"It's hard to beleive I've gone and done it again.
Went to a place to see all of my friends.
One little sip and now look at me.
If this bar were school I'd have a degree."

Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel

I've avoided the easy cop-out of posting ANYTHING from "College Humor". Until now. Yes, it has "jumped the shark", but at least it did it with a wink and a nod.

To cap it all off, my new favorite website. Hi-LARIOUS!!!





























"Yeah, the Starlight Lounge is a happy little place.
A really fun place where you can lose your face.
And all of my friends including me are insane.
It's a little hide-a-way to hide away from the pain."

She Had to Leave....

LOS ANGELES!!!

Yep. Exene wailed that 30 years ago. And I have to leave also, too. But not until Friday.

All of this travel allows me access to the airline magazines that I would NEVER in a million years read. But when one is a captive audience w/ "personal electronics" that are verboten for a fair portion of the flight, I've turned to these monthly publications for solace and companionship on my various journeys. Skymall™, be damned!!!

One theme, that I do admire thought, seems to weave itself once through at least every edition of the United "Hemisphere's" magazine, is one that centers around the joys of alcohol. C'mon. Travel and booze certainly go hand-in-hand. In a recent article, I was regaled with our modern Golden Era of Cocktails, right down to the Bacon-infused Bourbon. Mmmmmmmm.

And a tip for you (relating to last week's "linkeys".... don't order an Old Fashio ed at the upcoming Derby. Just sayin'.

























"They come together
To flirt and to tease
In the dimly lit shade
Under the cocktail trees"

Post Time!!!

Even though I've never lived inside of San Francisco proper, I still, in many ways, consider myself a kind of "Ambassador of Good Cheer" for "our" fine city. Over my lifetime of living (near) and working in the city, I've acquired countless tidbits of trivia about neighborhoods, buildings, landmarks, etc., and freely share them with out-of-town visitors and natives alike.

Even though I attended SF State University (on a 5-year plan), which skirts the "Ingleside Terraces" district, I never knew that it was built on the site of the Ingleside Racetrack (1895 - 1915). Go back to link #1 and check out Urbano Drive, and it all makes sense. I don't even think that Matt "Horseboy" Hegarty, our TNSC Lexington, Kentucky chapter head, knows about this historic equine landmark. And on top of that, I only recently discovered a sundial nested within the neighborhood's confines.

If San Francisco history bores you, there's always Sitting at the Bar to occupy your time. Go nuts.

Yeah... I know that I'm a month early.






























"My drinking days are over,
So let me hear 'Amen'. (AMEN!!)
My drinking days are over,
and over, again."

Tini Tiny

Recently brought to my attention was the evidence of possibly the most horrendous bastardization of a cocktail with "tini" added to it: The McNuggetini™. But if you really need a step-by-step, so be it.

To further enhance your cocktails, chill them with some of these.



























"I live my life on a layer of ice,
Just like those poured by my bartender, "Vice".
Any taste of Vermouth should be really sublime,
When you have a good Martini Time!"
