Only if you have to work.

Why, do you need one?  Or just have the day off and feel like starting early.

So, tough day at the office, eh?  Maybe you should learn to like Jamison's and keep a pint in the desk drawer.

I'm out at the moment.  Darnit. 

Hey Frosti - got any Irish whiskey for the picnic?  :)

Speaking of coffee, I found some insulated coffee mugs in the basement at our old place that hadn't been used for years.  I boxed them up and unpacked them at the new place, putting them in the cupboard.  Last week I used Perkins cup with no issues.  But today I grabbed a white Super America cup with a blue lid.  When I started drinking coffee out of it, I got this bitter taste under the coffee.  It tasted like an ashtray.  And then I had a vague recollection of finding this mug a long time ago stuffed with cig butts, maybe even from when I was still smoking.

Blurg.  I want to go buy a toothbrush.

See, this is why I hate to drink coffee out of plastic, which absorbs flavors. Gimme a ceramic mug anyoleday.

<edit> And just think, your mouth used to taste like that all the time...

Million dollar idea.  Coffee with nicotine added.  Two two two cravings in one!  Quick, to the patent office!

Or cigarettes with coffee aroma & caffeine.  heh.

You could go that way too.  But with coffee as the delivery system, you could still "smoke" even in the non-smoking section and on airplanes!

I threw that coffee cup away.

Anyone care for a finger or two?

Er, no thanks.  I'll stick with the beer.  You keep your fingers where I can see 'em.

And prolly a bit of output too, for that matter.

Heh, that reminds me.

Remember the McDonald's ad campaign back in, oh, the 80s I think. Had a guy playing the piano with a HUGE crescent moon for a head?

My grandmother called him Lyle because she insisted he looked Just Like Lyle Lovett.

You're older than me. Andolder than Mrs Frosti, I might add, since she's not around to remind you.

Nice.  Drinking culture is going to hell.  (Says the guilty as charged guy who used to drink Zima-T's.  For those unfamiliar with this devastatingly drinkable beverage, what you do is take a bottle of Zima, pour out the neck's worth of Zima and refill with Long Island Iced Tea booze (the bar I used to go to had that booze mix in the gun so it was easy).  It wasn't on the official drink list, and rightfully so.  They were brutal.  I have no defense, except to say that I was way into getting blotto fast - and they were actually good tasting with the extra booze)

I'm a purist. I don't like drink mixes, like margs or long island iced tea. I like very few mixed drinks. Very dry vodka martinis or vodka and cranberry juice are really the only fancy drinks I choose. I'm more likely to drink whiskey over ice, or scotch neat. Or beer, natch.

I generally drink beer, Captain Morgan/Coke, or Gin and Tonic.

Nowadays, I mostly drink beer, or Irish whiskey on the rocks with a beer.  Occasionally I'll have a rum drink, if A is having one.

You're allergic to beer.
