Diet Coke w/ Lime.

(My boss gave me a bottle of Maker's Mark today, I think I'll have some in a little while.)

   [sm_shock]

Minute Maid Coolers. 

Le usual.

I'm intruiged by the vodka thing.  I think I'm gonna try me Voddker drank!

good vodka is great...

rare is the man who can drink a fine vodka ... by itself...

but seriously

1 part Skyy
1 part tangerine/oj
1 part ruby red grapefruit juice

Sounds good.  My guess is, I'm gonna be short in the juice dept.

not globally true, but generally true:

cheaper vodka: more joice
better vodka: less juice


skyy is mediocre, but fine for mixing

LOL  I meant in the house! ;)

AHAHAHHA,  pwn3d.  i thought you meant you are a manly man and go 1/2 and 1/2  or stronger  ;)


well then, git yer a$$ to the grocery store

Just returned from Buca di Beppo where I had a Cutthroat Pale Ale. I am now having Maker's Mark and rocks.

Hot chocolate w/whipped cream.

Yes I be a wild man!!!

at least spike that hot cocoa with some whiskey or better yet,  cognac....

He don't drink coffee or hooch!!


Only he didn't realize coffee didn't mean coffee.  Coffee meant........ :o

Somehow I feel like I'm missing out on a joke that I really ought to get.  [sm_scratch]

LOL  No, I just couldn't nail the quote like I should. 

Long *feces*ty day, and I am glad to be watching it fall away at the bottom of each can! ;)

not much of a costanza fan?

Not really. I guess that's the problem.  [sm_dunno]

well in short,  georgie boy didn't know 'come up for coffee'  didn't ACTUALLY mean for 'coffee'
 ;D

I see. I actually thought there was some clue contained within that would help me identify the mysterious poster behind Art Vandelay.

well, it's obviously someone with a costanza  fetish
 [sm_shock]

Oh, that was my leap.  

I only know 1 who drinks no coffee or etoh.

Maybe I'm wrong.

The hot choco. and whipped cream fit though ;D

Not much of an alcohol drinker.  Have only tried adding Bailey's and didn't really care for it.

Whiskey or cognac, you say?  Any particular whiskey?

Not really trying to be mysterious so much as test the waters.  I wasn't "invited" here.  Rather came across it by chance, so am somewhat of a "secret party"crasher.

Anyhow, have had my share of run ins, issues and regrettable posts at FGI, but think such things are all in the past.  Hopefully you Golhos charter members won't mind me hanging around.

So without further ado...'tis I, maf19 of FGI.

LOL. This isn't an "invitation only" place. Glad to have you aboard. Out of curiosity, how did you find us?

ahhhh, the token neocon

"The Iraq War was a huge mistake"


How's that for starters?

 ;D

Besides, I rarely post P&R opinions anymore at the other place.  Moreso just non-partisan smart ass remarks.

It's safer that way anyway. It's become very angry in there lately (he says without absolving himself of partial blame).

Best way I can describe it is that I overheard a fleeting reference to it during discussion between other FGIers and decided to check it out for myself.

I know.  That's precisely why I stepped back.

who are you two instigating over there in p+r  ?

 [sm_devil]

Well, there's our favorite, but there's also a couple of newbies who have been particularly rabid as of late. Then the usual suspects...

Not much has changed.

My last semi-row was with MFAWG and azcowboy, though it was pretty mild compared to how some others go at it.  The mystery FGI Marshall even made a special post warning of ejections if the personal attacks didn't cease.  What was comical was that thread itself very nearly descended into an attack fest.

I didn't notice your encounter with MFAWG (who is every bit as rabid as anyone there) and azcowboy (who, to date, is something of an enigma to me). I do know the FGIMarshal "warning" was in direct response to my telling Ringer in no uncertain terms that I think he's got the intellect of a troglodyte.

I've shared some PMs with FGIMarshal, and I'm having a tough time figuring out who s/he is. I have a mild suspicion that it's Persimmon. The genikopti theory has been thrown around too, but FGIM knows my name (s/he uses it in our correspondence) so I'm guessing it's either someone I've established a rapport with (thus the Persimmon suspicion), or it's someone who has been paying very close attention.l

It was a few weeks ago, and really wasn't much by current standards.  Just a couple of barbed comments back and forth.  That was about when I decided the whole P&R experience was becoming a drain on my FGI fun.

One thing about azcowboy, once he enters a dialogue with someone he will never, ever let the other person have the last word.

Awesome!  I'm glad to see you here.  I think this place becomes a stronger place with people that have diverse opinions.

As for P&R, I thought the early days of that section were actually interesting and educational.  People seemed to have respect for each other and actual converations took place over there.  Now, it seems like the main goal is to be divisive, even though I bet most of the participants have more in common than they'd like to admit.

Regarding "invitation-only", this place is definitely not intended to be like that.  In fact, one of the reasons for starting this forum was to have a place that was open to everyone who wanted a friendlier place to hang out on the side.  Not to be exclusive, secret, or invitation-only at all.

Finally, in a weird way I also kind of look at this place as a little bit of a fresh start in that over at that other place, it was very easy to get sucked into the bickering and drama.  I admit to getting into stupid arguments and overreacting to things that seem trivial now.

Anyway, it's good to see you here.  :)

I really don't think FGIM is Persimmon, but I don't have anything to back that up.  I think that genikopti sometimes is FGIMarshal because of some of the non-American spellings (colour, etc.), as well as some female-sounding phrases.  But I suspect there is another person acting as FGIMarshal that is an old-timer.

Thanks!!

Now, since this thread is already about as jacked as it can get, what's the significance of the karma number, and what makes it change?

Also, what's up with [applaud} {smite}?

I wasn't really thinking Persimmon until he made a sudden re-appearance after a string of PMs I shared with FGIM, and the fact that his sudden re-appearance was in my "should FGIM remain anonymous?" thread with a bunch of sort of pointed questions. I could be completely off base.  [sm_dontknow]

You've answered your own question.

Clicking applaud/smite adds or subtracts to someone's karma.

I think that it's supposed to indicate the goodwill someone has on the forum or how much they contribute.

I could see it being abused, though, and becoming a popularity contest among cliques.

I'm hoping that on this site, that it could be useful if someone were to join here and start annoying members.  If they had a strong negative karma, maybe they would get the hint that they're bugging people, or it would indicate to me that the forum might be better off without them and they should be booted.

It's weird, though, I thought that you could only applaud/smite someone to a person once per your account, but it looks like you can add to another person's karma everyday if you wanted to.  I might tweak that in the future if it gets abused.

spaceage appears to be some sort of a karma monster so far.

You like me, you really, really like me.  :D

the milk from my bowl of late night cereal. 

I've had several personal(email) conversations with Persimmon.  I can say with certainty that he NOT FGIMarshal.  Which only leads to the enigma.  I was pretty sure it was Genikopti, but now, I'm not.

FGIM, hs also signed an email or two to me with: T.

ps To further the t/j..Welcome Maf.  Whenever I see that i always think...."Hey 19,....."

Then for the next 20 min.s I sing Steely Dan tunes in my head.  I dig the A. V. though.

Show about nothin' is one of my all time fav.s ;D

The "T" is an interesting clue, and matches up with something I saw in the past.

I think I read a post by 360flip that speculated that FGIM was tlkerer.  Flip is a member here at GolfHos, but I'm not sure he comes here much to be able to confirm this.

I did a trade once with tlkerer and exchanged some emails with him.  He's a great guy, and if he is in fact FGIM, I feel bad for criticizing the marshal so vehemently in the past.  For a while, I thought FGIM was just some random dude from Active, but I don't think that anymore.

One more than is probably a good idea.  [sm_disgust]

One more...drink?  Are you sloshed? [sm_drinking]

Sloshed? Not quite, but I definitely wouldn't attempt to oprerate a forklift.

 ;D [sm_beertoast]

 [sm_buddies]

LOLOL :o

 [sm_coffee]

Me too [sm_coffee]

New pack of beans today.  We usually use Peets, but ran out of it and got a batch of starbucks sumatra yesterday.

also makin' pancakes.  :)

I ran out of beer, so I started doing tequila shots.  If the tequila runs dry - I only have vodka and cooking wine left.

Never, never, never try to drink cooking wine. Trust me on this. When I was a poor college student, my roommate and I thought it would be a good idea. It is not.

Maker's Mark on rocks here.  [sm_drink]

 [sm_coffee] [sm_coffee] coffee.  got one more paper due tuesday and i'm good for about a month til finals roll around.   [sm_oops]

Coffee
