Just hold a celebration of life there. Should be a touch less formal.

Chop,

Jacket required at a super high end restaurant tilts you?

If you really hate suits, you can do nice jeans and a blazer.

That was me, not chop, and for a special occasion, I'd likely dress up anyway, but don't like being told that I have to.
03-07-2016 , 02:21 AM
I'm definitely glad to be on the west coast where the dress code is way more relaxed than elsewhere.
03-07-2016 , 02:38 AM
Damn.

Saw a reference and/or link somewhere or other to the YTF weight loss/gain thread over in H&F and spent the last day and a half reading the damn thing. Entertaining as hell but what a time-sink. Thread definitely delivers tho!

Celebration of Life TR:

Terrible read by me. I was the only one in a suit. I ditched the tie immediately. There were three Hawaiian shirts (two tasteful, one garish) out of about 60 people. It was about as enjoyable as it could have been, given that there was no alcohol.

There's no alcohol?! What kind of monster invented this?

Women dies trapped in a broken elevator for a month. In a crowded apartment building.

"Her hands were mangled from trying to pry open the doors"

Ugh.

she probably deserved it

Spoiler:
for real though: unless she managed to sneak in a few bottles of water with her, she would have probably only lasted a few days in there before expiring.


the escalator incident mentioned in that article is absolutely horrifying though. China seems like an awful place.

On my way to Seatac, flying to Vegas, driving back Uhaul tomorrow. Stuff has been in storage for over a year, finally bringing it back.


Anyway, I'm going to be spending the entirety of the day playing video poker and SESSIONING draughts. I will record each on my phone notepad. I expect to be able to do 20+. Don't think I've ever drank more than four beers in a day, but I haven't tried. Very new to beer. Obv this harkens back to the discussion in the scame thread.

A little advice... I'm going to eat small breakfast, but will not eat again until late tonight. I can't stand alcohol on a full stomach. How much water should I incorporate? One per beer, per two beers?

I think I'd much prefer to go the way of the mangler than to be trapped in a hot, stifling box for up to a week with no food or water, clawing at the doors, sliding around in the slop and stench of my own urine and feces, all while thinking that my family has abandoned me.

Why do you need to drink so much water? It takes ages to dehydrate, and the limit on how much beer you can drink is generally how full you get.

are you new to alcohol? Cuz 20+ is a bad plan if you are.

water? lol, youll be fine. Drink some if you get thirsty otherwise it doesnt matter
03-07-2016 , 11:36 AM
LOL at thinking you can drink +20 in 1 day when you've never drank more than 4.

Enjoy your time in the hospital with alcohol poisoning.
03-07-2016 , 11:38 AM
If you drink the equivalent amount of alcohol via spirits it'll be fine

From CNN's front page just now:



Google/Bing about to see a looooot of NSFW searches.

If one normally drank 20 pints of alcohol in a day via spirits, drinking that instead via beer will be fine.
