(also don't drink tequila, but that's because it's just nasty.)

Welcome to being uncultured about alcohol. It is definitely 100% crass to expect liquor to be palatable whose primary target market feels vomiting is in the drinking "pro-column". Pay the cash and get tequila that tastes like not-ass. Good tequila is sad about being in the same store as bad tequila.

So as far as moving forks, is the proper way to do it (as a right handed individual) to cut with your knife in your right hand and then eat the piece with your fork in your left, or cut with your non-dominant hand and eat in a more comfortable, natural fashion? I see the obvious energy waste switching, however, it is done for the sake of not feeling awkward, which is why there is a non-consensus as to whether it is tacky (unstylish) or not. Physical awkwardness is generally unstylish, I would assume?

I know. My dad takes the point of view opposite Ray's. What I'm saying is that they both care about it, and I don't understand why.

In HomeEc I learned that switching hands is the "American style" and eating with the same hand is "European." Apparently your dad hates Europe.

ah, see, I was under the impression that there was no such thing as "better" tequila. And that it was more of an issue of me needing to "stop being a goddamn pussy, this shit is good!"

Eating with your off hand builds character. And provides me with entertainment.

Sorry for being so harsh about it...if you'd like me to recommend some brands I'd be more than happy; what were you drinking that was so nasty?

I've got five dollars that says it was Cuervo.

Which means he spent almost-good-tequila money for rot-gut, kind of like my first experience with Jack Daniels. I've since learned the ways of the world.

Don't unlearn what you arleady know.

Yeah, well the Europeans eat with the fork upside down so they obviously don't have a clue what they are doing.

[theinevitable]

yeah. probably.

the story, though, was fun.

This kid informed my roommate and I that he would share his tequila with us, it being Cinco De Mayo and all. I found this lame, but said sure. He brought it over, explained the whole lime/salt/whatever thing. I declared that I wouldn't be sucking any limes. He took a shot, and declared it wonderful.
My roommate then attempted the shot, his first shot ever, and basically choked/coughed for a good 30 seconds. His face was red as we laughed, and he said "fine, motherfucker, you fuck*ng drink it then!"
I licked the salt and downed the shot with a straight face. I then said something to the effect of "I am never drinking that shit again."

To be honest, so far the only alcohols I have been able to differentiate are as follows:
Franzia vs. Real Wine: Tastes/looks less like a juice box. So, mixed outcome.
Shitty Vodka vs. Real Vodka: Wow, see, this doesn't taste like gasoline.
crappy beers of various types vs. uber-expensive imported beer: Wow, I actually found a beer I like! *second sip* wait... no. No, that was a lie. beer is not my thing. Maybe next year.

And yes, paul, part of it is that my mouth is a pussy. I mean... I am a pussy. I mean... no part of me is a pu$$y.

I am in no part a pu$$y.

But it is true that my palate is over-sensitive. To everything, not just alcohols of various types.

[Ben-San]

To me, the difference between good liquor and bad liquor is "Jesus balls, someone drinks this?!"

If I have that reaction, it's bad liquor.To good liquor, I have the reaction "Bleh, not my thing".

I think you misunderstand me.  The main difference between the "bad tequila" and the "good tequila" is the price of it.  The Emperor has no clothes.

[theinevitable]

...why did only one of those change to $$'s?

I dislike that I said that word so much.

You're extremely wrong, but that's alright. By all means further the ill-advised slander of a distinguished product by the nature of its hackneyed, illegitimate step-kin.
