btw im a lurker. what happened to some of the great commenters on this blog?
Comment by Dan Collins on 7/22 @ 5:28 pm #
I probably chased them away. With cruel, carking sarcasm.
No, you’re not even a quarter of the way.

The legal limit in Rhode Island is .08. A blood alcohol of .3 is classified as “stupor,” .4 is “comatose” and .5 is considered fatal, according to the health department.
“Our only assumption could be that the person has a serious alcohol problem,” O’Donnell said.
I would add one more assumption: a hangover.

Dan, if the bitter fluffiness didn’t chase them away nothing will.

Michelle-O! joke punchline:
Bitter? It practically killed her.
Comment by Sdferr on 7/22 @ 5:49 pm #
Michelle demands destruction, oil falls. Bitter? Or Biter? And a mean biter at that.

Um, which one of you guys is working on the John Edwards post? I demand jokes at Fluffy’s expense.

Ah, there it is. kthanx.

.491? That’s damn near half alcohol. Lethal level generally considered to be .3-something.

Wow

It’s 0.491%, mojo, or 0.0049 by proportion.
Comment by JD on 7/22 @ 6:25 pm #
There have been several mornings where Miss Cleo and datadave crushed that record.

If you’ve ever been in a Polish bar on the Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago, you’ll know that this guy is good… but you’ve seen better.

I wanna party with that guy. And he lives right up the road. Maybe I should stop by the courthouse and see if I can buy him a couple of drinks. Maybe I could live blog it and put up a tip jar so y’all can buy old Stan a round or two.
But then there’s this hot mama, checking in at .72%

Hrm.
I missed the “pontless gimmick.” What was that?
Comment by Dan Collins on 7/22 @ 9:10 pm #
Oh, that was rescinding the executive order against offshore drilling.
Comment by RTO Trainer on 7/22 @ 9:17 pm #
Well, a few years ago I would have agreed with you.
But I remember Bill Clinton releasing a meager portion of the Strategice Petroleum Reserves and having a similar effect that was all out of proportion to what had actually been done.
It may be that it was a gimmick, but it’s effective due to the irrationality and passions that undergird our economy, so I can’t find it pointless.
Had it not been done, you’d have seen oil jump $10 on the news that Shell was evacuating offshore platforms yesterday.

Greetings:
Rhode Island (Li’l Rhodey) is different in several regards. Back in the early 80s, I worked there for a boss who was married to a Japanese woman. Li’l Rhodey was the only state at that time that celebrated VJ (Victory over Japan) Day as a state holiday. Also, back then, it had the best uniformed state troopers. Nice things happen to deserving states.

Uh oh. Senior NCO just showed up.
Unless someone invited him to join in, we’d better clear away the cards, dice, and money.

Dude’s blood was almost 5% alcohol. A true kegger in the circulatory system.
I wonder if that amount if alcohol would kill or attract ticks and leeches.
Comment by thor's asshole on 7/23 @ 4:26 am #
I attract cock!
Comment by Pablo on 7/23 @ 7:45 am #
Almost half a percent. But I’d like to see if he can do 5%, and you can help by donating today.
Comment by Pablo on 7/23 @ 7:49 am #
Both are still the case. So why must we suffer Patrick Kennedy?
Comment by Sdferr on 7/23 @ 5:25 pm #
Demand destruction. Bush may have helped start the thing down, but demand destruction is in the drivers seat.
