    Beer me, please. Stupid and wrong things happen if I have liquor. And I remember them perfectly, too.

        A nice dark, foamy stout from the nearest microbrewery will suit me just fine.

        The harder stuff is for weekdays when I get my ass kicked by more than 2 machines...

          Ain't that the truth. There was a company party in which we polished off two bottles of tequila. And the police came to visit the office the following day ... we're sworn to secrecy ... the things we can remember, that is.
          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

            I'm actually quite boring and very rarely drink anything alcoholic, I'm such a cheap date lol

            It's not that I remember, but others do. I have a picture of me hanging at my work area. I am dressed as the Big Bad Wolf. I am laid out on the ground after the end of a bottle of Tezon. I am not sure if it was Halloween.

            I had a unit give me a hlf gallon of Jose one time. i took it to a small party. We had a few and went home early but left the bottle, as my wife was feeling ill. At 2;00 am, we got the courtesy call to tell us our bottle was empty. Next day my wife got the rundown...


            The father and son who were there took a cab home, couldn't find house keys, so they passed out on their front lawn, still there Sunday morning when neighbors were leaving for church.

            Cousin Jack fell into the fire he was trying to tend, and when they took him in the kitchen to rinse the cinders off his arm, he threw up everywhere.

            Julie was making her husband chase her. Every time he got her in the truck and went around to the drivers side, she would jump out and run again. As they were leaving to go somewhere the next day, her husband had to inform her that the womens clothes she was seeing were hers, as she was stripping on the way home, throwing them out the truck window.

            The husband of the party hostess got up at 4 and his wife was nowhere to be found. He got a flashlight and started walking the back yard, where he found her curled up under a bush like a dog.

            You won't get stories like that with a case of beer.

              I had the good sense to leave a little early. About halfway home, on a straight stretch of freeway, my vision completely blurred out. I eased over to the side of the road and sat there a long time. After a while the road straightened back out, and I continued the trip.

              And I missed all the excitement. =^..^=

                I would like a Jai Alai, served in an ice-cold pint glass, hands down one of the best IPA's ever brewed.

                  I'm not sure I want to admit to the last time I drank tequila (the reason I no longer drink it LOL), luckily all photographic evidence has long since been lost (I think)

                    I don't drink anymore, but my drink was a kamikaze.

                        Auchentoshan scotch for me, 18 year old stock of The Glenlivet for special occasions.

                        What really grinds my gears about liquor? The fact that anyone in the states can pick up their liquor for 1/2 the cost of mine, or less. 12 year stock of single malt Auchentoshan is over $60 here, compared to under $30 depending on the state just from crossing that magic price-inflation line known as the border.

                        It's maddening enough to drive me to drink! Thus the cycle repeats itself...

                          At least you know that you are getting the real thing. Here in the states it just might be a domestic brewed knock off.

                            How much of that price difference is taxes, how much in exchange rate, etc.?

                              The exchange is almost identical, +- 10 cents on the dollar depending how well either or both dollars are doing. 13% of the cost is taxes, and for some reason as soon as anything crosses the border the price goes up 1.5-3x what it cost below that magic line.

                              I do all my shopping in the states when I go near the border, just because what I buy for $200 up here I can buy for $70 down there.

                                Last time I drank I'm told I had a good time.
                                Haven't touched it since. 36 yrs. ago.
