Huh. Is it fizzy like most sodas, or like Mt. Dew? I really should try it one of these days.

Less Fizzy than coke or pineapple soda. Possibly sprite and ginger ales as well.
More fizzy than soda that's started to go flat and I think 7-Up. I'd say roughly comparable to root beer or pepsi.
Tastes like a non-alcoholic version of Disaronno & Coke. Though that probably doesn't help. Though telling a friend that D&C tasted like Dr. Pepper found the one and only alcoholic drink she has ever enjoyed, for which here was much gratitude (she always felt a bit left out drinking orange juice on nights out).
Besides, what's the worst that could happen?Quote:

Or possibly Cycoris.
Never noticed it to have a medicinal flavor before though, I must admit.
Dr. Pepper tastes like liquid awesome; but it is an acquired taste.
Also, you guys got nothing on me; I can down two litres of soft drink in a little under an hour and yet remain my usual suave, appealingly thin self. I once consumed at least four bottles of energy drink, along with at least two entire boxes of assorted sugary goodness for a study session with friends and yet experienced no real side effects.
I'll possibly get strokes in my old age though :(
Um. What. I am so confused right now. Then again, I've been confused since... last monday...x.x
In that case you are toooo addled to have those. We don't need another "what's the frequency?" moment here. (relieves Coidzor of any bladed implements) On the other hand, desire for sheathing them in the next body of a brat who runs down the street yelping japes about me, in front of my husband no less, and goes not only unsmacked but completely ignored by his cud-chewing mother, might mean that I'm not a fit guardian of these either. . .Kobold-Bard, Phaedra, here, have these and apply them to your neighbors as you see fit.

There is no knowledge that must be experienced to be known, none which cannot be conveyed in words, or all our powers of wordplay are for naught. And if the price of that knowledge is experience, then yes, I will remain ignorant of it. Not innocent, for the innocent wouldn't realize that there is knowledge to crave, but I circumscribe the activity and say no, I will not experience it, the experience is too high a cost for that knowledge. I am not a scientist, and you who cannot find the words are no poet.

Skippy, if you're going to collect 100 romantic rejections from single women, I can't help you, but if you would like to collect a variety of rejections for your year-project, I would be pleased to craft you a personalized rebuke you could wear with pride--any topic you like from physical to metaphysical, complete with enough bitter spin to flatter you by rebuking myself. (If you're also willing to stretch the definition of 'rejection' to include 'rebuke', collect some undead-turning litanies as well!)

Those of you with younger siblings, remind me how old a child has to be before it learns the merits of shutting up on its own initiative?
I think I learned around 6-8ish. This was with two older brothers though. And filtered through my own memory.
Which, as I mentioned is a bit hazed from the hour, lack of swords, and women. And interpersonal communications which leave me left in the dust due to getting a different skillset from the origin that led me to this place.
One down, one to go. Well at least that's the depressing Cathy Come Home finished, all that's left is to watch a load of stuff about the Nazis...ah crud :smallannoyed:
As far as caffeinated beverages go, usually at the absolute most I'll have three in a day, and at least two of those will either be coffee or tea. <.<; I've been trying to limit how much soda I drink, since it's mostly just carbonated sugar water. But it's such GOOD carbonated sugar water...
Though the absolute best kind of root beer I've ever had has to be the bottles of Saranac from the Saranac brewery. Yes, they make some fine beer as well, but by and large my favorite product of theirs is their root beer, and the various other carbonated sugar waters that they make. Trust me, "Ginger Beer" and "Ginger Ale" are two VERY different things.
I just learned that my local supply store for homebrewing is closing. They were not able to remain solvent...
I is now a sad hippie... :smallfrown:
I just listened to a new song.
Aaaaaaand my head exploded.
FREAKIN' HELL.
So I went down to the 69th regiment armory, looking to snag some swag and meet some real internet heros. I went. I browsed. I saw them from afar. It was difficult, I was fangasming left and right, I took my time but finally there they were. Andrew Hussie, Ryan North, Kate Beaton, Chris Hastings...
I touched them, and I finally know what it is to be a fanboy. Squee.

HATE YOU STRAIGHT TO DEATH
IT WAS EITHER THIS OR AN AM REFERENCE
WHICH I MIGHT YET DO
You try having a conversation with him without making that face when his name is Touched Ryan North.
Dear Rutskarn,
when the splashes of your hate
dripped from my face like the snot
from crying too hard to snort it
sinus-deep back up, I cannot fight
against butcherback lust. I fall
through floating pits of dreams: a musty body
wrongs me with its worst,
I wrong it back - tears are nothing:
rage should be sticky like slugs.
and we mixed
as a drip of brine and a booger
at the corner of some kid's mouth
Kneenibble: That verse was more refreshing than a mouthful of nectar. Will go intoxicate myself on poetry and stagger around later, fall into a barfight and attempt to crack someone's skull with a rolled-up sheaf of blank verse.
And once again, I wish I could craft more than just acerbic comments and short first-person view bizarro stories.
(some time later, banging a book spine-first against the shuttered doors, only to hear from inside "You've had enough for one night. We're closed!")
That's fine. . .that's FINE! There's other ones in town.
Libraries--more, and better ones than this!
They'll loan me Zarathrustra, let me flip
and fondle pages, let me take a sniff--
A dithyramb is better than a dram!
I do not have a problem. Let me think.
