We will prop you up so you can't fall over, here have a shot or two between. 11 minutes ago, -js- said: can you tell that it's a slow day at the office, and that I'm bored?

We will prop you up so you can't fall over, here have a shot or two between. - yeah, sounds vaguely familiar. like we did that to some of our so called friends back in college. or had that done to us. and then have someone walk up, hand us another drink & say something like "here. hold my beer/drink/whatever..." or "here, you look like you need another one of these..." ugh... what I remember, I'll never forget. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really I don't drink much at all, on occasion with others. There is nothing worse than that feeling when you get past that point of a good time, it's downhill fast after that. Strange thing is I can drink anything including crazy amounts of shots, but 4-6 beers and I'm silly, don't know why, and I use to drink beer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The washer fluid comment was just being snarky.....I don't drink many martinis, except when in Hope, but at the same time, I don't subscribe to the belief that once you add a mixer, any vodka will do....that's just not the case in my experience. That's just like saying once you make a margarita, any tequila will fit the bill...no way. I've made 1 martini so far. And yes seemed a little harsh(?) compared to what you and/or @klipsch or @CECAA850 have served me in Hope. But I thought maybe it was just my martini making lack of experience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what Carl might say.....it's not that difficult.....he just wants you to think it is..... As with anything else, good ingredients should make a good product....using good clear ice, rather than tap water ice.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
