Enjoy your affair with brandy
I hear she’s a fine girl.
What a good wife she would be.
Such a fine girl
She's not great looking, but more importantly she gives handjobs for $10.

Brandy is what you get when you distill wine.
I hope you enjoy your evening affairs, Mr. Bringsteen.
At 11 am? Don't mind if I do!
If I remember right, it doesn't just have to be grape wine either. Although if you want to make cognac (a type of brandy), it has to be grape wine.
*And from a specific region of France that a specific variety of grape grows
It's probably more accurate to say that it's made from a fruit base than to say it's distilled from wine, (as opposed to a grain base like whiskeys, a lot of vodka, gin, etc)
Because there's things like Italian Grappa, which is a pomace brandy, which, if the name weren't obvious, is made from pomace, which is the solid leftovers from after you press grapes for wine. I suppose there's an argument that when you ferment it before distillation it could still be considered a wine, but probably not one you'd want to drink.
Then you have Applejack, which is a brandy (though not usually marketed as such) made from apples. When you press and ferment apple juice, you'd normally call it a cider, not a wine. Sort of splitting hairs a little, it's all fermented fruit juice, but such is life.
I've seen the French term "eau de vie" borrowed in English to describe brandies made from fruits other than grapes, which I think is useful to distinguish between brandies that are distilled from a certain kind of fruit and the various "[fruit]-flavored brandies" that are out there that are usually regular grape brandy with fruit flavor added. I have a bottle of Applejack and a bottle of apple flavored brandy in my home bar, they're not really interchangeable
Side note, in French "eau de vie" I believe is used as a more general term for liquor, not specifically brandies. Also a lot of liquors when you trace the origins of the names share similar "water of life" etymology, whiskey comes from the Gaelic "uisqe beatha" (spelling varies depending on if we're talking Irish or Scots Gaelic) meaning the same, Scandinavian Akvavit (again spelling varies,) "Vodka" pretty famously pretty famously basically means water (really it's a diminutive form of water) probably coming from the same sort of origin, and a lot of it goes back to the Latin "Aqua Vitae"
it doesn't just have to be grape wine either
People in my country make hard spirits out of various fruits, but mostly plums, and in English those are being translated as fruit brandy.
Although if you want to make cognac (a type of brandy), it has to be grape wine.
Cognac, like Champagne, is about where it's made, not just the recipe. I has to be made out of specific varieties of grapes harvested and fermented in the Cognac area in France. You can import the same grapes and follow the same recipe, but you're not allowed to name it Cognac if you made it outside that area.
Go attend your evening affairs, god damnit!
No, Brandy is the dog that got stranded in the jungle with Mr Whiskers
"I must attend to my evening affairs"
>proceeds to watch anime for 6 hours on a Tuesday night and go to sleep at 4 am
Hell yeah
Sounds like you're heading to either an orgy or beat up a guy tied to a chair in the basement tbh
Always keep them guessing, afraid, and a little horny.
Exactly as intended?
¿Por Qué No Los Dos?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I need more of these. Assist me in adjusting my vernacular until I sound like someone who reads books good
For me it’s usually, “Is tim 4 slep naow”. What does that make me?
when I'm in my group chat, I leave with a 'it's eepy mode time'
A millennial, I think.
And what if I say:
im so eepy weepy uwu imma go beddy weddy ~
"I must regenerate, I'll be in my alcove."
I feel sorry for the people who don't pass out immediately after getting into bed.
Why are you commenting fiction to raise false hope? ;-;
He feels compassion for entire humanity. He might be the chosen one
Ty.
Im not happy that you even brought it up, so also fuck you a bit.
(Also cumskins did nothing wrong!)
Sometimes I'll have a coffee before bed and then sleep for 10 hours.
Oh, this I understand.
The added focus calms the brain noise down. Which is relaxing & happy-chemicals producing.
2017 was a good year for memes
2017 was a good year for videogames, too
Crash trilogy remaster, Hat in Time, LiS: BtS, Wolfenstein TNC, Gravity Rush 2, Senua and just a year before that Forza Horizon 3, Stellaris, Hitman, No Man's Sky and The Last Guardian. What a time.
Tip of the iceberg, too.
There's also Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Prey, Divinity Original Sin II, Persona 5, Undertale, Nier Automata, Cubhead, Fortnite, PuBG, Hollow Knight, Destiny 2... And more.
It's pretty crazy
how do you remember so far back
I noticed recently that a lot of the games I play came out in '17.

My kids don't even fight "evening affair time"
Brandy is just wine that sucks.
Wine is just brandy that isn't finished yet.
