It is a mood, a restlessness that is hard to pin down. But there is more than one way to get away; for example it can be done in the mind as well as in the physical world. Travel may be beneficial as long as the break from your routine isn't too radical. You are not really interested in getting totally away from it all, you are just bored with your everyday life.

― animal wrangler (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 8 September 2003 06:14 (twenty years ago) link

all my Sunday nights too, Sam - I can never sleep on Sunday night

Personal Daily Horoscope of Tuesday, 9 September 2003
for Jody, born 30 November 1976

Sudden moves
Weak, transient effect: Tonight you are likely to crave emotional excitement, something that departs from the routine of your daily life. You are likely to seek out people who are different from those you usually meet. You might spend the day or evening in very different surroundings. And while you may feel a bit impulsive, these impulses make you feel more alive rather than inclined to act rashly or stupidly. On a more quiet level, you may use this energy to make needed changes in your immediate personal life or your domestic environment. While others may seem startled by your apparently sudden moves, these changes should be constructive, and the people in your life will accept them.

Personal Daily Horoscope of Monday, 8 September 2003
for Aimee, born 6 July 1972

Be yourself
You need to be yourself now and to feel what you really are. In your relations with others, you will project much more emotionally than usual, and if some people do not like this side of you it may be necessary to reconsider your friendship with them. In love relationships, you will experience greater emotional depth than usual, and consequently your experience with a lover will be much more intense. The only danger to watch out for here is that you may be too possessive of the other person. Also you may be so wrapped up in your own feelings that you are unaware of the other's feelings. Relations with women in general are improved by this influence. Regardless of your own sex, your experiences with them will very likely show you a great deal about yourself in a positive way.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 8 September 2003 06:52 (twenty years ago) link

It won't let me pick "event" for a gender; hrpph.

Seriously, hook me up with that.
