mr.yuck Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Ive only had strep once. I think I was 21 or so. That shit was crazy and I thought I was dying. It felt like I was swallowing broken glass to the point I couldn't eat anymore til I went to get some meds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails0nE Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 @LUGR pretty much the same for me out by my families crib in the burbs.. one mall is always packed while the other is damn near empty and on the verge of closing.. it's weird tho because like one big part of it like where sears or whatever huge department store used to be at is some store called woodman's or something.. fuckin HUGE along with an equally huge liquor store.. over by me though there's two malls out on the Southside where I'm at and same thing, one is dying rapidly while the other still has pretty steady business.. 🤷🏽♂️ @NightmareOnElmStreet strep throat fuckin sucks dude.. everything sucks and you can't do anything but be miserable till the meds kick it.. get well soon 🙏🏼 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I don't get this. I keep seeing these squatter stories, not unique to NYC either, and I do not get it. Like I get there are people taking advantage of laws and shit, but how the fuck does someone just jump in your property and you come home and do nothing?? Worst case scenario I'm thinking I'm waiting outside for you because you have to come out some time motherfucker and I am going to stomp your ass. Or, it's my property, I'll bust the window at night and drop mace in that shit, clear it right out. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndv Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I am with you on this squatting thing, OMB, amd the loopholes involved. Not sure how a homeowner would just stand by and allow that to happen. On another note, years ago out local media covered a story about neighbors getting all Karen on a guy who squatted a nice home the proper way, paid the fees to whatever they entailed, which I believe was the hack taxes and ended up owning the home out right. From what I remeber, he played the system just right the home was foreclosed and whoever owned the foreclosure allowed the taxes to lapse or they company/bank went under. The guy obviously knew what to look for to do it right and it worked out for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails0nE Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 So I think a while ago I was talking somewhere on here about Journaling and starting to nerd out on fountain pens and what not.. got me a traveler's notebook and absolutely loved it so much I got the pocket size one as well for all my cocktail recipes and what not.. first pen I got was a Lamy Safari and I love it as well.. just switched the nib to their "cursive nib" which is pretty cool I guess just hella expensive for a nib.. I also bought a kaweco sport because of how tiny and portable it is compared to the lamy.. To be honest I'm disappointed with the kaweco but I feel like it could be user error.. it's a fine nib but when I write it comes out scratchy and the lines aren't consistent as if the ink level is low even tho I've filled it up.. was thinking like meh fuck it maybe I'll get a medium size nib to swap out maybe that will help, then I seen they just came out with a piston version of the sport (you can twist the built in lil plunger thingy to fill the entire body with ink rather than using cartridges). Pretty fuckin cool since it's a tiny pen already and now you can get more ink out of it.. hell yeah right..? $165..... One hundred and sixty five dollars... just for the pen... FUCK outta here... 😒🙄 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 @Tails0nEwhat's your signature drink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails0nE Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 @One Man Banned I myself don't have my own signature drink just yet.. they play alot of favoritism at my job unfortunately so while I bartended our entire busy season i watched them hire dumbasses around me so they just schedule me whenever they need someone, ie today, so i dont really get opprotunitues like others.. but I did help a friend figure out her charity cocktail for the month.. pretty simple just mezcal, yuzu curacao, lime juice, ginger shrub and ginger beer.. Basically a mezcal mule if you really think about it.. Tbh alot of people just left or got let go recently.. like ALOT... our beverage director just left also so we're still going through our specialty cocktails from the holiday season until these fuckin dorks figure out what we're gonna do for spring/summer season 🤷🏽♂️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 @Tails0nEmezcal is pretty good stuff. I guess I meant more like do you have your own go to recipe for yourself, or if someone just came up and said make me a drink what would you make them?

