Went skiing for a few hours today — I’m way out of shape.

Picked up a take and bake pizza from Papa Murphys. Just put it in the oven.

Ready to watch the football game: I’m loaded up on brews and whiskey.

A solid Sunday.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

If you "went skiing for a few hours", you ain't outta shape.

Sounds solid. Rock on to not livin' up to your handle.

Y'all know how life gets in the way and we fall out of touch with our friends whether it be periodically or for good- and for miscellaneous reasons -whatever who cares. Everybody is fking "busy", I get it! ***IF YOU HAVE SHORT ATTENTION SPAN OR DON'T LIKE TO READ LONG ASS RAMBLINGS, SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM!

But today I finally realized something kind of annoying. And this isn't about how our drunkard friends undrunk significant others hates us because we are drunkards and apparently are "bad influences" . You know, the types that have to ask their wives for permission to go out for a few beers with a mate like once a year. Yeah yeah, that is lame but we are used to this exile and tolerate it out of respect for our friends. And we carry on anyway and call those drunkards ball-less pussies behind their backs. But we still love 'em and will still share drinks with them when the time comes - hopefully without the ball n' chain hovering around.

I'm talkin' about a whole new snubbery. I try to keep it real by staying in touch with all close friends in any way that is appropriate to our relationship- whether it be a text, social media message, phone call, FB post, Skype call, even an actual old skool effing greeting card that I slapped a stamp on and mailed. And I'm talking about maybe once a month or two- if that! It's not like I'm texting them every day like a lunatic or something. And most of the time, people are unresponsive.

Clearly we have more ways than fking ever these days technologically speaking to keep in touch and yet, I have noticed that people are even MORE fcking lazy or uncaring to bother to try or even respond when I do make an attempt. It's not as if I'm asking them to give up a weekend from their spouse and kids to go have a debauchery filled drunkfest at a remote lake cabin. I get that. I don't have many obligations (other than getting drunk) unlike most people so my calendar is wide open and I understand that most people have shit to do and my friendship isn't on the front burner.

But the irritation lies in the fact that they do have enough g.d. time to post on Twitter and FB their new running shoes, new car, views on politics, random stupid memes, photos of WTF they had for dinner- pretty much everything lame and insignificant when you consider the importance of interpersonal relationships. Well, at least in the grand scheme of things. And last I checked it's a fcking pandemic and most people have a lot of extra time on their hands because there ain't shit to do and no place to go. I have reached the point where I won't even try anymore. Not to be an asshole or anything, but really...it isn't even worth the energy if no one cares.

Anyway the point is...what I did observe (bein' a drunktective and all) is that us MDM drunkards DO make time for one another. ALWAYS. And regularly! Kids, spouses, stress, jobs, obligations in general- no matter what we have going on, we ALWAYS make the time. For most of us- once a week at least! Whether it's drunk chat, Skype, or the forum - we regularly interact. I had the realization that the MDM drunkards are the real deal. The MDMers keep in touch more than the people I considered "besties" my entire life. The MDMers are not fair-weather friends.


***Moral of the story...MDM DRUNKARDS MAKE THE BEST FRIENDS, KEEPING IT REAL! AND THANK YOU FOR THAT! CHEERS!

So I went and checked Skype, it looks like I didn't respond to the message you sent a month ago. So I tacked a smiley on it just now...

I woke up today genuinely thinking it was Thursday.
I'm sure you can imagine my horror when the awful truth set in.

So I made an "Awesome Blossom" (or Bloomin' Onion for you Outbacker's). Y'all know...that big fcking fried onion appetizer that you pull the petals off of and dip in a sauce. The blossom itself came out okay but some miscalculations on my behalf led to catastrophe.

I had previously breaded and fried up some raviolis in a pot. (Yes fried raviolis are a thing and they are one of the best things in life. I hear Olive Garden's are pretty legit). So anyway I was going to reuse the oil for this massive onion that I had purchased for the very reason of making an AB.

I watched a YouTube tutorial on how to properly cut it, bread it, and fry it. oett also saw it and said "We definitely shouldn't do this when we're drunk" and he was freaking right! It was about 83% successful. Due to my lack of cutting skills, some outer petals were hanging on by a thread but it was still doable. Flouring it was a major pain in the ass too, trying to get it down in between the petals.
So when the oil was bubbling I lowered that monstrosity in there not realizing that the size of the onion and the volume of oil was not the proper ratio for the size of pot. Needless to say it was over capacity and there was a massive overflow and eruption of lava hot oil all over the stove, counter, cabinets, floor, you name it. Thank Bacchus we have a black smooth top range so there was no grease fire or anything because that could have been majorly catastrophic. It was a fking nightmare of a mess. The worst part was, I couldn't even blame this on a drunkard mistake because I was undrunk, it was just sheer stupidity. Clearly I was absent that day in school the teacher went over the measurement of liquid volume.

But at the end of the day, lessons were learned. I know now to use a huge fking cauldron next time 'cause there will be a next time. It came out delicious. I even had pre-made that Cajun remoulade sauce or whatever it is that always comes with it at the restaurants. Maybe next time I should do my own tutorial. Fcking Awesome Blossom!
