Seasoned Roamer runner Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hitting 10,000 posts without a custom title was the reason, yes. And instead Drakey kept adding more levels of post title. But then he moved the goalposts on me so I could never get to Postaroni, Pizzabella! —Alorael, who has decided that today is the day for a custom title. He's given himself a few daily ones, which may or may not have been noticed, but he's feeling a permanent change coming on. Maybe it'll last out the week! you still do this!! (the signature thing) Sorry if that's random, but I just returned to this forum after a long absence. One of the things that reminds me of this place is you, with your clever signature quotes. I was excited to see you still do them, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 What would have shaken things up is if you stopped changing your PDN on a daily post basis and went back to the Alorael days of yore. But prophecy says that will only happen when you are tied to the stone table, killed, and rise up three days later to snipe every pedestrian that walks the face of the earth.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 According to an awfully bombastic book I read once, the way to catch a bird that cannot bear to be caged is to become the sky. That line was by far the best thing about the book, and I'm not saying it's all that great a line. Alorael has just figured out that the way to catch all the hidden supplies of skribbane is to become the cellar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I know the purity on the streets have gone down since I first picked up my habit. That's not accidental; if I buy out all the orange bottle supplies it only stands to reason that everyone else will have to make do with the unprocessed stuff. And inferior quality, I might add. I do have standards. —Alorael, who is tempted to add a bear to his avatar now. If only he were actually a qualified artist!

I'm not a huge fan of whiskey, although I would still rate Jameson higher than Guinness. (Kind of hard to compare a distilled alcohol to a beer though). I forgot about Bailey's Irish Cream.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I've only ever had Bailey's Irish Cream once. My family and I were sitting around my grandmother's living room one night, tasting all the old booze in her liquor cabinet to see what, if anything, was still good. Much of it was delicious. We discovered after we had all tried the Bailey's, however, that it was so old it had turned to cheese. We threw that one out. Nowadays I'm on too much medication to drink alcohol, so my favorite beer (out of the two non-alcoholic beers I've tried, the other being O'Doul's, blech) is Kirin 0.00% ABV beer from Japan. I lament that I can't drink whiskey, having tried Laphroaig once and determining that I could easily acquire a taste for it, but other than that I can get most of the tastes I want from non-alcoholic sources. I'm not a fan of the taste of alcohol in general, nor of the idea of becoming intoxicated, so things like "sparkling wine" and "sparkling cider" (high-quality fruit juice with fizz), rum cake, non-alcoholic beer, non-alcoholic egg nog, etc. suit me just fine. There's just nothing that approximates the taste of whiskey without alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Non-alcoholic beer, de-caffeinated coffee. Both seem equally pointless to me. They are both wrong on so many different levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 The point is to get the taste without the drugs, obviously. I've been known to twenty cups of strong decaf coffee in one day. My stomach regrets it later, but boy is it tasty. Kirin is also delicious. Beer without alcohol is pretty much just a soft drink, and would you say drinking other soft drinks, say, lemon-lime soda, is pointless? Beside the obvious nutritional aspect, we generally eat and drink various things because they're tasty. Intoxication is equally (hopefully not more) important to some people, but it's not to everyone, and to people like me it's harmful. Beer is very tasty. I don't want to give it up just because I can't get drunk on it. (Note that I can't drink more than two or three cups of regular coffee in a day without getting sick, for the same reasons I can't drink alcohol.)

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 There's also the social aspect. Beer and coffee are often consumed in social situations. Since not everyone can or wants to consume alcohol or large amounts of caffeine, non-alcoholic beer and decaffeinated coffee can allow people to participate more naturally in social situations. I've been known to twenty cups of strong decaf coffee in one day. My stomach regrets it later, but boy is it tasty. Swish and spit? If it works for wine...
