I would think it'd be fairly easy, if not time consuming, to make a ginger liqueur. Drop some ginger in a bottle of cheap vodka and let it sit for a month or so, add half the volume of simple sugar, keep in a cool dark place another month, drain through a cheesecloth into bottles and serve a week later.

End of bored days?
 

Mostly lurker, few time poster checking in. Hi!

A few weeks back I caught a re-run of "Decoding the Past: Mayan Doomsday Prophecy", on the History Channel, and became fascinated by and perseverational about the Mayan end times prediction that essentially the end of the world, in some undefined cataclysmic event, will occur on December 12, 2012. I have since read several articles and books on the topic, including most recently The Maya End Times : A spiritual adventure to the heart of the Maya prophecies for 2012 by Patricia Mercier.

So basically, where I fall out here is in the event that the end of the world is going to occur in 2012 (which I calculate as only about 3 years from now), well, then WTF I am doing with my life, most specifically billing and reading crap chatboad sites on the ‘Net all day 24/7/365? WTF r we all doing here??!!? Why ain’t we all out there having the time of our lives? Living life to the fullest? Enjoying it while it lasts for such a short while longer? Partying like its 1999 (again)?!?!?

I’m ready to forget about all the moralists, and hectoring nags, the prophets of Puritanism and prudery, the scolds of diminished expectations, the Glenn Becks, the Roubinis, the Reverend Ted Haggard and Paul Krugman alike. Fuck em. Warren Buffett too! That shitpurse mutherfucker! I challenge someone…..anyone to tell me why we shouldn’t embark on a life changed mission of just being nice to others, enjoying all the sex our respective genitalia can take or give…or both (“Word”! to my hermaphrodite posse), drinking heavily, traveling the world? Anyone?

I’m ready to forget about Obama’s speech to kids, Mark Warners appallachian trial march, Jacko’s murder, Obama's birth certificate, Kate Gosselin’s bitchitude…….put all that crap behind me & just let it all hang out!! Fuck health care, fuck socialism, fuck abortion, fuck guns, fuck taxes, fuck the skanks on the View, and just take some times to smell the roses, drink some Rose Moet, watch the sunsets, torch up some sick ass chron & dance til dawn.

I mean, if the world is going to end in 2012, who cares about billable hours?? How about I be a decent humanbeing and rock some ultimate blow out partays while the myopic masses blunder along to oblivion?
What’s the worst result if this Mayan shit is all fucked up wrong? I had a good time and I send my resume to some headhunters after the New Year in 2013?

Thoughts?

we have used the ginger brandy to cook a cheesecake. I'm fairly sure fringy is looking for dessert recipes.

Re: End of bored days?
 

I can't move myself upright so no walking, no unassisted showers, little drinking or prep of food. My world essentially has ended and I kind of want it to restart. Also I would set off metal detectors at airport so I think that, plus lack of any interest whatsoever, rules out world travel. Who cares about the rest of the world and seeing it?

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

It would be for use in some dessert, yes. At the moment. Some would probably still be around for me to celebrate The End of Days with.

Re: End of bored days?
 

Plus I lack balance and see double without the aid of alcohol.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

Most of my bartenders would do a ginger-muddled simple syrup, I believe, when adding ginger to my beverages, rather than adding it to the alcohol.

Re: End of bored days?
 

I think you should go away.

Re: End of bored days?
 

What's new, Pussycat?

It's safe to assume the Mayan calendar is wrong, just like every other armageddon or prophet predicting the end of the world. When I was a wee Odds, Orson Wells told us that Nostradamus said the world would end in like 1996. Yeah, still here.

I suggest reading Daniel Dennett on this issue.

Two-Face was an amateur.
 

It's just a bored Penske. Which is a very bad thing.

With the impending apocalypse and all, maybe now would be a good time for the women to post pictures of their tits?

But not cowboy boots.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I also keep seeing ginger, and candied ginger, turning up as an ingredient in cocktail recipes, particularly in places that suscribe to the "throwback" cocktail pretension that seems to be currently (and by that I mean a year and a half ago in DC, so not too current) in fashion.

How about the beach?

Re: End of bored days?
 

Like walking on sand is easy for the balance-impaired.

Re: End of bored days?
 

Hmm... okay... how about sitting at a sidewalk cafe and people watching/making fun of all the fools? They are even more ridiculous as Wrigley's-style twins.

Re: End of bored days?
 

IF you start to tip one way, just rotate 180 degrees and let the slope be your friend!

At least it's a soft and/or cool landing.

Re: End of bored days?
 

are we? or is there a computer program playing through many pod-like entities- with this reality here- simply what is playing across my screen?

prove it wrong.

Re: End of bored days?
 

It doesn't matter whether we are or are not. We must act as if we have free will.

Re: Look at this Fucking Hipster
 

Like you haven't been following my work for years.

Re: End of bored days?
 

Dude. That's deep.

Re: End of bored days?
 

Mr Man and I made our wager tonight on what will cause The End of Days For Humans (thereby binding any future bloodlines). I took Global Warming. He took Disease. Our friend is deciding whether she'll take Warfare or Space Projectile. Once her wager is in, we'll have room for any others with additional options. Evil Martian Race??? Anyone?

Re: End of bored days?
 

Global warming won't spell End of Days For Humans. It will trigger some massive depopulation, lots of resource wars and result in some kickin' beach property in Manitoba, but it won't wipe us out completely.

I'd lean towards the Disease/Martian Invasion combo.

Re: End of bored days?
 

Sand only looks soft, and if I could sense things and move that quickly, I wouldn't have balance problem unless I were brain-damaged. Oh, wait . . .

Re: End of bored days?
 

Does either of those cover pestilence? And does pestilence include overpopulation-induced famine and ethnic strife?

Re: End of bored days?
 

Dibs on the conflict between the Kingdoms of the Beast and the Whore of Babylon. After all the seals are broken.

Re: End of bored days?
 

You would be catching me at a good moment, but alas, I think I'll pass on the showing my tits thing.

Re: This is the thread where the fringster comes back with teeth
 

I'll show my tits, but they will be wearing cowboy spurs, kinda like Ms. Jackson(ifyournasty).

I will choose a path that's clear.
 

Apropos of nothing, "I Love You, Man" is actually a Not Bad movie. And, to tie it into a fairly recent discussion, the character played by Quincy Jones's daughter had a fairly good explanation as to why some men don't like blowjobs (at least from their girlfriends) [not really a spoiler, what with it being a really minor plot point, and what with this not really being one of those movies that will be ruined by being told, as Lucy did to Linus, that Rosebud is the name of the dude's sled . . . uh, where was I? Oh, yes, stop reading here if you are concerned that your future enjoyment of this part of The Paul Rudd Oeuvre* will be ruined by any plot point revelation]

Why? Because of intimacy issues. Not a bad explanation, in my opinion. Carry on.

*Not a bad band name for an all girl emo group. Maybe some freshmen [sic] from Bryn Mawr are reading?

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline.
 

Put me down for Leonard Bernstein, Lenny Bruce, and/or Leonid Brezhnev.

My wife and I watched it via pay per view the other day. We both really liked it.

Did anyone else get the impression that the writers are big Howard Stern fans?

Re: I will choose a path that's clear.
 

Can you expound on that? Is it because the BJ is too intimate? Or not intimate enough? What?:confused:

Re: End of bored days?
 

I think we'll nuke ourselves out of existence w/in the next 100 years. Whatever happens, I give us until the early to mid 22nd century until we're done.

What does this mean? Guys can have BDDs. Can girls have BTDs?

That's great. But it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes.

Have you checked out your wife recently?
