I wasn't unsure about the time difference, I just meant that it's always beer o'clock somewhere in the world.
Seconded.

+1, for sure. And sorry for misunderstanding. . . I'm not in my right mind just now. Give me another Long Hammer and I'll likely be much better off.
gogo alcoholism FTW!!!1!
Third's on that.
Whenever my doctor tells me about why I should drink less I counter that it's cheeper for the society the faster I die. She concurs.
Been sleeping and reading in bead as laying down helps. I need to build some system that I can use computer laying down.
Watched telly and drank beer. Too drunk now to play D2 or anything else.
So bottoms up :guiness:

There are some people here who aren't sober?

That's pretty funny. Also, it's cheep, like the budgie.

Cheers to Ulla, FE, and Thy (who should really be pounding it down like the rest of us)!
Dinner-making time round these parts. . . and for the first time in a long time, I will play no role in the cooking, which leaves more time for the pounding. At this rate, I won't be hungry for food by the time it arrives. Oh well.
Another LongHammer, if you please. I need to get to bed early so I'm bright and shiny for the interview tomorrow, but I'm sort of feeling a self-destructive drinking session coming on. Oh well. Bottoms up!
und was ist "budgie"?

Uh, lame joke made 'famous' by Guy Ritchie's Lock Stock.

I just ran across this ad for an apartment:
And another beer for the JayGun! Woo!
Edit: and I can't believe the filter blocks "***". Jeez. *** is not really much of a slur these days, as it has been appropriated with great success and relish by the group to which it refers. Oh well.
I just ran across this ad for an apartment:
Conservative *** couple looking to rent their Efficiency Garage Apartment, all bills payed, access to laundry, small kitchen area, & bathroom. Sits behind historical tudor home in quiet neighborhood in N Oak Cliff, close to [. . .]. NO PETS! Looking for responsible person who can pay rent on time each month without being asked. Includes Wireless Internet, electricity, and water. Currently occupied, but will be be available at the end of this month.
I sent the guys an email. Now to what do you think "conservative *** couple" refers? Like, Rush Limbaugh but with a boyfriend instead of pills? or more like "not wild and crazy?" I'll let the bar know how it goes. . .

I thought you meant *** not ***. That sounds so promising man, I'm really pleased for you. As long as they're not Newt Gingrich and Peter Andre you should be fine. I hope this isn't misconstrued (+1 for using misconstrued after ten cans of beer, and spelling it correctly both times), but in my area of the world conservative *** is an oxymoron, although obviously I know they do exist.
GL JSG. Another beer for us both! <manhug>
GL JSG. Another beer for us both! <manhug>
Yep. On my worldview Conservative *** is a complete contradiction in terms, but round here there is such a thing as the "Log Cabin Republicans," which you can google if you like.
But the guy has replied, and I'm about to go out for a cigarette and give him a call to see if I can schedule a viewing and/or figure out to what Conservative *** refers.
Will report back shortly. . .

Don't let the beer do the talking, let the natural charisma of JayGun shine through. We all know it's in you.
I'm having an 'obtuse words' contest with my sister. Things got a little uncomfortable when satyriasis, with a nod towards me. Thus endeth the lesson.

Well, the fellow I talked to didn't sound much like a raving lunatic, so I'll assume Conservative *** Couple refers to "not wild and crazy". Their current tenant will be moving out on (or by) Sunday, so I'll be going to check it out some time after that. In the mean time, mominem started up "A Hard Days Night", so I'll pound some beers and watch the Beatles lip synch. Good times.
By the way, I had to look up satyriasis. . . and it's something that I've not experienced in quite some time. Oh well.

I don't like the Beatles. I like two of their songs, and apparently they're not their best songs.
I presume most people will have to look up satyriasis, to be fair it is fairly obscure. It just so happens its descriptive of me.

