How is a bucket of sugar support? A little bit of water (or ice after a few minutes) can take off the initial edge and allow more of the actual flavor to show, rather than covering it up.Quote:

I get shit from my parents all the time because I moved out when I wasn't married and because I no longer pay their bills. My parents and tradition can both lick my asshole.
Tell us more.Quote:

I usually drink it on the rocks and it's gone before the ice melts, mind you.
How about you guys just stand up and we'll see who's taller. hm?
Yes. And that's exactly what I'm saying. It is not contradiction -- it's the same idea said two ways. If you want to dilute the flavour of whiskey then just use coke or something that makes an entirely different drink and be done with it. If you want to have some whiskey then drink some whiskey straight and don't be a pussy about it. Whiskey's not a timid drink, so don't treat it like it is.Quote:

But the whole extended family concept isn't just Puerto Rican. Latins love to have aunts, uncles, cousins, and every living grandparent close by. I think that's actually a good thing, honestly. Americans are always whining about declining family values and the disintegration of the modern family unit, and that may have something to do with the practice of kicking everyone out of the house once they're 18.
Eh its this "nuclear family" bullshit. It fosters a strange kind of existence where we're not really family with aunts, uncles and cousins. Even the law reflects this kind of world view (estate and family law). Growing up in a close extended family i just found it perverse.
