We're nicer and politer than other websites we could mention; but also more bohemian and a good deal drubker. Along the lines of saké drinking etiquette, what absurd guidelines to posting on 9622 could we come up with - if we were evil people - to put the fear of God into those who might be thinking of joining us?
Btw, Kimmy, Stav, Crash, Kaf and other vodker drinkers : did you know someone in Tunisia is supplying litres of Stolichnaya and Moskovskaya for less than $2.50 a litre?
I'll try it out and report back.
Posted by: Miguel on October 25, 2003 11:56 PMok, I'm drunk and I feel the need to vent....
I got fired from a job where I was the ONLY one who didn't go for the Saki Martinis at lunch. (mainly because my important meetings were scheduled for around 2pm so I would be sure o be there in time)
Posted by: tj on October 26, 2003 02:11 AMok, if I was sober I would log into the admin stuff and delete that
Posted by: tj on October 26, 2003 02:41 AMHere in the 'hood, Moskovskaya is $18 for a two litre, and we think that's a fairly acceptable deal. Stoli is usually "on sale" for $25 for the same size, but I think the Moskovskaya is just as good.
I guess all that swimming across the ocean and up the Ohio River adds considerably to the cost.
Posted by: tizzie on October 26, 2003 08:13 AMAnd as to Miguel's topic - 9622 etiquette blesses posting under the influence. Drubken gobbletygook is received in the spirit under which it was intended.
(see what I mean?)

Tell them they must fear God...da da teh porcelain one, Ralph. Better yet make them take the bar exam. We need some real bartenders around here;P

Like the hazing and the institutional sodomy isn't enough?
Posted by: filmgoerjuan on October 26, 2003 12:32 PMVodka for me is good enough at about $15 for a one liter/re. Polar Ice isn't too bad. Monopolova is better.
Mmmm, potato vodka.
Posted by: ufez on October 26, 2003 02:29 PMThere are so many acorns being shaken out of my trees right now (by squirrels) that it sounds like light hail. My front sidewalk looks like a cholcolate-chip cookie.
Posted by: notsnot on October 26, 2003 05:04 PMI say every prospective member must prove to the affirmation of the collective that they can "protect" notsnot's "acorns" from "squirrels."
Then? We tattoo 'em!
Posted by: Fes on October 27, 2003 12:27 PMMy testicle cozy is all worn out. I could use a new one.
Posted by: Cyrano on October 27, 2003 01:30 PMThey should build us an ark, 300 cubits by 80 cubits by 40 cubits, then go out into the world and collect all the animals of the world, two by two, male and female, and put them into the ark.
That's what I think, but hey, I'm not an admin.
Posted by: tizzie on October 27, 2003 01:35 PMRe Tizzie's idea: Right!
Fes: more like, protect my fuckin' car from the falling acorns! I've got the alarm set on the least-sensitive setting, and every morning this past week, I've awoken with a start, the alarm's going off, where are my keys, run to the front window and turn off the alarm.
Then when I go to my car, later, hit the button out of habit and *lock* the car.
Lunch this week, fes?
Posted by: notsnot on October 27, 2003 01:41 PMIt's only a matter of time until those squirrels steal your sweet ride, Snot Person.
Posted by: kaf on October 27, 2003 01:52 PMPorcupines have been known to shut down campgrounds cause they chew through brake cables and radiator hoses.
So you see, it could be worse. It could ALWAYS be worse.
Posted by: salmonberry on October 27, 2003 02:32 PMI no longer consider "Rechambeau" to be considered "high-faluting language" after a particular South Park episode.
(Actually, I never considered the word Rechambeau in that context until just now, although it is a pretty cool word overall.)
Posted by: brittney on October 27, 2003 02:57 PMI haven't seen that show in lo! these many years. What did they do with Rochambeau?
Posted by: kaf on October 27, 2003 05:23 PMI think the tide may be turning. I got out the potato cannon (pneumatic!) today, loaded it up with acorn buckshot, and scared the holy shit out of a couple of those little fuckers. I haven't heard a *clank* of acorn on hood in an hour.
Of course, the neighbors' opinion of me may be turning the other way. The old lady across the street gave me a potato fo shoot a squirrel nest out of her tree, tho.
