QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) How does one explain the enigma that is Samuel L. Jackson? For every "The Negotiator," "Pulp Fiction," and "Unbreakable," there's a "Snakes on a Plane," "Sphere" and "xXx: State of the Union." I mean, he's done some FANTASTIC movies. And some absolutely AWFUL ones. I don't know Sam's take on it, but I liken it to Michael Cain's approach to filmmaking. He has had some great roles in some great films, and he's also been in some real turkeys. And he has nearly 140 films under his belt since he first started out in film in the mid-1950s. When asked why he wasn't more selective about the roles he took, Cain says proudly that he's nevver turned down a part if he can fit it into his schedule. He grew up in working class London and has a very workingclass attitude toward acting. He's grateful to have the talent to be an actor rather than a ditchdigger, and for him an actor should be spending his time acting rather than waiting for the perfect role that might never come.

Happy Belated Birthday!

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 03:44 AM) False and false. The person below me wishes they could start all over again. False. But I wouldn't mind stopping the birthday thing at around 29 or so. The person below me will see the store windows all done up for Christmas on State Street this year.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 6, 2008 -> 12:03 PM) False. The person below me is happy with their job. TRUE. The person below me thinks that alcohol is the cause of. . . and solution to. .. all of life's problems.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Dec 6, 2008 -> 07:56 AM) GOD DAMMIT. Is every radio station going for the Drex in the Morning format? I loved Dahl on 104.3, him and Buzz had a great on-air relationship. Things change so much over time. Buzz used to be Brandmeyer's sidekick/newsguy/harp player way back in the day.

Yeah, I pretty much grew up on matinee teevee horror and Fangoria and whatnot, and he was a big part of that. He always seemed like a really cool guy and alwas a kid and fan at heart.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) nah, you can make an eggnog White Russian That sounds quite good. What would you call it - An Elfin' Russian? Love the nog, spiked and unspiked. Last year I did hot buttered rum for the first time at Christmas and it was a huge hit, so I'm not sure eggnog is going to be able to recapture the holiday booze crown or not.

False. The person below me "dresses" to the left.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 10:26 AM) Guinness is crap. This is the stuff if you need a stout: One of the greatest beers ever made. A fine beer indeed. But DON'T badmouth Guinness, it's a gift from the Beer Gods.

There's nobody right noew other than me right now who coudl even go down to the levy drinking whiskey and rye because nobody eles even has aby rye. This'll Be the day that I die. . /7th. . maj and the three men I admired most were alwasy Moe, Latty ands Cjurley anyway.

Achy, switch ed from rum to rye for an eastern sour and immediately realize what a mistak that was. Old Everholt or not, switching from rum to ryte a the end of a night of drinking appeass thus far to be an ill-advised move. Agai9n, I hold muself blamekless and blame Beachbum Berry. yea drinidrunk!

#%#!!@! 1960s-era Hurricane with 4 oz jamaican dark rum, chased with a Trinidad Queen Park swizzle with 3 oz aged Demerara. Damn you, Beachbum Berry and your Grog Log! There's at leaswt 3 more drinks I want to spin up tonight, but than I'd miss work tomorrow and lose my job.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 11:04 PM) True. The person below me has seen the movie Casino. True. The person below me (guys only) has tucked his junk between his legs to see how he'd look with a mangina.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 11:09 PM) Besides ambiance, I cannot tell a difference between the can and a "takes three minutes" to pour drought at my local pub. I agree, the nitro widget actually does quite a nice job. Still, nothing beats the original widget-free "bulldog" Guinness Foriegn Extra Stout in a bottle every now and again.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 11:02 PM) I thought it said "Beer Midget," and I thought this was an incredible idea. SPIT TAKE!! :lolhitting QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 11:04 PM) And I was just reading they have a "rocket widget" that fits in their bottles slowly releasing the nitro and causing that perfect creamy head to last the entire pint. This is so much fun, I'm on my third. See my recent drunk thread post. *hic!*

I don't believe I'm technically drunk yet, but I just finished my second Boo Loo 1965 of the night. In addition to various juices and also some honey, the Boo Loo has 4.5 ounces of rum of four different varieties: Aged Demerara, PR Gold, dark Jamaican, and 151. The blender is tempting me to mix up Boo Loo #3, but that might make for a hard morning.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 10:55 PM) False. Although I don't like all of the music on my computer--I have listened to every damn song. The person below me thinks that Bob Dylan should win the Nobel Prize for literature. True. The person below me egged and/or TP'd houses and yards in his/her neighborhood at Halloween in their youth.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 10:43 PM) Jim, and I know you will know this, what the hell is the "widget" in my Guiness Draught can? You can hear it rattling around inside, but when you open the beer there is a rustling noise and a heavenly bouquet erupts. Indeed, I know the widget It is a nitrogen ampule that ruptures when you open the can or bottle, releasing seed nitrogen to give your Guinness that authentic draught head. I believe the inventor of the Guinness widget should receive a Nobel Prize for science. :drink

QUOTE (G&T @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 04:22 PM) False. Severely false. The person below me finds Princes Leia hot in that skimpy little number when she's in Jabba's palace. ^^^ TRUE!! ^^^ (Of course, I was a teenager when I first saw the film, so that probably has something to do with it). The person below me never once got their chocolate on anybody's peanut butter, or vice-versa.
