This is a simpler way to do cocktail roulette, and you don't have to build anything.

i will say that the one good thing about my job is that they don't make me work overtime. though i'm still like twitching in anticipation of leaving this place.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

If I start drinking here that will help a lot, I'll get a few extra hours in my schedule if I can do work/drink -> home rather than work -> bar -> home

― I DIED, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

think i'm gonna sneak a million beers into grindhouse tonight

― river wolf, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 22:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Guys I'm going home with no plans to drink.

― Laurel, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 22:57 (seventeen years ago) link

UNACCEPTABLE.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:02 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm going to the empty bottle with no money to drink! i hope to god a regular is working the door so i spend my cover $$$ on beer.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:12 (seventeen years ago) link

aw, the empty bottle! what pinball machine do they have there now?

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:18 (seventeen years ago) link

― river wolf, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:19 (seventeen years ago) link

guys i'm tired how am i going to make it through a 3 hour movie

― river wolf, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

hmm

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

buy a large coke and drink most of it in the first five minutes so you have to pee really bad through the whole thing?

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

dude the pinball machine is GONE!!! it broke down and they couldn't get anyone to fix it. shit, that reminds me of a hobby/vocation/calling i meant to investigate...

the bottle has been very good to me. it has been the deciding factor in choosing my last two apartments. last one was around the corner from it, i could hear the bands from my bathroom if the window was open. this one is a block away but still well within staggering distance.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:21 (seventeen years ago) link

alternate answer: don't stay awake

xpost noooooooooo!

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i had no idea you lived to so close, kev.

...i'm drinking coffee. i might go for the hippy eightball. may also sneak in a sixpack of beers. i mean, i'm gonna be there for a while, right?

― river wolf, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:23 (seventeen years ago) link

old place = 2340 w augusta, 3 doors down from western. the alley from my back door led directly to the bottle. new place is a block north of it on thomas. next place will be far far away from the bottle.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:25 (seventeen years ago) link

gotta get a cup

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Living within walking distance of a bar you love is the best terrible idea ever.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

My three years of living two blocks from the Red Dragon in MPLS will attest to this fact.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

yr just gonna spend a fortune in cab fare

― river wolf, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

next apartment won't be in the central time zone. not sure if i'm going west or east or what but i can not stay in chicago anymore.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 23:32 (seventeen years ago) link

i stand by my original statement

I had a very entertaining metro ride from work to school today. I didn't hear a word of english the whole time. First there was this lonely-looking girl with a bluetooth earpiece wearing a FRAGGLE ROCK t-shirt, than there was this group of four african women speaking some crazy african language very energetically and one of them was flipping through a hardcore PORN MAGAZINE. Then this thai/vietnamese student posse got on and chattered in who-knows-what for a couple stops while PORN LADY kept flipping pages and showing occasional "interesting" pages to her neighbor african lady and then I got off the train at Foggy Bottom where chinese hu-qin busker dude was playing some tune that started off sounding like Amazing Grace and ended up sounding like Climb Every Mountain.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 19 April 2007 00:57 (seventeen years ago) link

man i fucking miss the city

― river wolf, Thursday, 19 April 2007 01:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, this is really late but "ENGLANDE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― HI DERE, Thursday, 19 April 2007 01:28 (seventeen years ago) link

dude no shit i JUST listened to that like 30 minutes ago

― river wolf, Thursday, 19 April 2007 01:28 (seventeen years ago) link

TOMBOT I suspect it is the same chinese hu-qin busker dude who sometimes "graces" the dupont south metro entrance/exit with his "interpretation" of Bette Middler's "Wing Beneath My Wings."

Mornings no which said busker dude is playing at dupont pretty much wreck my day, full stop.

― quincie, Thursday, 19 April 2007 02:15 (seventeen years ago) link

A sisal rug. Plants for a container deck garden. Cartons of cigarettes from South Carolina. One of each dress at stopstaringclothing.com. A portrait-sized mirror for over your fireplace. A fireplace. New headphones, collapsible ones.

― Laurel, Thursday, 19 April 2007 02:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Search ebay for a favorite out-of-production dish pattern to start collecting. Or a pottery house whose work you like. Or a new, emerging artist whose work you can still afford. Pick out a new favorite French perfume. Buy portable speakers for your ipod, or a patent leather folding case with the speakers built in.

Welcome to my wishlist.

― Laurel, Thursday, 19 April 2007 02:43 (seventeen years ago) link
