alcohol

Best thing I’ve read that someone else blogged because they read it in another blog’s comments in a long time:

“Call me enlightened but I don’t care what a woman looks like as long as she has big boobs and owns a liquor store.“

I found a great feature at the New Scientist on alcohol:

Everything you ever wanted to know about the stuff but were too drunk to ask.

I have to be honest with you. I really, really like a tall Bloody Mary.

• Salt and Pepper, please.
• Lot of ice.
• One shot of Tabasco.
• Celery.
• Green olive.

Thanks.

Alcohol - Barenaked Ladies

Dr. Tedd Goldfinger, a cardiologist in Tucson, Arizona, says alcohol can decrease the tendency of blood to clot and cause heart attacks, and raise good cholesterol levels.” But, “you don’t have to go out and spend $20 or $30 on a bottle of wine.” He said a cheaper one will do.
Mmmm … good ol’ Mad Dog 20/20 …

Determine Your Social Class Based on What You Drink

In a battle like that, I’ll root for beer every time. Keep up the good fight, Dan.

At some point last night I managed to fall from the railing at Four Green Fields. In the photo on the page, you can see an Irish flag all the way on the right side. That’s right where I fell.

Parties have a way of supplying me with a comical assortment of stuff. In addition to the cell phone AC power cord, I have also found one of Jorge’s oldest t-shirts, a blue Nike t-shirt, about $40 in cash, a bottle of Visine, an unopened (thankfully!) bottle of tequila, some 200 empty Budweiser bottles, 20 empty Bud Light bottles, one empty Jim Beam bottle, one full Jim Beam bottle, a full bottle of Canada Dry, two missing packages of Chips Ahoy, and the knowledge that I have the best friends in the world. Even if they do sometimes leave a bagel on a bookshelf or mixed drinks on the dresser. I’m just wondering when I’m going to get around to taking down the badminton net …

It really depends on how you define “moderate“, doesn’t it?

So I’m wondering to myself, “Where am I ever gonna find a penis and vagina sake set?” Thanks, Jason!

I time bomb

When I went to LA in June of ‘99, Jorge and I bought a few 20-packs of Budweiser longnecks. I was surprised to see the 20-pack boxes out there. I had never seen them anywhere outside of New England. They are pretty economical; a 20-pack is around $12 while a 12-pack is $8.50. The case is nifty too, because it is a good old-fashioned sturdy box that has a million uses. I had forgotten about them until I went to LA again in April. Again I was impressed by the savings the 20-packs offered and wondered why Gainesville, where the beer consumption per capita is much higher than Los Angeles, didn’t sell them. Then, in a move obviously designed specifically to upset me, the Anheuser Busch distributor in Gainesville decided to start stocking these 20-packs one week before I left town. That, my friend, is irony. Dontcha think?
