Champagne, (on the house) you idiot.

It's not a champagne glass.

I want a mimosa. A blood orange mimosa.

... or the entire Richest Man In Babylon album. :beer:

I spent my whole day on the college and then I worked until midnight and now listening to Vivaldi

So, my old neighbor died a little while back, and then his son (also old) moved into his house. We both smoke cigs so we've had some backyard conversations and we're cool, then today he needed a bike pump so I let him use mine. We had this long conversation about old school country and next thing you know I'm drinking a beer with him in his house and he's a fellow Steel Reserve drinker. I guess I now have an elderly drinking buddy.

When I'm about to pass him I see that his face is like a week from being put on a Faces of Meth poster, just covered in bright red sores and he's skinny as ****. Then he asks me in a thick Southern accent if I can spare a cigarette, so I stop and give him one. Then he's like, "Thank god it's not a menthol," and I tell him I can't stand menthols, and his response was, and I quote, "Every nigger in the god damn world smokes menthols." For about a tenth of a second I toy with the idea of saying something, but I'm not about to get into an argument with some redneck, homeless, tweaker piece of white trash in the middle of a parking lot.

What ****ing world does this guy live in that he thinks it's smart to just assume that every white person he sees hates black people? I mean, I know this is the South, but this is not rural Alabama. There's racism around here, but this was some other ****. WTF.

I didn't know you also lived in the south; my condolences. What you describe is not terribly uncommon, even here in north Texas-- those sewer-goblins are everywhere--and then afterward of course they look at you expectantly as if it's your turn to say something equally racist and idiotic. (I find that most of them just save their comments for private family dinners/situations where they're already amidst all of the racist drunk aunts and uncles of the land.)

I live in south eastern Virginia (Virginia Beach basically), and we're southern, but not THAT southern. It's just depressing to hear that ****, or more like it's depressing to know that apparently I give off an air of racist white trash apparently.

After two ****-****ing months on crutches, I can finally stop using them. Still in a walking boot for a while but life just got a lot easier.
