    Screams of Alcohol sounds like it could be the name of a metal band.
    I'm thinking screams of alcohol is drunken vomiting, which may or may not be accompanied by a lot of noise. Some people without English as their first language, (which here in London seems to be most people, even the Brits) use colourful metaphors which appear to them to translate and idea from their main language, but fail the test when it comes to actual coherency.

      Why do so many of your "customers" think they can rent apartments/hire lawyers/obtain medical advice etc etc etc in the middle of the night with an answering service? Oy.
      Notta clue. Heck, I'm basically paid by the hour to sit there try and think of an answer.

      Nothing at all odd about wearing a Flames jersey, dude.
      No, nothing odd about it......till you pay to wear it to a Canucks / Sharks game. -.-

      Gotta know GK (and my daughter asked me to ask you also, as we play AD&D,Earthdawn, Pathfinder, Chill, and others) what RPG's do you play (she loved the gold chainmail bit)?

      Don't pen & paper much anymore. Too hard to get groups together and keep them together. Use to be AD&D all the way though. Back in high school we had Cyberpunk as well.

        I was struck by an…..oddity in the crowd: A bright red Calgary Flames jersey. I will admit that this baffled me somewhat. Because it seems to indicate that the bearer of the garment intentionally wore a jersey of a team that was not actually present nor participating in this evening’s sporting events.
        It is not as baffling to me, as I am a sports fan. I can easily, for example, picture attending a Miami Dolphins-Buffalo Bills football game while wearing my Raiders jersey, for I am still a Raiders fan, and frankly, wouldn't care less who won between the Fins and the Bills, but would enjoy being at the contest nonetheless. I probably wouldn't do this, as so many people would give me puzzling looks/ridicule me (not that I don't get that already as a Raiders fan, come to think of it), and would either wear neutral clothing to the event, or if I was with friends rooting for one of the teams, I might don some of their extra team-related apparel and root with said friends for their team. But again, I don't think it is the oddest thing to do.

        Yet once again I spotted a wandering jester wearing a jersey that did not correspond to either team.
        Now why do you have to cast aspersion on people by comparing them to ME!?!?!?

        Quoth Gravekeeper View Post
        Well, perhaps not a jester.
        Thank you for your retraction.

        Quoth Gravekeeper View Post
        Which would indicate that for some bizarre reason your friend not only decided now was the best time to call around looking for an apartment, but also managed to convince you to make the call for her.
        Oddly, I had something similar happen this past week. I got a call about my craigslist ad for the room for rent from a young lady in mainland Florida. But she was not calling for herself, oh no. She was calling for her boyfriend. Her COP boyfriend. Who apparently was too busy being a cop and transferring to the KWPD to bother making his own calls about where he might live during his time as a member of the corrupt and shady pleasant and helpful local constabulary.

        They (she?) were supposed to call me on Saturday to come see the place when they were in town. Hardly surprisingly, I never heard from them (her?) again.

        That would be an AWESOME name for a metal band. Or for one of their songs or albums.

        I say this only as a drunk who has experienced "screams of alcohol."

            Hold that thought a sec. I just want to take a minute here to fondly think back, to many years ago, when I actually once got a legitimate call on this line that wasn’t either a complete raving lunatic or someone who thought they’d unraveled a complex terrorist plot while scratching their balls watching CNN one night. Man, those were the days. Er, day.

            I was just wondering the other day if you'd ever had a legitimate call on that line, or if it was exclusively reserved for paranoid nutjobs. It's good to know that my government isn't just messing with you.

                That was a Hartford Whaler’s jersey. Wow. What moldy old water damaged box in the back of an abandoned warehouse in Butthole, Connecticut did you find that in? I mean really, I can remember coherently forming the concept of how much the Whaler’s sucked when I was five and I didn’t even like hockey as a kid. That is not a jersey to be proud of. It brings only shame and sadness. I know now why your eyes are devoid of hope. You have fallen under its sway and it is slowly eating away at your life force to feed its dark appetite. Fool! You should have burned it and buried the ashes on hallowed ground while you still had the chance. Now I’m afraid there is truly no way to free you from its insidious grasp.

                Man, this takes me back... Having grown up in the greater Hartford area when I read this I almost felt the need to stand up and say 'Hey now, don't insult the whalers.' But then I remembered two things.

                1) I never cared about pro sports, especially when I was 10 (most 10 year old girls I knew weren't really that in to hockey)

                2) The rallying cry around these parts for the Whalers used to go something like this: "We have a pro team! We have a pro team! Wait...what? Awwwwwww"

                That being said, there is a slight possibility that somewhere in the recesses of my parent's basement there may be some Whaler's paraphernalia tucked away.

                    I have uttered this sentence and its semantically equivalent brethren at Cub fans for many years with true pity. I was unaware that it applied to other sports as well.
                    Oh, the things I could say about the Pittsburgh Pirates. Especially when you consider that they haven't had a winning season since 1979, and haven't won their division since the early 1990s. Still didn't stop them from begging the city and state for a new stadium...and constantly trade away their better players. Then the owners turn around and bitch about how team revenues are so low

                        Though I will mention that I do agree with the belligerent Canuck fan on one of the several points they made: San Jose likely does or has at some point licked the nether regions of a common barnyard animal. Since we can neither confirm nor deny any possible goat tasting that the team may have partaken or what part of the goat may have been involved, we cannot rule out the possibility that the statement is factual.
                        I would be inclined to dismiss this particular rumor as baseless slander.

                        I've been to San Jose. There is nowhere in that town that one might find, much less orally assault, any cloven-hooved quadruped.

                        As amusing as your take on it is, I rather suspect that the woman was a "drunkard" who was defiling their apartment with "streams" of alcohol.

                        Of course, I could be completely mistaken. I wasn't there, after all.

                              Depends...if the game is in San Jose, wearing a Flames jersey would be pretty harmless, even if they're playing the 'Nucks. No real city rivalry going on between SJ and Calgary.

                              If the game is in Vancouver, though...let's just say I admire that guy's testicular fortitude. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to wear my precious jersey into the fortress of the enemy.