I first heard the Beatles through another import. . . in 1990ish, Candy Flip did a cover of Strawberry Fields Forever and I thought it was the best thing I ever heard. For the next 5 or 6 years, I was a huge Beatles fan. At one point, I boasted that I knew more about the Beatles than Paul McCartney.
But then I grew up. Still am perfectly happy with the Beatles, but prefer other sorts of music and have not actively listened to them in ~10 years.
But it was fun watching A Hard Days Night. Just easy entertainment. Simple, relatively quick, easy, good times.
And once I looked up satyriasis, I remembered hearing about it some in grad school, usually in the context of "Have you ever heard of nymphomania? Yes? Well I bet you never heard of satyriasis? Sexist Pig" and this in a classroom setting. Good times.
Ok. One more beer and then I must get my still beautiful rest for the interview tomorrow. Fun stuff. Suit and Tie? Slacks and Tie? Slacks and nice shirt? Hummm. . .

I should go to bed as well. It is 0340 after all, and since the daily is already up, and I'm too scared to make an SPF Eddie blog...
However, I'm not drunk and there's still cold ones in the fridge. So N.O.T.R. if you've ever seen that episode of Mock The Week.
I'll see you in the morning (i.e. a few hours from now) with a hangover. I'll give up my booth in the Bar for now and slouch off to my sister's lapdancing sofa.

Have a good night, FE! And I hope the lapdancing sofa treats you to some nice dreams anyway. 
There's still cold ones here as well, but there's enough for two more nights of paced drinking, or one more blow out (always nice to have options), and I'm feeling fine as wine at present, and I have an interview tomorrow, so I guess I'll lay off, watch the tele for a bit, read a chapter Mendelbrot's book about markets and pass on out. Good times.
Good night Bar! :guiness:

I'm just so damned tired...
I would type out yet another WoT to tell you about all the crap, but I'm too tired to do that. I can tell you that it began raining sometime after my morning post, and never let up. It's still coming down. People were driving like morons, and I came very close to being rear-ended twice. I flipped them both off, and one had the nerve to blow the horn at me. So I made an even more lewd gesture and yelled something obscene at them.
In regard to the planned trip to Texas, you should have a layover in Charlotte. I know an awesome little diner-type restaraunt there, but you have to be early to lunch or late for breakfast to actually get a table. They have a pound and a half burger that will destroy you. (And probably your colon later) Worth it though. And while you're here, you could even find out what real barbecue tastes like. :tongue:
@THY: I'm sorry, it was my turn to tie down a returnee. I was too tired, though, and somebody had moved the rope. It is no longer under the bar, beside the squid repellant and the keg of root beer.
@EMB: Big day tomorrow, hopefully more relaxing than the previous couple. I'm gonna get breakfast, then get my beard trimmed, and probably sit down for a nice lunch. Then I have a certain item to pick up, then I'll probably ride for a while and then have pizza or something for supper. So I must get to sleep! Good night!

