Drunk on a Wed night... wtf?

[Thin Mint]

wooooooooooooooooo

3ball

8 ball

[Zeener Diode]

High ball?

Low ball...

[Thin Mint]

3 ball is not a game i'm used to.

get 5 guys

everyone puts in a widget in the pot

rack 3 balls

you get four shots to make the three balls

whoever makes the balls in the fewest turns wins.

if you scratch, you add a widget to the pot and you lose your turn

this is played while drunk after the "regular" 8 ball tourney was already done

i'd rather play 9 ball, but 3 ball is surprisingly fun

woot, where's the high balls?

[Thin Mint]

Dang. This is a pretty sad DTP.

I'll join you, Thin Mint. Let me go grab a beer!

[takowasakun]

Dr. Pepper! I just today discovered that the local grocery chain has started carrying that precious elixir!

I followed my bottle of Dr. Pepper with two beers and I'm working on a bit of Tsukimizu-no-Ike†, so I'm more than justified in posting here.

†Not to be confused with Tsukimizu-no-Ike!

[Rock]

I'm guessing that's wine, seo? And is that one of the temples that are everywhere, in the last photo?

[takowasakun]

It's sake, which I guess people call rice wine (even though it is produced more like beer than wine). The little purple grape-looking things on the label are wisteria flowers (for which the real Tsukimizu-no-Ike is known).

And the small building in the photo is more accurate described as a shrine, typically Shinto, although the one in this photo is a combination Shinto and Buddhist shrine. That said, I think the nearby Nikko Temple (Buddhist) handles the majority of the upkeep. I'm not really sure who, if anybody in particular, is enshrined there.

[Rock]

Shrine, that's what I meant. I'm learning about Japan, little by little!

[takowasakun]

Awesome! Care to share in my delightfully-fresh rice booze?

[Solfy]

Seodoa, what ever became of your plum wine concoction?

[Rock]

I would love some rice booze, but I'm at work right now! I'll have to wait until I'm home to have a drink.

[takowasakun]

I was thinking about that the other day, Solfy! I really should post an update on it. Although by now it is for all intents and purposes umeshu, it's still steeping in plums and isn't quite ready. I don't want to crack it open until it has been at least a full year.

The best thing about waiting a year is that by the time this batch is ready, it will be time to pick the plums for next year's batch!

ETA: Tell your boss you've suddenly come down with SARS, Bumber.
