Yeah, I'm totally not buying the evaporation thing. Especially after he claimed to have not opened the bottles.

Him saying the whiskey was probably no good leads me to believe he drank them. I mean, really, that is the same excuse I use when the wife or kid accuse me of eating/drinking something that is theirs.

Surrender is still your slightly less painful option.

I did that same thing in my much younger days before i did something about a drinking problem. I vouch it is a typical excuse every true alcoholic has indeed used. And never, ever been believed.

For me, it's not alcohol, but their "tasty" treats. Which I'm working on cutting down on.

Agree that its a bs excuse.

And my personal favourite for things like this is "my part is on the bottom, so i had to eat / drink through your bit" Twisted

I've so done this to me kid. The look she gives me is so worth it.

But, given the change, she will do the same to me.

Of course. My dad used this all the time when I was at home.

Now its my turn for revenge. The best thing is my mrs isnt first language English so in the beginning it really took her a while to figure out what I meant. Big smile

You guys clearly don't understand physics/history. Pre-Prohibition booze was bottled in special porous bottles that were used to identify alcoholics. You see, they only ever evaporated booze when in the possession of an alcoholic, thereby scientifically delineating a "drink all teh booze" risk. Really, read a book or something.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

Of course! It's all so simple now that you say it!

Oh good, I'm not the only one who noticed this. I was starting to worry there was something wrong with me. I mean, there are "things" wrong with me, I was just worried maybe something new popped up.

My Vodka tends to evaporate freely...

I mean - come on - someone make a bottle that doesnt lose you your purchase dammit.

My vodka is admittedly a bit cheaper. Go him - and why not.

He stated he blocked me after reading how I think being optimistic when it comes to CCP and how they develop EVE is just as dumb as the first sentence in my post.

I suppose I am not very surprised, few people have the capacity these days to have any kind of foresight.

I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.
