I'll hangout for the thread, but no way I'm watching, again. Too cringe worthy and I can't dranks that much tonight, have to drive into the office tomorrow.

[tarran]

No thanks!

I have plans for tonight: cooking a very complex pasta dish with my fiancee.

Why would anybody waste their time listening to people lie to them? Baffling!

[R C Dean]

a very complex pasta dish

(1) Boil Water.

(2) Insert Pasta.

(3) Remove Pasta.

[Hyperion]

*NOTE*

remove pasty before it's a sticky mess.

[The Last American Hero]

(4) Insert pieces of minced fiancee.

(5) Season to taste.

[Hyperion]

Pasta a la fiancee is best served with a red wine... so I heard from tarran.

[R C Dean]

A Chianti, perhaps?

[Crusty Juggler]

No salting of the pasta water? FAIL.

[Hyperion]

A little olive oil doesn't hurt either.

[Crusty Juggler]

I mean, what is this the Olive Garden?

[Kristen Bids No Trump]

A little olive oil doesn't hurt either.

Dude.

Do not put oil in the pot: As Lidia Bastianich has said, "Do not ? I repeat, do not ? add oil to your pasta cooking water! And that's an order!"

Olive oil is said to prevent the pot from boiling over and prevent the pasta from sticking together. But, the general consensus is that it does more harm than good. It can prevent the sauce from sticking to the pasta. Since oil is less dense than water and is composed of hydrophobic molecules, it creates a layer across the top of the water. When the pasta is drained, it is poured through this oiled layer and leaves a fresh coat of oil on the pasta.

However, if you are not using a sauce or are using an olive oil base, then the oil has little effect.

[Hyperion]

I do it all of the time. Not sure if my wife does or not, but I know she adds salt to the water.

[Anomalous]

A little olive oil doesn't hurt either.

Doesn't help, either if you're putting it in the water..

[Almanian - Micro Trumper]

No, but thanks.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Season premiere of South Park tonight.

[Almanian - Micro Trumper]

^^this exactly

[Juvenile Bluster]

Will there be a drinking game? Because there's no way in hell i can do this sober.

[Citizen X]

I'm still hungover from the 2012 Presidential Debate drinking games. That shit is dangerous.

[Je suis Woodchipper]

Thunderdome format?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Reason trying to collect some of that debate heat, cash in on the debate fever.

[MJGreen - Docile Citizen]

No.

[Jerry on the sea]

Spoiler alert: Air Force One will win tonight's debate.

[Juvenile Bluster]

Will it crash into the debate hall? Because that would really be the best scenario for everyone.

[Almanian - Micro Trumper]

+2 towers

[Hyperion]

For the next round: Carly and the Donald in a caged death match!

[Crusty Juggler]

Ronald Reagan doesn't care!

[Almanian - Micro Trumper]

The important this is "who loses tonight's 'debate'?"

I think we all know - America loses. AMERICA. Loses.

[Almanian - Micro Trumper]

"thing is"

Jesus fucking Christ already

[Hyperion]

Jesus had an edit feature.

[R C Dean]

I thought he just respawned.

[Hyperion]

He used his edit feature to respawn, duh!

[R C Dean]

Should have seen that. He has god/admin level access, so of course.

[Hyperion]

Rand of course. He's only polling at 2% you rat fucking bea taggers!

[GILMORE?]

""Join us as we livetweet "

I'm really looking forward to when people invent "Deathtweeting"

[Hyperion]

The death of twitter sounds like a giant leap forward for mankind to me.

[Almanian - Micro Trumper]

*Pokes Hyperion - realizes that's FB - doesn't care - pulls up more LolCats pics*

[Hyperion]

Summon the aparatus, I need two smileys and a *lol*!

[Kristen Bids No Trump]

I always love the reason live Twatter events, but I think it would be great for you all to include former reasonsers like Balko or 2Chilly and maybe some reason-adjacent folks like Kennedy. I found the last live Twatter event to be a little stolid.

[Hyperion]

I just love to come here and watch the posts while it's going down.

"Ohh, gawd Rand, that was awful! Ugh, that was cringe worthy, Rand! Oh, Rand just really blew that one!, OMG, Rand..."

[Kristen Bids No Trump]

Well, that's what I do. I don't actually watch the debate in tandem - I just read the Tweets. In the past, I have howled with laughter. The last debate's live Twatter was meh in the humor department.

[Hyperion]

Might be more entertaining tonight with the addition of the aggressive fembot. She'll probably attack Trump and try to pull that squirrel off his head, and then be growling and chewing on his leg when they drag her off the stage.

[Kristen Bids No Trump]

She is waaaaayyy to calm & cool for that. She'll stand smirking by her podium while Trump is dragged away, foaming at the mouth.

She's an ice queen (in my world, that's a great compliment).

[Hyperion]

Carly: *smirking*

The Donald: I'll smack that smirk right off your horse face!

Carly: *still smirking* You can't fire me! What's that thing on your head?

The Donald: *Running across stage in furious rage*

Stay tuned for rest...

[Kristen Bids No Trump]

Pretty much!

I would buy PPV for that shit!

[Hyperion]

Unfortunately, our politicians aren't as fun as some in Europe:

SMACK DOWN!

[lap83]

She's an ice queen (in my world, that's a great compliment).

Agreed. Trump by contrast often seems to be seconds from a heart attack. Why is that supposed to be appealing?

[Citizen X]

Join us as

No thanks.

[Hyperion]

You're all towels!

I have no idea what that means, I just thought it was time for me to say it...

[Citizen X]

Wanna get high?

[Almanian - Micro Trumper]

I have no idea what's goin' on...

[Hyperion]

How?, AC has hoarded up all the good drugs.

[Thomas515]
