Hmmm?

I don’t deny reality. This thread is here. That’s an immutable fact.

But what about the other thread you created?

Poor little mite. Abandoned in it’s infancy.

Did you shoot the Garden and the alcohol?

Shoot squared?

[Mr. Chatywin et al.]

I used to shoot the pedals off of flowers in my mom's garden as a kid, so the two can go together.

Gooood. Goood.

 

Now help me blow up these enemy vehicles!

Edit: Honestly, I'm running out of options here.

Woooooo!

My Dad’s neighbor was out of town and gave him his box seats to the WVU game. Good time hanging out, even though the game was never serious.

Who the hell decided it was a good idea to make a state out of a Mountain?

No wonder Manchin is such a dick. I’d be angry if I had I had to live here too.

 

That deer is lucky it knew how to dodge. (No, I wasn’t driving) 

Edit: I saw what I did. I’m not fixing it.

People who didn't want to the leave the Union and go to war to expand slavery.

Those people, however, died out and now what's left are jerkwaddies as dim-witted as those from whom the originators sought to escape.

This is the drunk thread. 
 

That wasn’t a real question.

But why not?

Apologies!  Historians also go where booze goes though --

No apology necessary.

It was the Great North Run today (which is a half marathon held every year up here, 2020 excepted) and had the realisation that my drunken weekend had also resulted in me drunkenly sponsoring someone. Oh well, there's worse things I could have done!

I also ended up going for mid-week drinks because a trainee from London had come up to work with our team and see what we do and well, Thursday was a bit rough after that.

That will likely be all for a while though. I like to take breaks after a bit of excess so I know I can

Currently getting my ass kicked at Parcheesi by my stepmother.

What you gonna do?

I've found my favorite old fashioned recipe.

2oz Early Times Bottled in Bond
.5oz demerara simple syrup
2 dashes 18.21 Havana & Hide Barrel Aged Bitters

Add it all to a pint glass, add a handful of ice, stir for about twenty seconds, then strain into a rocks glass with a giant ice cube.  Garnish with an orange peel that you express over the glass and run around the rim of the glass and a cocktail cherry.  I prefer Luxardo.

Early Times is a truly great purchase.  A liter of pretty good bourbon for around twenty-five bucks.  It's perfectly drinkable neat.  Not spectacular, but nothing is at that price point.  It stacks up nicely against similarly priced bottles, though, and meshes nicely in a cocktail.

I highly recommend the 18.21 bitters if you like Wild Turkey / Russell's Reserve bourbons.  It adds some nice leather and tobacco notes to the cocktail that I really enjoy.  I've tried using Wild Turkey 101 in my old fashioneds, but for whatever reason I just don't like it as much as the Early Times version, even with different types of bitters.

First world existential crisis: pouring yourself a shot of gin for a gin and tonic, only to discover you don’t have any tonic.

Trust me, gin and ginger ale is ugly.

You have tonics? You must be a witch!

Burn her!

Do you weigh the same as a duck?

First, ditch the gin.

Second, if not, wrap your beak around that shot glass and cock your head back, rookie.

I just realized I have an unopened bottle of Red Vermouth. Damn, a missed opportunity. Gin and vermouth is lovely!

But you want tonics.

Don’t think I’ll be fooled by your witch powers!

(Meaning yes, I read that wrong. I blame the schools)
