_sigh_ Well, it worth a try. Speaking of Irish whiskey, **Twist o’Fate** somehow dodged the scam; **Coldfire** isn’t pouring tequila for the house, so the ice cream thing was a long shot. What a pisser. And whaddya bet those ingrates in Las Vegas are sucking down free drinks, cavorting, goggling at Siegfried and Roy and molesting helpless cacti even as we speak? It’s enough to discourage a saint. Veb ---

Well, what can you do? You could, like I just did, go to a gathering/house warming get-together and mooch free drinks. Though that just kind of fell into my lap, as it were. To Sieggie and Roy, though. Oh well. Sorry your scam didn’t pan out in the other threads. Maybe next time you’ll try and con me out of something I can get. 😃 ---

_sigh_ Sorry, that should say, “No Sieggie and Roy, though.” I’m rather tired. 🙂 ---

Hives truly suck. I’ve only had them once (from too much stuff with red food colouring) but I remember it well. Out of curiosity, do you enjoy tempting fate? 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by AudreyK \* > **I’m thinking I shoulda gone for another… 😃** If you are, I’m buying. 😃 Just kidding. Hives aren’t cool. But if you think you’re going to get them, why do it? I had a reason to get loaded, it was my legal-drinkin-age B-day. But you don’t have an excuse to fall back on. And I won’t buy, “Because it was Saturday,” Audrey. 😃 ---

LOL. 🙂 Alright, alright. I would have also accepted that you were doing shots to celebrate my B-day, or to celebrate your own birthday _last_ month. 😃 Hmmm, Kahlua and chocolate chip cookies? I’ll have to give that a whirl. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-birthday-silent_rob/31619.md?page=1)
