Stirred, or the bartender's an eejit.

Yes I am. He's ordering a watered down, uglier drink.
This just might be the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life

Plenty of people like their martinis stirred, it's not up to the bartender. Sure, you're supposed to assume you want it stirred, but if they order it shaken it's not like you're going to tell the customer no.
Question, how many other cocktails do people express a preference for its method of mixing?
Mostly just martinis, but most drinks you automatically shake, especially if it's in a Collins glass. The only other drink I think you would even think about asking for stirred (besides a few coffee drinks) is a Manhattan/Rob Roy, but that would be an amateur request since you're not supposed to shake dark liquor.
I thought the general rule was shake things with fruit juices and stir everything else.
And yeah, Bond's an idiot and people copied him in asking for vodka martinis shaken, not stirred.

Who here knows about the expanded Star Wars universe?
Is there not a bad ass character out there with lightsabers grafted on his armor? I could have swore I read that somewhere and now I cant remember where.
Барбоса;4119167 said:I do find the arguments regarding how Darth Vader was one of the most powerful individuals in the SW Universe rather funny. Sure, he was feared and a dangerous fighter but as with every other show/film/series there is always someone or something stronger.
Even in the realms of Jedi/Sith, Vader is easily surpassed. Check out this dude.

Born Irek Ismaren but later to take on the role of "Lord Nyax," a Corellian boogey-man legend, and long rumoured to be Emperor Palpatine's son (he wasn't), he had similar Force-talents as Anakin Skywalker and became a strong Dark Jedi. However, in training with his master, he let his anger overpower him and his Master was forced to stab him through the head with his lightsabre.
However, despite severe brain damage, he managed to survive and had the added "benefit" of removing virtually all of his memory and mental faculties except for his ability to draw on the Force, which was also greatly enhanced, and monomanical hunger for more power, which he got by accessing the Force Nexus belong the old Jedi Temple on Coruscant (after which he could fly). To achieve this, he demonstrated the ability to project his monomania onto a large group of people so completely that they did nothing else other than want he told them - some would die from exhaustion and lack of food or water rather than stop working.
But as you can see, not only was he a monomanical psychopath with Force powers greater than virtually all, while recouperating from his stabbing, his mother had overseen his conversion from a Dark Jedi into a genetically enhanced killing machine "possessed with immense physical strength, having been medically altered to grow well past a normal human size [and] 8 lightsabers (whcih could not hurt him]... surgically implanted into his body along with sub-dermal armor pads."
It took three Jedi - Grand Master Luke Skywalker, Master Mara Jade Skywalker and Tahiri Veila - a Yuuzahn Vong army and a fleet to bring him down, and even then it is not confirmed that he is dead.
Obviously I mean no disrespect to Kermit who comes across a nice guy, but even though I expected to lose, honestly thought I should've won that one. Not the first time I've sighed and muttered bullshit under my breath, but the most prominent, except when that guy won even though I'd spent the majority of my RP pretending to be Hollis Hicock.
Meh, mayhaps I think I am better than I actually am.
I'm not sure why you lost that match, but the good news is that I don't think it's too much of a bad thing. I realize that it's easy for me to say that on the outside looking in and if I were to lose my match this week I'd be pretty pissed even though it might not be such a bad thing (if New Church also loses), but it looks like S.H.I.T. will be getting a feud with Empire, and possibly specifically Constantine.
I thought it was a bummer that you lost after writing what I took to be one of S.H.I.T.'s more important RPs in his history, but there's a silver lining here.
