You may have a better shot if you call it her hamentashen.

Did you ever party with clients from the strip club when you were a dancer, Gia?

Nope.

My best friend & drinking buddy told me he was giving up drinking for Lent. That should've happened after Fat Tuesday, but he had a Mardi Gras party that upcoming weekend, so he pushed things back. Then he decided he would only drink on special occasions during Lent.

After about 2 days of not drinking, he gave up on that and just went back to drinking pretty much every day. He got slapped with a refusal to blow DUI yesterday at McDonald's drive thru when the cops showed up investigating a different group of people and went to his car first by mistake. He's still in jail, waiting on his bail hearing Monday.

What do your friend and Mary Magdalene have in common?

Both got fucked by Jesus.

Got late tickets to Pelicans v Memphis and got to see the second half in some killer seats. 2 buds. 2 shots Jameson, 4 Mich ultra and a glass of red wine.

Grey Goose & Diet Cranberry-Pomegranite juice. About to also pop and start sweating.

1.5x Angry Orchards at a friends wedding. Party on.

I've had some beer from Goose Island lately that I like a lot. The 312 is refreshing and the Sofie is a farmhouse ale that tastes wonderful.

I'm making some pepper infused tequila too. Got about 24 more hours on this batch.

Nice. I'm on a Titos cranberry and tonic kick. Tall glass, lotsa ice, and some lime.
It's the drink of summer.

Last night a couple shots of pepper tequila, rye whisky, a beer and half a joint. Twas my birfday.

Happy Birthday. I'll hoist a morning beverage towards it making you a bit wiser and not just older.

I could use more of the former and a whole less of the latter. I keep meeting these 20 something hotties with that sympathetic look in their eyes. Not enough for a sympathy b.j. however.

You and me both.

It appears that I'm going to need to cut out drinking for the foreseeable. Liver issues plus drugs that tweak the liver.

But now that I am off probation, I am back to the devil's weed. Using a fancy vaporizer now which makes it nice.

Congrats, XPT!

Trust me, we've all been drinking. I've been drinking more beer while on vacation. They make a damn fine local beer here on the island:

steezo, how are you digging Greece? I was last there in the 90s, so it's been awhile. Been wanting to go back actually for a long stretch.

I've been here quite a few times and it's pretty much the same as always. The tourists in the town I'm at are all drunken British idiots. These days, I'd say 90% of them are 23 or under. It's funny, when I came here when I was 18, everyone was 35 and now it's the total opposite. There's dance music playing here 24 hours a day, which gets a little irritating. Luckily, the spot I'm staying at is a bit of a way from the main party strip.

I've mostly just been chilling out with my Greek family and friends. I haven't even made it out to the strip to check things out. Last night I was going to go out for a bit and maybe end my night at the strip club they have here (I imagine it's filthy). Unfortunately, it rained harder here last night than I've ever seen it rain before. I wish I could post a clip from the short video I took from my phone. When it rains here, it really rains and the thunder and lightning can get right on top of you. My father's aunt actually died from a lightning strike many years ago.

It's utterly filthy.

You've been to Kavos?

Your family is from Kavos? I had to look it up on Wikipedia. Population less than 800! No, never been there. My family is from South Athens. I was thinking more of the "night clubs" cum brothels of the bigger cities. When I was in the Navy I flew out of Athens and also had the opportunity to get to know cousins. Alas, I do not speak Greek and didn't spend enough time there to get much past sounding out the alphabet.

Our house is in Kavos, but the family is from a village a little ways away called Lefkimmi. Kavos is one of the top party destinations in all of Europe and is generally full of drunk English idiots.

I can't count how many times I've been told by family here that I must learn Greek. I try to explain that I'm only here for like 3 weeks every 2 or 3 years, but no one listens.

Question, and I'm not trying to be a dick here, but...

How much Greek would it it take you to learn to help your relatives fleece the fuck out of those drunk English idiots.

Think about that, Steez.

There's nothing to fleece. The English tourist come here practically broke, with barely enough money for food and drinks. Correction, make that drinks and food. They always seem to have enough to at least get shitfaced drunk.

Respectfully, there's always something to fleece out of that lot, having seen this in full force in Brooklyn. But whatevs, I guess, as long as you can send one home with a lifetime of regrets.

