The Lurker's Lair #22

[Si-Shen]

limits in Canada are as follows:

Drive - 16

Drink - 18

Smoke - 19

Vote - 18

Of course pretty much any Canadian has ways of getting booze even when 16

[Glaedr]

isnt it 19 in Cananda?

EDIT: well, i was close.

[Si-Shen]

im sure if they thought MADD would not come after them they would make the legal age 16, after all, by then chances are your own family is getting you booze

We train our drunks young!

[Glaedr]

lol, i've tried it all, and dont like any of it. thats enough to keep me off of it.

[Si-Shen]

i dont drink myself, i have had a few things but generally i dislike the taste of most drinks.

Although vodka and koolaid is ok (only had it once in college when come class mates kidnapped me and insisted I drink something that was alcoholic )

[Glaedr]

that sounds like fun. spiked punch.

[Critterman]

Wow... we are still on page 2. Without Red we go through these at snails pace Then again I think the shoutbox has a thing or two to do with it

[DarkRider]

The shoutbox has definitely taken a bit of toll on the Lair, but I think the Lair still does pretty well.

[Glaedr]

yep, blame the shouty.

[InsanitySorrow]

I think its more the time of year, with users heading back to school/college/work there is less topic wise to discuss, at least thats what I put it down to the most

[myrmaad]

Well I love the taste of some beers, many wines, and a few liqueurs. I like summery fruity drinks, and chocolatey frothy drinks, and drinks of all kinds. I love champagne, and sparkling wines.

But I don't drink anymore, out of respect for my husband who used to be a heavy drinker and quit due to health issues. I've never been a heavy drinker, just a social drinker, so it was easy to let it go.

[InsanitySorrow]

Hmmm I am not a drinker either, just never had the interest in such things , I have had a few drinks before at social events or with the family, but I only have a small amount.

May be odd, but thats just me

[darkstone]

When I was younger I was a heavy drinker,Newcastle Brown Ale,Jack Daniels,Bacardi..you name it I drank it.My drinking was becoming a serious problem until I had a very big wake up call from the Doctor.Incredibly I managed to stop drinking completely for many years and now I can have a glass of wine without the need to finish the whole bottle.

if my mom finished a bottle of wine she would be out cold, she blames old age as she cant last like in the old days

I was actually told by a former co-worker he would never fully trust me because i did not drink, seems to feel that sober ppl arnt trust worthy

[Glaedr]

thats sad... there is actually an old guy that lives near my highschool. he's drank so much that he seems to function better when he's drunk than when he's sober, and he dont fuction to well sober either...

and thats great dark! isnt it nice to be out of the chains?

[Arthmoor]

That's not rain either folks. This is what happens when some tard decides to be a firebug. That's all smoke, thick and brown and blotting out the sun and ash falling all over everything.

[The_Laughing_Man]

Lol. Can you get a pic of the sky arth?

[Glaedr]

ouch, that sucks. where are you in that pic?

[Arthmoor]

Lol. Can you get a pic of the sky arth?

Not really. My cell phone camera sucks and I don't have anything else. Besides. It's dark now

ouch, that sucks. where are you in that pic?

Uh. You see the faint cross-hair in a circle just SW of where it says San Bernardino? That's where I'm at. The radar shot makes it look worse than it is, the smoke is up pretty high and isn't anywhere near the ground. It's all blown east from the fire that's between LA and Lancaster. But it is all from a single fire, started by an unknown arsonist down next to a ranger station in Angeles Crest.

[DarkRider]

What a moron, like California doesn't have enough trouble with fire.

That would have been cool to see.

Well I guess I gotta wait till the next storm for anything fun to happen

[Jheuloh]

You can say that again.

[Si-Shen]

You can say that again.

Ok, on DR's behalf:

What a moron, like California doesn't have enough trouble with fire.

I think ppl are starting to believe that its regulation that you guys have fires like that, although BC gets hit with many as well.

[Arthmoor]

Well there's a reason the fire department isn't putting forth a great deal of effort to beat back the eastern flank of the fire. Bad government policy has forced them into a situation where they let the fire burn until it begins to threaten lives and property because the environmentalists won't let them in to manage the forest growth.

So yea, it's become a matter of "regulation" that we have these large wildfires. Every year this happens, and it's always in a new spot that hasn't burned in decades.
