What's your poison?

I won't even begin to explain what brought this up, but noticed that what I got from the kitchen or office fridge started to correlate with what I was dealing with inworld, over the years.


So here's mine:

Late-night dealing with residents about land:

~ glass of Chardonnay and crackers, or Cabernet Sauvignon. Cold cuts and other quasi-healthy tasties when I have them, too.


Terraforming and general region creation, infrastructure:

~ absinthe over ice, with a bit of hummus spread over sourdough slices. Okay, kinda strange, but it works. I think the bread blunts the full effect so I can keep rolling like that for a while.


Dealing with new residents, or just general stuff after too many hours of SL:

~ Energy drink and a candy bar for that Prozac-y cheeriness when I would otherwise not have it. Rarely do it, but wow does it work. Coming down off the effects of that right now, actually...


Dealing with Lindens:

~ it's never around when I need it, but I've *always* wished I had one of their give-away Kool-Aide packets from that old marketing push. Consider this a wishlist entry!


Up late dealing with irate oldbies over stuff I can't control anyway:

~ Dark ale and those big, lightly salted pretzels provides the perfect perspective for such times.



What are you chipping on, as you live your Second Life?

I'm a sucker for tortilla chips and fresh salsa. Avoid anything that might leave your fingers greasy, because that messes up the keyboard. Coffee in the mornings, Diet Coke in the evenings.

Yes, yes, yes, sort of - caffeine free coke in the evening, but not diet.

I rarely will munch on anything whilst living my SL. I have been known to keep the bottle of JD beside the computer.

Right now, it's Gibsons Finest, with the mix just down the hall.

Of course, if I happen to be singing karaoke, or just singing privately to my girl, then it's water.

okay, reality is coke in the evening sometimes, but many times it is a few glasses of a shiraz/cab blend

I munch on cheese and crackers or popcorn at the computer all the time -- makes a terrible mess.

A nice white wine with a good balance of acidity and sweetness...like a Reisling or Gewurztraminer for me. If I'm snacking, then some nice Danish Blue Cheese on Triscuit crackers, with some chives or green onions.

Yum.

-Atashi

Preferably Merlot. Red wine furthers creativity.

My current fave: chardonnay with chicken salad and a gourmet chocolate bar.

Scotch

Jack at times- but haven't been drinking much more than water lately. No snacks to speak of.

Omg, you people are so high class my head hurts. My vote: chinese take out.... mmmmm.

Oh and I like beer.... or wine... or any kind of liquor. I guess that was the point of this thread eh? I don't discriminate when it comes to alcohol.

Early morning shift before work -Long glass of hot water with a slice of lemon (how healthy huh>? read onnn ) Followed by several LARGE mugs of black strong coffee and a bowl of scots porridge

Lunchtime coffee, 1 litre of icey cold water

Early evening - 1 litre of water iced, no snacks (I jut dont register what Im eating if im working so its pointless just troughing it in mindlessly?)

Late evening Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Diet redbull (lotsssss) the occasional apple,orange,grapes,cucumber

Pre bed- warm milk (got to settle all that redbull somehow lol)

/me shakes her keyboard upside down to see what is there...

Ewww, you don't wanna know. Nevermind.

When I need the sugar rush for running around the sanboxes and welcome areas: Orange juice. (^_^)

When I need the sugar rush for blitz building: Grape juice. =^-^=

When I need the sugar rush for shopping: Apple juice. >^_^)<

When I need the su....... I guess you can see where I'm going with this. (^_^)y

LMAO - I can soooo relate.

yes, /me loves chinese take out

Coffee in the morning - Pepsi in the evening

As for snacks .. hell whatever i grab while in the kitchen ....

I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti

Ditto. On the rocks. Or a Sam Adams, or the occasonal Shiraz.Snackage is popcorn, real popcorn, not that microwaved garbage with more salt and butter than is recommended. If a non alcoholic beverage is the choice, then it's Coke. Regular Coke. Or one of the Dr Brown's or Stewart's products. I'll take the sugar over the chemicals in diet soda.

Morning is coffee. Black. No sugar.

when teaching someone and they don't know where files go when they download them from the Internet:

A rolling rock and a few slices of my favorite sushi. To keep it light and my head in my happy place.

.

This brings up the related question of how much time does an average SL person spend drunk at their keyboard in SL?

This could be enlightening...

I'll go first an answer both questions with one answer, I don't eat when at the computer, only have drinks and even then only non-alcoholic ones. Never drunk at the keyboard.
Not because I am prudish though, just because I spend my drunk time elsewhere.

What if your victim is drunk?

When on SL, tea.

Morning, noon, night or even late night there is only one poison for me. Cappuchino, not fake cappuchino but the real thing. I have and use the following:

Precision rotary burr grinder

15 barr pump expresso machine with dual heat blocks
with custom, homemade micro-foam attachment

homemade bourbon vanilla syrup

custom mix of 1 part half & half and 3 parts whole milk

local roasted Kenya AA/Jamaican Blue Mountain blend

Mmmmmm, now I am feeling thirsty again, oh wait, what? Oh yes the question! I try not to drink intoxicated people at my keyboard, that falls under the drunk time elsewhere
