Well crap...replied to wrong thread.

So...

1. Why are you such a drunk bastard? :P
2. What do you think of the game of mafia where I turned everyone against you? :P
3. What's your favorite music?
4. If ronandaggy was a hotdog, would you eat it?
5. Sandwich?

1) Depression. Kills the pain, but only for a day. Kinda sucks.
2) Can't remember that one specifically. Maybe I was drunk, or just blocked it out 'cause it sucked so bad. Probably a combo of the two. Link?
3) Grunge. Pearl Jam is my favorite band, but I'm pretty diverse. I like Tool, Sevendust, Norah Jones, Alison Krauss, Duncan Sheik...I dunno, I run that gamut.
4) No. Would be too goddamned tough methinks.
5) Sandwich? Huh...lemme think. Guess I would have to go with a BLT (organic, free-range, extra thick bacon) with guacamole and basil. As well as Jersey-Drover cheese and whole wheat, hand made bread. Yeah. Good ****.

1)Insanity. Period.
2)Anurism. Spelling is crap but I am too drunk to care, you get the idea. It's ****ing ignoble.
3)The latter. If I got my paws on 1 million dollars it would be really, really ugly, I promise you.
4) Idiots, of course. Silly question. Watch out, if I ever get the power you might be a target

Favorite food?

Top 10 favorite movies?

When did you get into Magic cards and who/how did you get involved?

Are we (America) going into a depression?

Where do you see the future of America's economy and general state heading and what could be done, in your opinion, to better it?

Only the best,
Jesse

1) Don't drink. Ever. Don't let addiction rule your life. I'm goddamned serious.

2) I just can't answer this question in short form. My life is a failure. Don't do what I did dammit.

3) Proper control of my finances. Just can't get it quite right. I live paycheck to paycheck, and it's foolish.

4) No. More. Trolls. ****es me off. Apparently it's acceptable to be a child when you don't have to have courage face to face. This, I feel, is complete bull****. If you can't say it whilst looking a person in the eyes, then don't say it.

5) Drinking. Sad, but true. Nobody I know can drink me under the table. Wanna take that challenge, make sure your liver is ready for it. Mine is.

1) Too drunk right now to figure that out. Sorry man :/
2) I work at a worker owned cooperative restaurant. I wait tables, host, cook, whatever needs done. I love it.
3) About a year ago. I have 50 credit hours in at Ohio University, with a 3.7 GPA.
4) Tough question. I drink so much that I don't try to find outlets. When I do, on rare occasion, I drum and sing and swing around the nunchakus. I'm a fair drummer, decent singer, and masterful chucker.
5) Alison Krauss, a week ago in Ketterington just east of Dayton (OH). It was AMAZING.

You're right. I should. However, the problem is this: I'm smarter than anyone who has ever tried to help me (aside from my mother), so I can break down their pathetic methods in my head and see them for what they are, and I immediately lose respect for them. At that point, they lose all ability to intervene. AA doesn't work either, 'cause they're all ****ing hypocrites. All of them. I tried. Not sure what to do, honestly. Also, you'd have to understand the town I live in. It's a nightmare for someone who doesn't want to drink.

1) I'm not in that man's head. I have no effin' clue.
2) Gin and Tonic, Irish Aspirin, and Guinness.
3) Gin and Tonic, Jameson and OJ, Guinness.

1) 7 Years ago, when I turned 21. Wasn't worried about the legality of the thing, just didn't like booze 'till then.
2) Both. Don't really care, so long as booze is involved.
3) At this point? Whiskey. I hated liquor for years and was always a beer man, but **** it...the more direct route makes sense.
4) Tequila and Rum both suck equally. If I had to choose? Rum.
5) Green.

1) Serra Avatar.
2) White.
3) Can't answer this, don't play anymore. Had a nasty casual Soldier deck at one point, guess that would work.
4) Casual? EDH? Been too long since I played.
5) Friends getting ****ed at eachother.

For lack of a better way to put it bro, there's not a snowball's chance in hell. Good luck though, 'cause frankly, I wouldn't mind. Hell amigo, I'm 16 shots of whiskey, 9 beers, and a half a bottle of wine in. Find me a typo. There might be one, or maybe even two, but ****...most people would have died of alcohol poisoning by now. P.S. I'm not done :P

1) ****, in no specific order:

Legends of the Fall
Fight Club
Kick Ass
Tombstone
Romeo + Juliet
V for Vendetta
Lord of the Rings
Requiem for a Dream
Pulp Fiction
Stand by Me

2) Er...1995ish? Was always a fantasy/gaming dork, read about it in EGM and got hooked.

3) We are the Roman Empire reviseted. Wait for the fall.

4) Hell. Nukes. Apocalypse. We need the instant gratification nature of our society to face a cataclysm. It's all just masturbation at this point.

[/QUOTE]

1) Well hell, 3? Why?

Legends of the Fall, rips my ****ing hear out.
Fight Club, makes me effin' Chuckle.
Pulp Fiction, most quotable movie ever. Ever.

2) Damn you, this is tough.

Lord of the Rings and all that that entails, 'cause Tolkien was a genius.
Song of Ice and Fire, 'cause Martin is an unscrupulous, brutal bastard.
Art of War, because Sun Tzu knew exactly what was up. With everyone, everywhere, always.

3) Oops, missed the TV shows.

Stargate and all it's permutations, because I'm a dork.
Star Trek, for the same reasons.
Firefly. You know why.

4) It's awesome, but I work in a very, very unique environment. Casanueva.com will tell you most of what you need to know about that. Advice? No matter how ****ty someone gets with you, let it roll off your shoulder. They'll still tip you, and you'll likely never see them again. Take care of your regulars, drink lots of coffee, and take joy in the small things, 'cause that's all you'll get. Drink on the job if you can, and if you can't, pray.

DUI, Disorderly Conduct by Fighting, Vandalism, a brief stint in the Drunk Tank and multiple unpleasant run-ins with the police that never resulted in anything. Mostly, I've just been lucky and sneaky. I actually beat up 3 dudes, but only got busted for one, and I never started the fights, just finished them. I'm not violent or mouthy when drunk, but somehow I just rub certain dudes the wrong way, and they try to **** with me. Seems to be a bad idea. Guess I got good reflexes or something.

I'm sorry bro, but I won't answer this question honestly or specifically. I live with more shame than most people could probably handle, and I haven't hit 30 yet. Suffice it to say, I've learned through harsh trial, and harsh error, to behave myself. Trust me when I say you don't want to know.

Honestly? I hope he's more human than his legend would lead us to believe. Aside from his (very human) reaction to discovering that Lancelot and Guinevere betrayed him, we are lead to believe that he was essentially perfect. I don't buy it. I think that he was a well intentioned but fundamentally flawed person, just like most of us. Because he did so much good in his time, his failures were omitted from the story, over time. Damned sad, 'cause they would have added so much depth to the tale.

Good question man

Edit: Damn, just realized you were playin' on my handle. Urgh.

Do you ever feel like you take joking about alcholism too far?

What i mean is, i get it when you say you joke about it for lack of a more appropriate reaction. But do you ever think you take it further than anyone else who might joke about it, and go to the extent of just being annoying or appearing like you're bragging?

If you don't wanna tell us the most embarassing or worst drunken things you regret, what about the second worst? What is the most regrettable/ stupid/ hilarious/ grossest/ dangerous thing you've done drunken - that you are able to share?
