Life Step into my one-thread pub. *casually wipes down bar* - Page 13

Direckshun · 07-20-2013, 09:29 PM

I have had a stupendous month. It has probably been one of the best months of my life, if not the best month.

I was going to go out and celebrate, but it started raining cats and dogs.

So I'm in tonight. Drinking, as we speak, a Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy, which I don't really like, but a neighbor I just met and socialized with gave it to me as a gift, so I feel like I'm obligated.

But I'm behind the bar.

Pull up a stool. Since this is the internet, and also not real, we've got a limitless drink selection and everything's free.

This is the people's thread. Shit all over it, or just **** around. I'm here all night.

Some random thoughts that have been rattling around in my brain recently, and potential conversation starters:

I was going to do something masturbatory (er, even more masturbatory, I suppose) and start a ChiefsPlanet Poster of the Week thread, and nominate Simply Red, since he has been flooding my inbox with all kinds of cool-as-shit techno from twenty years ago, and also is a really unique weirdo that gives this forum an extra twinge of flavor. He's like ChiefsPlanet's sarsaparilla.
Because of all the George Zimmerman stuff the past couple weeks, I've been thinking a lot about race and, more broadly, culture. I don't know where some closed-minded people get the idea that we should totally be blind to different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and whatever. I like having friends of different races, at times I seem to prefer it over having white friends simply because I love hearing about other cultures and lifestyles.

Among my inner circle of friends, one (probably my best friend) is a gay dude, and another is a hardcore libertarian -- and I think I prefer talking to them because of our differences more than I do people who have the same experiences and opinions as me. I think a post-racial world, if such a thing exists, is a world where differences are not ignored for the greater good, it's that they are openly acknowledged and celebrated, which creates its own greater good.
Is it okay for grown men to have best friends? I don't think so. I don't know what it is, but I always hesitate to call one or two of my closest friends "best friends." Even though that's technically what we are... Vote in this thread.
I am also pissed off at all my inner circle friends, save a couple, for moving out of Springfield and into awesome towns like Honolulu, Portland, Austin, and Chicago, among others. It takes a lot of work to make a really good friend, and them moving out means I have to make another or something. And that's a royal pain in the ass.
I had two firsts back in June: I had my first brandy, and my first cognac. Cognacs taste like death; my god, it tastes like grain alcohol on steroids, it is so ****ing strong. Brandy tastes like pancake syrup. Too sweet for my tastes.

Other thoughts will develop as the thread prattles on, or falls swiftly to the second page.

Pull up a stool, order a beer, or whatever. And we'll get luv to dance on the bar or something.

So I stop in after having a Chicago dog at Dave's Stagecoach to see if I can pick something up for my wife.

Well, I was surprised to see this Napalm Death - Harmony Corruption in sealed vinyl. The price tag on it is $45. So I flip it over and see the original release year of 1990 and the repress year of 2012. Well, I know there's 4 different pressings of the 2012 repress, red, black, blue, and an elusive flesh colored vinyl. With the steep price tag, I ask the guy, the owner, which pressing this is. He has no clue. None whatsoever. I shake my head and give him the poser stare down and wish him a good day. Seriously though, **** that place.

This does it - I'm buying a Techniques pair of turntables!

regardless of you bad experience, I'm not fired up to bring on a wax collection of white labels.

Direckshun · 07-21-2013, 09:37 AM

What's the cigar thing, again?

You buy all the guys at your work cigars if you've had a baby, or if you've impregnated somebody and are going to have a baby.

I swap out a Beogram with a low end usb player when I'm ripping to my pc. I'm thinking of putting together a regular podcast, but have concerns over the time commitment.

**luv** · 07-21-2013, 10:21 AM

Anyone hung over?

I'm not sure I can pick a favorite beer. I don't really have one go-to beer. I try one I like, and I think it's my new favorite, but then I try another one I really like. I think it just depends on my mood.

This is how I am too. I am currently all about Sam Adams Summer Ale.

That is the way to make beer: seasonal. Knowing that Summer Ale is coming off the shelf at some point makes me want to drink it while I can.

My other go to is Heavy Seas Loose Cannon IPA. It's made in MD so I don't know if you guys would have access to it, but it is tasty.
