Warm summer evenings are the perfect setting for a bulbasaur.

I don't know why you would start with lime vodka instead of a decent clear vodka and scales of lime rind.

Somehow, I'm betting Frank will be willing to try these.

I'm not Frank, but I totally bookmarked that. I want to try the Rainbow Road one day. Seems a bit light by my standards, but I'm getting older and need to slow down anyway.

Zero Suit Samus is pretty accurate: not as exciting as you first hope.

I hope to try mixing up some of Stephen Fry's cocktails next time there's a party in Melbourne. Some are easier than others.

Can you name the video games from clips of music from their soundtracks?

My cousin was just doing that to me with ring tones from his phone.

I'll have to check this out.

What, because "fuck tea" sounded too dirty?

Maybe it skirts past some legal issues.

At the very least, people have been convicted for shirts with the bad fuck word on them.

Admittedly, it was back in the 60s, and in a courthouse. But you know.

I don't know if that shirt is supposed to be pro- or anti- teabagger.

Wait, what? I thought it was just for people who hate tea. You know, pseudo-anti-intellectuals worried about being perceived as sissies based on what they drink. The shirt says nothing about tea bagging. If it is the case that it's directed at Teabaggers, some ball busting slogan would probably be more effective (and appropriate) for getting the message across.

Well, uh, I'm pretty sure hate tea because I don't like the taste. I'm sure my palate has been spoiled by years of drinking southern-style sweet tea, but that's as far as my dislike of tea goes.

For what it's worth, I don't drink coffee, either.

I have a long list of staple beverages that I cannot stand.

I don't like the taste of tea, sweetened or unsweetened, hot or cold.

Coffee doesn't just taste gross to me, for pretty much all of my adolescence the mere smell of it or coffee grounds would give me headaches.

Alcohol tastes extremely bitter to me and its nasty flavor is detectable to me in very tiny doses.

Diet drinks with spelnda or most any other natural sweeteners (I have yet to taste one that didn't have this effect, splenda is just the worst) have a horrible aftertaste that makes me want to set fire to my tongue.

I like the smell of coffee. But I just don't drink the stuff.

I no longer get headaches from the smell, that only lasted about the first 20 years of my life.

I still have no desire to drink it based upon that past affliction, and also due to being scarred for life when I was like 6 years old and thought that the cup filled with brown liquid on the counter was coke... not coffee. Definitely did a spit-take there.

I had a similar incident with Tea at an older age wherein an apple juice container was reused to contain tea that my mom had made. The resemblance was uncanny until I did a spit-take there as well.

Splenda tastes mildly bitter to me. And I don't like how fully inert Splenda is (It isn't affected by typical wastewater treatment processes. It's too early to even predict long-term results of sucralose in the water, but I question if it's a good thing.)

My wife has gotten me onto something of a tea kick. Mostly thanks to the Steeping Room in Austin. (Which serves an awesome turkey BLT, for anyone in the area.) And more and more I find myself choosing iced tea instead of soft drinks at restaurant just because of the lack of sugar. Gives me something with flavor but not as rough on my teeth.

I got kicked of a SWA flight once for wearing such a shirt.

Post by **fbmf** » Sun Jul 25, 2010 2:28 am

I was wearing a shirt that said, "Tell your kids to sit down and shut the fuck up!"

I boarded the plane. I sat down. A flight attendant comes up to me and asks to speak to me. She leads me to the front of the plane where the guy who had taken my boarding pass and let me on the plane in the first place was waiting. He told me that my shirt was inappropriate to be worn on a plane "or in a public airport for that matter" and that it was against SWA policy for me to wear such a shirt on their plane.

He asked if I had another shirt. (I did not.)

He then told me that I couldn't get on the plane.

At this point the original flight attendant came up and asked if I would be willing to turn my shirt inside out. I said that would be fine. I was then allowed back on the plane.

I looked it up later and it turns out it clearly states on the terms of service that I can't wear clothing with a "lewd message". Okay, whatever. If that is their policy, then I accept that, but I objected to the guy trying to teach me a moral lesson about what is and what is not appropriate.

I called customer service and told them so. I got a written letter in reply.

fucking infringement of free speech. But if they're pulling the "right to refuse service" thing, then, the cards are pretty much all in there hands.

That sucks. but at least they let you turn the shirt inside out, I guess.
