Crazy crazy crazy


If we ever get through all this craziness and Axpona kicks back up meet me on the second floor at the bar. I’m buying the first round. Stay safe friends.

"We are all in this together."

You would have never guessed by reading this thread.
"His presence creates a joyless experience..."

I disagree. I think millercarbon is misunderstood here. I think of him as an entertainer. You cannot write those posts without joking.
Thanks to millercarbon, and to some extent teo_audio, this thread has been getting joyful.
millercarbon,

"They repeated the test and the second time got the result they wanted, positive. This result for some reason they believe. Not the first one."

If you are really interested in learning about this, I will try to explain. Just ask.
To make the thread dreamy again, I am taking orders for fourth round. Just to know how much money I have to bring.

Everyone is invited.
"Can they legally serve Shirley Temples at 10am??!"

I do not think that serving drinks legally has been a custom in Chicago ever since Al Capone.
dekay,

"Got the drinks down (3 fingers of Wild Turkey 81 for me..."

I am sorry, but 3 does not go well with 81. Esthetics first. It will have to be 6.
That is not poetic enough.

How about "Trust is easily given, harder to maintain, impossible to regain"?
"I mean come on the FDA here and counterparts in other countries have approved and tested the vaccine."

To be correct, FDA has not approved any Coronavirus vaccine and all the tests have been done (or have been organized) by manufacturers.
"...only 2% of our employees to get the vaccine have required ED treatment, and only half of those wound up in ICU."

Only women ended up in ICU?
"...to what the powers that be seem seem to want.. which is a quick fix for a very complicated disease..."

I want that too.
If there is one thing to learn from this thread, it is not to let teo_audio mix your vaccine.
isochronism,

Feel free to join. I will not count.

By the way, I have never owned a TV. That makes me less prone to propaganda, I guess.
arch2, lalitk, hilde45,

I am a little late to this thread so fourth one is on me.

As far as thecarpathian's Shirley Temple goes, I do it daily so, if the AXPONA bartender does not mind, I will mix it right there.
I'd bet there will be AXPONA. Maybe not this year, but at some point. When people get slightly more courageous within a reason and venture out? At least I hope so.
"Isn't a water & water on ice technically a water & water & water?"


A friend of mine once proudly told me how he invented a cocktail Death In the Bedroom.

"It is 100 ml of votka mixed with 100 ml of votka. You drink it quick before bedtime and you sleep well."

"Isn't it just 200 ml of votka?"

"No, it is a cocktail. It is a mix of two different votkas."

I guess he is technically right.
"MC adds them to his hateful list "

To be fashionable, I propose we call ourselves "Proud Members".

(Of the 18 club, what else did you think?).
The way it is going, we may need to ask for the second floor bar to be relocated to one of the meeting rooms.
"Just look up exactly what mDNA is and you’ll see."

You probably meant mRNA?

Otherwise, I thought that earlier post was not worth commenting on. Even that particular informational article linked to did not have any connection to claims in the post. A bit strange.


"...was banned on Facebook and Instagram, so if you want to be like him, that can be arranged."

Can you help me arrange it the other way around? I am tired of writing to Facebook a few times a year asking them to take down the pretend account they make for me. They call it "unofficial" that was made because someone "expressed interest" in me.

Come to think of it, how do I politely make them ban me?
"Interesting video on the MRNA vaccination by professor Dolores Cahill... "

It has already been a few months. So far, so good.
Taking into consideration prices of equipment that would be exhibited, is it fair to ask for them to be demoed at the bar?
"Unless I spaced out (reading this thread) I missed the Dinner menu."


There is no dinner menu. Bar opens at 10 am, I think.
How did Pfizer’s legal woes end up in this thread?

Crazy crazy crazy
lpretiring,

I considered that, and may have to use it if enough people show up, but I am old school. I prefer paying cash and bartenders rarely complain about cash tips. In short, no worries, fourth round will be covered one way or another. Everybody is welcome.
oldhvymec,

It seems that, for many, second dose is less comfortable than the first one. Do not be surprised. Good luck.
So it is Johnson & Johnson vs. Pfizer & Pfizer cocktail.

(any use of words Johnson and cocktail in this discussion is purely coincidental)
"...the motives behind that company’s past and present lack of integrity..."

If you care to share examples of present lack of integrity with public. A number of regulatory bodies, health, financial, etc., might be interested.
"Whenever Axpona resumes tell me the time and place for my free wine and I'll be there."

Bar on the second floor.
"If this was 1917-20 it would be 4-5 years before life became somewhat normal."

How long in 2020-2021?
tuberculin,

Do not worry, you did not offend me at all. Even geoffkait and millercarbon have not been able to get through, and they are professionals at it.

I usually ask if they offer gin-tonic and then ask for that without gin. For some reason, ordering tonic only gets confusing to bartenders while this way they pick it quickly. Same will go for the fourth round at Axpona. Everybody is invited. I may even bring my Bluetooth speaker so there is some audio equipment involved.

As far as hats go, no need for Hat ID technology at Axpona. If man wears a hat inside, an etiquette book is in order.

That Talk but not walk thread was really an exercise in diversity, bickering, and wild fantasies. This is just a little friendly chat.
"If you wear a MAGA hat you'll likely be having a conversation with the FBI. Facial ID works really well even on traffic cams."

Hat is not face. You may need Hat ID.
"HE SHOULD BE BANNED FOR LIFE!"

What is this? Purgatory?

I support millercarbon staying.
"And you’re all a bunch of drunks. :)"
"All" is a little stretch here, to say the least. Not everyone expressed interest in alcoholic beverages. Some even mentioned they would not have them.

"Hat ID doesn’t work."

Nobody implied that, so far. I implied that Facial ID may not work on hats.

Otherwise, check "Talk but not walk" thread from within last five years. It is way more diverse than this one. Kim Jong Un, Karl Marx (I think, but I may be wrong as he comes up every now and then in different threads), and many more make their appearance there.

"...on one hand hundreds of thousands of dead people through gross incompetence."

Ah, those British, French, Italians, and Spaniards. They could never get things right like the rest of the world did.
