I will admit that I prefer the cock jokes.

Besides, it's Friday night. Time for a frat party. Who's buying the keg? Or perhaps we can do upside down margarita shots?

pg, why do you tease us? Sure, you're all "let's drink," "take me out," "here's a naked picture of me...when I was two", but here I am, turkey sandwich in hand, watching L&O by myself.

Hey ... I was probably 3 in that photo! ;)

And is turkey sandwich a euphemism? (In which case I assume the L&O chick is doing it for you tonight?)

Turkey sandwich is dinner. And it's a L&O rerun, with goddam Angie Harmon, so I'm watching just for the story.

Here's more information to make you want me: I haven't the foggiest how to make a margarita. I have beer, wine, and scotch. Take your pick.

I would drink wine or scotch. I don't know how to make a margarita either. Can you make a martini? Or a cosmo?

Ogged: take the beer pint glass, rim it with salt, pour in the beer, an ounce of lemon/lime juice, and season with tobasco (if you're feeling outré). It's a michelada, and in Mexico, it's the Margarita you drink at lunch.

I know how to make margaritas. I make 'em damn well, too. (Either: 2 parts tequila to 1 part each lime juice and cointreau, shaken and strained into a glass rimmed [haw!] with salt, or 3 parts tequila to two parts cointreau to 1 part lime juice.)

In fact, I know how to make lots of drinks!

Tell me about it. I can make drinks too, but does that count for anything? Apparently not.

Otherwise, it's the monkish virtues for the rest of my days.

How do you figure, Matt? Read my 46. I say that I don't have to deal with interacting with anyone, because I only ever lead people on; and then say that Labs' policy of only dating people from work should have the benefit of lunchtime sex--all relevant parties being present midday.

It could also have been read as a careless pronoun shift, with "you" being indeterminate: "hey, my method's great! I don't have to deal with people, plus you can get all the lunchtime sex you want! Be honest—are there other ways?". Like that.

Ah, I was reading "you" as a variable rather than as the second person pronoun--as b-wo points out. If I wanted to be a little bitch I would claim that it would've been easier for me to understand it if the comma had been a semicolon. But it's perfectly acceptable with the comma.

Gibbon observes that in the Arabian book par excellence, in the Koran, there are no camels; I believe if there were any doubt as to the authenticity of the Koran, this absence of camels would be sufficient to prove it is an Arabian work.
