Took my parents out to dinner (Mexican) and the Marg was the strongest it's ever been. And, that's saying a lot cause their Margs are usually quite strong. So, of course, I followed it up w/ a couple beers from home.

Pretty relaxing night... :-)

I'm not leaving. Even if I get voted off the island, I will come back and haunt you all as the "ghost of spock".

Leave!? Why would I want to do that? I finally found people crazy enough to make me look normal.

Tara, that's funny, 'cause this last wkend I did something similar to your Marg incident. I have a head cold, but I thought I'd have a drink w/ my sis anyway. Pretty soon I'd gone right past the cold and I felt great. I figure it's just like cough medicine anyway.

LOL! Seriously, I'm not a lush.

Normal is relative? I've met my relatives; I guess this means I don't have a chance at the normal thing.

While drinking is the best time to leave TT. I have more than a few evenings that I had no business posting. The only thing worse than saying something stupid while drunk is writing something stupid drunk and having it set in stone! LOL!

Chili, that's cause the alcohol kills off the dumber more susceptible brain cells.

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo, and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole is maintained or even improved by the regular culling of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells through which the electrical signals pass. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that while excessive intake of alcohol kills off brain cells, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.

Thus, regular consumption of beer helps eliminate the weaker cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. The result of this in-depth study verifies and validates the causal link between all-weekend parties and job related performance.

It also explains why, after a few short years of leaving a university and getting married, most professionals cannot keep up with the performance of the new graduates.

Only those few that stick to the strict regimen of voracious alcoholic consumption can maintain the intellectual levels that they achieve during their college years.

So, this is a call to arms. As our country is losing its technological edge, we must not shudder in our homes. Get back into the bars. Quaff that pint. Your company and country need you to be at your peak, and you shouldn't deny yourself the career that you could have.

Take life by the bottle and be all that you can be.

I seem to remember something about a Red Bull ad that went like this:

Red Bull, you don't drink it for the taste.

My favorite mixed drink is Macallan mixed with nothing.

Most Unusual Drinks
(in no particular order, from the bartenders' forum at webtender.com)

Tequila Martini
Guinness with a raw egg.
Remy Martin and Sprite
Bloody Mary (blended)
Par 6 (Cutty, Makers Mark, Jager, Goldschlager, Yukon Jack, and Ouzo)
Draught beer with orange juice
Salty Dog with no salt (aka a 'greyhound'), garnished with two olives
Baileys, Vodka, Malibu Rum and Tequilla
Red Wine and Coke
Red Wine and Coke with Blackcurrant cordial (apparently quite popular
in the Basque region of France, it is known as "Kalimotxo"
(cal-ee-MO-cho))
Retsina and Coke
Gin and Milk
Skinny Pimp (a shot of tequila with a spoonful of mayo)
Pina-co-Lager (Budweiser, pineapple juice and Coke on the rocks)
Harvey Whittaker (Gin, ice, a live mouse and two cigarette butts)
Green Death (Lager and Creme de Menthe)
Diesel (Snakebite and Blackcurrant)
snakey b is also known as purple death...it's also very, very foolish
because the lager and cider ferment and increase the alcohol levels
Pint of Lager with a pint of ice
Red Wine in a highball with ice and tap water
White Wine and Orange Juice
Goldschlager and Apple Juice
Whitley (12 shots of Tequila, 4 cans of Red Bull and a litre of Cranberry
Juice)
Hennessy XO and Coke, over ice, in a coliins with a slice of lemon


I thought Couvoisier & Coke was bad enough. I can't imagine anyone
doing that to XO!

According to the search engine at webtender.com, Red Bull, vodka and champagne combined produce something called a "Liquid Cocaine #7".

Was it mixed in a champagne flute?

This guy walks into a bar and two steps in, he realizes it's a gay bar. "But what the heck," he says, "I really want a drink."

When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the customer, "What's the name of your #&%!$?"

The customer says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink."

The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your #&%!$. Mine for instance is called 'Nike,' for the slogan, 'Just Do It.' That guy down at the end of the bar calls his 'Snickers,' because 'It really Satisfies."

The customer looks dumbfounded so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over. The customer asks the man sitting to his left, who is sipping on a beer, "Hey bud, what's the name of your #&%!$?"

The man looks back and says with a smile, "TIMEX."

The thirsty customer asks, "Why Timex?"

The fella proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin!"

A little shaken, the customer turns to the fella on his right, who is sipping a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you call your #&%!$?"

The man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD, because 'Quality is Job 1.' " Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford, lately?"

Even more shaken, the customer has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his #&%!$. Finally, he turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my #&%!$ is 'Secret.' Now give me my beer."

The bartender begins to pour the customer a beer, but with a puzzled look asks, "Why secret?"

The customer says, "Because it's STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN, BUT MADE FOR A WOMAN!"
