So, ginger ale. Pale, unassuming, mild-mannered. The rice cake of soft drinks. Right?
WRONG! You’ve never had ginger ale if you haven’t had Blenheim. I was blown away from the first sip. Apparently it’s kind of a Carolinas thing, but you should do yourself a favor and hunt down a bottle. Heck, I’ll even buy you one if you’re on my friends list.
[deleted LJ poll]
Dude!!! My dad and I used to get that stuff at this Russian restaurant in San Diego. But then it closed, and I’ve never seen it anywhere else, so I haven’t had any for years. It’s fabulous.
It seems to me you’re gonna be losing a lot of money on this deal, but I eagerly accept. Is this ginger ale gonna make my head explode when I drink it?
The head explosion will be strictly metaphorical. Side effects are similar to sugar pills, and include throat clearing, lip smacking, and a slight increase in saliva production.
As for the cost, I say “share and enjoy.” I have faith that it’ll come back to me eventually in other ways. Besides, I don’t have that many LJ friends.
I will ship them myself by USPS if I can, though, rather than use the web site I linked to above which insists on using UPS. So it may take a while. But it’ll be worth the wait.
Hm, I’m sure that part about how “it’ll come back to [you]” wasn’t supposed to be a hint, but if you mark your return address clearly on the package, you may find something will indeed come back to you.
Will do. But everyone please note that this is not at all obligatory, nor did I even mean to suggest it. I meant more in a general karmic way.
the poll text is showing up as isreali or something on my friends page.
How very odd. Is it still? When I look at it on your friends page, it seems fine, but then I’m not logged in as you.
seems to have fixed itself. i swear i’m not making it up. maybe i was just on drugs?
Ooooooh. I’ve heard tales of that stuff. I hear it’s basically delicious battery acid. And delicious with whiskey!
(PS. I will totally send you a bottle of our local delicacy, Hosmer Mountain soda, in any flavor you desire. It might take me a while, but I’ll do it!)
Cool, Hosmer Mountain seems very similar, philosophically. Heh, I actually had to concentrate to keep from typing it as “Homsar Mountain.”
I’d be up for any flavor. Maybe the Black Cherry or Birch Beer, or Pineapple, that sounds interesting.
Oh, my! What a lovely offer! The violent femmebot karma fairy will rebestow you.
