Irish Car Bomb: The cocktail was invented in the US in 1979 in Wilson's Saloon in Norwich, Connecticut by Charles Burke Cronin Oat. He had originally created a mixed shot drink called a Grandfather combining Baileys Irish Cream and Kahlúa. On 17 March 1977 (Saint Patrick's Day), he added Jameson Irish Whiskey to the drink, calling this drink "the IRA." In 1979, Oat spontaneously dropped this shot into a partially-drunk Guinness, calling the result a Belfast Carbomb or Irish Carbomb. [source: Wikipedia]
The 300! Wasn't that a horrible CGI gladiator movie. 24:00 DLS, with feeling, explaining why the Eddie is special. Excellent. 48:00 Disagree with Chas who is always thinking in absolutes. It depends, on lots of things. Is the party BYOB? If the wine is your gift to the hosts, don't take it back. What's your relationship with the hosts, what are other guests doing? People here will show up with their own little mini coolers. Just like so much of life, it depends on the situation, the intention, and the relationships. I'll grab two or three beers on my way out so I don't have to buy some going home, but that would be after I brought more to the party than I drank, and if there's lots of beer still, and if I know the hosts well enough, etc... Chas doesn't need to live like this, planning out sneaky victories and imagining hidden battles. Class move might be to take the bottle as you say your goodbyes and tell the hosts you'd like to leave it with them if it's a wine they're interested in trying it, but don't want this excellent wine to just get lost in the bottle field of the late night party table. 52:30 Chas giving horrible advice. Deny, deny, deny? What if the host saw you grab your bottle and walk out. How's she going to think about your denial going forward. Or after your denial the host is confused and so reviews the security cams and sees what you did. That would be a dealbreaker in any relationship in a way that taking ones own wine home when you leave would never be. Sometimes it's not the crime, it's the cover up, Chas. Chopsticks would work great for french fries and gravy or a poutine, better than spoon or fork, imo.
There's a well known UA-camr named Johnny Harris who loves Doritos and he uses chopsticks to eat them because he can keep working/typing/writing with clean hands. I find that very reasonable.
@@SurfSplendor The chinese put the fried rice in the bowl, hold the bowl to their lips, and use the chopsticks to push the rice into their mouths. There's no perilous journey across table and lap. Where I live they say food tastes better if you eat it with your hands and they might give a foreigner a fork instead of the usual spoon to show they know our customs. Chopsticks wouldn't work well for inuit people; in that sense it's more civilized than knife and fork, the food has adapted, surrendered, itself to the eating utensil.

Thanks! Makes total sense.

@@SurfSplendor In Japan I saw a women cleaning her gutter (sticks and leaves), in front of her house, with large chopsticks.
Chas hair looks terrible!
There's no defending it. His hair looks great on his Chas Smith Hates Surfing episodes, so it is achievable. But you're right, terrible.
