or did you know this and just feel like expressing your h8 red for heineken
?
ja
thank you lingy, that is v. sweet of you.
can’t even find anyone who will go to hour of happy right now :(
rly making me rethink my decision not to keep that bottle of bourbon on my bookshelf anymore.
go solo. meet other folks with bourbon regret.
going solo is usually a good way to get buybacks at a higher rate! also good way to end up drunk dialing
drunk dialing = bad.
but.
is going solo a good way to meet boys?
i find that happy hour is full of old men. :(
buybackks...how sad that i’m with jaymc on this one.
beck’s isn’t considered shit here, it’s just...cheap. like oddly so. i don’t get it but i keep buying it.
I actually didn’t know what a buyback was until now. Are you supposed to tip for them?
yes
are you british?!?!?!?!
I knew I shouldn’t have said anything
i’m drinking cheap beer in an internet cafe yea!
do you have to tip at the interneten?
When touring in the wine-growing regions, camping in one or all of the vineyards that sit on the banks of the Rhine is strongly recommended. When you get there, ensure that you wrinkle your nose at the sweet wines that are sold to tourists, express a bit of interest in dry wines, and bingo—you will be dragged into the wine racks by the delighted owners and forced to taste huge quantities of their best produce. Expect to be joined by half the staff and their families.
Never, ever, walk on the grass. Ever.
Never cross a pedestrian crossing when the man is red, even if nothing is coming. On the other hand, crossing where there is no official crossing-place is perfectly acceptable.
Old ladies expect you to give way, especially if you are young and at the head of a long queue. Sharp elbows are the best defence.
If you are in Munich, get up early one day, go to the market in the centre of town, and obtain a Weisswurst. You must go in the morning, because by midday they are past their best. They are white sausages made from the white fatty gunk that runs out of the pig when they cut its throat, and taste very nice. Try one, you will be surprised. Honest.
Never, ever spend an entire evening drinking Altbier. It is very nice but gives you a pounding hangover.
If you get caught up in a bar where drinking songs are being sung, do not hide behind your beer hoping that nobody will notice you. It is far more acceptable to join in. Of course nobody expects you to know the words, you’re a foreigner, so just wave your beer around and make appropriate singing noises during the chorus.
In what used to be the West, it is much, much better to be thought a foreign tourist than a foreign worker. Unemployment is a big problem and feelings against ‘foreigners taking our jobs’ run high.
In Hamburg, get onto one of the harbour tour boats (Hafenrundfahrt). They are well worth it, as these are some of the biggest shipbuilding yards in the world, and your little grockle boat is dwarfed by the shipping that is in dock. Awe inspiring.
Planten und Blomen in Hamburg is a horticultural park, a bit like Kew Gardens, London. At dusk in the summer months, go to the fountains (near the Telemichel—see below). They have coloured lights beneath them, and in the evenings for an hour or so they dance to music played over loudspeakers across the lake.
The Telemichel is Hamburg slang for their telecommunications tower. There is a rotating restaurant (with an excellent menu) at the top, from which it is possible to look down on Planten und Blomen, the Olympic Village, and also plummeting bungee-jumpers. On a summer’s day it is often also possible to look down on swarms of hot-air balloons.
If you switch on the radio, don’t be surprised if the music sounds the same on every channel. This is absolutely normal.
One in three Germans is a smoker. Cigarette promotions are held in bars, and asking for a non-smoking seat in a restaurant will be met with blank looks...
...Except in Berlin, where service doesn’t extend to blank looks. Expect a disdainful stare from the bar area where the staff are enjoying a drink.
To tip waiters customers usually round up the bill to whole units. For example a beer costing DM4.50 costs DM5 with tip.
Public transport is excellent all over Germany although it’s cheaper to rent a car and drive for long distances than it is to take the train.
Credit and debit cards are not as widely accepted in Germany as in the rest of the West. Cash is always welcome, even small change in fact, as keeping the Pfennig in circulation is the subject of a campaign in Germany. Since this entry was written, the Euro has been introduced, no doubt causing the pro-Pfennig campaigners some concern.
Also the subject of a campaign was the Ampelmännchen—the little green figure telling you it’s safe to cross the road. In the old days of the east/west divide the DDR benefited from the services of a very jaunty little figure, complete with hat and, in one case, an umbrella. Due to EU standardisations the figure was to be replaced with the generic international version and people all over the East were up in arms.
Germans are generally very friendly and hospitable people, all the more so in the East. It’s perfectly normal if you’re in a crowded restaurant to squeeze onto a table with a few complete strangers.
Indian restaurants in Germany are terrible, because German food is very bland and there’s not much of a demand for late-night chicken vindaloo. The mainstay of the German fast food industry is the doner kebab.
When buying fruit and vegetables in a German supermarket weigh your own produce, push the button corresponding to what you’re buying and affix the resulting sticky label on the plastic bag. It’s not cool to have separate bags for everything, so put your potatoes in with your carrots and beans with all the labels on the outside. Bring your own bag to carry your shopping in and don’t forget to recycle.
Recycling is very popular in Germany. Biodegradable rubbish gets taken away and composted, glass is melted down (bottles generally have a deposit) and re-used, and most packaging bears the ‘green point’ which indicates that it can also be recycled.
Nudism is acceptable in many public parks. Picture the first sunny day in May, with half a dozen naked men trying to convince themselves that it’s warm enough to be sunbathing and a little old lady in a coat and furry hat out walking her dog and not paying them the slightest bit of attention.
Drinking in public (or at work) is also tolerated and the police, although they don’t stand any abuse, are generally lenient.
You can visit the Reeperbahn, Hamburg, the most famous and biggest red light district in Germany. You can have a look in hundreds of sex-shops for every need you have, and can also have a nice time in the pubs, drinking whatever you want until you drop on the floor. But be careful, as ‘a little bit’ of champagne will cost you.
Every ‘Hamburger’ thinks Hamburg is the most beautiful town in Germany, maybe in the whole world.
Hamburg has got a lot of water. It has a harbour, and it has some lakes in the middle of the city. You can sit at the sea or harbour, and have a drink. There are no pubs, just a few restaurants, where you pay $10 for a small beer. So be careful.

