Title: Year of the Boar Post by: spacey on February 17, 2007, 04:37:31 PM I'm off to my brother's place for a Chinese New Year party. (His fiancee (suck it Chin) is from Hong Kong and her sister's family emigrated about 3 years ago.) It tends to be busy, loud, and most of the conversations are completely unintelligible to non Cantonese speakers.
By late evening most of the casual guests are gone and the Chinese people adjourn to the basement for all night rounds of Mahjong (having watched them play it looks more like work than fun, very serious business), leaving my family upstairs to relax and to drink. Remy Martin XO tends to flow freely at these events (apparently it's widely appreciated among people from Hong Kong), so I'll tip back a glass or two for the golfhos crowd. Happy New Year bitches.

If there's bourbon present, it's more likely to be Maker's Mark. Free is free, so I won't complain.Title: Re: Year of the Boar Post by: spacey on February 17, 2007, 04:45:29 PM XO ???? >:( I don't understand the question. [Still here. Apparently I misunderstood when Laura said, "I'm ready" that she actually was, in fact, ready.] Title: Re: Year of the Boar Post by: tdcoly on February 17, 2007, 04:46:02 PM Cool. I apologize, cause I'm in kind of a pissy mood tonight. :-\

Just had the kind of day where I didn't meet any expectations at home. :'( That, I guess, put me into the pissy mood. BTW, padre, I am only "child" to you in regards to your worshipness, not age! Title: Re: Year of the Boar Post by: TFT on February 17, 2007, 06:45:12 PM Why do you keep Chinese people in the basement?

I figured it was just the high-end version of the XO-grade. Title: Re: Year of the Boar Post by: gleek on February 17, 2007, 06:49:06 PM Why do you keep Chinese people in the basement? You don't? ??? I thought everybody does. Title: Re: Year of the Boar Post by: spacey on February 17, 2007, 10:38:08 PM Many glasses of Remy Martin XO. [sm_beertoast] Didn't cost me a dime. Worth every penny, but probably much more than that. Chinese people in the basement, on the main floor, upstairs, etc. Total chaos. A good time was had by all. Gung hei fat choi, 'n' *feces*. Bless you my children (but not necessarily in age).