Tails0nE Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 @One Man Banned yeah see tequila and mezcal get me in trouble.. (reference to my last tequila endeavor on here) but in short, I guess you can say controlled amounts I can do a couple mezcal/tequila drinks.. But ahhh I got you.. well I'm an old fashioned kind of guy so my go to usually is a Buffalo trace old fashioned.. just super smooth overall either that or wathens barrel proof bourbon equally as good.. but other than that I'm a HUGE green chartreuse fan so sometimes if someone wants something random I'll give them a Last Word.. it's smooth, it's floral, it's different cause not alot of people know or even heard or chartreuse.. pretty cool to show someone something new and interesting like that.. but typically I'll ask the person what's your poison and go from there but if they're willing to try anything I'll give em that.. BUT, I will say, if someone is from out of town and asks what's local or what's a "Chicago drink" or whatever I will always give them a Chicago handshake and wait to see the hate in their face after taking the shot of malort.. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One totally died and now houses churches and gyms where the big box stores used to be. The other one is absolutely thriving. Jam packed all the time. The only difference I can see is the thriving one moved a bunch of stand alone sit down dinning into its outside perimeter. one of those is on the dead malls youtube, it used to be a ghost town even in 2010 there was a prom tux rental shop and like on random store there felt like a trip in time 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've rarely had chartreuse but it was an ingredient on some cocktail I used to get somewhere. What's a Chicago Handshake? You should make a Chicago Dog cocktail with hot dog water, pickle juice, etc. Pretty sure @LUGRis down to try it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever get a chance to drink it by itself give it a try.. it's a nice siping type of booze very floral, herbal, silky on the pallet and just all around awesome.. Now a Chicago handshake on the other hand is the exact opposite lol a handshake is a shot of Malört and can/glass of Oldstyle.. classic beer and shot combo but Malört is just god awful.. it's mainly made with wormwood but not the same as absinthe but it's just.. wild to even explain.. I've had guests and friends alike describe it in very imaginative ways.. I've gotten forest floor, tire fire, sweaty gym sock, roadkill, all sorts of vivid things.. but surprisingly enough some people do like it especially if you enjoy bitter drinks.. There's this guy that comes in regularly he runs a prohibition tour and comes in with a handful or big ass group of people it varies day by day.. I was taking care of him one day with like 7 other people and walking by I hear one of the ladies say "yaknow, I do like bitter cocktails a bit more I do love a nice negroni" so I slide back and ask if she does indeed like bitter drinks then look at buddy and go "you know where I'm going with this.. so miss, have you ever heard of Malört before? Immediately he yells "oh god..... 🤦🏽♂️ *sigh* alright let's get a round going.." and believe it or not she actually loved it while everyone else absolutely hated it.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails0nE Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Also I was deadass at work thinking what would make a Chicago Dog cocktail.. it probably won't be good, but it'd be a thing.. genuinely thinking like what would be the base spirit? Would I infuse the dogs with the booze or pour the hot dog water separately? Up or on the rocks? Pickle spear and sport pepper covered in celery salt would have to be the garnish.. Might have to r&d this for the oontz as disgusting as it may be 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 @Tails0nEI did contemplate the Chicago Dog briefly. One thought was your base could be pickle whiskey. Another thought was you could take the seasonings used in hot dogs and infuse that into your base, maybe vodka? And add a little syrup in the mix. Hot dog water would be pretty funny. BTW, double extra props if you can get a cute girl to let you pour that off her butt crack and call that something like a Hot Dog in The Buns. Good info on the malort. Not sure I've heard of it before, did a quick look up and it seems to be distinctly Chicago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails0nE Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 @One Man Banned Malort is definitely a Chicago thing.. not sure if you'll ever see it anywhere else but if you do, you were warned.. Also did a quick Google search out of curiosity and some nerd in new York made a Chicago Dog cocktail.. infused rye whiskey with cooked dogs and all the condiments but with liquid nitrogen and other goofy science shit and used the infused booze to make a whiskey sour.. makes sense.. but ain't nobody got time for that.. fuck around and just let the bottle sit in the freezer for a couple days and strain that bad boy through a strainer and cheese cloth a couple times.. leave that molecular gastronomy bull for the Michelin nerds.. https://www.bonappetit.com/story/chicago-hot-dog-infused-whiskey-cocktail Might have to fuck around and find out 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Are anyone else's parents displaying heavy boomerism that the internet has been clowning on recently? My mom has started talking to people in the service industry like she is doing a Google search and the other day she grabbed some ladies stroller and started to try and wheel their baby somewhere else that was out of her way, without even saying something to the mother. As she grabbed the stroller I heard her mutter something like "I'll just move this," like how dare anyone ever be in her way or like it was an abandoned cart in the parking lot. I'm not gonna lie, I secretly hoped for this lady to dress my mother down in public and make a fucking spectacle out of her. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would light someone the fuck up if they touched anything of mine to move it ESPECIALLY trying to move my child without trying to pardon themselves first. I don’t talk to either parent. but my mom was the type to drive the left lane on the freeway in attempt to “regulate” everyone’s speed. So I cannot fucking imagine how she is now. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Not really paying attention to the webz to know what "boomerisms" are getting hated on. Examples?

I didn't catch it at first. My aunt, her baby sister, was there too and was like "what the fuck?" My wife was also like "what the fuck is happening right now?" I looked at my Aunt and told her "Tell Julia to get her god damn hands off that baby." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