Never, ever, walk on the grass. Ever.
but what is their law on smoking it :o?
perhaps it’s okay to smoke on the grass if you are one of:
half a dozen naked men trying to convince themselves that it’s warm enough to be sunbathing....
i’m drunk and you’re at work

YAY!
i got a little drunk on a nice gwertztraminer at a bbq today but it didn’t make it anymore fun
i really don’t like gewurtztraminer usually :(
i didn’t get drunk because i have to get up early tomorrow.
but tomorrow. gonna get drunk.
y’all can come out/over if you want!
it’s almost 2am and no drinks for me 2nite
Small amounts of food 6 hours ago + 1 (one) sazerac = heyy
(people were v. v. surprised i didn’t appear to be hungover on 7/5 btw—2 x glasses red wine + 1 x bottle white wine + copious water before collapse)
2 glases and a bottle?? wow, superstar
yah I know, paltry but I was so v. loud and foul-mouthed (staying-w-family-stress) people thought I’d had much more. Was basically a great excuse for yelling fuck you at conservative family members—then I could apologize for being drunk but not for telling them off.
man i wish that worked in my family but they tease me relentlessly for being ‘soooo drunk’ the second i raise my voice even the slightest bit! even when i’m NOT wasted!
i think that is a lot of wine!!
i do too!
It was, like, 4 hours of drinking I think. Mr. Jaq got pretty mad at me though, but I did snap at him when he tried to snag the last glass out of my hands.
being drunk (or at least somewhat buzzed) in a foreign country is theb est, really
might be. not sure.
i had one glass of secret wine and i think i might fall on floor what happened to me?!
lol this is why i can’t drink at all anymore. imo you gotta go all the way or not bother at all!
i don’t have much tolerance anymore lol
aw yall you fallig off.
me, i’m on my third big fiji bitter and have never felt better
you gotta go all the way or not bother at all!
please tell me about the fiji bitter.
i had 4 cups of tea. CRAZY TIMES.
fiji bitter is kinda bitter
nothing special as far as beer goes
oh i thought it was some kinda cool cocktail
disappointed.
oh cmon what the hell i’m in fiji give a little love
<3

