So Maddie is convinced that there's a black clown living inside her stuffed cow that's going to come out and get her.
Does that make her a racist?
Black, like skin? Or black, like Shadow Link?
Probably like Shadow Link, since I don't think she understands "black" in the racial sense.
edit: She's weird, though. On Christmas we told her she couldn't have any more marshmallows, because she'd had too many. Then she found one behind the tree. She pointed it out, and I asked what it was doing. She said, "It's mocking me."
Don't you also have an awesome niece

"Were you afraid, Uncle Jeff?"
"Yeah, I don't much like bats."
"You shouldn't be afraid of bats. They're like Batman, just shrunk down small."

My daughter somehow managed to get two rumballs the other day, and then stumbled around and was all "I love you" and shit like the stereotypical drunk.
It was one of the more absurd things I've ever seen.
I forget the exact recipe, but it involves rum, powdered sugar, a lot of crushed vanilla wafers, and some other stuff. They're fucking delicious, but also pretty strong (depending, of course, on how much and what proof rum you use). My daughter asked me for one, so I gave her one figuring, hell, what harm can just a little do? Then, it seems, after I went upstairs, she asked my wife for one, and said I hadn't given her one yet, so she got a second one.
I just read a few posts here and there from the last few days.
Was half the forum drunk, or something?
Yeah I came back from Maine and it was all mood: manic. And probably not really the pick-a-fight and clean-the-fuck-out-of-your-apartment manic but something closer to the put-your-eyes-out-with-kitchen-shears manic.

Will -- I watched Oldboy. Boy it sure was something to look at, but that was the dumbest story I've watched in years. I won't write your tastes off based on that film alone, but let it be known you now reside squarely in 'suspect' territory.
When I was a kid my uncles used to give me sips of their beer. Now I'm a drunk. Learn from me.
My uncle gave me a sip of his beer once when I was a kid, and it was awful. And still, to this day, I don't fucking like beer.
Same. 'course I'm still underage, but if alcohol is an accquired taste then I'm in no hurry to accquire it.
There's plenty of delicious alcohol, but beer is most certainly an "acquired" taste. The whole concept of intentionally acquiring a taste for something I don't currently enjoy never made sense to me.
Now is it just me, or whenever there is a relationship problem in the H/A forums, do most of the people usually agree to dump/break up the relationship. :?

Eh it was gorgeous and had magnificent long takes, was plotted unconventionally and had enough of fucked-upness-in-a-foreign-place that I could groove on it in sort of the same way that I like Tennessee Williams.
Anyways what are some of your mainstays? I guess I probably should have established this before I made a recommendation.
Also, The Bad Sleep Well was fine, but not extraordinary. Kurosawa is an incredibly disciplined filmmaker and storyteller, but to modern tastes it can come off as plodding at times. Toshiro Mifune is always a pleasure to watch.

If you're making a relationship thread in H/A, you've pretty much passed the point where it's salvageable. :P

By the time they're spelling out their woes on the intertrons and asking for anonymous advice, the writing is pretty much on the wall.
edit: beat by Than but honestly I said it with so much more verve.

To be fair, if you've got a problem bad enough that it requires a committee to come up with a solution, then things are in bad shape. A greater number of those are probably at the legitimate point where the only thing left to do is to limit the fallout.
Well some of the problems I saw, seems just like the person is confused, sure there are the ones that didn't end up too well, "they fucked on the boat". Doesn't mean all relationships there couldn't be fixed.

I dunno, when I first really started drinknig beer, I drank the cheapest crap I could find because I was a poor high-school/college student. Later when quantity wasn't so much of an issue, and I started earning some $$$ I found that after drinking Milwaukees Best or Natural Ice some beer acutally had some taste to it, and it was good. I don't think I'm at the point where I'm a beer snob though.

So, you only like beer now because you drank shitty beer for long enough that non-shitty beer tasted great?

I think that even if you wait to start drinking, you'll probably be stupid and overdo it a bit whenever you do start.
Yeah.
I guess I was lucky that I was in europe and with people who knew what they were doing when I first started, since I haven't had a bad drinking experience yet.

I haven't had a bad drinking experience per se, but I look back on my first few months of drinking and realize that I drank too much too often. Luckily nothing bad came out of it, except that I looked kind of dumb I guess, but so did a lot of other people.

Shit, I've been drinking for years and still fuck up occasionally. Like the weekend before Christmas when I forgot I hadn't eaten all day prior to drinking a copious amount of Goldshlager (sp?).

Yeah, I've had two drinks intending to just relax and ended up kind of drunk because I forgot I was dehydrated and hungry.

It's not knowing how to drink (because American has more than it's fair share of professional drinkers, sadly), it's the entire culture surrounding drinking. One of these days we'll get past the puritanical idea that if simply say something is naughty, people won't do it, and realize the more taboo you make something, the more fucked up people's interaction with it gets.

You guys are all wimps.
Or I'm just lucky. I have a kidney disorder that's a total mixed bag.
So, I have elevated levels of Cystine in me and Cystine is known to counter alcohol (They say eat apples to help with hangovers). I sober from totally wasted to stone sober in a couple hours. It rocks. I never, ever get sick from alcohol.
Of course, I have kidney stones to look forward to, but I'll enjoy this thing while I'm young.

I have a metabolic disorder which enabled me to eat whatever i wanted, whenever i wanted, and not even worry about getting fat. in fact, i had to eat a high protein, high carb diet to avoid just turning into a stickbitch.
lots of people have fast metabolisms this way, but mine was so bad it was a serious health problem and had i not gone on medication to correct it, my metabolism would've burnt out by 25 and i would've died.
so, i mean, i miss not having to watch what i eat or worry about getting a gut, but at the same time

We brought a kitten into the house for a day.

If anyone else would like to share theirs mine is thevioletforest and I am a talkable and agreeable person who does enjoy a chat

More like I can appreciate good beer because I drank shitty beer for so long that it tasted not bad. But I think wine is vile.
