You skipped a few #'s... I think you need some remedial collegification

yea that ones bogus. All I drink is Captain and Jack. Attempting to get into scotch though

[Fonzie]

I've never understood the difference between bourbon, whiskey, & scotch anyways... A smell of any of their caps turns my stomach equally

Could have something to do with those whole bottles of Southern Comfort, Jack, & Crown that I chugged in high school/college

That's a swell idea! If I'm a freshman again then I can violate the [(age/2) + 7] rule! Freshman girls are open game!

I'm not a huge fan of any of them really but Bourbon would easily be my favorite. Not a big fan of the Canadian whiskeys and HATE SoCo. Scotch I only know of from what my roommate drinks and I get whifs of that since he drinks it on the rocks and damn is it potent

those are the days I don't miss. When a 30pk of stones only got me through one night of partying, I knew I had to change it up

Isn't the real wake up call when you go on a family vacation and are asked to pay your fair share?

why would anyone wanna go on a family vacation if they have to pay

[jbot]

this didn't happen to me, but my apparently old looking gf:

wake up call was when using your college ID for discount at the movies, they asked "exactly WHEN did you attend Ohio State?"

she cried and cried and cried. ok, she didn't cry, but i lol'd and lol'd and lol'd.

[Disclaimer]

I got a discount using my college ID about 2 weeks ago, it has a picture on it from 2001.

Granted, I am still, technically, in college.

Sucks for your gf j/b/ot

Ouch...that is kinda funny though in a rude way. When I quit getting carded for beer and getting into bars I knew it was game over. I miss the 130 vacation days too.
