Go, network! Order what you think you can eat. If they are drinkers, order a vodka/ice and a glass of water, then switch 'em. -- nm

that's just silly. -- nm - decline Feb 13, 11:15 2
- absolutely, but it really happens, especially the higher up you go. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:17 1
  - not around here it doesn't. Big wigs around here drink like fishes and expect you to keep up - decline Feb 13, 11:20
Eeeesh. Is there really a need to fake drink in this day and age? I hope the hell not. -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:12 21
- Those circles and mentality still exist, yes. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:13 20
  - Well, at least the smoking circles are dead, and reversed. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:17 6
    - In my work I see a different world. I see the Kennedy-type circles and it's alive and kicking. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:19 5
      - Yep. I think your views are a bit tainted on this one. Mop lives in Corvallis with Corvallis people. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:20 4
        
        yeah, I can see that now. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:24 3
        
        :) I like your stories of Hollywood though. Crazy place -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:26 2
        
        Come on down and visit! -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 11:33 1
        
        Soon!! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:34

    - *scratches you off the next invite list* -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:16 11
      - I'm a unique case, however - in that I have never had an alcoholic beverage in my life ... extreme teetotaler. So I wouldn't even pretend. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:21 5
        
        Have you ever taken Nyquil? -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:22 4
        
        No. Although when I was a kid I did take Dimetapp, but I don't know if that had alcohol at the time. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:24 3
        
        (I have had food that was prepared with alcohol, under the guise that it "cooked off", but I'm not too concerned about that.) - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:28
        
        LUSH! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:26 1
        
        hah. (see above IM :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:29
      - I would imagine you see the extreme of this though considering where you live and what you do. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:18 1
        
        Yes. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:20
      - don't be ridiculous. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:18 1
        
        To be fair. Look at where he lives and what he does. I think he's making a point, and not trying to be rude -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:18
      - scratches you off of mine right back. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 11:16