Posted by: notsnot on October 27, 2003 05:55 PM shoot a squirrel nest out of her tree, tho.
Ok, as I have squirrels which have taken over a large bird's nest but maybe it's theirs.
Why you got to hate on the squirrels, Mr. Catspike? Possession's nine tenths of the law, you cryptofascist!
Posted by: kaf on October 27, 2003 06:56 PMIt's definitely a squirrel nest. I've seen the summbitches building it all summer.
Birds' nests look like, well, coffee cups (or bigger) made out of twigs. Squirrel nests look like the stuff left behind car tires after a very heavy rain - mess of twigs and crap.
Why you got to hate on the squirrels, Mr. Catspike?
With today's economy his home may be my next one.
Re: South Park and "Rochambeau"
Cartman would kick his friends in the nuts and call it a Rochambeau.
Fucking hilarious.
Posted by: brittney on October 28, 2003 12:35 AMsure, fes. I'm kinda busy now, as it turns out. yet another full-timer fucked up his knee (or wants a paid vacation day), so I'm back to subbing tomorrow.
Come to find out, I may be teaching 8th graders next semester, and maybe subbing for my old high school when one of the teachers has a rugrat.
Posted by: notsnot on October 28, 2003 01:08 AMGrade 8? You lucky man.
And by "lucky", I mean "you poor, poor bastard."
(Unless, of course, teenagers today are *ahem* considerably more civilized than I and my compadres were. Yeah, that's probably the case, so why worry?)
Posted by: arto on October 28, 2003 03:29 AMAre all of our California monkeys ok? No fire problems? Roll call, please.
Posted by: tizzie on October 28, 2003 08:21 AM*cough*
Little smokey here, but no danger of being consumed in the holy, cleansing flames. There are about 800,000 minimalls between me and immolation. I'm more worried about Eyeball, who's close to the Simi Valley blaze, and Witchstone in San Diego.
The fires are in the hills, though, and I don't think any of us are up there.
Posted by: kaf on October 28, 2003 11:25 AMRemember the fires every year yet this is serious. Kaf, What about Rancho Santa Margarita area, Saddle Back hills? Unfortunately these fires will cause mud slides in few years from now.
Posted by: thomcatspike on October 28, 2003 01:05 PMPerhaps Lupo will use his magical powers to contact Witchstone and give us a report.
Only Lupo has that power, you know.
As for the Eyeballkid, he has powers of his own.
I have no idea what I'm babbling about here, by the way.
Posted by: tizzie on October 28, 2003 01:11 PMI. Must. Not. Quit. My. Job.
I have been saying that for the last two hours, ever since The President of this G** D*** Company was talking to me and SPIT and It Hit Me Right on the LIP.
You have no idea. I just wanted to scream "Don't fucking spit in my fucking face, old man!" GAAHHH. Just because you are really old and really rich, you're still a fucking pain in my fucking ass, I don't really like you, and you SPRAY WHEN YOU TALK. And I wish you wouldn't SPIT in my FACE.
God, some days I hate this fucking job.
I did not post this in Jasper's thread because it has way too many fucks in it.
Posted by: tizzie on October 29, 2003 03:01 PMExtra style points, though, for censoring "G** D***" but not all the fucks.
(Glo Dart? Gee, Dude? Gum Dirt?)
Posted by: arto on October 29, 2003 04:15 PMI think in my mind I was protecting their identity, so that the general public wouldn't know that I work for God Damn Enterprises, Inc.
My mind works in very odd ways sometimes.
Posted by: tizzie on October 29, 2003 04:22 PMAt least your boss doesn't fart uncontrollably and leave gifts in your office.
As one of my previous bosses was wont to do.
New 9622 etiquette rule: Don't spit on tizzie!
Posted by: eyeballkid on October 29, 2003 04:58 PMAll you little monkeys in San Diego- Grab all the hard liquor you can find and run for the border! The best house is the one left standing.
Posted by: karen psyche on October 30, 2003 02:49 PMAt least Larry King has never farted on you. Be consoled by that.
Posted by: Vidiot on October 30, 2003 09:02 PMA note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