You guys were busy here in the bar whilst I was sleeping/working. I would have liked to have responded much sooner. I find it kind of funny that tonight at work there was very little to do, but I was more busy than ever. I got pulled aside to assist in tasks that I'm not even supposed to do. So while everyone else got an extra hour of break time tonight, I basically worked through it all just to make it through all the tasks I had been assigned.
My reaction to all of it: I've now started my weekend, and I'm four beers in, so apparently I'm enjoying the fact I'm no longer at work.
Best fortune cookie message I've ever had: "You are the best at everything." That, too, made me laugh. I kept that in my wallet for a lo-o-ong time.
JayGun was right about the Dim Sum, in that it was all basically steamed dumplings. I've started enjoying the basic Chinese dumpling in the last couple years. I don't like onions, so sometimes I find the scallions to be too overbearing. These ones were prime, though. Plus, they had some that looked somewhat like crowns, so that the dough came to points and you could see the filling when looking at it from above. But it was all great. I'll be hitting that place up way before I go back to a fast-food Chinese place.
As a quick aside to Monsieurs JayGun and FastE: I would be incredibly honored to have you both visit. As much as I'd like to see FastE put his money toward something more useful in his life, I can't say that I didn't get excited when he was saying he was giving some serious thought toward taking a trip state-side. I have to admit that I don't have the most accommodating space for two visitors (I don't even have a couch for someone to crash on! I am about to get two loveseats... :dontknow
. And I don't know how good a representative I would be for the greater CapTexas area. That said, there's very little that I can think of at the moment that would make me more anticipatory for the future. We'd probably spend the nights drinking/watching bad movies/playing cards/going to diners at 2am/smoking cigs (sorry FastE, but it'll happen), while the days would be about recovery from drinking/driving around town/mini-golf/resupplying beer. If that sounds like fun... well, I've earned nearly two weeks of paid time off, I'll probably be free weekends regardless of whether or not I'm fired soon, and I could use a couple friends with whom to enjoy being alive. Whether this would happen in mere weeks or even years from now, I doubt there'd be many other experiences as pleasurable as this.
@pman: A colon-busting 1.5 pound burger sounds like the very last thing I'd want before I got onto an airplane. Maybe that's just me... :scratchchin:
@JayGun: $13k a year in rent?! Is that including utilities? Still, that's nuts. I don't live in an extravagant part of town, but I'm guessing a year here will cost me $8,400 for the year in rent/utilities. ...Maybe you should be my neighbor instead of living in a city you probably don't love that much... And by the by, hope your interview went well! There's a celebratory beer here waiting for you when you get back! :thumbup:
edit: Gaah! WoT, anybody? Y'all'll have to suffer through it, spanky! Oh, and beer me, please. Dos Equis amber, por favor.

Well, 13K/year would of course include utilities and internet (I hope). Around here, most everything was built after ~1970, and most apartments have appeared since 1990 or so. And the vast majority of apartment complexes ask ~900/month for on bedroom and about 700 square feet. I'm looking for something around 600/month (though I'm willing to go to 750, and would prefer to pay ~500), and my only options so far have been apartments that are a part of a complex with 800+ units and that exist in a sea of other apartment complexes: yuck. Luckily I have a line on that garage unit, and stuff like that is not the most popular, so I should be able to find something more my style. *fingers-crossed* And maybe I should just truck it down to Austin. Life there is definitely more my speed, and since A is pretty much an overgrown college town I suspect that people's political views are much more similar to mine than the average Dallasite.
And thanks for the interview well-wishing. I think it went fairly well. I had competent and reasoned answers to all her questions, and she seemed positive, and I think there would be quite a bit of opportunity for growth and career development should I get the position. I should hear something in a couple of weeks. *fingers-crossed-but-not-holding-my-breath*
And despite being ready for a celebratory beer (I stopped on the way home and grabbed a 4-pack of Leviathan IPA (from Harpoon), purportedly the best IPA in the US, with a rate beer score of 99 or so. Expensive, but hopefully very tasty (and around 9% iirc)), I haven't even had lunch yet, and once I have lunch, I'll want a nap, and after the nap, I'll want a small snack. But after the snack, and sometime around 4:00, I'll definitely be cranking it up, unless I decide to D2 for awhile. But the celebratory beer is on its way (and I'll have a virtual one immediately).
As to coming down, I'm ready, and I have some experience sleeping on love seats Andy Capp style, so let's get with FE and make some plans! Or just make some on our own!

I'm down with a visit any time you are! Bring MacQwerty and we could begin a wonderful D2 relationship!
I agree about D/FW vs. ATX: of the two, I'd consider Austin to be the more avant-garde city. Finding employment that suits you is questionable, of course, considering the current job crisis. Still. It's something to consider.
That said, this homosexual conservative lead you've got could have some potential. "Access to 'fill-in-the-blank-household-amenities-'" sounds questionable and like it could be a real PItA, but it could very well turn out to be exactly what you need.
My apartment complex is rather large-ish, but I can't beat the price. $480 w/ a washer & dryer? The place is only 550 sq. ft., but I don't own a lot and it's just me, so I don't need a ton of space. If I could survive in a 13x10 dorm room for four years, the area I've got is more than enough to keep me happy for a while.
edit: What do you think the co-residents of my apt-plex think of me when I'm standing outside, smoking cigs and drinking beers at 9am. lolz
