"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Some of these people, though...jesus. "Oh, I can have six or seven drinks over a few hours, and I'm fine to drive." Imagine their surprise when the cop told them they were double the legal limit.

Depending on the drinks and on their tolerance, I don't think that's necessarily ridiculous. Though if the drinks aren't low-alcohol cocktails, they should probably be prepared that their blood alcohol reading will be over the legal limit no matter what the actual effects on them are.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Concurrently, on occasion, but I imagine it would be tricky to do it simultaneously. I mean, unless you smoke through a trach tube, in which case, ew.

You need some sort of automatic cigarette smoking machine that just fills the inside of your car with smoke. So breathing = smoking....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, smokers will have to use the hands-free on the cell phone. Then we're good to go!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, these people were not drinking low-alcohol drinks.

Yeah, I could have six or seven froofy little cocktails over an hour or two and be fine, but definitely not six or seven beers (unless they come in 9oz Dixie cups), and certainly not six or seven mixed drinks of my usual strength.

And speaking of booze, I am leaving work ten minutes early to be home in time for the Peapod delivery window, which means I can fix myself a vodka gimlet when my groceries arrive and see what all the fuss is about.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

But are you using Rose's, or real limes plus simple syrup, and what kind of vodka?

Good god woman--How can you judge the gimlet, if we don't know what's in it?

Looks like there was a kaboom at a chemical plant here in KC.

Now I'm inclined to be secretive so you people can't judge me or my gimlets.

I'd love a gimlet right now.

hell, I'd kill for champagne. There's at least two bottles in the fridge. Things I miss: iced tea and champagne. not together.
