Colonel Cancer posted:If anything statistics show that you most likely already know your future murderer. They are close to you and they know where you live The inverse is true too. Want to get away with murder? Kill some random person a few hundred miles away with no witnesses and never do it again, it’ll go unsolved.

Research says your dog won't eat your dead body until you're already too rotten to eat. Your cat though...it doesn't even need to skip a meal first. dr_rat posted:My most trusted pet hippo however shall never betray me!!! My fully grown adult male chimpanzee will never betray me. Seriously, don't look at what chimps do. They go straight for the face.

If you really loved your pets you'd be happy to have them eat your dead body, like I'm dead, they're just gonna throw me in the garbage anyway, maybe my cat can stay alive long enough to get rescued

I'm not saying humans are great, but the world is a better place with us at the top of the food chain instead of chimpanzees. I feel like chimps were much more popular when I was a kid so maybe we can blame that on Boomers too. I never hear about a young person getting mauled by their pet chimp. People today seem to realize chimpanzees in your home is unwise.

People loved putting chimps in movies up until the 80's happened, so there's a glut of movies starring chimps. THe problem is they didn't actually use adult chimps, they were almost always very young, because once they hit adulthood they will destroy you, and no one wants that in a movie about a lovable scamp and his pet chimp having adventures.

I don't get it. All those things seem fine... bloody mary good, lobster good, biscuit good. Even together I'd dig it! ...but why do they have to be plopped on top of the drink that's so dumb I hate this trend just serve them on the side if you want to give an accompaniment to your beverage

Because people will take a picture and likely tag the restaurant which is kinda free advertising. It honestly sounds like just a way to pad the bill by $15 for an ounce of cheap vodka followed by ingredients you already have on hand.

I think it is the "put a dying chain restaurant's app menu on it" aspect of the Bloody instead of the Bloody itself being the Boomer part. I still believe the ultimate Boomer drink is room temperature red wine with a couple ice cubes in it. Just, why?

Lazyfire posted:I think it is the "put a dying chain restaurant's app menu on it" aspect of the Bloody instead of the Bloody itself being the Boomer part. IME as a bartender, it's usually white wine. It's for the same reason why people drown decent whisky in ice: so the ice kills any flavour and they can still get buzzed. TBH it's not a Boomer thing, though. I've served a lot of people that just couldn't drink properly. Once had a group of macho groomsmen who kept trying to order shots, but kept nixing everything, because, "Nah, man, that poo poo burns." Eventually settled on peach schnapps.

IDK, my mother in law was the first person I've seen drink wine with ice, and it is always red. Then I saw her mother do it and then a bunch of people from my brother in law's side of the family have also been doing it for years and they are almost all in their 50's/60's. I absolutely despise chilled or on the rocks whiskey; not only do you lose whatever "burn," but it does nothing for the flavor. If it brought out the oak or something I could see a reason, but it just makes it bland. Maybe people who drink heavily find it easier to pound down shot after shot that way, but it's terrible if you are going to sit and sip for a while.

Ice is dumb, but I have to admit that watering down cheap red wine with some carbonated water is nice for summertime day drinking.

Then I saw her mother do it and then a bunch of people from my brother in law's side of the family have also been doing it for years and they are almost all in their 50's/60's. Yeah, I guess it really depends on what you see. Most of the wine-with-ice-cubes drinkers I've seen have been stereotypical wine moms that drink only white wine anyway and have no real tastebuds other than "sweet". You're right about ice, that's exactly what it's for. The coldness numbs your tastebuds or something, and removes any flavour. Same reason, I think, is why coffee or tea tastes best when hot, as opposed to cold. It's why I always tell people not to add it to drinks unless it's, like, a mixed drink with pop or something. I get personal preference, and I've heard some higher-proof bourbons benefit from it. On-topic: every Boomer I know of has no real taste for alcohol (or anything, but alcohol specifically). They almost all think it's some bullshit snobbishness because they never really try anything new. I have more than one alcoholic uncle who keeps asking me, "How can you drink that stuff?" at family gatherings. Edit: CopperHound posted:Ice is dumb, but I have to admit that watering down cheap red wine with some carbonated water is nice for summertime day drinking. Like a nice sangria.

Your dog would probably guard your dead body until the cops have to shoot it so the coroner can haul your carcass away.

FogHelmut posted:Your dog would probably guard your dead body until the cops have to shoot it so the coroner can haul your carcass away. Diabetic woman who was bed ridden had her weiner dog eat at least one toe, if not more - can't remember all the details, while she was unable to get out of bed. Pets won't wait until you are even dead if they get hungry enough. Quick edit: Didn't the nurse lady have that story about a fridge falling on the son and either the severely mentally impared mom or cat start eating him too?

bourbon, rye, whiskey, it's all corn piss boiled in a giant fuckoff vat. rum, vodka, both kinds of wine, they're indistinguishable except for the color of puke i leave. thats why i just drink the catch-all mat as the bar closes, it mixes the good stuff together so it hits the tummy faster.

I have a theory that the lack of diversity in the beer and liquor market for most of their lives did that. My dad had never had something that wasn't a Bud/Coors/Miller/Sam Adams product until he was 60 because he just didn't know what things were. Now I can show up with a sour or a coffee stout or a DIPA and he won't bat an eye. I am disproportionately proud of making my dad a beer snob. My uncle calls him a pussy for not drinking Bud Light.

What is the ice cube to dollar spent ratio for these people? White wine out of a box taste like poo poo so I could see why people cut it with ice. Then there are people who say, "I add ice so I don't get drunk!" but then they have 7 glasses before dinner. I'm not a wine guy at all but I can usually tell the difference between a bottle of $2 wine or a $20 one. Part of me thinks this is an extension of the food tolerance thing because chilling wine can make it easier to drink and alters the taste

I like the ice cubes that are like teething toys for babbies so they don't melt and dilute the drink.

Milo and POTUS posted:this isnt true btw Well it's not like they can conduct a controlled experiment where they put a dog and his dead buddy in a room and start the stopwatch. I'm assuming it's anecdotal evidence. I wonder if having multiple dogs reverts them back to a more pack mentality and lets them go to chow town faster than they would otherwise.

My mother in law drinks Crane Lake, which is like $13 for a giant rear end bottle (think the large Yellowtail bottle in both size and flavor), so there's your box wine. The problem is when she does it with the expensive goddamn rose I brought back from France and it's all "it's just how I drink my wine" when everyone comments on it.

My brother in law drinks ginger ale and rye and one year I got him a nice bottle of bourbon. Guess what he added to it before I could say anything? Next year I just him a bottle of Canadian Club. I'm not trying to snub him, it's his gift and he can do what he wants. I just made sure to not be so fancy the next year.
