Friday night "The Lounge is Dead" drinking thread

[Droopy]

Hello all you lounge zombies. Unless you're too busy eating the brains of the living, how about reporting what you have in your glass?

The old Droopster is still in the land of the living thanks to beer and pizza rolls. And that anti-depressant sure isn't hurting, either. The doc told me to cut back on the power drinking, though, but I can still have a few for "medicinal purposes."

I've got my supply of Miller Lite to keep me alive and kicking. It's not too bad for what one DUer called, "lawnmower beer."

Chime in with your favorite drinking songs, too, if you'd like. Let's start the drinking festivities.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

1. Lawnmower beer, LOL

I'd like a nice dry red wine. Thank you Droopy!

[Droopy]

11. Well I'd love to fetch you a drink, but

I haven't figured out how to post pics, yet. This is the best I can do, just imagine he's drinking wine: :beer:

[fluffernutter]

2. Mike's Hard Lime here.

:toast: cheers!

[StopTheMorans]

3. Droopy, among the countless other reasons I have for liking you,

I will have to add "Miller Lite Drinker" to the list. What do you think of the High Life? Have you ever tried the High Life Lite (I just had it last night; not a huge fan)?

[Amaya]

7. I'm drinking some leftover wine

If I can make it tomorrow would ya buy me a drink? :beer:

[StopTheMorans]

9. sure, if your appetites lean towards the cheap

j/k if you show up; i'll buy you a drink of your choosing *crosses fingers* :evilgrin:

[Amaya]

13. Great!

Now, I'll really try to make it. FREE DRINKS! :evilgrin:

[StopTheMorans]

20. drinks at grendel's den are reasonably priced too

and, my favorite thing about it:

hanging outside of the unisex bathrooms is the "vote to impeach" ad with *'s face on it, and someone has drawn a little hitler mustache on shithead's mug (it was there the last time i was in there, which was this summer, hope it's still there). gotta love cambridge!

[Droopy]

8. I'll drink the High Life, but I'm not too fond of it

It has sort of a sweet taste to it that I don't like. I went through a period of experimentation with other brews no too long ago, but I keep coming back to Miller Lite.

[StopTheMorans]

10. i don't find myself straying as much as i'd used to;

i find that now, if i want variety, i buy a 12-pack of bottles instead of cans. miller lite is great; you can drink it all night, and it never gives you a nasty hangover (you can't say the same for expensive wine :evilgrin:

[Droopy]

15. Oh! And thanks for the props my friend.

I appreciate it, to use a trucker term. When some other trucker helps us out we always say, "I appreciate it," except it comes out, "preciate it."

[Rumba]

4. California chardonnay

I know, I'm a wine-sipping pinko liberal. But damn, it's nice to live near wine country. I might also have a little sauvignon blanc just to piss off the freepers.

[Droopy]

18. Hey we're all brothers and sisters in alcohol here

We don't discriminate on the form. Wine drinkers are welcome as long as you don't try to get too sophisticated on us. ;)

[teach1st]

5. Cheap vodka and generic lemon-lime soda

Any song's a drinking song once you've drank enough! Even "Afternoon Delight."

[Droopy]

23. That's true about the music

It seems like all music sounds better when you're drinking.

[amerikat]

6. Rolling Rock. And here are the lyrics to Monty Python's classic

drinking song. I think it's called "Bruces Song".

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.

[Longgrain]

12. Keystone Ice

Yeah, I know, pug whore Coors' company :puke: . Maybe I should switch to Natural Ice, but it's cheep and since I went poor, I can't afford Guinness.

Now that's a beer :toast: :beer: :toast:

[tjdee]

14. I discovered I hate port.

But since that's the only thing in the house, and it's me birthday, I guess that's what I'm drinkin!
Maybe I can mix it with juice or something.

[StopTheMorans]

16. Happy Birthday!

should I ask, or no?

[tjdee]

19. 28.

If that's what you wanted to ask! :evilgrin:

And thanks!

[StopTheMorans]

22. you're welcome, and yes, that's what i was going to ask

:party: can i make this thing stop at 28 (and one to grow on)? :spank:

[meganmonkey]

17. i just did a shot of tequila in front of my folks & grandpa

visiting them in florida - we went to a yummy mexican restaurant and i had to follow my meal with a shot. my folks' reaction was somewhere between impressed and horrified, and my 94 year old pop-pop just said 'you sure drank that down quick!'

hee hee!

