I have a wonderful collection of spirits and a ton of strange instruments at home. So well have a drink and then we jam a bit.

I also might have some acid laying around if you are down for some weirder tunes.

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

ancient spirits or liquid spirits?

[–] godfish@lemy.lol 1 points 3 days ago

Since last month only liquid...

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 9 points 6 days ago

Depends, probably I'm going to pretend to not be home and not answer my phone.

But if you're someone I like, I might force you to learn the rules to French Tarot and play that. Or another trick taking game like hearts or spades. Assuming my brother is also home and we have a 3rd player.

There's also always music, movies, tv shows, et cetera.

We could crochet.

If you're gay we could probably have sex. I'm normally down to clown.

We could play fetch with the dogs.

If all else fails you can play games on the Xbox while I read.

But really, if you're just showing the hell up with 10 minutes of warning you need to be the one with a plan here. Otherwise I'm probably going to just keep doing what I normally do and you can join in if you want.

I didn't realise it was "French" tarot, we just call it tarot, lol. That said it was more a game my parents would play, I don't really know the rules myself.

I have a cat that refuses to shut up. Ask him anything, he will scream at you. He will only stop if you ask him about Israel. Sometimes.

Ask you to help carry my old stove out to the curb and see if you want to troubleshooot some wiring

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

What happened? Is it the wiring in the wall, I assume not the stove because you didn't say to troubleshoot the wiring before the curb

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 4 points 5 days ago (6 children)

This is my kind of afternoon

Swapping gas stove for induction. It was a bit delayed because they screwed up capping the gas line, so new install on new circuit. I plugged it in and nothing happened.

It could be as simple as the breaker is off or there’s some sort of power button on the new stove. I got as far as plugging it in and nothing lit up, then already ran out of time. If it’s something that simple, we get to the beer sooner

I'll bring a couple volt meters and a couple gallons of mead.... Kroger had a stupid sale on honey so I had them drop ship 15lbs to my house and didn't know what to do with it.

12oz bottles are 4.99, 24oz bottles are $2.32... so I just said ship 10... And they delivered the next day for $.95 cents. Can't say I've ever had something delivered and saved money before

I will leave you in suspense on if I will open the door.

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 5 points 5 days ago

I'm sick, so we're watcbing Hollow Knight streams.

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You have a choice. We can watch Ninja Turtles, read Ninja Turtles, or play Ninja Turtles.

that's not enough warning time and I didn't get the message, so you'll be entertaining yourself watching the dogs in the window as I ignore the doorbell

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Boring standard screen-based stuff. I could dig out a board game if you really want, I guess.

Maybe you'll like my dog?

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago (4 children)

You can watch me practice and fuck up the same riff for 3 hours straight if you want

Gotchu Bro/Sister:

Wife's already got Fellowship of the Ring Extended (of COURSE) ultraHD in the player.

I'll pop us some popcorn, and gladly point out all the fun trivia, like how when Aragorn kicks the helmet in Two Towers it was so legit because the actor ACTUALLY BROKE HIS TOE.

Why did I mention Two Towers when Fellowship is in the player? Heh. . .you didn't think we were stopping after Fellowship, did you?

The doors are already locked and planned bathroom / snack retrieval breaks are posted on the wall.

I mean I might still be jacking off so that'll probably do it

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Mario Tennis on the N64. Sorry though, we'll need to play the clay court, as my HDMI adapter for the VGA washes all the colours and makes the ball hard to see on grass.

[–] Hasherm0n@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

We're BBQing! I've got a couple of nice tritips and some some sausages from the local butcher, freshly harvested corn from a local farm, and I'll make some garlic bread. I've got a few beers from my favorite local brewery, an unopened bottle of eagle rare 10 year, and can break out a couple of nice cigars if you're in to that.

The temperature on my back patio is a nice, comfortable 77f with low humidity and just enough of a breeze.

I will show you my cat. After, I'll show pics of my cat. I have some boardgames, if we start to play, the cat will come so we pet him.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

Noir movies and mst3k. Although I did get the supernintendo working recently

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wanna rip bongs and watch me play Final Fantasy Tactics?

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I'm not sure if you intended that to be foreplay or not, but my pants are coming off now.
