Over the past two days, I ate two bags of disgusting, stale movie theatre popcorn…just because it was free. [insert “blecccchhhh” smiley here] ---

All you have to do is spread it out on some wax paper on a cookie sheet and refrigerate until set, then break it up into pieces and wrap in plastic. Or did you just not want to have chocolate lying around that could be easily gobbled up? Me? I just bought one of those huge jugs of cheap ‘Red Rose’ wine for… ahem… keeping my _spirits_ up for the holidays. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Slainte \* > \*\*My God! Could you not have poured it on Vin Diesel or something? > > ;)\*\* :D:D - now THERE’s an idea - hehe. I recently stuck my hand right through the chest wall of a baby sheep to rip out it’s heart to eat with some fava beans and … Oh. Wait. You didn’t _ **REALLY** _ mean horrify, actually, did you. Um - er - strike that last thought. The worst yet - the other night I was out with friends having pizza at a kind of “el cheapo” pizza place. I actually ordered (and DRANK) - Miller beer - in the clear bottle… I know, I know! I live in one of the best beer areas in the country and I had to resort to that swill. Please, please don’t take away my Beer Connoiseur Lifetime Membership Card - it’s Christmas, after all. ---

Actually they only made “Miller” beer for a brief time around 1995/96 IIRC. What you drank was Miller _High Life_ - “The Champagne of Beers” 😃 (Miller Beer was better :)) ---

I refused to pummel the guy who said to me “Are you some kinda redneck or something?” when I kicked him out of my place of business. It’s not because you’re black, it’s because you’re drunk and peeing on the floor. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by racer72 \* > \*\*I played tricks on shoppers at a mall. I pretended I was getting into a car parked in a prime parking space. Someone always stops and will wait for that spot. I then duck down and sneak away, leaving the soon to be shopper wondering what is going on. It is almost as much fun as leaving a nicely wrapped gift on the trunk of a car for some “lucky” person to find. Of course the gift contains something disgusting such as dog turds or moldy cheese. I even saw someone take one of these gifts, drive to a place they think no one is watching and open the gift. The window was quickly rolled down, bag, wrapping paper, box and gift (fresh dog poop in this case) came flying out the window and the lucky gift finder sped away. \*\* :eek: I didn’t realize my ex roommate was a doper. :eek: Actually, I think I’ll start doing that. People are really bad about waiting for parking spots here, and with all the big SUV’s it’d be pretty easy… **TVGuy** , tsk, tsk. That’s only permissible if you’re eating at that Cajun restaurant under the bridge… watchamacallits… the one where they wrap up your leftovers in tinfoil sculptures… Yesterday, I ate pot roast for breakfast. Umm, it’s been at least a month or two since I’ve drank white zinfandel or anything really bad like that. ---

First, I’d like to say that, living in Los Angeles, you guys who think it’s funny to play stupid pet tricks on people waiting to park, are jerks. But then, if you’re teenagers, I understand where you might find this funny. Second, the most horrifying thing I did recently was sit through _Mr. St. Nick_ twice. And like it. ---

I developed this habit recently, and I’ve been hiding it until now … I started _putting ice cubes in wine_. And not just in that wine-in-a-box crap either, in _good_ wine too. In _red_ wine. I feel like I just staked **Ike** through the heart. ---

I bought Godiva chocolates to give to a friend as a Christmas present, but ate 'em instead. I went back to the store, bought some more to give him but ate those too. I bought my friend two nice candle holders and candles to go in 'em. I haven’t eaten those…[sub]yet.[/sub] 😃 ---

I declined spending Christmas with family, so I can stay home alone and feel sorry for myself. Not so much _horrific_ as weird and sad. ---

At my daughters xmas pageant (school cafeteria) I growled like a dog at a woman because she was saving seats for her late-coming family. My wife and son were embarassed. I was going to start a thread in the Pit, but guess I’ll leave it here. **grrrrrrrrrr** ---
