Somewhere in a bed, asleep, Patrick McGoohan is laughing.
“By craigslist or myspace, we will.” Heh.
I used to be a real hardass about not drinking. I didn’t really have a reason, I just didn’t drink. I didn’t have anything against people that did; I’d hang out with my friends in high school, they’d get plastered, we’d shoot pool until three AM, and I’d be the guy to tell parents on the phone that no, we were perfectly fine, just hanging out at Joe’s, of COURSE no one’s drinking. I tried beer, hated the taste, and never saw the appeal.
Then I moved to Kansas City and my then-girlfriend-now-fiancee said, “Here, have a sip of Boulevard, one of our local beers.” Then she had to grab the bottle back away from me. I think I just don’t like Budweiser or Coors. Now it feels weird to watch football without eating pizza and drinking Boulevard.
I haven’t found a wine that I like the taste of yet, though. We’re wanting to drink more wine with dinner because a glass of red wine every now and then is good for you. So I get not liking the taste of things, or just not doing it because you want to.
I made sure not to be a jerk about not drinking, though – otherwise I would’ve been that elitist sober asshole, as opposed to that elitist gamer asshole.
Between this and Guapo’s herpes story, I’m now feeling a little sick to the stomach. :)

No, I just hate mayo. It’s one of the few things out there that literally makes me feel ill just thinking about eating it.
I had to reread this twice to convince myself it wasn’t a euphamism for masturbation, which would have been right at home in this thread.

That would actually make it less gross than the idea of mayo on corn.

Obviously she was just checking to see if she’d given you The Herpes yet.

Eh, sake can hurt you. TRUST ME.

I’m not sure which is more disgusting, slathering corn with mayo or it figuring into Whitta’s bukkake dreams.

It’s not the kind of alcohol you drink. It’s the quality of the alcohol itself that hurts you.

Sake doesn’t hurt people. People hurt people.
Moore

People who make and serve Sake. Yeah.
I do love sake, I’ve just gotten super duper durnk off of it once, and while wine hangovers are BAD (and stupid since wine is more or less nasty), sake hangovers are the devil.

contrarybear: Sounds cool, I’ll definitely poke around here for a sushi class.
And yeah, bags reminds me of myself circa 19-20. I was a total judgemental ass about people who just wanted to get drunk and be idiots. Then I gave it a try, had fun, and got over it.
I was as clueless as extar at his age too, so yeah there is hope for us all.

Wait, how old is extarbags? I was assuming late twenties.
If he’s 19, my god, why does this thread even exist?

I behaved like I’m imagining he behaves. When I was like 15-16.
It’s a bit more fun to have a beer.

He’s far too old to act so young. I went through that “don’t really want to drink” phase when I was the same age as Moore mentions. Then I discovered Corona Extra and the sticky-icky and it was all downhill from there.
Wow. That is so evil, I’m embarrassed I didn’t think of it first.

I was surprised I was the first to post it myself.
