Way to fucking Sweet! I actually diluted it with water and all that did is make it taste more like sugar water. To tell you the truth I'd be hard pressed to find a Root Beer that tastes worse than A&W.

Well I no longer drink soda (pop to some) as I find most/all soda way too sweet. Even when diluted with Jack Daniels, Coke and/or Pepsi is too sweet. Forget 7-up and all the "uncola" drinks, as they are nothing but sugar and seltzer. I prefer either plain tonic water (with some gin) or homemade ice tea.

I never did like soda growing up but if I have to have a soda, I was brainwashed into liking Pepsi.


Back in Boot Camp, you couldn't go or do anything without permission. However, if on those rare occasions you did something right for your CC (Company Commander) the reward was, 'Alright, you can go down the hall and get a Pepsi!'
Shoot, I didn't even like soda, but I'd be a happy recruit and dash out and get a can!

Soda is better when made with cane sugar, rather than HFCS.

In Yuma I could buy Coca Cola made in Mexico with cane sugar. Reminded me of the soda pop from my childhood.

I agree that nowadays with it all being made with HFCS, it's way to sickly sweet.

I'll buy the old-fashioned speciality sodas made with cane sugar when I have a craving these days. Normally I just avoid the stuff altogether.

I drink Diet Sam's.

Not too sweet, bubbly, caffeine, and it's brown...

I drink sugar free generic crystal lite stuff from Wally world. I get far fewer UTIs doing that.

Regular soda gives you UTI's???
I have never heard of that.

[loCAtek]

Not unless you douche with it.

[Econoline]

When I crave (soda)pop nowadays I can only stand the "diet" versions--preferably Diet Coke. The rest are just too sweet.

[Econoline]

This is supposed to be random here.

What if the Master Plan all along was not to kill infidels, or even to terrorize infidels, but simply to strike a huge economic blow by fucking up the infidels' air transportation system?

Ok, this is stupid, but it's bugged me for years..

We got a 747 coming down in the night
There's no power, there's no runway lights
Radio operator try to get a message through
Tell the flight deck New York has no lights
There's no power, what do we do

A 747 coming down in the night
Try to get a message through
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Stangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Stangers in the night
Going nowhere

This is Scandinavian 101
Flight from Hawaii coming out of the sun
Kennedy, you should be in sight
We can't see a thing here in the night
Navigator says we're on the flight path
There's no radio, no sign of life
This is Sandinavian 101
For Gods sake get the ground lights on

'Cause we were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere

There's a 747 goin' into the night
There's no power they don't know why
They've no fuel they gotta land soon
They can't land by the light of the moon
They're overshooting there's no guiding lights
Set a course into the night
Scandanavian 101
For Gods sake get your ground lights on

We were strangers in the night
Lost on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere
We were strangers in the night
Lost on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere

Strangers in the night
We were strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
We were strangers in the night
Strangers in the night
Both on separate flights
Strangers in the night
Going nowhere

We were strangers in the night
Flight 101
Strangers in the night going nowhere

Now, ok, it's a bog standard, pretty good, NWOBHM tune. But these lyrics really bug me.

We were strangers in the night
Both on separate flights

Of course you were both on seperate flights! How could only one of you be on seperate flights? You could have been both on the same fucking flight, but you weren't, so it's fucking obvious you were on sperate flights, so why bang on about it!!!!!

Twats...

I feel better for that now

I have never heard of that.

Drinking soda does not provide the re-hydration that drinking non-carbonated beverages does. Failure to re-hydrate can and does frequently lead to a UTI. At least for me.

I know somebody who is pretty much guaranteed a UTI through drinking Pepsi Max. No other drink, just Pepsi Max...

[loCAtek]

Pffft, as an alcoholic and facing dehydration every day, I have one word: SmartWater


A real nurse supports me on this.

I can believe it.

Speaking of stupid…


Do you remember that big hit by Marty Robbins called “El Passo”?

In that song. he sings about his death.



How can you sing when you are dead?



I’m alive and I can’t sing.

[Rick]

How can you sing when you are dead?

Jim Morrison does it daily.

It's called radio...
