When life gives you lemons, tell life to fuck off.

I like lemons.
If life gave me lemons I would say "Thank you very much, life. These are very nice lemons. Would you like a g & t?"

that, too
I was assuming life was providing lemons in a scenario where lemons were unwanted.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:16, Reply)

I am finding it hard to imagine such a scenario.
Perhaps if I were naked and covered head to toe in paper cuts.

like 10,000 lemons when all you need is a lime?

People who put lime in a gin and tonic should have a meathook stuck in their navels and be hung over a slurry pit.

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:21, Reply)

unlucky.
as that's one of the very few food-or-drink-based areas where you and I differ, Shambles, and I'm not up for being meathooked yet.

people who put schweppes tonic in a gin and tonic
deserve to be fired from a rusty cannon into a pit of shite however.

For years I thought I hated Gin and Tonic
Then I discovered I hate tonic, So it's neat Gin for me! I do put a slice of lime in it though.

See your smashed up face?
That's god punishing you for ruining G&T.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:27, Reply)

maybe so, maybe so.
But lime is a better complement to certain gins IMO.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:31, Reply)

I'd rather have lime than 'slimline' tonic.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:28, Reply)

I refuse to accept that slimline tonic is a real thing.
It depresses me too much.

if "the number of calories in your drink"
is a serious consideration you need to lock yourself in a box until you are quite, quite dead.

You're still a lime-queer.

I wouldn't put it in nice gin
but for standard Gordon's gin it's okay

unless you distilled it yourself from rotten potatoes
the quality of the tonic matters way more than the gin. Anything with an artificial sweetner in it is a fucking travesty. That means not only is anything slimline out, but so is UK Schweppes full-fat tonic. As are most supermarket tonics. Sainsburys and Waitrose are the exceptions, and Tesco Finest tonic is OK.

If you're spending more than £15 a bottle on your gin, use Fever Tree. I cannot understand people who'll spend £30 on a bottle of Hendricks or T10 and then put cheap tonic in.

I can understand
it's because they don't give a shit.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 16:04, Reply)

well clearly they do give a shit, or else why buy expensive gin?

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 16:24, Reply)

Why do people ruin Gin by mixing it with anything?

when life gives you lemons
throw lemons at shit until you feel better

gin is not made from lemons
silly shambolic

I don't drink liquor so I couldn't figure out what to say
but lemonade is gross so I didn't want to go with that
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:20, Reply)

Lemonade is one of the things that the US does better than the UK.
Most lemonade over here is fizzy sub-7up crap. Proper home-made girl scout lemonade is a thing of beauty.

This possibly makes me a paedophile.

If it does, then fuck it, I'm one too.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:27, Reply)

I've never actually seen a lemonade stand.
Some boys ripped off me and my mates once when we tried it.
They said they'd bring us the money and they never did. Twats.

"All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?! DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! Make life RUE the day it thought it could give CAVE JOHNSON LEMONS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I'M THE MAN WHO'S GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! WITH THE LEMONS!

It's one of the best quotes from popular computer game Portal 2.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:20, Reply)

that's a massive stretch in the use of the word "popular"

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:21, Reply)

3 million copies sold, with an estimated revenue of $56 million, combined meta critic score of 95/100

It was and is a very very popular game.

Oh they've seen it
they just think it's weird Manga rather than one of the oldest instruction manuals on earth

critical acclaim doesn't make it popular
but, yeah, OK then.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 15:30, Reply)

True, but it's a lot closer linked in gaming than other media,
people are more likely to read reviews before shelling out £30-£50 rather than the tenner for a film

I think both Portal games are ace
