Damn. It would be really fucking difficult for me to figure out what fic author I would want to read before I die. It would be either Speranza or Ple.
Damn, guh, glurble.

Question re. boilermakers (I actually need to know this for a fic). Does a boilermaker always involve dumping the shot into the beer, or can one alternate? I'd also imagine that a boilermaker hangover is pretty nasty stuff.
Some people consider it still a boilermaker if you're shooting and chasing, but they're wrong like wrong things because, damn it, that's just shooting and chasing.
The classic boilermaker in school involved actually dropping the shot into the beer, glass and all.
That's the only boilermaker I know.
And I loathe gin, but I always liked watching my college roomate's BF making a martini -- he'd pour the gin in the glass, pick up the bottle of vermouth, wave the bottle (closed, of course) over the martini glass like a magician, and then drink the martini.

I think it's another meme. Or, at least, reminds me of one.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Tetchy.
Hee! Wonderful.

Rubeus Hagrid- Hagrid Rubeus was the Greek God of jewels. Rubeus meaning rubul or jewel, Hagrid meaning giant. Hagrid was banned from Mt. Olympus, but Zeus took pity on him and let Hagrid stay as the keeper of the godly creatures.
Am I on crack, or is this utter drivel? I'm researching Harry Potter (go me) for Uni, believe it or not, and compiling information about the various character names, and I keep coming across the above assertion. My Latin is minimal and my Greek nonexistent, but Hagrid Rubeus doesn't sound like a Greek name to me, and I've certainly never heard of that particular member of the Hellenic pantheon myself. 'Course, I'm not omniscient - that's what you guys are for...still, I thought 'rubeus' was Latin for red, and 'Hagrid' was simply a form of 'Hagridden', which means ridden-by-a-hag, from the medieaval belief that witches could use sleeping people as their steeds, leaving them looking utterly haggard the morning after. No?
It wouldn't be the first time I've eaten my words, but surely this is pants?
Also:
Ron Weasley, in another language, is called "Running Weasel." Running Weasel was a warlord in the 6th Dynasty. He was a brilliant statigist, and he never lost a game of chess. Unfortunately, he died when a rat that had been dyed yellow by his soldiers for fun earlier that day, knocked over a lamp in his palace, burning it to the ground, and killing Running Weasel.
Can't believe how many places have this same quote - always "in another language", never specifying which language. This paragraph makes. no. sense.
