Not sure if serious...

I'm not drunk most of the time. I just drink. A nip from a flask here and there throughout the day. A beer or two for lunch hour. Also, NY is filled with drunk people in their 30s. I'd fit it more than anything.
And an old liver.
Liver is so overrated.
Seriously. I mean, what has it done for you lately?
In that case, luck has nothing to do with it. You don't drink, you don't become an alcoholic. It's a choice.
I hate the way this disease keeps driving me to the bar and paying for drinks and putting them in my mouth. It's worse than cancer.
Some ign'ance in this thread, tell you what.
addictive personality is a myth!
Are people addicted to heroin said to have a disease? If so, I've never heard it.
What good does removing personal responsibility from the equation do? Some people are more genetically likely to become addicts - that doesn't mean choice doesn't factor into it.
Wait, so what's the counterargument? Are we saying it doesn't take years to develop an dependence on alcohol? Like one bad night in college and boom, you're fucked?
It does. Funny thing is, you don't realize it until a couple years deep. Most "alcoholics" you may know are actually just drunks. I firmly believe there is a difference.
I've seen more than a couple lives end, or go to total shit because of addiction.
And every single one started with a choice.
I feel sympathy for addicts, having been one myself. I just don't feel the same amount as sympathy for them as I do from people with completely involuntary diseases.
I'm not trying to imply that you should.
Those without personal experience with addiction tend to not understand it, and say stupid shit. I'm not putting you in that category.
Yeah. Or they die.
You know, we forget how much like animals we are. African tortoises can't eat meat, strictly vegetarians. The protein goes through their liver like Everclear, except it doesn't get them drunk so there's nothing to stop them. Protein and fat builds up, blood pressure, their organs just eventually shut down.
Well, I didn't think this would ever be a problem. Just don't feed them meat or beans, right? Well, I let the little bastard wander around the house (which I though was clean and safe) a few minutes later, I see him eating a slice of gyro meat from an after-bar feast several days ago that must of found it's way under the couch or bookshelf (fuck you I was drunk)? I quickly grabbed him, but he didn't want to let go of the meat.
It's funny how we love shit that will kill us.
Fuck you now I want a Gyro
I want turtle soup
What are you, a gyroholic?
YOU INSENSITIVE FUCKS! TURTLES ARE PEOPLE TOO!
DEY'RE BABIES!
HRRRRNNNGGGGGHHHH!
Whaddaya expect? They come out quoting McBeth??
I got some chicken livers today and I'm very excited to cook them and eat them.
You sure you don't want to use them to go catfish'n?
Chicken livers are awesome.
I don't even know what those are/ever had some. I'm not being facetious.
Fun fact: I figured out what grits and chitlins looked for the first time a few months back. Was horrified.
It's a liver. From a chicken.
Gross.
Brisco ain't so bold after all.
Grits are so fucking normal, what's the problem?
Magic grits
I'm Puerto Rican and I've seen grits. We don't eat that stuff for shit.
I'm back in the States for the first time in two years. It feels so damn good to be home, even if only for a little bit.
Also, grits are okay with a touch of maple syrup. The real thing, not that sugar water shit.
I found my autographed Dude Love shirt.
This too.
That chicken is grilled not fried. So I don't see your point.
And do black people even like Outkast?
Yes.
That's fish, ya fuckin' racist.
That's fish from a soul food resteraunt in ATL I has been to! It's real, bitches!
Definitely fish you're right.
Also Outkast sucks so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Well then, I guess black people like grits.
why would they not like grits?
This. Alcoholism runs in my dad's side of the family general addiction (alcohol, drugs and gambling) runs in my mom's side. She made a choice to distance herself from my real dad to protect me and I make conscious decisions to not do drugs, partake in crazy drinking and to focus my energies to smarter areas. I've had addiction change my life even if I wasn't the one who was addicted, and I've been addicted to smoking and wow, so I understand it as well as anyone how hard it can be to quit something and how it can effect the people around you. That being said I cannot, will not, have the same type or amount of sympathy for addicts as I do people who end up with diseases because of random chance.
However, just like choosing to start drinking is a choice, choosing to stop is also a choice. I respect the hell out of anyone who can walk away from alcohol or drugs.
My mom is an addict, though she gave up drugs well over a decade ago, and has hopefully quit gambling for good. My dad is an alcoholic, so I sometimes wonder if I'm a ticking time bomb. I think if I were I'd already be showing some signs, which hasn't happened yet. During the addiction section of my moms psychology classes she said she was amazed at how the books really don't seem to be able to describe exactly how it feels to be an addict. I think that is how I know I'm not one, because I can't really understand it.
I'm addicted to love.
Cock love maybe.
You might as well face it.
THE GREATEST SIGHT MY EYES HAVE EVER SEEN!
The lights are on, but you are actually home.
Dude, I'm so stoked on it. I can see, the heat works, The food in the fridge isn't gonna go bad, and I can turn the fan on when I shit up the bathroom so I don't pass out.
Every summer in Florida we'd lose power for a few weeks from hurricanes.
Baltimore power goes out for long stretches at a time too (no hurricanes, just because the city is rotting out from under us). I'm lucky it was just a day-ish.
Also: Florida sucks.
Today is the best day for TV.
I have never heard of grits with maple syrup. In the south they're almost exclusively served in a savory form, usually loaded with some sort of dairy fat (cheese or cream), and as posted earlier, sometimes with fish or shrimp.
I've made them all fancy with loads of cream and parmigiano-reggiano and they were the tits (as everything with loads of cream and parm should be).
I've seen it served with Maple Syrup. See: Asheville, NC.
First foray into the stock market, and the stock i picked went up 26% in 2 days :tu:
This is embarrassing to say, but I just heard Led Zepplin's "Dancing Days" for the first time 20 minutes ago (I've only heard the STP cover). Quality.
they are a great band, and it's a great song.
Zeppelin rules. Go listen to everything they ever did now. Except Stairway to Heaven. That one's no good.
Zepplin is pretty good as far as cover bands go.
And here we go!
Hey, I love the Stones.
They are real musicians.
Never said they werent!
I'm just complimenting you on liking the Stones.
Oh, we'll they had their fair share of covers too.
Their entire first album was based on covers. But they were able to stand up on their own as is evident. They didn't steal their music to become famous.
Every band steals. Get over it
Rolling Stones didn't.
You mean, the song that the Beatles themselves didn't want to sing and handed over to them? You know, the one that is HISTORICALLY KNOWN for having been given to them by their friends who also taught Mick and Keith how to write music? Okay. Got it.
Listening to Razor talk about music is depressing.
Its like someone pretending to be an expert on chocolate cake because they like to buy the premade ones from the grocery store. They've eaten so many chocolate cakes from the Sunflower or Piggyly Wiggly. How could they not know everything about them?
Someone close this thread.
Heh... The Piggly Wiggly near where my parents live used to give out those "I'm Sticking With the Pig" bumper stickers, with the slogan next to the mascot's smiling face. Problem is, they were printed on a black background, and the local kids would sharpie out "with." Which is damn funny, but not the sort of publicity a family grocer wants.
Also, my Piggly Wiggly t-shirt is quite the conversation piece.
Just got another Animation gig in San Diego. Carlsbad to be exact. Pretty excited to return there from Wisconsin.
Piggly Wiggly is over priced in my town. I mainly shop at Kroger these days. I love that stupid savings card. Sure, they are stock piling food data on me, but I can live with someone knowing I like pizza and bannans. And if you spend 100$ you get 10 cents off of each gallon of gas at the end of the month.
I'm spending today tweeting First Blood quotes.
