I don't usually associate Good Friday with frivolity, but OK, we're living in a strange new world.

Ms. Nekkid Badhu is being charged with disorderly conduct for disrobing in public in Dallas, someone who witnessed it finally filed a complaint so the police could act. No fine for being a tasteless bitch however.

I'm glad this open thread is available.  I usually hang around for the ONT on the week ends, but tonight I'm experimenting with Absinthe for the first time.  Traditional preparation method with the spoon & sugar cube.  Might not be able to hang on...

I am out of creme eggs.  This is an Epic Tragedy people!  Epic! 

I have been exercising supreme control and have promised myself I would not eat any creme eggs until Easter. So, I feel your pain.

Reactionary, please keep us updated on the experience. I have a bottle and glasses and spoon that I got for Christmas that I haven't yet tried.

Just 2 more days. 2 mores days and all ur booze r belong to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh????? OK, I know that we all know that Jesus rose again etc. but shouldn't we at least continue to pretend that the day he was nailed to a cross and died was not a party day?

Initial impression:  positive.  I did the 50-50 mix with the sugar cube, and took a tentative sip.  It slid down smoothly, and at first it seemed improbable that it was really 138 proof.  However, after a moment, the warmth spread in the stomach and esophagus.  Mmm..  I'm starting to feel... relaxed.

Alas - the liquor store only had French varieties.  I hear tell that the Eastern European brands are the only ones likely to give you visions.

The first Stargate series was the best one.

I'd never watched it until last year.

I'm hulu-ing it right this very moment. Hulu says the episodes of SG-1 will be available until May 15, so of any of you are interested, you might want to get started.

SyFee Fi Fum insists on showing the episodes in random order, just to fuck with me, I know.

32 Umm or kill you outright.

To be fair, all Eastern European liquor has that risk.

err.. but I don't have a problem with booze or anything.. I could quit drinkin' anytime I like.. just like that! *snap*

Yeah, see that's why I gave it up, to be sure that was still true. The Obama presidency really made my alcohol consumption go waaaaay up.

Didn't they already do that and just end up recharging the ship?

That show doesn't thrill me, but many shows are not great in the first season.  Maybe this season will wow me?  I hope so, since good sci fi is so rare and precious.  I do like the plot element where the fat dude gets no puddin'.  SciFi has to keep the human interaction realistic, even in the most improbable setting.  Otherwise it loses its appeal.  And the hot chick does not sleep with the fat dude until all the handsome guys are dead and the fat guy has the last of the food and water.

I, too, noticed that comment and was very surprised.  You always need a bin to throw the misfit/reject stuff - the ONT is perfect for those of us who fall into that category.  That way more "serious" (???) posters can avoid it and those of us too drunk to comment intelligently on other threads still have a place.  It's like Vegas used to be - a nice place for America to dump all its vice and depravity and isolate it from everyone else. 

Every episode they were going to a different planet but it was always the same -- they visited a villagers who looked like employees of a Renaissance Fair.

I've noticed that SG Atlantis has the same flaw.

Yeah, see that's why I gave it up, to be sure that was still true. The Obama presidency really made my alcohol consumption go waaaaay up.

hmmmmmm

((((looking around))))))

she must be hiding, have crush will return

The thing is the ONT sometimes has very erudite discussions, like the other night and the whole crusades/middle ages/church conversation. And there are some very smart MoFos who hang out on the ONT and usually have ready answers for even the most arcane questions.

But, yeah, I mean we gotta temper that with the whole "why does aspargus pee smell" thing.

Crap.  It's not the ONT crew, it's the morning/noon crew.  They're so uptight, if you stuck a lump of coal up their ass, it'd turn into a diamond.  A brown diamond.  That smelled bad.

It was a legitimate line of inquiry.  Better than some of the decadent ONT topics.

i want whats inside the purple tank top.

 87  Aren't you supposed to wear your tags at all times in the field?

i don't know about the other services but when i worked on a flight deck, we put ours on our shoe laces so if we got sucked into a jet intake and came out hamburger the boot would survive

for boarding parties and when i was with a boat unit we wore black ones also on our boots

otherwise sailors rarely wear them, makes you look like fresh meat on a ship

Rum, tell me how you like it. I was actually a bit disappointed in it, though my son thought the grown up with the land speeder bed and all the cool tech gadgets was awesome.  He didnÂ’t really like the movie though, he thought it was boring. I didnÂ’t think it was boring, I just wish it had been a bit better.

Every episode they were going to a different planet but it was always the same

I may start a drinking game where you drink every time they have carefully added a US Mail box to the Canadian location where they film it. For the times they are on Earth, that is.

Reactionary, I still have some of the absinthe I smuggled over from Czech Republic, made with wormwood. Friend and I had some as you did, with the sugar cube, and my wife wouldn't let me drink it with her in the house because she heard about that guy who beat his spouse to hamburger after downing about three bottles.

We got a nice buzz and that was it. Not sure what would happen if I killed the rest of the liter.

