@f00l@therealjrn No, I got it. Just trying to let it go. I know my story was explicit so it seemed like it fit right in, but in my mind there’s a big difference between sharing (with permission) a true story that’s fondly remembered which includes sex and making jokes about a third party’s sexual behavior. The second option has always irritated me.
hey @Thumperchick, any chance I can get you to change the banner? I didn’t notice it when I made the thread, but I hate it. Anything you think is appropriate is fine.
@narfcake@Seeds@Thumperchick Aside that being on the thread of my best-selling design ever, that cartoon made my year. I will love fable forever for it.
Hey @Seeds - I like cheap tequila!
What’re you drinking?
My faves atm are Espolon and Milagro, both under $30 for a 750 ml bottle.
($30 is my threshold for a bottle of booze - anything over that will be considered a “treat” and better be damn good!)
@Seeds Sauza Hornitos used to be a favorite, my palate has since expanded (so to speak, I guess).
Another (I suppose mid-range is more accurate than cheap) old favorite was Cazadores.
Funny story, speaking of cheap tequilas…
One day while shopping in the tequila aisle, on the bottom shelf directly below the Cazadores was a very similar bottle and label called Cabrito…
Now, Cazadores (hunters) has a majestic stag head on the bottle, whereas Cabrito (baby goat, kid) has a slightly less majestic goat head on the bottle.
The two look way too much alike for it to be a coincidence - someone obviously decided to make a cheap knock-off of Cazadores.
I’ve never tried Cabrito - IIRC, it’s somewhere between $20 - $25.
And yes - as I was typing the above anecdote (but not before I typed the phrase “goat head”), I realized that the goat-horned god of cheap tequila and blame for all things was speaking through me…
You are the Scapegoat; you enjoy cheap tequila; you now must have a bottle of Cabrito in hand for your next video.
If necessary, I would gladly contribute a few bucks towards a fund to put said bottle in your hands.
(as I was doing the image search for that, I noticed that Cazadores has redesigned their label - has to have been in response to Cabrito, I think )
@DennisG2014@Seeds Sad. Sauza started out decent. I remember Tres Generaciones being pretty smooth. But if tasting like gasoline is how “good” tequila is supposed to taste, and not-remembering-the-bus-that-ran-over-you-several-times hangovers, then I’m all for the “cheap” stuff.
Hm, 79 views and no one hated it enough to complain. I’m sure some are repeats, but definitely the most wide-reaching video I’ve put on youtube. I know it’s a low bar, but I’m pleased.
Chapter 1: How I met my (soon to be ex) wife. Sorry @bramby2, no suit today. Didn’t feel like dealing with it. At least I wore the fucking hood.
@Seeds
It’s not Sunday though!
@Seeds Can we at least talk about the macaroni & cheese breakfast?
@therealjrn We can talk about almost anything you like.
@Seeds Well, it just seems to me that mac&cheese isn’t the most healthy breakfast. Doesn’t it need a protein, like octopus?
@therealjrn she was a vegetarian at the time
@Seeds so she didn’t eat meat?
@therealjrn Including octopus
@Seeds @therealjrn
Try again.
@seeds, come in now. Put the bottle down for a sec.
@f00l @therealjrn No, I got it. Just trying to let it go.

The second option has always irritated me.
@f00l @Seeds What? I was just asking. I like bacon in my mac&cheese.
@Seeds @therealjrn
Fair enough. That joke seemed so obvious that it was hard to let go of.
But I also kinda dislike such endless obvious stereotypical jokes.
And the joke was totally out of place with your poignant story.
Apologies.
@f00l @Seeds What joke? Sometimes I like beef in my mac&cheese.
@f00l @therealjrn We’re good.
hey @Thumperchick, any chance I can get you to change the banner? I didn’t notice it when I made the thread, but I hate it. Anything you think is appropriate is fine.
@Thumperchick you’re the best
@Seeds @Thumperchick Done.
@narfcake thank you! You are also the best. I refuse to answer any questions about two superlatives.
@narfcake @Seeds @Thumperchick Not that I mind personally, but what happened to the new “no profanity in titles” rule? Or is that just for ‘fuck’?
@ACraigL is shitfaced a profanity?
@narfcake @Seeds I’d already changed it and you changed it again.
/giphy ch-ch-changes
@ACraigL The rule is still evolving, really.
/giphy ambiguous
@Seeds @Thumperchick Aww, crap! Well, we all know who’s to blame for this …
@ACraigL If we go by MPAA guidelines, “shit” is rated PG, whereas “fuck” is rated R.
If we go by Woot’s forum guidelines, there’s a word filter for fuck but no word filter for shit. Technically, this one should have been redacted:

@seeds
You rock. You know that right?
Still working in watching the damn video.
Memories of youth and Manhattan…
@f00l I’m a better person now than I was when this story happened. I owe her that.
Thank you though.
@Seeds
👁
: )
@Seeds
There is some real innocence and sweetness in that story.
@bramby2 The poster was a gift

@DennisG2014 haha I love Espolon reposado and anejo, but I don’t think of it as cheap.
This was Sauza gold. Truly cheap.

@DennisG2014 Haha I would be happy to open the next video downing some, but I’m not sure where to get it. I don’t think I’ve seen it before.

@RiotDemon yes?
@RiotDemon Interesting. Tell us more.

Personally, hoping people don’t.
Good to see ya.

Guess I’ll have to make another next week.
