I've said it before and I'll say it again: Liquor and firearms go great together.

pleasanter? Is that a word?

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

Sure it is! So is "velveted." They're both perfectly cromulent words.

There is dispute about that; the trend is toward more inflectional (-er/-est) endings, regardless.

I was having the same thought. "Let's get drunk and fondle guns!"

Is your icon from one of the Archie and Mahitabel books?

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is!

What could possibly go wrong?

Succinct.

Suicide is painless.

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

And none of that "Please drink responsibly" crapola here!

Well, at least they don't have him actually drinking the stuff while he's cleaning the guns.

Ernest Hemmingway approves!

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Ernest Hemingway had only one em in his name.

Help the war effort: stay home and drink!

Alrighty then!

Caption: So that's what they mean by Ancient Pistol.

He looks a little too happy playing with his gun

That's beautiful art work. In the grammar I learned (and teach), generally a word that's more than one syllable would not have "er" added. Rather, "more pleasant" would be the correct way. "Pleasanter" just sounds wrong!

Manhattans and muzzle-loaders sounds like a fun evening to me.

Drinking and cleaning guns... It's always fun until someone shoots their mouth off.
