Edit: On further reflection, more rum is definitely a better idea than having a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Here's the Terran recipe for a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Note the quantities of the ingredients, not just the ingredients themselves.

To make a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster using Terran ingredients:
Take the liquid contained in a 200 ml (6.75 oz) bottle of EverClear to remind you that your head will be clear forever if you drink too many Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, and that your brain will clear of anything soon after you start drinking some, if not before.
Into it, slowly pour a 750 ml (25 oz) bottle of Bombay Sapphire to remind you of the marvelous beauty of the old Santraginean seas, or an equal amount of Jeremiah Weed in acknowledgement of what has happened to the Santraginean Seas and their lifeforms.
Now add 750 ml (25 oz) of Cold Wild Turkey, letting it run into the mixture as we run through life to remind us of all the lifeforms we meet and experience while hitchhiking through the galaxy.
Speedily stirring, add 375 ml (12.7 oz) of Herradura Tequila, mixing it in to commemorate the galactic hitchhikers who died of pleasure among the vapors and gasses in the marshes of Fallia.
Over the bowl of a silver spoon, let flow 1 litre (34 oz) of rum in memory of the waterfalls and their glorious rainbows encountered on your journeys through the galaxy of life.
Next, drop in the worm found in a bottle of Musquil, watching it dissolve into the mixture. If the bottom falls out and the worm survives, drink at your own risk.
Finally, sprinkle into the mixture some Gatorade to commemorate the lifeforms which have vanished and are becoming extinct, both sentient and non-sentient, especially those most in need of aid.

Maybe after the Flames win tonight I'll have one of those, although I'll have to pick up some EverClear and Gatorade. The rest I actually have, including that exact brand of Tequila and the Mescal.
"If the lady and the gentlemen would like to order drinks, I'll show you to your table."
"Great."
"And the Universe will explode later for your pleasure."
"What sort of drinks do you serve here?!"
"Ah, I think sir has perhaps misunderstood me."
"Oh, I hope not."

In a new development to a previous story.

Anyone who still gives a crap about my cute Hungarian hockey player boy at work:

Wednesday, before I got to work, we got a phone call. From a guy with a foreign accent, who was asking for me. I wasn't there yet, and so my boss (who answered the phone) offered to schedule him an appointment. Very nervously, he said he didn't want to make an appointment--he just wanted to talk to me, so he would call back later.

Unfortunately, he hasn't called back yet. It HAS to be him, however, I have no other clients with a foreign accent!

I'm quite curious about him being nervous--I'm not intimidating!

The foreign accent was probably a Calgary accent while the caller was probably some guy who calls himself Andrew who likes scotch, soccer and talking to female CPers on the phone.

Hey I was wondering about what happened there. You should make sure everyone answering the phone, knows if someone with an accent calls for you to give him your number or something. Now it will probably take him another week to call back, he's so nervous.

Agreed with Dion. Go to a windshield place. It costs like $20 and you get a little more piece of mind, imo.


Anyway, leaving the game tonight, a couple of ######s ran across MacLeod as traffic was passing by. After one car had to slam its breaks to avoid killing the moron and laid on the horn, this ###### decided the best response was to run in front of several cars and block them. He was literally on the street interfering with traffic for about two minutes.

This got me to thinking... it should be legal to run down jaywalkers. If you don't speed up, slow down or swerve, then any idiot you hit should be held liable and either they, or their estate, should pay for any damage to your car.

God damn I'm sick as hell. I haven't felt like this in years. Massively sore throat, aches everywhere, stuff in my lungs affecting my asthma...on and on. I guess I should probably go to the doctor to see if its strep.

I think that dog likely has some serious issues, and the owner just laughs and calls it a nerd.

Although, because of the poor state of the economy you do have to provide your own 'Wild Turkey.'

Drink Teh Turkey!!

It might be an idea to have a liver donor lined up in advance as well.

I'm with you though. When the Flames win the Cup I think I'll celebrate with a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
