OT: Who gets the last word?

[Riehlthing]

Of course. They also have some bad killers there. Green River Killer is there. He was pretty psycho and sick. The guards had to read his file so they knew what he was like before he was brought in. Even things not in the papers.

 

[nafnikufesin]

Yeah, but hanging seems a little old west. Do they still use guillotines or hooded executioners with big axes, too?

 

[Riehlthing]

nah, don't use those anymore. the last hanging was 94. the condemned has to request hanging. the standard is lethal injection. 2001 was the last execution. think there's only been 4 executions since they reinstated the death penalty in washington state.

 

[nafnikufesin]

Can you choose to die like the guy from Monty Python and the Meaning of Life? That's what I would choose.

 

[Riehlthing]

that would be a good way to die.

 

[nafnikufesin]

A very good way, if you gotta go

I picked the strawberry Arbor Mist. It was that or exotic fruit, and I'm not feeling very exotic at the moment. And the blackberry merlot just seems dangerous.

 

[Riehlthing]

i like the geworblahminer...whatever it's called.

I seem to remember the Arbor Mist sangria was pretty good. Ended up at TGI Friday's last night, pounding down a few electric lemonades with the missus. (First time in 12 years together I've ever seen her get drunk - and, yes, it was fun to behold.)

Somehow, the drinks weren't as good as the last time I had them - meaning I've got more confidence in trying to mix the damn things here at home.

Sipping a few Double Diamonds while watching King Arthur tonight...

 

[Riehlthing]

might just have to bust out some vodka and improvise something.

 

[nafnikufesin]

Pizza and beer tomorrow during the Grey Cup. Don't really care that much who wins, but I might as well cheer for the west

If I'm going to sip something, some nice and chilled Patron Silver tequila is nice.

My in-laws just spent something like $400 at the Tabor Hill winery in Michigan. They wanted to give us some, but all it would be used for is cooking in my household.

 

[nafnikufesin]

Switched beer night to tonight to coincide with the Grey Cup. I'm up to 470 beers. Probably won't hit the 500 mark until early in the New Year.

 

[remington69]

Now, the question is, how many beers could you get through in one sitting before passing out?

 

[nafnikufesin]

Back in my university days, that was approximately 10 litres of beer (roughly 30 cans). Currently, with my aging metabolism and lower tolerance, probably more in the neighborhood of 12-18, but I haven't put that to the test lately. Recently when I've passed out, it's been due to wine or margaritas.

Well it was another craptacular weekend for me.....My grandma passed away on saturday

 

[nafnikufesin]

I'm really sorry to hear that. How are you holding up?

My condolences to you and your family. Death is hard, and it's even harder around the holidays.

So sorry to hear that, man. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I lost my grandmother (who I was very close to) 15 years ago. Still sometimes hurts, especially when I think of how she would have loved my kids.
