Do they still make Smirnoff Ice? That stuff was also crap.
Unfortunately, yes. I fear that the stuff will continue to be manufactured as long as sororities remain in existence.

80% of the letters in the word "queue" are silent.
According to Godel, Escher, Bach, an eternal golden braid, there are two words in the English language that begin and end with "he".

I just found a new place to roguishly sneak into! Now where did I leave that camera...?
Probably they're looking for "heartache" and "headache." There might be more, though. (I'd also argue that the word "he" would count.) One might debate whether e-laughs like "hehe" should also be considered "English."
Early on, this thread taught me that when people say, "only two in the English language," they mean "only two that I can think of off the top of my head."
EDIT: "Hehe" also appears to also be the European (German and English) transliteration for the name of Tanzanian people and their language.

To be fair to myself, though, I don't use those words often.
I do...
Are you a Jewish mother, by chance?I do...Probably they're looking for "heartache" and "headache."*slaps forehead* DUHHH...!

Worse. Irish. Not a mother, though.
But I digress.
Well, GEB brought up headache and he, sort of, but also makes the point that he is sort of cheating. I should have thought of heartache too. =) GEB is a very good book, of course, and should definitely be read.

I still don't understand some of what you're saying. Maybe it's your formatting?

This is obviously the "GEB" you speak of, but I've never seen a book title formatted like that (particularly the mysterious last part).

Fact: absinthe seems to have zero effect on me. Even if it's on fire.

Absinthe is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45–74% ABV / 90–148 U.S. proof) beverage. It is an anise-flavoured spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium ("grand wormwood"), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. Although it is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a liqueur, absinthe is not traditionally bottled with added sugar; it is therefore classified as a spirit. Absinthe is traditionally bottled at a high level of alcohol by volume, but it is normally diluted with water prior to being consumed.
Absinthe has often been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug and hallucinogen*. The chemical compound thujone, although present in the spirit in only trace amounts, was blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in much of Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria-Hungary. Recent studies have shown that absinthe's psychoactive properties have been exaggerated. A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, following the adoption of modern European Union food and beverage laws that removed longstanding barriers to its production and sale. By the early 21st century, nearly 200 brands of absinthe were being produced in a dozen countries, most notably in France, Switzerland, Australia, Spain, and the Czech Republic.
*And believe me, I know my hallucinogens. Also, absinthe tastes like s*%%.

Despite its name and setting, the bulk of the filming for John Carpenter's 1981 sci-fi film Escape From New York took place in St. Louis, Missouri, and East St. Louis, Illinois.

That explains the desolated look of the film. Oy.

Zima Clearmalt is a clear, lemon-lime-flavored, lightly carbonated, alcoholic beverage made and distributed by the Coors Brewing Company. Zima (meaning "winter" in some Slavic languages) was introduced in 1993, after being test-marketed two years previously in Syracuse, New York. Production in the United States ceased in October 2008, but it is still quite popular in Japan.
We know it makes a comeback in the 23rd Century

You don't like absinthe or NyQuil? What do you even drink when you go on a bender?
I've never had absinthe, but I do kinda like the way Nyquil tastes. I'm pretty sure I'd like the former, then.

In the Pinnacle Station downloadable content for the 2007 science fiction RPG Mass Effect, the main character, Commander Shepard, may acquire an admiral's retirement home on a planet called "Inta'sei." In Japanese, "intaiseikatsu" (隠退生活) means "secluded life," and "intasei" can be read as "引退星" ("retirement planet").

A cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink that is traditionally prepared with espresso, hot milk and steamed milk foam. The name comes from the Capuchin order of Franciscan friars, referring to the color of their habits, and in this context referring to the color of the beverage when milk is added in small portion to dark, brewed coffee.

Though mainly known as an actor and professional football player, Terry Crews attended Western Michigan University on a dual art & football scholarship and graduated with a BFA in illustration in 1991, shortly before being drafted by the Los Angeles Rams. In addition to his film, TV, and football careers, Crews has worked on-and-off as a courtroom sketch artist, professional illustrator, and gallery painter.
For years, the home planet of Star Wars character Obi-Wan Kenobi was held to be Coruscant, but during 2010's Star Wars Celebration V, Star Wars creator George Lucas stated in an interview that the character was born on the planet "Stewjon," an obvious reference to the Star Wars Celebration V master of ceremonies, talk show host Jon Stewart.
Likewise, in an appearance on Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Lucas revealed that the full name of Admiral Motti (the Imperial admiral who is nearly choked to death by Darth Vader in the original Star Wars) is "Conan Antonio Motti," a joking reference to the show's host.
However, though they may have originated as jokes, since the names come directly from series creator George Lucas, both "Stewjon" and "Conan Antonio" have been incorporated into the Star Wars canon.

An appletini was my first legal alcoholic drink in America, ordered at my 21st birthday party (having previously gone to Italy and a bit of Switzerland with my grandparents as their high school graduation gift to me, my very first legal alcoholic drinks were courtesy of the legal time machine known as Europe).
My first alcoholic drink was half a pint of Jack Daniels stolen from my parents' meager liquor cabinet (neither of them really drink anything other than s!#@ty box wine-- the whiskey was for guests). After downing the half-pint and snorting a few shots of airplane glue, my 14-year-old self was puking his guts out all over the basement floor. Not long after, I became Straight Edge, and remained so for a good long while.
My first legal alcoholic drink was a very very sad can of skunked PBR from a full case that I found in a dumpster. I was well into my twenties.
Hey!
Box wine RULES!
