Sorry jonmc, I didn't even think that little feller was NSFW.

Or were you saying you couldn't get drunk because you're still at work?

Or maybe both. I'm so confused.

posted by Hugh Janus 16 June | 16:24

Jonmc was just pointing out that of course he's drunk, he's at work.

I want to get drunk, but slow... slowly drunk.

I am getting there... working from home with a Monopolova super dry martini.

Enough for a few, if anyone wants one.

I have to take my insane dog to obedience class. After that, I will probably need to get drunk. Or flee the country. Or both.

I have this itching feeling that your smaller, less scrutable, and more recently posted image, for all its many inferiorities, somehow makes you superior to me, quonsar. I wish I knew why it itched so much. Do I have scabies, or am I just in love?

posted by Hugh Janus 16 June | 16:35

I'm still at work, but am seriously contemplating buying a bottle of a littles something to keep in the bottom drawer here. I'm pretty sure nobody would know the difference.

posted by papercake 16 June | 16:35

It's nice to have beer brand clients. I can drink at my desk and it's not only allowed, it's billable time!

That's fodder for the worst morning after story ever: "And I was so drunk, I drank from a squirrel head. I shit you not."

Just don't douse yourself with cologne to cover up after "lunch" like my cube-mate does, papercake.

Everybody here comes near, coughs, and turns around, eyes watering. "Why does he need so much cologne? I can't breathe!"

Knowing reply from veteran staffers: "Yeah, he drinks at lunch."

The writing is on the (cubicle) wall.

On the way home I am going to Specs, the liquor store, to get a big bottle of dark rum, a bottle of tawny port, and some dry sherry.

No, I do not mix them.

posted by sarah connor 16 June | 16:46

Huge - I just need something to take the edge off, ohhhh around 3:30-4:00 or so, sometimes. Just a quick hit. Followed by four or five altoids. Nobody will ever know.

As long as they don't find the stuffed squirrel in my desk.

posted by papercake 16 June | 16:49

Sarah Connor,

Mix the dark rum with Ginger Beer (Ginger Beer, mind you, not ale), ice and lots of lime. Meyers rum for pref, but whatever. Also if you do not die from indigestion brought on by drinking ten of them, thank me.

posted by Divine_Wino 16 June | 16:51

Mmm mmm dark and stormy yummy yum night.

Though for sweet and sticky with a mule-size kick, I dig a sidecar.

posted by Hugh Janus 16 June | 16:58

Sidecarsa good drink, what it's really got going for it is that it contains congnac, which, as Shane Macgowan has pointed out, is actually much worse for you than crack cocaine.

posted by Divine_Wino 16 June | 17:02

I am mildly hung over (beer). I was mildy hung over yesterday (wine). And since I've got a wild and crazy houseguest, I'll probably be hung over tomorrow (don't know yet, but the Campari thread got me thinking...).

posted by Specklet 16 June | 17:10

Oh, that whistle blow! Time to go get drunk for real.

I'd like a cold glass of water.

posted by AlexReynolds 16 June | 17:22

Me, too, Alex, but the fiancée has taken the Brita pitcher out of the fridge because cold water's not as good for you, she says. Just not the same drinking with ice.

Whilst I normally don't have an appreciation for taxidermy, I have to say I want one of these and one of these. I can even supply the ~~victims~~ ~~corpses~~ animals.

There goes my catchphrase.

I feel like George Costanza.

And that's not a good place to be.

posted by mudpuppie 16 June | 17:45

Divine_Wino, I have finally found a satisfactorily spicy ginger beer for the perfect dark and stormy. Check out goya, if you haven't already.

Already had a couple of glasses of biltmore estate chardonnay sur lies (on sale all the time, I guess living in asheville has its perks) but haven't yet deciphered the french name (it's been a while since french class and I feel that resorting to babelfish would be cheating).

i have just come back from a motorhead gig.

at hammersmith.

they had the bomber.

they also ran out of booze.

and my ears are ringing.

my god, the ringing.

posted by dodgygeezer 16 June | 19:40

Pass the bottle.

posted by puddinghead 16 June | 22:06

I'm sorry, squirrel. Please pass the squirrel.

posted by puddinghead 16 June | 22:15

mmm... EXcellent idea.

... don't have ingredients for zombies or white russians, though... :(

It could be worse - you could look like him, as I do (kind of).
