The General Chit Chat Thread 3

[megido-rev.M]

I finally start working tomorrow.

[lololitas]

that alcoholic definition is the one based on habitual alcohol consumption, and it becoomes habitual if you drink once a week or once a month (although it does not fit the general picture people have of alcoholics).

As for mixing, I must admit I have a horribly fine sense of taste, so cocktails and mixed drinks don't meet my tastes as well. I know that in theory the danger n mixed drinks lies in not noticing the alcohol you consume, but for me I still have to find a mix where I don't notice the degradation of taste.

I don't even drink alcohol, but once a week is not much of a habit.

Don't mix your drinks with sugary shit, it's a bad time.

[megido-rev.M]

At least it's not salt.

[Gh0st93]

Jack and coke, Cuba Libre, etc.

Greek hoplites vs. Roman soldiers. Who would win?

[megido-rev.M]

I thought the Roman Empire also included Greece back then.

[Gh0st93]

The hoplites were before the roman soldiers and the Romans based a lot of the style, principles, etc. of the hoplites.

Also a hoplite wasn't like a group of people they were citizen warriors of ancient Greek city-states, most notable of the hoplites are the Spartans.

[megido-rev.M]

I know, since their armies consisted of civilians.

[vuzedome]

Both would be roughly evenly matched.
Politics is what would kill each of them.

[megido-rev.M]

My money on the Roman legions, because of numbers.

[Burkingam]

My money on the Roman legions, because of numbers.

My money is on hoplites, because they are ninja hoplites.

[Tanis]

Booze is nasty.

Don't know what ya'll be talking about 'taste' for.

So much judging.

^ Yup.

^ This is correct. The Roman soldiers were more or so based off of the hoplites. They also had their own Phalanxes formation which was very effective against their enemies. Thou' I will give credit to hoplites. They were the most experienced in combat and heavily trained in working together against the enemy. If you watch the movie, 300, they literally fought like what you see in the movie. The hoplites were always, always outnumbered and still won against many great armies.

Anyways.

So much ignorant, uninformed judging.

Indeed.

I drink booze, I just understand I don't do it for the taste.

Curry tastes good, booze tastes nasty.