there are 4 cases of wine and a million bottles of beerz in my house and I’m feeling fine due to this really yummy red. But I have to catch a miserable 6:55 am bus on Mondays and so NOT GETTING DRUNK tonight. NONONO!
awwwwwww
i can’t wait til i feel good enough to feel bad (get drunk)
i hope to post here on thursday, when my friend “hollow leg julie” comes for a visit (my other friend named her that after she, a petite, asian girl, drank him, a mid 30s western new yorker, under the table!!!).
gah i had liquor for the first time in a month last night. that awful fijian rum. i fell down in the dirt on my ass and scraped my hand. later i threw up in a bush. god
aw
all that kava has ruined him for honest liquor. v.v. sad. this is the first anytihing I’ve had to drink since the flu in early oct—not even at the soup party, no drinks for me :( OH! except for some lovely lovely rum at lxy’s house! so, i lied there. now i am drinking water.
and today I have a massive red wine headache and was supposed to sit in a deadly dull meeting for the whole day. Got reprieved though, hooray. Feels like there isn’t enough aspirin and diet coke on the planet to deal with this right now.
oh man i forgot to post here but i have really lost a lot of tolerance!
i had some really nice cocktails at bricco on top of qa. i want to go back there!
but ooooof i am tired today :(
hello.
Working on it.
to open the 2nd bottle or to not open the 2nd bottle, that is the ?
just had a couple of margaritas ; )
i bought some bulleit! not really a bourbonist but y’all keep raving and it was only $19.99 at trader joe’s
i wish i had some glogg
not drunk btw :(
I’ve finished pretty much all the tasks I need to this evening that require co-ordination + remaining upright. Drinking water, but. There’s a 2001 Penfold’s bin 28 Kalimna shiraz, right over there.
holy shit i feel terrible today. sigh.
i’m gonna feel terrible tomorrow
tza we will go get some restorative tom ka or pho on monday
gettin there
2nd bottle almost gone, reading a not-great scifi book w/ too many words in it, back to drinking water thinking too much about tomorrow
first rule of bein drunk is never thinking abt tkmorrow
that’s what did me in last night!
fuckin hate beeer
needs more alcohol, less carbonation
Bought boozes for next weekend’s party today. Doing a big vat of hot chocolate and providing add-ins of rum, kahlua, peppermint schnapps. Also, mulled wine.
I’ve never much cared for beer, except when I was in the UK and went on the “Guinness as meal replacement” plan.
yeah, i make an exception for guinness
i miss lingbert.

redux and i am on for some freeeeeeeeee dinner
i believe the exact quote is ‘when are you going to have us over you dick?’
which email i was bcc’d on, and then it turned into a conversation between jergins and me about other stuff, and at some point during it ilx went down and jergins sent me some alternative links to try, so now when i need to find an ilx link i search my email for ‘you dick’ and it works like a dream. thanks, lingert.
i am superstoked for this guy. he is a nonposter@ this pt and a guy who doesnt big up himself enough as it is and i am happy 2 do it so:
have u ever been offered a joblike , go to uruguay, it’s on us, look at some trees and dirt and shit and report back. ? and then when u get back the say , thats tight go to uruguay again, on us, and tell us more. ? no. i havent been ofered this job

<3<3<3 tell me when the link to id station is
like every 15 min? or catch a 5 :) ima going to sleep soon though—exhausted.
i would like to open the discussion to how rakishly u wear your hat>? anyone. like straight brim straight up or off at an angle or inbetween. how conciously do u think about it
what a woods question
I just watched a pile of late 40s/early 50s noir movies—brim angled to the side and forward = most rakish; brim straight and hat tilted back on yr head = earnest newspaper guy; brim straight and low over yr eyes = mean gangster; brim angled to the side and hat tilted back = drunk; if tie is also askew, ur super-dronk and about to be hit by a train/mugged
my goodness i love you people.
@ jergins: jaunty!
@jaq: yay yes, & i can return your dish!
@jaq: brilliant!
@estela: love you too!
he thought it a disaster for some reason but srsly, a one room apt and we gotta bring our own chairs? my expectations aren’t high
