I'm mildly astonished that "I care about you in a way that will never matter" was not the thread title.

Hm, I guess it's because I ain't possessed of father issues that I don't bond with this strip more. My dad is and always has been pretty much the most supportive person in my life, always proud of me, always encouraging me, never judging me, etc.

Now, I love my mom and everything... she's visiting us for the holiday right now in fact... but I've never been successful enough for her, I've never felt good enough for her, she's not happy with a broke neurotic artist you know.

She's always been supportive but always... grudgingly. Condescendingly.

Like "okay, I will let you fail like this so that you will realize how you are supposed to live eventually."

Not to mention that all the girls I really crushed hard on in school moved away and stuff.

My abandonment issues are strictly female, I s'pose.

Oh Yeah.

I used to like them but I have sufficiently switched to straight whiskey.  I can even take down Kentucky Deluxe with no mixer/chaser these days.
As a man who prefers scotch with a little ice above all other liquors: I always love how when people finally get into drinking straight scotch or whiskey (or even scotch whiskey!) it is described almost as a trial, a contest that was bested and won but left it's scars. People talk of their ability to pound straight scotch the way one might brag of walking on hot coals.
We love whiskey but it doesn't love us.

I totally get what you are saying, but Whiskey can be very enjoyable now-a-days.  It did leave its scars, but Kentucky Deluxe always leaves scars.  See, it is vile, vile liquor. 

Also, I am not so good with some of the really nice/ high alcohol content bourbons, like Bakers, or Booker's, or any high class Jim Beam brand over Knob Creek.  I think this is just because it cost so fuck*ng much and, well, knob creek is cheaper and better, in my opinion.  I've learned to love Jim Beam and Knob Creek, but I cannot handle those other ones at all, which usually results in putting water in it and making it basically expensive Knob Creek (though I do get slightly more).  However, since I quit my job I have just been working on my Kentucky Deluxe drinking, and I am better for it.  There will be a time for nice bourbon at a later time.  Right now a handle of Rich and Rare is on sale for 13.99.

Oh yeah good whiskey is good whiskey but I just notice that anyone who drinks whiskey regularly seems to acknowledge that getting there can be struggle.
I don't like bourbon but then I've only had wild turkey which is way too sweet.
But this is another thread.

I have to say I wish Onstad paid more attention to the character's hands and arms... old gripe, I know, but Ray's arm in panel 6 looks *abhorrent*... and it's not like it would kill him to spend 6 minutes more pushing a vectorized line to where it should be. As for the strip itself, I liked it... the threat/promise of more Ramses Luther has me in thrall. In thrall, dammit!

Oh hey, I was just forcing myself to stop before I completely de-railed the thread to booze talk.

the best mixed drink with whiskey in it:

Black Tooth Grin -

double (cheap) bourbon (this is a highball) over not very many rocks with a half a splash of coca cola on the top, enough to taste but not enough to make things fizzy.  don't stir.  don't garnish.

So it's like a B&C with the ratio reversed?

I've always been a boring old scotch and dry man when it comes to mixed drinks. I find coke is too sweet with  the whiskey. But then I find bourbon whiskey to be a bit sweet to so maybe this isn't aimed at my demographic.

With apologies to those of you with more sophisticated palates, I have yet to taste bourbon that doesn't remind me of chugging anbesol or listerine.

However, I do love me some Vodka, and both Vodka Tonics and Vodka Gimlets although I have noticed that 'hard liquors have the curious effect of giving me this weird headache behind my eyeballs.

Just another part of my body expressing it's disgust at the number of years I've forced it to work I guess.

I don't think I've ever had a whiskey sour. Then again, there are many mixed drinks that I have yet to try. I heart Scotch, yet I've never had a Rusty Nail or a Rob Roy. I usually just get all boring and have it on the rocks or with a tiny splash of soda added. More cocktail frontiers should be explored.
