OTDOTD 9/24: The I'm 21 and 1 day old edition.

Best Chineese Food right there.

And whoa, this was remarkably coherent.

 - Free alcohol almost always trumps paid-for alcohol, unless it’s Bud/Bud Light, and even then it’s tempting. Age doesn’t matter.
 - Broccoli Beef is indeed better than General Tso.
 - Don’t care.
 - Don’t care.
 - Manny’s > Mirror Pond > Full Sail. Whisky is in a different class altogether.
 - Watching other baseball and catching up on my Netflix queue.
 - Dave Attell used to be funny. The Gong Show is pure shit.
 - Don’t watch TV at work.
 - Europe should care about A football about as much as America cares about soccer. Why do they need to care about A Football?
 - Knowing the Mariners, they’ll trade the #1 pick thinking they’re trading FOR it.
 - Lorikeets, otters, koalas, pandas, naked mole rats.
 - Don’t know don’t care. But happy birthday.
 - Shattered, pissed, trolleyed, housed, bent, all fuckered up, messed up, drunkified, loaded, liquored up, altered, affected, shitfaced, hammered. I’m sure there’s more but it’s too early to think.

if you’re truly hung over, carbonated soda may actually make you feel worse.

Instantly puts me at ease.

My ladyfriend I have just begun dating is going to be pissed.

is a decent place to catch up with new music and stuff (Sound Opinions is better and less snobbish, though). This week they did a “”http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94872218" target="new">fall music preview“, and I was actually pretty impressed with the tracks they played from the ”http://www.amazon.com/Tell-Tale-Signs-Bootleg-Vol/dp/B001D06SEI/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1222272668&sr=8-1" target="new">new Bob Dylan album.

I’m not a huge Dylan fan, especially his more recent stuff, but the two sings I heard here were pretty cool.

- Free alcohol is the best until a) death or b) your liver fails.
- Three words: Dim Fucking Sum
- Um… over/under 24 minutes?
- At some point I did a lot of research on casino games. In Spanish 21, they take out the 10’s, jack up the rules of blackjack, and the house edge is like 5.5%, making it one of the worst table games you can play in terms of expectation… which is why the casinos here love it.
- For some reason, I find Full Sail to be a bit skunky. Your mileage may definitely vary.
- I have done a lot of writing, research, practiced my poker game, played Desktop Tower Defense, ate, drank, gone on long walks and slept… not necessarily in that order.
- GONG! I wish some open mike nights were conducted Gong Show style.
- Tip on watching TV at work: don’t
- Europe is catching onto American Football? That’s what they said 15 years ago. Still nothing more than fringe entertainment to them, kind of like what arena football is to us.
- We may take Strasburg #1. We may take Grant Green. Who knows how the FO will twist between now and next June.
- Polar bears and penguins are cooler than kangaroos. In fact they are very cold.
- Synonyms for drunk: drnuk drknu dkrnu etc

the Arctic sucks.

Major NCAA athletics aren’t really enforced anymore

- Free is usually best unless it tastes like piss, aka any macro beer (perhaps excepting High Life if desperate)
- Anything at a bowling alley is likely to taste the same anyway, particularly if you’re drunk
- I think you broke your laptop.
- You pronounce it vienteuno
- Whiskey>Full Sail brews that are only available on tap>my pumpkin ale of last night>my frozen Abita beer>High Life
- Listening to baseball
- I don’t have TV access but I want to watch that Holes show while drinking
-I wouldn’t want to watch it while at work, however
-Europe should stick to European football because it’s better
-Clearly S-Man doesn’t want us
-Sea Otters trump all
-Vienteuno
-I’ll defer to greater minds.

Today is National Punctuation Day!

My LA-living cousin’s husband just took their 5 year old son to his first pro baseball game, at Dodger Stadium. Early fall, Dodger Stadium, gorgeous night, the home team wins; can’t get much better than that. My first baseball game was at the Kingdome and, although I can’t be bothered to try and remember exactly what game it was, the fact that it was in about 1980 pretty much assures it was a loss.

The romanticism of a first baseball game loses something when you’re in a concrete mausoleum watching a crap team.

a weary world shrugs and says “Who? ”http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=462319" target="new">oh, him. Right."

Fun fact about the Roxbury. It has the most authentic Chinese food in Seattle. When they added the casino they decided to pander to the large Asian population that came into the casino. So they paid good money to have a respected chef from Beijing come over and oversee their menu and kitchen. Next time order something you do not recognize. You will be pleased.

Mirror Pond is my favorite beer, but I find Manny’s to be a good replacement.

Seagrams 7 is a good whiskey for shooting or mixing, but not for sipping.

Would you be allowed to eat ice cream made from breast milk?

Bank just asked me for a written explanation on why my Mailing address is different from my current living address.

Russian race walkers banned 2 years for doping

after scoring 8 runs in this inning, still up with 2 out.

We’ve had optical digital media for over 25 years, and optical digital video media for 11 years. So why is it that people still return DVDs coated with fingerprints and scratches (that weren’t there when the disc went out) and expect me to credit their account? Are people really that incapable of properly handling DVDs?
