Just went rummaging through my closet looking for a microphone and found an untouched bottle of liqour I bought in Taiwan! Woohoo! Drunken computer times await!

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 12:51 AM

Don't drink it all at once. And don't drink it alone. Enjoy it slow with some company

digerati · Aug 28, 2006, 01:09 AM

No way. Company means less alky for me. I would drink it with the gf but she doesn't believe in drinking.

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 01:26 AM

LOL You have to convert her

digerati · Aug 28, 2006, 01:29 AM

Nuh uh. Her parents don't like me it is so I can't go and turn her into a Maverick like me >.<

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 01:37 AM

It's worth a try

Make a screenshot of your liqour. Is it some cheap or high quality stuff?

It's some cheap stuff I bought from the duty free store in the Taiwan airport before coming home. I was actually transfering flights (Flying Malaysia > Taiwan > United States) and realized I hadn't bought anything.

Of course everythings expensive at the frixing airport so it was just a cheap weird asiany looking bottle.

Wherever you go, you have to taste the local liqour!

but nothing can beat our local "slivovka" or like germans like to call it: sliwowitz. It's made of fermented plums. It burns your throat and keeps you awake

And how would I get my hands on a bottle of that stuff?

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 02:20 AM

Fly to europe

It could be possible for someone to send it to you, but I don't know about the customs. And it's a liquid, so it could be mistaken as a terrorist threat

digerati · Aug 28, 2006, 02:22 AM

Ah fizzlesticks. All the good liqour is never on US soil *grumble*

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 02:28 AM

A package, up to 2kg weight to USA would cost 17,80 € which is app. 22,7 US dollars

Yeah I'm strapped for cash living on my creditcards waiting for my classes to start up.

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 02:36 AM

Maybe I'll send it to you when I get my first paycheck. Will start working on friday

Austrian postal service is like two times cheaper as our slovenian:

digerati · Aug 28, 2006, 02:43 AM

I would much appreciate it, but no need to go through the hassle or lose the cash. I'm sure as a youngin about to start university I'll find plenty of creative ways to get drunk.

But it's weird how you guys use , instead of . to separate the denominations.

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 02:48 AM

Yup. I bet it is because of the metric system. You guys use the imperial or am I wrong?

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 02:49 AM

I had another idea. Do you know anyone whose parents are from a former yugoslav country like Croatia or Serbia, they could get you some good sliwowitz too. Germans make decent sliwowitz too.

Its funny ive noticed that lately in parts of europe as well, we use the "." metholody in the UK. the comma's thing looks really messy IMO.

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 02:51 AM

1.500,00 € (one thousand and five hundred). This form is used in most EU countries

how can you not believe in drinking?

you can say you dont like drinking...or you think that drinking is bad...but how can you not believe in drinking?

I mean you can be like "I Dont believe in God" but theres PROOF that drinking exsists...

Since she hasn't drunk anything yet, there's no proof of her drinking. Therefore she can not believe in drinking. <- Weirdly structured sentence.

I don't know. I always see the . as an ending signifiar while the , is a pause but allows continuation. Therefore using it for 1,500.50 (One thousand, five hundred and 50 cents) makes sense on all levels.

yeah but ive noticed some european countries are using commas everywhere lately with no full points at all.

Partizan · Aug 28, 2006, 02:58 AM

Gemini nicely said

Necrosis · Aug 28, 2006, 03:05 AM

Hmm I've had apricot whiskey, could be similar. I imagine they have this stuff here imported.

Maybe they're trying to differentiate themselves somehow? Personally I see no sense in it...

Sandok · Aug 28, 2006, 03:14 AM

Dunno in CH we write 1'500.00 mostly...

digerati · Aug 28, 2006, 03:16 AM

Somehow, in all the ways a drunken thread could go off topic, I didn't expect number grammer to be one of the possibilities o.O (and I didn't even open the bottle)
