For that reason I usually hide post counts from visibility entirely.

That's just boring. You know what I would do? I would edit php script to output inches instead. Let's say, 1 inch for 0 posts, +10 inches for every 3000 posts:

Code: Select all

$inches = 1.0 + $posts / 300.0;

This would place me at 6".75

[geckzilla]

I don't think I want any inches.

[makc]

well, for women we could do alternative cup size conversion.

Hey wounder boy, (Paul), if you Ever want to run something by me. Bounce something off me. My door is open.
Lets face it, you could drive to the other end of the M6 before you find a friendly face.

Now that I'm here, would someone please point me to the cupcakes? There are cupcakes, aren't there? Yellow, with chocolate frosting?

(Thanks for the welcome!)

I knew I forgot something, I was busy putting ice cream in the Scotch!

I thought it was Scotch on the ice cream, not the other way around!!

[bystander]

After a few, it really doesn't matter any more.

[orin stepanek]

I've heard of root beer floats! Scotch floats? Or do you prefer shakes?

[bystander]

There is actually a drink, similar to an Alexander, with Scotch instead of Gin and vanilla ice cream instead of heavy cream. They are actually quite good. As with the Alexander, you can substitute the liquor of your choice. I've also had them with cognac (brandy) and Irish whiskey.

I don't think I would care for the juniper taste of gin with Crème de Cacao (dark is best). Dark rum might be good.

You can also substitute other liqueurs. One of the coffee liqueurs (Kahlúa, Kamora, or Tia Maria) or nut flavored liqueurs (Amaretto, Frangelico, or Kahana Royale) would probably work well.

I'll have what he's having.

[rstevenson]

Two of my favourites: Dark rum and coke float (best with 12-year old Appleton Estate rum); Kahlua double-chocolate shake ('double' means chocolate ice-cream and chocolate milk).

Rob

PS
Either goes well (enough) with doughnuts.

[orin stepanek]

I've never tried spiking ice cream; I might try it someday. I haven't even had a cold beer lately. When I do have a cocktail; its usually just a bourbon sour. Guess I'm the last of the big party guys. I do love root beer freezes; but I don't think that sounds very good with booze.

[owlice]

orin, instead of spiking ice cream, you could order Guinness ice cream instead.

[BMAONE23]

Some of the Ice Cream places line Marble Slab and ColdStone make Kahlua and Rum flavors...YUM

[bystander]

Root Beer and Ginger Ale were both originally alcoholic. I have, in fact, had both, made from what was claimed to have been original recipes (from a microbrewery). Can't say I cared for either. They did, however, make a Barley Wine that was excellent (and very alcoholic).

[Amir]

one thing i wanted to mention here is that right now Ann is holding the record for ppd. her ppd is 4.58!
and she made 220 posts in just less than 2 month!
Owlice, wouldn't you have even greater ppd with a new account in 2010? how long did it take you to make that 1042 posts?
