The Drinking Thread

“Trader Joes has 2 buck chuck (Charles Shaw wines). A pretty good red wine for 2 and some change.”

“I'm telling you try Swedka!! It's cheaper than cheap, and filtered 5 times. It scored one lousey point less than grey goose and it's sooooo good. $19.99 for a fifth.”


uhhhhh sass - Gilbey's is 11.99 for 1.75 Litres. I think I "win"”

“I've heard the TJ's vodka is really good.

Opinions?

I've been drinking quite a bit of the TJ's unfiltered wheat bear. With a lemon, it is the summertime refresah!”

“"Presto-chango, by-jingo, get going projector."

50 years ago”

“someone cut HOI off.”

“i just finished lunch. I think I deserve a whiskey.

Cheers!”

“Stop it! Your making me thirsty”

“uhhhhh sass - Gilbey's is 11.99 for 1.75 Litres. I think I "win".

I'm going to need to hear about your states liquor taxes before I accept that. ;)
When we finally hike/drink together we'll do a taste test.”

“Tax is maybe 10%. But when the cashier rank up my 1.75 of gin and my 1.75 of bourbon, the total came to 22 and change.

Taste test? I'd lose with that crap. When I meet y'all I'll at least bring Makers Mark and maybe some Tanquery.

;)”

“I'm told I need to check in here?

I don't know why....”

“You're in good hands, MsD.”

“When are Bearmag's friends going to step up and circle the chairs with him?

"Bearmag, we have a van outside, running to take you somewhere where you can get help..."

LOL!”

We don't mind drinking while standing. The van is for a bar hopping road trip.”

““You're in good hands, MsD.”

I've been given that line before. :o”

“Off to pick up Drunf=erst supplies

Why are we not being graced with your attendance, o' magnet of bears? Shame on you!”

“Ah GM. I would love to go. I wanted to go. I #&%!$ing need to go. Especially since I had to bail on a recent WV trip. But I have a Bone Marrow Biopsy this Friday.”

“Wish I could go too! I will be thinking of the drunks in PA as I am doing the same Fri and Sat nights.”

“You will be missed.”

“Hopefully I'll get to a drunkerfest by the end of summer?”

“Make your own, my friend :) They will come.”

“lol... no doubt. It's kind a "Field of Dreams" thing. ;)

And you will definitely be missed this weekend, Phil.”

“Breaking out the good stuff. Got a job. Makers anyone?”

“I'll have a Shirley Temple.”

“no, but how about a tequila sunset?


Congrats on the job!”

“does O'duls make Shirely Temples?”

“I'll make you an ST if you're dressed like her. Or like a schoolgirl.”

“OMG, perv!!”

“bm a perv???? why, thats front page news!!”

“I thought it was a sunrise.

Or is a 'sunset' just orange and grenadine?


What's in a Shirley Temple Black?

Johnny Walker Black Label?”

“Sunset:

* 1 oz Tequila
* Orange juice
* 1/2 oz Blackberry brandy
* 1 Cherry

Sunrise:

* 2 measures Tequila
* Orange juice
* 2 dashes Grenadine”

“I like my cherry. I have to have my cherry :)”

“Hope your flexible”

“Who?”

“SC - she wants her cherry”

“OMG...ya'll perverts! I'm talking about my drink!”

“Yoga Good.”

“And this just in:

...So there may actually be a longer delay in this process then I realized this morning. So I just wanted to check-in with you and give you a revised timeline.

So let's actual touch base early next week about next steps and scheduling.

My boss ********, wants to meet you as well. Apparently, we have received the directive that we need to have folks go through the formal 3 step interview process. So, that would require having you interviewed by her as well. She will be back in town in a couple of weeks.

Sorry for this note relaying a bigger delay and more steps in the process then what I envisioned this morning. So let's aim for touching base next week.

Again, I apologize. Sometimes the red tape gets in the way."







Back to the cheap whiskey.”

“That's not a real drink.  Some bar back at TGI Friday's made that up last week.  He should-a adjusted his flare instead!”

“Sorry --- drinks first --- PRIORITIES, Man!


Hope they don't screw the pooch!!  That False Start crap bites.”

“Only time it's ever happened to me. I need this job like I need....alcohol. And maybe food. My potential boss is a mutual friend - SO of one of my Wife's co-worker. It's 3 blocks from our apt and I could work from home...with very flexible hours.

At leaset I have my hea......life....?

Bottoms up!


And no drink with 3 or more ingredients is a real drink. Except an LI Ice Tea.”

“I just read where it says that men without hair on their chests are more likely to get cirrhosis of the liver, so therefore I presume that means men are meant to drink that which is strong enough to put hair on their chest! :)”

“Two-fer Tuesday at the ballpark tonight. It doesn't bring out the animals quite like Thirsty Thursday, but Hey ----”

“Mission accomflished.”

“what kind of beer?”

“I triedn my best to save the world fromm crappy beer.... But I left some for you guys.

Buttweiper!

That Sammy Smith is going to taste like #&%!$ing nectar from th gods --”

“BM's mixin drinks? I'll have one! :)”

“gotta love Single A Baseball

40 fl. oz for 4.25 (2 for 1)... evenn if it iz buttweiper --”

“hope it was cheap as hell.

OK. One more than it's self serve. Just don't ask for.....”

“what;s it to be then... Ladies, Gemtlemen and Others?

Nut Brown Ale or some Moldy rum?

Or Godiva liquer in the fridge if you're ready for desert --- a shot of that arf'n'arf with ketel one is tasty. But not as a preclusion to the brown ale -0-”

“Nut brown, but save me some of the Godiva! :)”

“Nun of the Above! (ha)

You may know it as a Lemon Drop, but when we discovered them they were called 'Penetrators':

Lemon, quartered, with toothpicks stuck in the rind as 'handles'
Absolut Citron, from the freezer (buried in the bottom of a cooler when camping)
Shot glasses, also chilled
Sugar, refined or not

Swipe lemon around lip of shot glass
Coat rim with sugar
Fill with cold vodka
Coat sides of lemon quarter with sugar, using aforementioned 'handle'

Lick sugar from rim
Shoot vodka
Chase with sugar-coated lemon


So it's like lemonade you make in your mouth --- with a kick.


TURRIBLE stuff!  Just turrible.

And I Just Happened to have all the stuff to make it downstairs.... And it's kindof a hassle to go through all that just to make ONE... < G >”
