This broke late in the day Friday, but I was already drunk by that point. However, like a decent, responsible human being; I do all my drinking safely at home, by myself and from the spigot of a box of wine. Sure, maybe I have "no friends" and a "slight drinking problem," but at least I'm not out there putting lives at risk. Hope it was worth it, asshole!
Just being the English degree geek that I am, it's actually spelled "just deserts." See http://www.snopes.com/language/notthink/deserts.asp

Isn't Desert something full of sand, that you cross and nearly die from dehydration? Like the Sahara Desert?
It's deserts as in something deserved not as in the sandy regions. It's not desserts as in an after-dinner treat.
