The Lounge needs some loosening - MARTINIS on me!!
Edited on Fri May-13-05 11:49 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Gather round everyone, and let's all chill in the RabrrrrrrDen(tm) on the floor pillows (not THROW pillows!) and listen to some soothing tunes, watch some Star Trek, and/or talk Doaism and the concept of the uncarved block and the reed that bends in the wind, while we ply the night away with Martinis (doubles, since today warrants it!) or other cocktail or mixed drink (within the bounds of civility and tasteful artfulness) or whiskies or armagnacs or cognacs. I'll open the humidor, and let you enjoy the cigar of your choice, or a pipefull of leathery bracing-but-soothing pipe tobacco, if you choose. Bonnie nakeds lasses and laddies shall rub oil in your feet and spray your faces with lemon water mist and laugh and giggle coquettishly as they refill our drinks and keep us happy, moist, and relaxed.

1. No one wants a fuckin' Martini? Christ, I went out and bought
30 cases of gin.

Fine.

I'll sit on the pillow and watch "Spock's Brain" until my eyes implode.

48. That's a long time! I also have plenty fresh organic fruit juices
if you prefer, or any host of fine liquors if gin isn't your thing.

I can stay. A Friend of mine wants me to take her fishing again.

5. You do realize who's doing the pouring, right?
Like Rabrrrrrr would stoop to cheap gin for guests. How utterly declasse that would be.

:P

Only Magellan, Sapphire, Plymouth, Hendricks, Tanqueray Ten, or Citadelle for my guests.

12. That's okay! No harm done - we're all here to relax
so just sit back, and drink your Martini and let the troubles of the world float away like the impermanent meaningless detritus that they are.

16. Did anyone catch the "gin" question on DC Jeopardy?
Al Franken, Olberman (SP?) and the ditzy gal from one of the morning shows failed to answer in the form of a question:

"It's name comes from the (greek? latin? :shrug:) name for juniper, whose berries are an ingredient."

But Al Franken kicked ass. Someone needs to send him a large wheel of Gouda, though.

God, this Martini is awesome. Perfectly dry. And the toe rub is divine.

I've died and gone to moist heaven.....

41. He was a close second
The questions were rather easy ones ( if you watch much of Jeopardy) but he got a few zingers in. (Some gal in the audience had a sign offering marriage to Olbermann according to my daughter).
Franken got both the Daily Doubles so that's what gave him the edge, but Keith was holding his own.

At one point, Olbermann ( thanks for the correct spellingBTW;)) had to hold Franken back from punching out the lights of Alex Trebeck

The category was Women and Franken said, "I don't know anything about women."

"That's what your wife said," Alex replied.

Then Franken got ready to give him a right cross but Kieth stepped in and held him. It was kind of funny.

*slurp*

Drink up!!

But you're giving me your car keys first, and you aren't leaving until you're sober.

Drink up, that's my advice.

21. Wish we could share it in real life!
You really must try one some time. They are God's cocktail. God's drink is, I should imagine, Scotch. But the Martini would be the top cocktail.

27. Yes, I wish we could too
I noticed from your profile that you don't have your location listed. If you lived anywhere near Dayton, Ohio we could hang out and have that martini and you could show me just how to make them. And then I could try to impress you with my beer slobbiness.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Coming from some people, I might consider myself insulted. Coming from you, it could very well be a compliment.

See my post above. Of course I have quality gin!! I would have no other.

You probably think I will the morning Mimosas and Bellinis with Asti Spumante.

For shame, jaredh. For shame.

Now, take off your shoes, slip into the silk robe, take your Martini and go join the others in the common room by the pool and the hottub and relax yourself. The laddies and lassies will be around to refill.

And it's not so much a party as it is a self-reflective, relaxing spa-like soiree. To which you are, of course, most excessively invited to continue to be in.

51. Maybe if you'd said "Please" and hadn't shot the bartender
in the head, you would have been served. I'm sorry, but after you killed the bartender I told the waitstaff to ignore you until you said "please" and also apologized.
