Tonic Water: Contains [chat]inine



Canada Dry makes tiny little glass bottles containing Tonic Water. They are twice as expensive as the little litre bottles. But they allow for fizzyness over a long period of time. So, talk about that.

I might pay that, since I am not in the habit of drinking soda water in one-litre servings. They're also good size for throwing once you've filled them back up with holy water.

This week's episode of Kings invokes The Culkin.

I do not know what to make of this development.

Mike Lewis said...

we really need to fix the column sizes.

_J_ said...

Yes we do.

Also, two guesses as to "Who loves gin."

The first two guesses do not count and the answer is _J_.

Also, I'm going to die alone and unfulfilled and remain obsessed with a girl I dated in college who has completely forgotten about me.

GIN!

Even with Culkin, I thought this was probably the best episode. While a wee bit predictable it was, it actually got me to start to believe the hype you have injected into this show.

We need a fucking coin that's worth more than 1/4 of a meaningful unit of currency. Having a dollar coin to supplement the dollar bill is retarded. Lose that bill shit. Make a five dollar coin, too.

$1 bills are the product of a diseased mind.

Unknown said...

I agree coins as meaningful currency need to exist in such a way that you don't have to carry a ton of them around with you. You can't just half ass coin as meaninful currency.

Roscoe said...

Would you prefer coins we can tear apart?

Pieces of Eight, perhaps?

Unknown said...

No, small coins serve a purpose, obviously, but as a society, our physical financial needs have changed. When we instituted the basis of the currency system we currently use, a dime could have bought you an entire meal; a $20 bill was a rare commodity to the common man and could have bought you an acre plus the materials to buy a house.

Our system needs to adapt and frankly it is trying and doing so too slowly. In my mind, in a proper system, a man should be able to buy the things he buys on a daily basis with coins, and not be worried about carrying around bills when unnecessary. Frankly, our current denominations can not support that anymore.

On a side note, I give it 20 years and none of this matters, when we switch to a purely digital economic system. It would be sooner but the paranoid, money-in-their-matress types will slow the process and government will have no option but to comply.

If sales tax were figured in on the shelf and if we could get people past the idea that pricing something at $11.99 instead of $12.00 makes customers think it costs less by more than one penny, then we could have whole number prices which would largely obviate the necessity counting of change. Then, once we stop expecting nigh-worthless change after every transaction, then we could introduce coins as substituion for paper in denominations which are of worth.

I hate viruses.

I love gin.

I have spent the eve3ning trying to remove a trojan from my computer, failing, and so having to restart.

And then I started drinking.

In the end, gin wins and virus must fail.

The problem is that i have lost another day before the end of term and, sadly, someting else. Oh yeah, i missed my raid because i had to reinstall windows.

Fuckinh trojans.

Caleb said...

Damn.

Unknown said...

Should have just hired a Spartan. Spartans kill Trojans and Persians with extreme efficiency.

_J_ said...

I do not remember making that post.

So I was up until 5 a.m. reformatting laptop, reinstalling Windows, downloading a fuck-ton of Windows patches, etc.

BLECK.

This evening I get to finish patching everything, install Office, and try to crank out my final papers.

OH
BOY

I have wanted to reformat for a while. So, yeah, this is fantastic in that it gave me a need to reformat. But I would have pre3ferred for this to have happened not a week before the last week of classes.

Caleb said...

I get to go to work tomorrow at 5 a.m. to reboot everything.

_J_ said...

WoW account hacked. very sad.

Unknown said...

ZOMG!

Unknown said...

Was the trojan also a key logger, I take it?
