Don't know who this Hitchens guy is, but I guess he's straight?
He liked to paw and slobber over his male friends when smashed, but now that he's cold we may get further info.

yeah i mean sure but you have to like picnics

srsly picnics is the least challopy of the 4

all of these things are prob p appropriately rated, but what biting wit that guy!

did he say it in some sort of disdainful upper class british accent *swoon*

i fuckin love picnics a'it
― ledge, Friday, 16 December 2011 15:31 (twelve years ago) link
picnics are prob not worth the effort but the rest of these are just fine.
― slandblox goole, Friday, 16 December 2011 15:34 (twelve years ago) link
I'm willing to go on a picnic with chickenhawk if he brings the lobster but keeps the buggery at home in his closet.
― Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 16 December 2011 15:35 (twelve years ago) link
usually it's BUGS you have to worry about at a picnic

we should have a lobster picnic w/ buttsex & bubbly in CH's honor

def. think if you combined all 4 they all would be better
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 16 December 2011 22:54 (twelve years ago) link
Champagne probably tasted like Sprite to Hitchens so I'll cut him some slack. The other 3 are legit overrated. Lobster wouldn't be overrated if it wasn't expensive.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 16 December 2011 22:55 (twelve years ago) link
buttsex is a multifaceted construct
― fartz, Friday, 16 December 2011 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe I just don't have the best back, but I always find it hard to simultaneously sit on the grass in a position amenable to eating AND feel comfortable enough to get romantic or chilled out or whatever mood picnic it is.
Are we voting on "most overrated" or best of these? I'd probably say champagne is the most overrated -- even *good* champagne tastes kind of like a soft drink to me.
― Hurting, Friday, 16 December 2011 23:14 (twelve years ago) link
It tends to be sweet and cloying.

picnics are horseshit and the good thing abt champagne is that it's alcoholic fresca
― fartz, Friday, 16 December 2011 23:18 (twelve years ago) link
picnics are great, gtfo my rug you sourpusses

lobster is the worst of these no contest, its disgusting
― є(٥_ ٥)э, Friday, 16 December 2011 23:23 (twelve years ago) link
Lobster is tasty, champagne'll get you drunk, picnics involve food - there's really no upside to anal IMO
― milo z, Friday, 16 December 2011 23:46 (twelve years ago) link
(Good) Champagne is great, picnics are underrated, anal sex can be great, lobster is meh, a lot of work and not all it's made out to be, so lobster
― lebateauivre, Friday, 16 December 2011 23:47 (twelve years ago) link
feel like "a lot of work and not all it's made out to be" can also be applied to anal

risotto is cool but its just flavored rice and doesnt compare to anything on the list
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Saturday, 17 December 2011 00:41 (twelve years ago) link
Hitchens obv had a restrictive definition of what constitutes a picnic. For me it is eating any meal outdoors without a waiter/waitress. 1) Outdoors is a nice place. 2) Eating is pleasant. 3) No tipping required.
Sounds like a little piece of paradise to me.
― Aimless, Saturday, 17 December 2011 00:46 (twelve years ago) link
i know right, bring some lobster and champagne even
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Saturday, 17 December 2011 00:47 (twelve years ago) link
champagne is awesome also jho otm about chris hitchens. hero to most a few but he never meant shit to me.

yeah i appreciate ppl who can write coherently and drink fabulously but i can generally get that on ilx without the warmongering, etc.
i guess the outpouring of whatever seems slightly less weird to me than that for steve jobs, tho.
― mookieproof, Saturday, 17 December 2011 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
people's remembrances of him have been moving. it is jerky of me to say idgi at this particular moment, i know. i don't get the great stylist thing either, tbh; the stuff i've read by him seemed overwritten.

not anal sex tho.

Q: are we voting for our favorite or most overrated, clarify asap
A: Fave rave.
I interpret this as meaning 12 people think picnics are the best of the options presented. Which is how I voted.
― Aimless, Sunday, 18 December 2011 03:31 (twelve years ago) link
Anal sex is underrated if anything!