[Droopy]

21. lol!

Gramps, that tequila isn't sipping whiskey!

[Droopy]

24. C'mon, I know more of you slackers are out there throwing a few back

Now drop and give me 6...............beers.

[Liberal_Andy]

25. Miller High Life

:beer:

[Berserker]

26. Miller Lite and I'm on # 11

and I'm 10 feet tall and bullet proof

[Droopy]

27. Cheers, Berserker

Don't go out out of the house. We know and love you for the Berserker that you are and would hate to see you altered in some way if you get my drift. :toast:

[flying_monkeys]

28. Coffee here. I have kids that wake up at Oh Dark Thirty so

No booze here (but last night was fun).

[Droopy]

29. Oh, c'mon. How about a little Baily's Irish Cream in that coffee.

You know you want to!

[flying_monkeys]

31. Oh that would be sooooooo good! Or Kahlua

Been so long I forget how to spell Kahlua!


Ya twisted my arm so I am sipping a cheap Natural Ice beer now (gak, how I wish it was baily's or Kahlua instead!)

edited: is Kahlua supposed to have an H on the end? Kahluah?

[Droopy]

32. That's the spirit!

I don't know how to spell Kahlua, either.

[flaminbats]

30. some strong Greek wine..

Cabernet70% Merlot30% from Vounena, Thessaly

pink elelphants are getting better than the grey ones..

[Spider Jerusalem]

33. Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout.

9% ABV.

[Cerridwen]

34. Guinness - as always

:toast: :toast:

[BlueCollar]

35. Cuba libres

knocking back rum and coke tonight...

[Droopy]

36. I don't get into mixed drinks, but

rum and Coke is one of my favorites. I'd say my favorite is Captain Morgan's spiced rum and Sprite.

[Philostopher]

37. Red, red wine. And it isn't even Sunday!

Not sure if you'll get that one -- or anybody else will either, for that matter.

"Now I ain't no connoiseur cat -
Some conno-sewer(kinda sewer) rat
Red red wine on Sunday
Always tastes so good
Red red wine
Red red wine
Red red wine if you would"

I'll let that one rest for a while, and if nobody else has dropped by here who knows who did the song, and anybody wants to know, I'll say who it was.

[Droopy]

38. I remember a sort of ragae type song called something like

"Red, Red Wine" that was popular back in the early to mid 90s. I don't recall the group and I think the song was a cover of an older version. Probably not the one you are thinking of, though. I think the group's name was UB40.

[Philostopher]

39. That song was by UB40.

The original was written by Neil Diamond (and, presumably, recorded by him back in the sixties).

This one predates the UB40 cover of the Neil Diamond song, but it isn't the same one. I don't know if anybody will recognize it -- the band who did the song wasn't obscure to people my age, but I'm older than most people who hang out in the Lounge this time of night on the weekends, nobody may recognize it.

[Philostopher]

41. Piggybacking on my own thread.

In case anybody cares -- the song is by The Replacements, it was on their album "Pleased To Meet Me", released in 1987.

[FuzzySlippers]

40. I'm not drinking anything.

What I'd really like is one of those intravenous morphine pump set-ups. Any idea where I can get one?

[Droopy]

42. No idea

But if you find one let me know where I can get one, also.

[GingerSnaps]

43. Irish Tea with cream in it

It's a holiday tradition at my house. I could go for a beer right now so do me a favor and hand one through the screen please :D

[Droopy]

44. Unfortunately, I don't have one of those Star Trek thingies

hooked up to my computer so I can't teletransport you a brewskie. But if you lived nearby I'd surely let you partake of my stash. I've got a twelve pack in the frige just waiting for some company.

[GingerSnaps]

45. Thanks

I would do the same for you :hug:

[WINEWOMAN7]

46. 97 Grand Cru French Chablis

Oh, It's great.

Dian

[huellewig]

47. Milwaukee's Best Ice, AKA The Beast..

And shit, it is 4:44 AM. Oh well, I don't have to work in the morning. For the hell off it I am listening to Weezer. First time in about ten years since I have listened to them. Takes me back to High School when I would stay up writing papers for the jocks to earn beer money.