Posted by: wherestherum at April 02, 2010 09:08 PM (gofDd)

Indeed.  Personally I think that if you can't relax and enjoy the non-seriousness of the ONT at night, then you weren't nearly angry enough during the day.  By 10 PM my anger has smoldered for hours and hours - I have to let it burn out.  How better to ease the resentment and bitterness the Liberals make us feel than to go to the ONT?  Where the company is pretty far Right, much of it good, solid, hardcore Right, and you get to discuss topics ranging far and wide.  It's a balm for the soul.  And the only behavior that is harshly judged is stupidity, and even then only the bad kind of stupidity.  I remember a time when I exchanged shots for quite some time regarding the disgust I feel for having kids - and not once was I accused of being a big fat meanie, or anything else stupid and dismissive.  Where else is that gonna happen?

Yeah, so I've read.  Still, fun to imagine it.  There was a crappy but somewhat amusing movie a few years back called Road Trip where the characters went on an absinthe trip - pretty funny. 

I bought the bottle partly out of curiosity.  Never tried this stuff until tonight.  Also, I pride myself on how well my bar is stocked, and I didn't have any.  I have about 68 bottles of different liquors and liqueurs, and keep an eye for for new stuff.  When I do parties I like to be able to serve any drink my guests can come up with.  i may not have any social skills, charm, or wit - but by God, I have liquor.  I enjoy going to small town bars and comparing their stash to mine - and laughing.

I understand what you're saying, and agree to some extent.  But at the Walmart in my town it's not "ordinary" Americans you see - they're very sub-ordinary.  Disturbingly so in some cases.  Just visited the local Walmart last week - it was disheartening, and I felt a twinge of sympathy for the eugenicists.

I've never been in one anywhere in the country where I didn't find myself surrounded by mutants. It's so damned depressing. Nothing can grind out the last tiny ounce of optimism I might have on any given day for the future of mankind, than a trip to Wal-Mart.

I just watched all the episodes of the 6th season in the last 2 days myself.

I dislike Jack. Grew tired of that asshole. Such an emo puss.

Have always liked Sawyer. Freckles is a slut but she's hot (and she has freckles, always a plus). Somebody needs to kill Jack so Sawyer will get her.

Very disappointed they keep ressurecting the love triangle crap. Only thing I hate about the show. I thought it was finally done with it with Juliette but then they blew her up and now we're back to square one. But she's on V which is still quite acceptable in it's return, even if it didn't do anything ballsy and shocking.

I liked Locke too. Now... well...

Miles I didn't care for but he's growing on me.

SGU sucks balls.

MamaAJ...it's okay, you can trust me

I really did look it up on the torrentz for you.

Yeh, the deep voice is really not convincing me...

I am horribly offended by the body switching in the show as there seems to be no boundries as to what the person can do.  They get drunk, have sex and do just about anything they want.

Think about it, you switch with a person, for all you know who loves to have sex with goats.  You switch bodies and go to a crappy ship with annoying people, on top of that he uses your body to bang his favorite goat!

Just remember what I said all you geeks out there, Eli will never get any, unless he kills all the other guys.  A great plot twist I say!

Except they're hawking the mythology a bit more than the characters, but that isn't too bad.

Well they have to. The characters have been there for 6 seasons. The plots been barely revealed.

They better explain this shit before they kill everyone off and end the sucker. Which they finally kind of have done now.

I am horribly offended by the body switching in the show as there seems to be no boundries as to what the person can do.  They get drunk, have sex and do just about anything they want.

Yeh, that was a little disturbing.

So... I haven't watched SGU in ages and ain't tonight.. but I see there's this show on now called Merlin. Hmm. Authurian legends. Always good stuff.

WTF GAY CRAP IS THIS?

They're all like 16 years old and the show is like some lame after school special but with homoeroticism.

"I just want Arthur to see me for who I really am! Waaaah"

"Oh Merlin, one day he will. Here let me wipe horse shit off your face and just knock if all over the floor"

God whatever slash fan-fic writing fat goth chick is in charge of the Syphillis Channel now can have it.

What the hell ever happened to Dr. Who???

I never thought I would say this but...

I am seriously boggled at you people's damn obsession with her breasts.

What the hell?

You know, Major Rack gets most of the chatter.  The show should emphasize her character more.  Hers and Colonel Gruff. 

Keep the camera on the money, guys.

OTOH, that scene tonight where the new engineer guy heard her talking about him... I thought her and Dr. Nurse were playing a joke--that it wasn't serious.  I thought she did a good job of faking her interest in the guy with deliberate bad acting.  But what if it wasn't a joke, and that's the best she can do?

What am I saying?  I didn't notice any acting.  Keep away from my man card.

Maybe Chloe will turn out to be a Goa'Uld...somebody has to be...

@217

I think the new Doctor Who season (or series, I believe they call it in the UK) starts up tomorrow in the UK.  So it should be up "somewhere" on the Internet tomorrow evening, not that I would know or suggest where to get such things.  I'm much more looking forward to that than I am the new SGU.
