Well... that would be because when I was in the 1990's, I spent most of it in primary school.

Isn't that darling!  You were what, like a teenager at the time?  Fractions are hard!  Plus those "times tables."

I had the times tables mastered when I was 5, and was doing odd multiplications like 15 x 9 in my head at that age... same with telling the time on analogue clocks.

Fractions I had mastered by the time I was 7. Maths isn't *** hard; and if people think it is - they just don't have a decent enough teacher.

Nice gloves... are they the ones you use to dispose of your victims?

Thank you!  I like them as well. 

No, one uses nitrile gloves when handling biological specimens.

These are my "going a-courtin'" gloves. 

Women are fascinated by them, and men envy them.

They have other uses, though, in a more professional setting.



Actually, I have worn them indoors at a bar during the beginning of the COVID "conspiracy," and recently late at night, since I was wearing a safari jacket, I ran out to the car and grabbed them to demonstrate something about the TV show The A-Team to some people I was talking to.  They are very tight fitting, thin, durable gloves if one needs quality hand protection while retaining the ability to manipulate small objects.

I laughed my sorry arse off. I wonder if hell is a place full of demons playing pieces of music on the piano all seemingly physically in the right key... but they sound a minor 3rd lower in pitch.

That or it's an infinite cycle of...

'the wheels on the bus go round and round...'

[j_tour]

Yeah, but they make a very fine cocktail down there.

[perfect_pitch]

What type of fancy-free guy drinks cocktails???

Whisky, Beer or Cognac. That's all a man is meant to drink.

Wine, if he's in the company of other woman and men who are interested in sharing a bottle, but no frickin' cocktails.

[lostinidlewonder]

I actually don't like wine but when paired with the correct cheese the taste is a lot better thank you to the German and French for that education ahhaha. Haven't you ever hosted a cocktail party? It's a lot of fun, everyone brings a particular bottle and within 30 mins everyone is on the floor paralysed. Eventually you abandon all recepies and improvise alcoholic masterpieces.

That's supposed to be set in hell, remember.  And notice the nasty-ass Jim Beam that Joe Don Baker is improving with a common medication for gastric distress.

A *WHAT*??  Sounds fancy.

There's a place for mixed drinks:  to hide the objectionable flavor of inferior liquors.

A daquiri?  Some musty pirate's rum with a little citrus.

Salmiakkikossu?  Any old vodka with ammonium chloride/licorice candies dissolved in it until black in color.

Anyway, p_p has defended cocktails in the past, so I'm calling him out for perfidy.

However WINE is very good.  Paul Masson Emerald Dry, André's Cold Duck, Night Train, Thunderbird, Franzia Crisp White in a 5L box.  Some of the very best ways to consume over thirty units of alcohol in a sitting, and one's breath is not affected until the metabolites of alcohol start to color one's exhalations after digestion, which can be disguised with breath mints.  Plus, it looks fancy, but is not.

I'm going to bet 1 of 2 things... either:

1) You can't prove it, and you're not going to troll through 261 pages of comments just to find it so you can seem right...

2) By sheer luck you do find it, and prove to everyone you have WAAAAAAAY too much time on your hands.

Your move.

I'm not going to look it up but it wasn't that long ago.  Something about whiskey....where I was talking about the disgusting sounding set of shots known as The Cheeseburger.

Viz., one shot of tequila, one shot of pickle juice, one shot of tomato juice, taken in that order.

Don't be that way!  What's up with that?

Even I haven't had a 'cheeseburger', so I don't know why you're implying that I know more about cocktails than you when I have never heard of it.

You were simping on cocktails and you know it!

But I can't talk about it anymore, because I'm enraged that this fool stole my idea of how to consume snack foods.



And a "Cheeseburger" is not a mixed drink.  It sounds revolting and I've never had one either.  Just heard about it from a bartender.

PROOF!!!!!!!!  ***!!!!!!!

Oh...I might have just wasted a little bit more time on this than is correct.     

Variety is the spice of life, and sometimes when you get sick of Whisky, it's nice to add a little extra something to smooth it out.

I like a good ol' Whisky Mac, which is 3 parts Ginger wine to 2 parts Whisky. Quite nice in summer.

I'm not exactly sure that is classified as a cocktail... It's whisky and wine mixed together... hardly a cocktail.

On a more serious note, how long until imgbb folds and makes every image linked into a broken link?  I give it a year, maybe.  But that's optimistic.  Too bad pianostreet doesn't host images:  it's not like there's a lot of traffic here.

But, then, most of it would be consumed by "senior level" illiterate rubes, so whatever.

And, hey Bob.

...or a 20-foot spoon.

But how else am I meant to eat my custard??? With a *** FORK???

[j_tour]

Just eat it.  Drink it all in.

[lostinidlewonder]

Some people don't know you are supposed to consume custard.

So it is tradition to force them to consume it.

I'm full of custard.  Why don't you all eat mine?

Now you have me worried... eye melting... as in 'Raiders of the lost ark' eye melting type???

[lostinidlewonder]

Yes exactly like that. I remember seeing Raiders of the lost Ark when I was like 5 and that scene used to freak me out ahahah!!! We had it on VHS and I watched the movie like 10000000000 times. Now it's just laughable.... wait... i think i wet my pants.

[perfect_pitch]

I think the one that had me in fear was Ghostbusters... that first scene in the library had me quite horrified.
