Welp, Gov. Hogan just laid down the hammer. In 40 minutes all bars and restaurants in Maryland will be closed. GOD DAMNIT! SONUVABITCH!

What the ffuck, whuh...wha wwhere WHERE ARE WE?! What world are we living in?!

Jesus Fucking Christ.

This shit just keeps getting worse and worse. They're talking about kids being out of school until April? That means Jack's home too, because she's a teacher, plus the kids! I'm stuck at home because my office closed down, letting us telework.

This is about to turn into some cabin fever, Shining-shit. Better keep the bar stocked just in case ghosts start talking to me.
Their shuttin' 'em down here in NY tonight and the store was nearly picked clean. I've never in my life seen anything so goddamn retarted. Libraries are closing too. And we just got the we're gonna be fucked talk at work. Shining-esque cabin fever indeed.

Plenty of 190 Everclear on hand to share with any Drunkards in need. Not for use as hand sanitizer or there will be blood.

Unbelievable... I never knew Hulk Hogan was the governor of Maryland. Deleware, maybe. But Maryland?

You know what, after drinking the 190 proof grain alcohol sample I got out of Mystic Mountain Distillery, I might just have to follow you in this pursuit and procure an ample supply.

Loving the HIGH ABV VITALITY!

Gotta be careful with timing the hangovers, though.

What are your tips and tricks for sesshing the Everclear to minimal pain? Chugging water intermittently?
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

This can be obtained in 55 gallon drums! Hahaha.

Where most people make their mistake (myself included) is pouring 190 into mixed drinks with the same instinctive reflex and muscle memory as 80 proof liquor.

Drinking it straight is no picnic, but it does give you a decent respect for how much pure ethyl alcohol is going down your drinkhole. Definitely drink more water than usual.

Best advice though: avoid 190 if you can't afford to be potentially, severely hungover the next day.

Tomorrow's mission

Post by RIPT2.0 »

I have secured enough liquor to last me about 3 months, in addition to what I already had in stock. Tomorrow, my mission, should I choose to accept it, is beer and food. I can visit a number of out of the way redneck stores that may not have been raided yet. I think I can beat them all. I will.

Can't say I disagree. I'm working from home, locked in my study/utility room in my basement with my computer, all my comics, poetry, booze and -- surprise, surprise -- I've been more productive than I've been in years. I only leave my room when I need ice and food.

I need ice and food, brb.

I went to the store yesterday to pick up a few things, checked the TP aisle out of curiosity. It was empty save one case of Angel Soft, sitting there all by itself in the middle. I opened the case and took out a 4 pack just because. As I was walking away a lady came up and grabbed the rest of the case and put it in her cart. I said "That's a lot of shitting right there." She sneered at me and ran to checkout.

Also - The proper mixture of Tennessee whisky and Pall Malls repels the Wu-Flu.

Also - my broccoli has freezer burn.
There were two people at CVS today hoarding TP, their carts were stuffed full of it. I wanted to call them out on it, but I guess I was too chicken. Your line, "That's a lot of shitting right there," was running through my mind.

^ ^ ^ Yeah really. And haven't these hoarders gotten their surplus yet? How much more toilet paper is there left to buy? I don't think the hoarding will ever stop. Why should it if the grocery stores remain open? If these people were really fearful of the virus, they would have gotten their supplies and stayed the hell home already. But they keep coming out, exposing themselves more and more, and still raping the stores, it's ridiculous and makes no sense.

I'm beginning to think that the only time these people leave the bathroom is to go get more ass wipe.

I'm honestly thinking they're making soup out of it and freezing it for later.

Re: Tomorrow's mission

Yesterday there was a nasty rumor that the Governor was closing everything except supermarkets and convenience stores. That includes closing the liquor stores. They already closed all the bars and restaurants, along with the schools, bowling alleys and bounce houses. I actually felt a bit of panic.
Immediately after work I went to the ATM and then to the store, spent a couple hundred bucks and got about an 8 week supply of drink. If shit ain't back to normal by then I'll be digging in the back of the cabinet for the leftovers. An open bottle of stale brandy, Apple pucker, moonshine, I don't even know what else is back there. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
