I suppose in an abstract, existential way, a person could be satisfied with something they posted?

I just thought of a nifty scam one of the admins or mods could perpetrate at the start of a game thread, in order to rack up a lot of... uh, perhaps I have said too much. Click like if you wish to see it tried out, though.

Edit:  It's been a productive day.  I'm out of likes.  

Go back to the beginning of the thread and start unliking things you've already liked. That will give you likes again going forward.

[Pardon My Dinger]

If anybody unlikes my posts, I'll scream.

I liked this one then unliked it, repeated the sequence, then finally left it liked, just for the life experience.

I liked then unliked this post because I liked it by mistake in the first place.

Margaritas need only decent tequila, Cointreau, and fresh squeezed lime juice. If you want sweeter you might consider agave nectar in place of simple syrup. It adds a nice depth.

 

My most recent beer cocktail was lemongrass infused vodka, honey syrup, black pepper, chamomile bitters, and IPA, and it was absurdly quaffable

And then you mix even parts margarita and prosecco.

One could also serve sidecars, which don't get much love but are the reputed origin of the margarita

I am by no means against the addition of prosecco. You can't be a minimalist all the time

I don't like that you did that because I like the original one.

 

Or something.

Because ChiTown replied before I could do the edit, you get your choice.

This GIF is hitting way too close to home today. Who's recording me at work? 

[Vanimal46]

By the way, thanks to Ash, I've been on a Cake kick all afternoon.... Forgot how great of a band they are. 

Anytime I play this song in the car, all of a sudden I'm driving 30 MPH over the speed limit.

As soon as the work day is over most everyone will move to more productive stuff for the rest of the evening.