If they're anything like the ones in Amsterdam then fuck the whole lot of them. They ain't worth pissing on. Broke-ass drunk teabag retards singing and fighting and pissing on walls.
The difference may be the ones in Brooklyn have enough dough to travel to the states and the ones in A'dam and Greece don't.

It's true. And the English girls are basically shameless. There was a scandal in Magaluf where some bird sucked off everyone in the club for a five dollar bottle of hooch.

^Those two posts pretty much sum up the English morons here. I'm always amused when someone says that an English accent makes you sound so much more intelligent than the average American. My experiences here make me feel the exact opposite.

There are about 200 accents in England. There is one which marks the speaker as cultured (Received Pronunciation), and 199 which mark the speaker as a lesser being to one extent or another. And some of them are just the worst. Those are the creatures which inhabit the package tours to Greece and Spain, punching people, fucking in the street, and vomiting everywhere.

There's a rather terrible Navy-based drama called "The Last Ship" which just finished up its second season on TNT and the BitTorrent sites. It features the lovely Rhona Mitra as the English heroine, with her RP accent, and these two "British sailors", the Ramsey brothers, who inherit their Royal Navy submarine when everyone else on it dies. The actor playing the antagonist is Irish, but his "English" accent is ridiculously low-class. Maybe it's deliberate, but that would have been a terrible choice because Royal Navy officers are virtually all drawn from the so-called public school class which cultivates the RP accent.

But it's pretty clear that Rhona Mitra's RP accent shows us she's smart and virtuous, and the Irish guy's ersatz Cockney is supposed to show us he's bad.

I had some drinks with a Scottish girl last night and at first I could've sworn she wasn't speaking English. I had to sober myself up and concentrate for a moment to understand what she was saying. If I drink with her again, I'm going to play a game where I say a word in English and make her repeat it in her own fucked up dialect.

Cinzano, with bitters, a little lime juice, ginger ale and a dadh of seltzer.

I've pretty much had a buzz going for the last week, except for normal working hours. I got totally shitfaced last night next to an empty box of pizza (not Dominos) that I don't remember eating. I was looking at my bathroom mirror a little while ago and couldn't figure out what the two weird smudges on it were and then realized that they were imprints from my forehead.

2 Angry Orchard ciders. With JB and Jerkules. Left early to get a salad at Chipotle before closing time. I've had a headache for three days, and just want to go back to bed

Just 3 beers tonight. 3 delicious beers on one of the best nights I can remember.

Someone recommend a white wine for me that's just a bit sweet and not too oaky.

Louis Jadot Pouilly Fuisse
Jordan Chardonnay
Stag's Leap Karia Chardonnay

Thanks. I tried a Woodbridge Chardonnay the other night that wasn't bad at all.

What happened to me? Two drinks and I get the worst hangovers next day.

you like riesling? usually don't do whites, but where i'm at we have good ones and i've become a fan.

http://www.normanhardie.com/wine/riesling/
that and a sauv blanc we carry (sancerre) is about the only two i dig.

I do indeed and Gewurtztraminer as well.

Getting some age on ya sweetheart. Sorry.

Whew! As long as it's just age. I thought there was a problem for a minute!

Our livers get tired. Some more than others. Mines wore the fuck out.

I'm doing another Whole 30 cleanse, so that makes 30 days with no booze. I have a few obligations to go out this month, plus Thanksgiving is coming up, so I might have to take a few cheat days and then tack them on at the end to make 30 days total. I'm trying to decide whether or not opiates count as cheating, since they're calorie free.

Oops. I was cleaning up the kitchen and preparing for 30 days of cooking my own food and I came across 2 bottles of Greek wine tucked away. I wasn't gonna not drink it, soo... My Whole 30 program starts tomorrow now. And I've decided if I cheat at all during the 30 days, I'll add an extra 3 days on at the end for each night I go out and have a drink.

Luck with that.....snicker.

I did this back in June and didn't drink a drop or cheat once in 30 days. I lost over 15lbs. You aren't allowed to weigh yourself until the month is up, so it was a nice surprise/reward.

Oops, I got a little bit high.
