Giles ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It was breaking news as of 10am! Where ya been, amych?
Clearly, I was squandering my energies on root beer float variations and much less well-targeted irritation at the campus newspaper's ongoing idiocy about the story. (Today's highlights: I'll Be Pissed If The Lacrosse Thing Means They Shut Down Football Tailgating; and Durham Sucks A Whole Lot So Why SHOULD We Have Good Town-Gown Relations?)
30 men didn't care, and celebrated.
I give up.
Barq's is the best big-selling root beer, but there are some really excellent varieties put out by smaller producers.
I discovered it as a small local New Orleans brand in the early '80s. Slogans of the era -- "Of course it's great. But is it root beer?" and "Drink Barq's. It's good!"
It's just fucking foul, Allyson.
Screw the university. I want him kicked out of the human race.
Man, I don't have the words to articulate my fury.
In less rage-ful news, the root bear site allowed me to track down the name of the root beer I loved to pieces when it was still around: Mystic Seaport.
On the plus side, there are guys like this out there.
Root beer is the crap that tastes like mouthwash, right?
I do love cream soda though. And cream soda floats. For when your cream soda just isn't creamy enough. Mmm.
Yeah, I've been basking in this fury for 2 weeks now. The sad thing is, it gets old.
amych, I know of a student who is planning a response to the "Petting Zoo" column; she's asked people to email things they love about Durham. So if you want her email, ping me. (Calli too for that matter.)
Man, I don't have the words to articulate my fury.
A (male) friend once asked me if I felt like a second class citizen. I said I do. I absolutely do.
He was amazed. This is reason #589742 why. It makes it very hard to think that good men, who don't view women as a collection of holes to fuck or flesh to punch, aren't a minority. I hate feeling that way about half the human race. But then, there's gangrapes and stonings and abortions outlawed in the US! And a debate that still goes about whether it is women who should stay home with the baby and somehow fathers never figure into it.
This morning I read that child sex tours are becoming popular in Georgia, and detailed a 16 year old girl who is sold to up to 17 men a night.
And everyday, I hate a little more.
Root beer is the crap that tastes like mouthwash, right?
No, no, no! It's goood, with a sweet but root-y taste that is smoother than smooth. You've just never been exposed to the good stuff. Interesting thing I learned over at the TWOP Doctor Who forum is that the Brits apparently don't have real lemonade readily available over there. Again, they don't know what they're missing!
