Forum Post of the Day: Angry title and coffee with gin

I don't know why I laughed out loud when I read the following quote from Ghostcrawler on a trollish forum post, but I did:
DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO EXERT A CALMING INFLUENCE WHILE NOT ACCIDENTALLY INSULTING ANYONE AND/OR SHOUTING EXPLITIVES AND/OR REVEALING THAT I HAVE GIN IN MY COFFEE MUG.
Yup. Just like that. Caps spam and all. Throw in a "Don't nerf me, bro!" or "To the ground, baby!" at the end of that and you have yourself a real Ghostcrawler statement.
Now this might be some unabashed fanboi-ism on my part, but the question I have after reading that is "What kind of gin do you drink?" I have to imagine Ghostcrawler is the kind of guy who enjoys some top shelf liquor. I'm sure he's making enough at Blizzard to afford it. Perhaps some Tanqueray Rangpur? Or some Anchor Junipero?
Personally I enjoy Bombay Sapphire and the Rangpur, though I've been known to grab some Beefeater if that's all that's available. If Ghostcrawler is reading this, we'd love to know what kind of gin you drink. Feel free to drop us a note on our tip line and we'll update this post.

Bombay Sapphire had me until I found out that it's not REALLY blue!
But wait ... BLUE?
Of COURSE that's what he drinks.

"Gin, though, was blamed for various social and medical problems, and it may have been a factor in the higher death rates which stabilized London's previously growing population."

If you want a blue gin and tonic, just stick a UV light above you!
As its the tonic that fluoresces blue its also a good way to tell if someone's watered down your gin!
For me, Bombay's the every day gin, I keep the Hendrick's for special occasions and visitors!

Gin in the coffee? Hmm. I'm guessing something nice. Personally, I'm not a fan of gin in my coffee-- I prefer butterscotch schnapps, Kahlua, or Bailey's. Or all three.
All three is the best.

Who said there was coffee involved? Just in the mug.

That, sir, is a Buttery Nipple, and it tastes like delicious cake.

Ohhh sweet juniper berry juice of the gods. Sapphire and tonic is awesome sauce.

I wonder how many people have used the link to drop the tip "My favorite gin is Paladin tears".

Was a throwback to a Bash.org quote, I assume.
The users would type actions in all caps as if they were saying them, and created an argument with it.
"NOTATION THAT YOU CREATE A VACUUM."
Unfortunately, Bash.org is apparently broken, so I can't link to it. :(

I was also reminded of the top top entry at bash.org. It has been number one for years.

I personally drink Iceberg Gin.
If i'm not in the mood for Iceberg it'll usually be Gordons.
