Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[payn]

I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.

I should probably mention I was just using this term loosely as a contrast to the toxic negative fandom people were raising as a concern. It was a very informal label.

I’ve seen people be insufferable about their inability to deal with someone not liking something - thinking some Critical Role Reddits for example. But generally they stick to their forums. That’s more insufferable than toxic, I think.

While waiting for to pick up my son from work I read about the consumption of Rum and Grog in the British Navy. Its all quite amazing to me that we made it through the Age of Sail.

Is it the same stare that he gives the unopened bottle of vermouth?

The Winston Churchill Martini

Fill a mixing glass with ice.
Put in a generous helping of Plymouth gin.
Nod towards France.
Strain into glass.


Or, as popularly recounted-

Snarf walked into a bar. He asked for a stirred gin Martini. Very dry.

The bartender said. "How dry?"

Snarf replied, "As dry as you can make it."

Bartender: Okay, you want me to give it a quick rinse of vermouth and then pour the vermouth out?

Snarf: No. Not dry enough. I want you to pour the gin over the ice, and before you stir, I want you to say "vermouth" over the mixing glass.

The bartender proceeded to do as instructed, and than said ... "Vermouth," to which Snarf replied, "TOO LOUD!"

I used to believe this too UNTIL I heard that you should put your vermouth in the fridge and now I’ve totally switched sides on this

At the bar where I used to work, I'd keep the Vermouth in a small atomizer bottle in the refrigerator. When someone ordered a "very dry" martini, I would ice the gin and strain it into the glass, and then give it a light spritz...just a whisper...of the chilled Vermouth over the top. I made sure to do this where the customer could see it.

I got lots of compliments (and tips) for that trick.

I was the world's worst bartender. One of my first big blunders was an order for whisky on the rocks, in which I put the ice in then filled the entire glass with whisky. The customer was very happy with his order but my boss was not pleased. The less you know about my Mai Tai the better

Immediate neighbor has a heavy duty fan that blows it out of HIS house, into MINE, and the people behind me, with our respective yards between us, it comes wafting in at all hours. Its just wild at this point, and I cannot wait to move.

Someone wants to partake in a setting that doesnt impact anyone else? Go nuts, I dont care. Once you are leaving a haze behind you that is going into everyone else's houses? Please stumble into traffic.

I was driving down a neighborhood road one night- maybe 5 minutes from my house- when I drove through a cloud of smoke blowing across the road. My windows were down; it was a nice late fall evening. I was expecting the smell of someone doing a kick ass BBQ.

It was a cloud of WEED smoke.

How much weed do you have to light to generate a visible cloud that’s blowing down the street?
