Some things, I just don;t want to think about

[Nippy]

LOL sorry. Work and Mass Effect distracted me for a bit

How's it going Chan? How are you mate?

And me? Fallen Paladin? I already fell, I blame The DF's for that.

[fable]

And me? Fallen Paladin?

Hard to believe, I know. I think of you more as "Paladin lying in the gutter, face down, who is rising slowly with the aid of empty bottle." So you're on your way back up. Congratulations!

Watch out for DW, by the way. She's been known to cast Summon Alcoholic Spirits on the board. No magical saves to that.

And dare I ask? Was it BS who was responsible for your Fall?

@Fable,
well t'is the season for spirits! I can't see any reason to avoid merriness and general festivities!

[fable]

Yes, but you've been doing that in August, too! Of course, I don't see any reason to avoid celebrations in August, but that just may be me.

[dragon wench]

Indeed, but in August it's a different form of revelry. During the hot summer months, one must imbibe in delights such as nicely chilled Viogner, or perhaps a Gin and Tonic.
These darker, colder days necessitate the appreciation of something like a spicy Shiraz, a Pinot Noir... or for really miserable evenings, lots of Scotch or fine Bourbon....

It's, you know, a seasonal thing, and each season must be observed accordingly

Sangria, too. We make a good sangria, though it's been a while.

LOL! The traditional remedy for cold. Of course, there's always a fireplace, or another human, you know.

Oh, I'm big on observing proper traditions. So this is the "Let's all get drunk for several weeks because of the holidays until they're over" one?

Ah yes, Sangria is great stuff. Though, I find it is one of those beverages where you need to be careful, especially if you are drinking in the heat.
I have a pretty decent tolerance, but I notice Sangria if I go through too much.

Oh, we have a fireplace too. But red wine and spirits are equally suitable if one feels more inclined to solitary pursuits

Well yes... Do recall that this is also the time when relatives often descend, generous quantities of alcohol can make the ordeal far less painful.

That's part of the delight. You get something that tastes great, while knocking you flat on your ass. That accomplishes two great objectives simultaneously.

There's an obvious response that I'm going to pass up out of the kindness of my heart, and because I'm supposed to set an example for the younger set, here.

Oh, am I trying to kid.

Solitary pursuits? What, did you plan a night in with a bottle and a suitably sanitized glove?

Well yes... Do recall that this is also the time when relatives often descend, generous quantities of alcohol can make the ordeal far less painful.

Only if you can drink just enough to forget about them without making it obvious in their presence that they are forgotten. This is very difficult to manage. With my wife's folks coming for the holidays, I'm considering a variety of remedies, however.

The taste part is great, I just don't enjoy the being knocked flat out part It's that horror at the potential loss of control, and waking up the next morning wondering what one might have done or said the previous afternoon/evening.
Though, I have to say, it has been a very long time since I've done anything quite like that. Parenthood has made me so responsible.... *sigh*

...Fable you have an extremely unhealthy imagination... I never implied anything of the sort, just you know.. A night with a good book, or a few hours writing in one's journal.

I figure the best remedies are those that knock the relatives out for a week straight, and they have no recollection of anything that happened once they revive

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Hiya Supermonk, long time no see.

[fable]

...Fable you have an extremely unhealthy imagination...

Nonsense. My imagination is very healthy. Just look above.

Are wel allowed to take a vote on what activity you will pursue?

If you find something short of out-and-out strangulation that works, please let me know.

[Maharlika]

A Fallen Nippy because of BS?

Sounds logical, but knowing what BS stands for here at SYM, hell, that's a really bad mental image!

Then again, maybe Sensei just showed Nippy the path towards his BE. :mischief:

[oozae]

Hello Fable.

[Nippy]

Hello Fable.

When I read that reply I felt it got a bit eery. I had this running through my head!

[Bloodstalker]

That's what Eery looks like?

I ain;t even sure I want to know how you found that. Are the fallen paladin rumors true, and even more sickening than we thought?:speech:

[Nippy]

Well I kinda meant that's what Oozae would look at Fable like.

[dragon wench]

It could have been worse... It could have been a hamster... :speech:

[Kipi]

It could have been worse... It could have been a hamster... :speech:

Enlight me, how would have hamster done it worse?

[Maharlika]

Enlight me, how would have hamster done it worse?

I know what could even be worsER...

... sheep. :speech:

Nasty that. :mischief:
