Q: Is Orangina and vodka an acceptable alternative

Apparently mimosa is 1:1 orange juice and champagne while buck's fizz is 1:2. Never tried a mimosa but sounds like too much orange juice.

To me it's as matter of how much OJ (too acidic) or champagne/sparkling wine (too damn sweet) one can or should drink
― The Silky Veils of Alfred (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 21 August 2018 12:32 (five years ago) link
the answer is none
― mark s, Tuesday, 21 August 2018 12:41 (five years ago) link
If it’s dry champagne and it’s 2/3 champgne, 1/3 oj, then mimosas are good

feel like those are both variations on the screwdriver, "the hammer" and "the nightmarishly multiform electric drill," respectively

Nooooo not true it is the best fun
― flamboyant goon tie included, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 01:58 (five years ago) link
strong agree w/ fgti
However I also think flaking out on plans and staying in is generally the best idea
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:16 (five years ago) link
hit me with an example
going to the beach? Boringhiking/exercise/any kind of outdoor activity? Never funParties? Sometimes, but usually boring.Vacations? BORING
I mean what is planned fun? Is planned fun going to a show, or going to see a movie with friends, or getting dinner with someone? That's all fun. I just despise pretty much all activities that prioritize fun.
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:26 (five years ago) link
hiking/exercise/any kind of outdoor activity? Never fun
Depends on one's idea of 'fun'. If it means giggling fits, then sure no fun. If it means a deeply pleasant and satisfying day spent in nature, then... woo-hoo!

yeah I've tried this it's boring as shit
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:32 (five years ago) link
of course vacations are boring, unless you're in a city. wtf are you supposed to do for more than a day?
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:33 (five years ago) link
flaking is bad and rude, imo you get 3 strikes and then you stop being invited... but spontaneity is worse. i love making fun plans
― flopson, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:33 (five years ago) link
vacations in cities are the most boring vacations because all cities are the same
lmfao no
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:34 (five years ago) link
i used to be like flappy and not love vacations. all i can say is, i hope you see the light my man
― flopson, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:35 (five years ago) link
I will never go to the beach ever again (if I can) but I would love to go back to Rome ASAP
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:35 (five years ago) link
all cities are the same is a major controp
The point of a vacation, in part, is to be a little boring.
― The Silky Veils of Alfred (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:36 (five years ago) link
Seriously though what do you do on vacation when you're on like... an island or a beach town or something. There is nothing to do.....?
xp I don't understand
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:36 (five years ago) link
boring as shit
let's just agree we have different personalities and different ideas of fun.

more beach for me

oh yeah that's another thing, even an empty beach gets boring after an hour. how TF can you enjoy yourself or be comfortable at a beach with strangers? I really don't get it but hope you have fun
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:39 (five years ago) link
I was at the beach five nights three weeks ago! I wasn't on the beach for hours. I'd read in the morning, swim in the pool for a while, lunch, hang out on the beach w/my friends till about four, shower and mix drinks, go out for dinner. It was awesome.

I have never really had a vacation so I can't really weigh in on that, they sound nice tho

The Oregon coastline really has nothing in common with anything on the Atlantic seaboard, or anywhere else on the Pacific coast I know about, for that matter. You wouldn't understand unless you spent a lot of time there.

I don’t think I’ve been to the beach in about 30 years. I went to Brighton a few years ago but that’s not a beach, it’s the world’s largest rock garden, with waves.

Boring things are good, cf “things that are boring but good” threadThere are gradations to flaking but in many cases it’s reprehensible. I’d rather someone flake on me entirely and tell me in advance than be more than 14 minutes late, though.
― faculty w1fe (silby), Wednesday, 22 August 2018 03:05 (five years ago) link
i think i learned to truly love vacation when i deeply hated my job/life. now i like my job/life but still love vacays. also i never get bored (this seems like an artefacf of pre-smartphone life? i’ve friends who literally go on silent retreats to reexperience boredom lol)
on vacation: sleep in, read, drink coffee, swim, tan, eat, drink, sex if it’s an option. like ill go on vacation in florida idgaf. im kind of a lazy vacationer don’t love a packed itinerary one light activity per day max. also i like “nature shit”, i do like 5 day hikes in the woods w my pals where we camp every night and eat gruel

if you feel like a vacation is imposing itself on you then you're doing something wrong
― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 03:10 (five years ago) link
i will p much never cancel plans outside of being sick or having a car break down. makes you think harder before saying "yes" - if the option sounds like shit, just say "no" rather than saying "yes" and planning to make up some bullshit excuse day of
