this circle here, it's never ending

The circle has been unravelled
and it's now a hosepipe that stretches from me and b69's pubs all the way across the Atlantic.

Well let me break it then.
I have the finances, lack of commitments and inclination to get as pissed as a little beetle tomorrow night.

Regrettably it appears that my drinking band of brothers are all otherwise engaged.

As we know, B3TA closes on Friday evenings, so what must I do?

Befriend random strangers in the local would seem to be the best option.

Good timing
I was just getting worried that Maladicta's contribution might just be the one that bursts Kristine, so you can tap into the transatlantic alcohol pipeline to ease Kristine's load.

That works in the US
Although a UK accent opens doors in the US in most bars, especially out of the touristy bits.

Doesn't always work here though.

I clearly replied to the wrong post here
yikes

but yes, having an accent would most likely open loads of doors here, a girl I knew in highschool went to france after graduation and people made fun of her accent

Back in the States, they just luvv'd my accent - especially in the Deep South.

In certain places
But most spectacularly Colorado Springs, CO., my accent opened rather more than just doors.

loads of trousers?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:17, Reply)

And then the Americans refer to them as pants
and the British say I can open the pants as well.

Ah well, at least if us Brits do flash ourselves, we can blame it on a transatlantic misunderstanding.

pffffffft
I've never heard such a ridiculous argument as "Pants v Trousers" or "Pants v Underwear"
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:26, Reply)

It's all a load of pants anyway
But I like the "name the next stage of clothing after the previous" technique as an excuse to all get naked.

Frankly
Upon getting to that point semantics tend to be the last thing on my mind.

No thank you.

How pissed
do little beetles get then?
( Maladicta, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:34, Reply)

Little Beetles everywhere
Scurry about their little beetle nests, saying "we'll get as pissed as a TD tonight."
