Keep the beard, drink more (always drink more), and carry a bag with lumps of coal in it. Throw a lump of coal at the "comedian", while shouting "here's your present, asswipe".

Re: Ask Eric
If I ever find you wasting good whiskey for a pickleback, I will take the bottle from you & leave. Use some rotgut, since the brine wipes out the taste.

Dear Eric.
I accidentally opened a Hefeweizen when I was going for a black beer. Now the Hefeweizen is in the wrong type of glass and the yeast is still stuck in the bottom of the bottle. What is the right way to proceed so Germany does not annul my citizenship?

Re: Ask Eric
Stop drinking beer and switch to schnapps until you have learned the correct procedures. Being Germany, there may be a test involved to retain citizenship.

Dear Eric,
How long did it take you to grow your ginger beard? It is EPIC! I too have a ginger beard and want it to be long like yours.
Thanks,

It depends on the make of your ice cream: milk-based ice cream should preferably be licked, water-based ice cream (otter pops) should preferably be sucked.misfit wrote:which is best, sucking or licking.....?...
Of course you forgot the third option: spooning.
'Twas ice cream you were talking about, right?

No, not really. If she had talked about the appropriate way to suck a dick, maybe. Even a finger. The "say it's about food" option is just too common for my tastes.Sunbeam56 wrote:Excellent riposte, Kat.![]()

So, a serious one for you dear. Though dye with dignity is not doing any large scale fundraisers, I am considering auctioning a couple of hand knit pieces through eBay. All proceeds to be used for silk/dyes for use on playa. Is it permissible to link to said auction from my dwd camp thread?
