"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

My gainfully-employed-not-obviously-gay-white-dude sob story of reverse discrimination: someone once kidded me in a movie theater about ordering cola instead of a clear drink when I went to see the remake of Shaft. That's the worst thing I've ever had to deal with because of my skin color, gender, or apparent orientation.

Somehow, I have managed to soldier on bravely despite being victimized in such an outrageous fashion.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Also, ita !, a friend of mine has been doing booze ice creams every weekend or so. Here's a few recent ones:

This week's cocktail-based ice cream: Brass Monkey. Orange juice, star anise, vodka, and rum. #RIP MCA.

Aww.

This week's homemade ice cream flavor: Roaring Dan's Rum & Ginger.

That sounds up your alley

For tonight's dessert, Red Wine & Cola Sorbet. Michael Jackson called it Jesus Juice. It's a thriller!

Hmmm.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

do I make one of the listed recipes first, or do I dive straight into trying to work out a good egg nog ice cream recipe?

I would make one of the listed recipes just to get a feel for how the alcohol+other ingredients freeze. They all sound good.

I've always thought it was "put through the wringer". I'm not sure about the w in nerve-racking, though. I'd keep it, but not with authority.

It needs a w.

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

I've always thought it was "put through the wringer".

Me too. "Wringer" as in clothes wringer.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

K-Bug reached her current height when she was in 5th grade.

I did too!

When I was 18, a little old lady asked me if my 16 year old friend was my daughter! I assume she had bad eyesight.

The monk smiled beneficently on her and suggested to me that as her grandfather I was obviously going to be way too lenient and not properly discipline her.

I was skimming, and somehow mixed this up with Lee's post, and thought the monk said this about you and juliana!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks guys. I was in Williamsburg last night, and seeing all the young, pretty people reminded me of what I missed out on.

Tom, a)fucking hipsters 2)I swear I thought you were 32--because you look that adorable and 3)coming to a point where you are happy with yourself is the best time of your life.

At 42, I'm not saying there isn't a twinge of a belief that youth is wasted on the young--but I am wiser, sassier and a lot smarter than those kids. Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill!!!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's half way to eggnog anyway.

Ick. No. I'm Jamaican. We don't do it like *that*.

I see rum and raisin in there, and I've been craving a proper recipe for that for ages, so maybe I'll start there, if the raisins don't need too long a soaking.
