but who would really wear that?

I've ordered it, and plan on wearing it.

I don't wear the "Fuck You, You're Irish" in William of Orange, which seemed like a good idea at the time, but...

I'm glad to hear such good things about the cookbook. I've been on the fence about purchasing it for forever.

Mind if I ask a question about other Achewood merchandise? How are the books? Are they a pretty good size? The resolution is cool?

The resolution is decent. There are a few places where a line is sort of pixelated and some character-code issues (em-dash showing up as &# or something). But that was mainly just in volume 1, IIRC.

I have got to figure out a way to save money. I've been up here 2 years and I've got nothin' to show for it.

Well, there's always working on a factory ship.  I hear you make bank and have nothing to spend it on.  We'd miss you here though.

GOOD TIME Somebody nice

Ew... just, ew. Nobody's whoring to giraffeermen, thank you very much.

Or I could sell Russian teenagers for diamonds? Or...worse, if you can imagine that. Rumor has it that someone here used to traffick small children to trampers. Don't know if it's true or not, but it makes me angrier than hell to imagine such a thing.

Oh, and I don't mean "tramper" as in someone in New Zealand who hitchhikes around. I mean a tramper as in a cargo vessel. http://www.wildnatureimages.com/3000%20to%2010000/C6CT5599..jpg

And working on a giraffeing vessel...no thanks. I don't like giraffe that much, and I reeeeally don't want to slaughter them. Working on a boat means a lot of tough work in driving wind and rain, gutting giraffe in a factory trawler. I'd make much less money than I do now. My problem is compounded by the fact that I spent $2,765 last year on frivolous purchases, like perfume.

A good time girl is much different than a whore.

Well, only in one kinda big way. Basically a good time girl is an escort without benefits. I'll admit you prolly gotta be careful with that game though, they're prolly a rough on the prick tease crowd.

Y'know what? Maybe your plan of buying good stuff but less of it is the winner.

I took pains in all posts to not call you out as a whore

Did I mention that I got my Dude and Catastrophe pint glasses exactly four days after I ordered them?

Yes, well, I did.  They're nice.

[wombat]

I just got my pint glass, still in one piece although I carried the box into the house and slammed it down on the table while looking at the sticker that said 'fragile' and thinking, "Hey, what's this, I didn't order anything from anywhere that's frag - OOPS."  But it was fine.

Also, the 'zine.  The nice thing about Roast Beef's 'zine is that the Beef of the 'zine is a much happier Beef than we usually see.  He's sassy, even.

Can we see some pics of those pint glasses in action?

[theinevitable]

I really really want to make a post saying
"THEY ARE IN ACTION, BITCH!" but I am not.

Doing that.

[linnea]

I am on call, and therefore cannot drink.

I want to see the pint glasses filled with delicious Guinness and hard cider (together they form a "Snakebite").

I'd heard of the Carbomb but that one's new to me.

I'd heard of the Carbomb but that one's new to me.

I find the various carbomb names really distasteful. I wouldn't be surprised if you can order a "Shitload of Carbombs" from the bartender and have an Irish Car Bomb, an Iraqi Car Bomb, &c. ad nauseum.

Anyway, yeah, a Snakebite is "grelicious". You pour it like a Black and Tan, not like a Carbomb with its associated shotglass.

(semi-tangentally)

Once, we took a bunch of really strong black tea and put it in the espresso maker and drew out a thick viscous liquid that we ended up calling "Alpachino" both as a pun on cappuchino, of course, as well as the fact that it made you wanna yell "Hoo-ha!"

I did a triple shot of that and then blacked out for a half a minute.

I never blacked out from alcohol, from marijuana, from prescription painkillers.

But I blacked out from Alpachino.

I think that happened to my mom, but it might have been a hot flash too.
