I always called it the 'Irish Round'. Buy a drink for everyone who's bought you one plus anyone else you care for. They are then obliged to return the compliment and so it continues.

Yeah that would work.
Years ago I worked as a welder in the North US and worked with gents of all persuasions and we would all go to the pub across the street from the plant and I would end up drinking and buying all flavors of liquors because I worked with Mexicans, Germans, Dutch, etc.. Was an interesting experience!

I always favoured 'buying out'. You drank your fill and then paid the bill when you wanted to leave; early leavers got fracked but those of a stronger disposition generally got by lightly...

Maybe you do, never happened to me.
A bad example was buying a piss, similar rule but you paid to leave the bar, i.e. just go the loo. I've seen £100+ tabs hit before the first one wavered...

I think I passed out drunk once, after a three-legged pub-crawl (well, thirteen-legged if I remember correctly, they were twelve of us ties together IIRC) at university. But I had got back to the girlfriends room first, much to her annoyance.
But guess who carried the razor?

Left Canadian defense minister says space aliens are among us.
Click.[^]
Now I know defense minister from the 60's, but hey, who knows what's going on up north right now, we down south request an intervention from the empire, maybe an investigation or something.

Is that a real site or a satire site? I'm not familiar with abovetopsecret.com
That guy is nuts!
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I saw this on Reddit yesterday, the original interview was on Russia Today. RT is pretty much a pro-Russia propaganda machine, it tends to be pro-Arab also, so was popular with people when I lived over there.
So either he's nuts, or we've had regular visits from aliens, or something else.

I think it may well be a real satire site. If the twat is serious then he needs one of those long jackets with the fetching tie-behind cuffs.

The Canadians may be this very minute may be planning a full scale attack on New Hampshire because they suspect nuclear weapons there, and a blonde haired Sasquatch space alien held in some New Hampshire jail, who knows what they will do half cocked.
Now I know the national guard of New Hampshire can probably handle the combined military of Canada, but why have all that drama, UK must get involved now.

The USA and Canada have only been at war with each other once[^].
Clever observers will note that the USA lost.

Above Top Secret is serious, but it is also the go-to site for conspiracy nutters. Do you remember the TV show The X Files? Mulder and his pals would have visited several times a day. If you look, I am sure you can find "expose reports" that "prove" the Moon landings were hoaxed, that the CIA was behind the 9/11 attacks, and that President Obama is a not-quite human agent of the Greys, programmed to prepare the world for alien invasion.
The scary part is that the people who post such drivel actually believe this.

"He claimed the “tall whites” are working with the U.S. Air Force in Nevada, and that two women from that species had dressed as nuns and went to Las Vegas to shop. "
O.....kay.
Aliens. Nuns. Las Vegas. Shopping.
Sounds like the plot of a pretty poor pr0n film...
Let's be honest, everybody in Vegas acts like either an alien or a terminal shroom addict anyway, so dressing up as a nun to buy stuff is hardly going to be noticed there.

If it has an actual plot it must be above average.

Clearly, my prize of the interwebs was only second prize! 
My word. Someone works with him. Someone lives next door to him. And probably doesn't know... until the media interview and then it's all "he was quiet, and kept himself to himself, and..."

Geez... Mr. ET, a collapsing universe, 4th dimension... My brain hurts.
Some of these people are so pessimistic... I don't know how they sleep at night knowing the the end of humanity (or the universe even) is nearing.

Get to work and systems are not responding. Get email back up and come to find out the server room temperature control died. So they shut down some of the systems and called the repair man. Minus 9 F out and the server room is too hot! We need to put a vent to outside into the room. (I know that would not work for a multitude of reasons.)
So two of my database servers are offline including our failover.
Think I will take a long break.
