Seriously, how does one human being manage to drink that much?
Practice.
Seriously. To carry that level of alcohol in the blood and still be able to function, at all, is the sign of a maintenance alcoholic. When tested at the station she was 3x the legal limit (.23 I think) and was likely much higher before she was stopped.
That must be the case. If I practiced I might be able to get to a second beer or shot, but I hate to think of the price I would pay the next day. What must her liver and brain be like at this late date?
Who am I kidding - she's a democrat - brains got nothin' to do with it!
Gallons and gallons of vodka consumed over the years - I think we have evidence that it does not render the drinker beautiful, just sayin'...
I am answering sincerely as if this is a real question about typeface. Please just shoot me if I'm wrong, because I do need to be stopped.
On Mac I use its character viewer. ON pc I use its character map.
Alternately, you can copy/paste any character where you see one.
Search Ciroc, look at the list of results with Cîroc select î copy/paste into a new document.
Here's the thing. Most times it will copy/paste in the typeface used on the page you selected and not in the typeface you are using in your document. This here dialogue box is an exception to that general rule. To avoid that you can usually tell your editor to change what you pasted into plain text then copy/paste that into your final document. I do this all the time right here on comonocreerendios-lem.blogspot. I open a a separate simple text editor, paste paragraphs into it, tell the editor to make it simple text to get rid of its specific typeface, copy that, then past into a post here on comonocreerendios-lem.blogspot.
(the alternative to that is copy/paste all kind of goofy typefaces then select the whole thing and tell comonocreerendios-lem.blogspot's own editor to make the whole thing default. You guys complained about that, remember? And this was very hurtful and left a lasting damaging impression upon my tender psychology resulting is becoming timorous, timid, intimidated, frightened and nervous about posting.
^^^ Kidding.
Alternately, search [html latin entities] & icirc; (shown with a space) î (same thing without space)
The way to remember these is this, all characters code begin with "&" and end in semicolon ";"
So, "&something;" and that configuration tells the editor such as this here dialogue box to make it a character.
In this case the character is an "i" + "circ," short for "circumflex," therefore the code is"
& + i + circ (circumflex) + ;
î
Viola! I mean Voila!
And this same idea is behind all the character codes. It is eminently logical, for programmer types are themselves very logical indeed. Bless their hearts.
The curley mark under a "c" to make it sound like an "s" is called "cedilla," its html code is:
& + c + cedil + ;
try it withtout spaces and + signs and it comes out
ç
The most useful one is acute over e. It code will be
& + e + acute + ;
é
The accent mark going in the opposite direction is called "grave," thus its code for grave over "e" will be
& + e + grave + ;
è
If your letter is capital, then use capital in the code.
AE shoved together is called a digraph or ligature. This is what we call combined symbols in Egyptian hieroglyphics too. Making Egyptian ligatures using computer program can be a tricky bit of biz wax, but fun, because you must size them appropriately. But I digress. For latin html the phrase "lig" is used in the code, thus
& +ae +lig + ;
æ
Same with "oe" shoved together for a common word like oeufs.
& +oe +lig +;
œ
œufs
There is also another code that uses # + some 3 digit number. If you remember numbers more easily than cognitive word abbreviations, then by all means consider the numbered code instead.

I think I had one shot of vodka 40 or 50 years ago - that stuff is nasty.
Noseberry is no doubt happy that I a saved some for her.
How does one pronounce Cîroc? And how do you get the little roof over the "i"?
I am asking for a friend.
I believe it's pronounced like Jacques Chirac.

And that's a facques, Jacques.
Thanks - I'll keep that in mind next time I am ordering a truck load of that poison to bribe a Texas official.
Officially drunk!
No drink for you. lol.
In Rosemary Lehmburg's defense, she she'd just completed one of those bucket of iced vodka challenges for a charity.
No one explained that the liquid was not meant to be ingested, and she didn't want to see it go to waste, so down the hatch!
Seriously, how does one human being manage to drink that much? I cannot imagine consuming that much alcohol, but then again, I do actual work.
Never mind...

Rosemary has had a lot of practice.

She's a democrats, right? Give her a raise, a promotion, and a tour of Eric Holder's office and a ride on the Hillary Presidential Suite express.
If thought Ciroc was Mr. Spocks father?
And how do you get the little roof over the "i"?
Is this a question about typeface?

Here is a chart that lays all this out.
This concludes today's pedantry for the nonce, but don't get me started, or you'll certainly shoot me.

I had a ¥ to do that.
Thanks Chip.
That was very helpful. I've always wondered but have been to lazy to look it up.
