Never put yourself in a position where your perceived manhood depends on impressing an ex-marine chopper pilot with how much bourbon you can drink.
Especially in an insular community where your continued employment depends on making a good impression, in that context.
ECH,
Currently on his second glass of NINE FUCKING FINGERS of Wild Turkey

Funny, I've drank with you, but never seen you drunk. :lulz:
I learned my lesson about trying to keep up with booze years ago.
Kept up with an Irish former Marine. On St. Patrick's Day.
Did not end well.
ECH couldn't have been that drunk.
After all, he stopped posting here. And everyone knows that when you're incoherently drunk, you must start a stupid and embarassing thread on PD.com.
I was drunk when I posted this thread.
And when I posted in it again, I was completely schmammered.
Nigel, you've seen me drunk, just not drunk on bourbon. It makes all the difference. :lulz:

See, I can drink tequila all night and half of the next morning and be just fine. Someone who didn't know me wouldn't be able to tell I was drunk.
Bourbon, however....that shit is like full moon to a werewolf.
Bourbon makes me fighty. Tequilla is like a full blown psychotic episode in liquid form, coupled with the urge to climb pretty much anything and everything.
If you combine both of those things and add randomly getting butt-naked, that's bourbon for me.
The saving grace is that nobody ever wants to fight the naked guy so I don't usually get hurt or in legal trouble.

Now I MUST see you drunk on bourbon. :lulz:
Now we're headed up to Staniard Creek about 20 miles north of here to go to customer appreciation night a beach bar called Colors. I'm told that all first-time visitors to the place are required to do a shot called "Fire in the Hole".
Nobody will tell me what's in it. They all just shake their heads grimly.
Oh, and apparently "customer appreciation night" means "come drink for free".
Just mentioning that so that if this turns out to be the last post I ever make, you guys will know why.

It's entirely possible that I've had a better time than I did tonight, but for the life of me I couldn't think of when that was.
Awesome!
Here are some more words of wisdom:
If you want to review your entire life and be goddamn sure that you've lived the way you want to live and have that all happen in about 12 seconds, go snorkeling about 200 yards offshore and find yourself being stalked by a 12 foot hammerhead.
two words: ADRENALINE DUMP.
I don't think Hammerheads attack people. But I do know what you mean. I had a similar brush with a 20ft Basking Shark. I knew that all they ate was fucking plankton, but I was still totally paralysed with The Fear.
Hammerheads most certainly do attack people.
They're not as aggressive as Tigers or Bulls, but few things are. My stepdad used to be a commercial fisherman (mostly square grouper, but he wasn't afraid to supplement his income by catching actual fish) and he and his brother once pulled a guy out of the water that had been attacked by Hammerheads, and the guy did not survive.
Clarification (and stuff I didn't know before): Apparently there are 9 different species of hammerhead shark. Most are not considered dangerous to humans and many dive operators seek them out for open water shark dives because they are relative non-aggressive and also almost always give warning via posturing before they attack. However, the Great Hammerhead IS a dangerous shark and quite a bit more aggressive than the other species are.
Did a little research, and found this first hand account of a man who was almost eaten by a Hammerhead Shark. (Skip to 7m20s)

Posture is important to watch for if you're in the water with sharks.
Crazy thing is that hammerheads (most sub-species) are schooling animals. Not for hunting, not for protection, and they go off alone to mate.
They just like hanging around in a pack, all like "Fuck you, dis my reef."
Just got back from two days in Nassau. China is pumping money into that place like money is going out of style. I did quite a bit of exploring with a particular eye towards the results of the heavy Chinese investment.
I gotta say, I feel sorry for all you suckers who are stuck in a country that won't just accept the inevitable. As for me, I'm writing in "NEW CHINESE OVERLORDS" for president in 2012.
Nassau, Germany?? Probably not because that wouldn't make sense. Which Nassau?
Yeah, srsly. China is investing every-the-fuck-where right now. Shit, China just put forward plans for massive infrastructure investments across the Middle East (http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/NB02Ad01.html)...and everyone wants to be their friends. That is, Israel, the GCG and Iran are all vying for China's approval and, more importantly from their POV, cash.
CHINESE OVERLORDS 2012 - at least their engineers are being paid to build and maintain shit!

Capital of the Bahamas.
And yeah, China has been quietly dumping a shitload of money into the West Indies. And for the most part, there has been a notable and marked improvement in the standard of living on the islands that have accepted their investment.

And if their bridges crack and then disintegrate, that's just the invisible hand of the free market at work.
As opposed to anything built and engineered by West Indians? I'll take my chances with the Chinese stuff and be thankful for it. And at least they'll pay to have it repaired/rebuilt when needed. How is America's infrastructure doing these days?

Piss-poor, but that's not a regulatory issue, but rather that the American public is too fucking stupid to recognize that maintenance is better than repair.
Also, the Chinese have been involved in American bridge projects:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_span_replacement_of_the_San_Francisco_%E2%80%93_Oakland_Bay_Bridge
This was immediately followed by a re-closing due to a failed eye-bar (Chinese) and a series of incredibly shitty welds (American, pushed by American Bridge and Fluor to work too fast).
I'm going to add a personal anecdote, here: I do not allow Chinese steel in the refinery I work at, because our experience with it is that it ablates when welded. Cheap materials = shitty structure. Likewise, I do not allow Chinese teflon under any circumstances, as its failure rate is obscene. German, Japanese, and Canadian manufacture are preferred, followed by British and American.
Oh, I understand, but I'm talking about a part of the world that doesn't have those options.
For most of the WI, it's Chinese or nothing, and "nothing" hasn't been working out so well. In fact, seeing what's being done in Nassau has caused me to do a complete 180 in my position regarding whether the USVI should seek independence. I used to think it would be catastrophic for us. Now, with Hovensa shutting down the refinery on St. Croix, the Feds absolutely REFUSING to give any oversight to the corruption of the territorial government, and the tourism industry poised to go down the shitter when Cuba opens up, I think that going independent and subsequently accepting all the investment the Chinese are willing to offer is probably the only way ot save the place in the long run.
Drinking "Lazy man's Mint Juleps" (my own li'l recipe) and avoiding packing. I feel like this should be the "drunk fread" for the forum.
Words of wisdom: Dried mint leaf tea will do in an absolute pinch. Just a brew fuckton of that shit into the same water you'll be using to make your simple syrup (or sirop, as the Canadians call it!) and shove some of the drained mint leaf shit into the glass before you load it up with ice. Substituting anything else for the Maker's Mark will not.
LOVE YUO GUISE!
I would actually prefer this not be the general drunk thread for the forum, but if you can't be arsed to make your own I won't stop you.
No, I think I'm done. :vom:
