Aw. Have some Beam for your efforts.

you can vouch for me, right?

girlgun - Hurray! (You and yer man can come to the ceremony - drinks are on me)

i'll just have a shirley temple... because.... i'm STRAIGHT EDGE!

I hear that straight edge is the new rockabilly.

make up yr fuggin' miiiind.

*Makes note to make "Shirley Temple" cocktail at some point in life*

if i did drink, it wouldn't be beam. IF (and i mean IF) i drank, i'd take some makers. kthx.

you're fucking dead, dude.

sXe can't have Maker's. That's for pros.

Also I'm broke.

*Melly scratches head - do I invite girlgun to Grammys or run away from her*
*thinks*
*decides to take life into own hands anyway*

you're probably right. thank god i'm not a pro!

i'm interesting like that. and i feel you've made the right decision.

haha acoustic. why must they charge so much? (not that i would know of course)

You and Cantanky together would be quite something, I tell thee.

*adds another +1 to Grammy invite list*

I dunno why they charge so much, but I actually do like Beam more. Lucky for my wallet. When I get Maker's it's just a shot-bottle or at the bar. I can't afford a bottle.

i suspect that girl is probably a good time.

beam is the only thing (other than any type of tequila) that i detest.

i'm making that up because i don't really drink.

I detest green-label Beam, but black/white is great on the rocks.

I could imagine you both giving it the old straight edge/total rock chick thang at the Grammys, and me having to explain it all...or just thinking "Fuck It" and get pissed and making an arse of myself. :D

i don't know which beam it is that i hate. it was one of those vomiting things that happened 20 years ago and turned me off forever. of course i've thrown up beer and vodka and whiskey and well... mostly everything... but beam was the only one that stuck.

(lie)

Hahaha. "No, see they're...It's like sarcasm because...Oh fuck you all!"

how long do you think me and cantank could actually behave? (i actually just cackled, i'll have you know)

Er, 2 seconds?

Actually, make that....3. ;)

Every time I have Beam it's turned out to be a really good night. That may be why. Association is a huge determining factor in alcohol.

But you wouldn't know.

i think you may be overestimating us.

actually i'm generally pretty well behaved. it's only when i'm LOADED and i mean LOADED do i get into trouble.

(i'm pathological)

good times are great.

i have a good time at denny's with a glass of OJ. because that's what straight edge people do.

We wanna be free. We wanna get Loaded and have a good time!"

(cue girlgun anthem).

If you're at Denny's and not drinking an Island Fizz soda, you're not having a good time.

Do straight edgers drink carbonated beverages?

probably? if it doesn't have caffeine?

Straight edgers take out their frustration on anything and everything bad for you.

Mostly violence, but carbonation too.

I had one of those in a japanese restaurant yesterday:



pretty awesome, actually.

I drink beer because I am weak. I despise hard liquor.
Whenever I open a pint of Guinness, it's not without a little bit of shame. I just don't want to stomach shit that tastes like bleach to get drunk. I crave flavor.
When I'm not drinking Guinness, I'm drinking Bass Pale Ale. Fuck I love that stuff.
While it's relevant, I think it's reasonable to make Guinness the official beer of the Sonic Youth forums. I've said it before and already got some positive feedback. I don't even know how I'd go about properly measuring response, or if it's worth trying.
Anybody feel like sharing their thoughts on this? I won't be crushed if you tell me it's a worthless endeavor.

Back to my Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA. Really good, especially for under 7 bucks a sixer.

i hate it too but their rye is actually very yummy!

Nothing makes me want beer more than not being able to drink it. Stupid,
necessary medication.

get more medication to make up for it!

xanax is yummy.

ha ha ok maybe not such a great idea.

well ok, how about hm kava? can you take kava? it is yummier than xanax as it lacks the chemical edge. very mellow, and it's sold as a harmless tea (it is harmless-- mostly, i think).

Beer's nasty.

I used to think so too--when I was like 7!

Mmm, beer tastes so good after a satisfying evening of recording at home:
