Drinking and trotting.  Huh?

Drinking for drinking's sake.  Happy 50th Bday, Specs!!

"Hey Shteeeve...."

I know this was posted in the past, but, since this is baseball season, I had to post again.  Harry Caray's Diary. 

And I'm going to assume that he didn't consume the contents his props before use.  Fascinating.

Death and Texas

I've never been a big fan of the Bush family, or Texas for that matter, but a conversation w/ the wife Tuesday sounded like this:

She:  Did you hear about Barbara Bush?
He:   (after just checking Google News feed)
        Article 42 minutes ago* says that she's sipping Bourbon.
She:  Article 8 minutes ago says that she's dead.
He.   Oh.

* article has since been updated

"So farewell, my darling.
  Perhaps we'll meet again 
  On some sin-infested street corner

  In Houston, Texas"

Garnish

Generally, cocktail garnish is easy to find.  But at the Sourdough Saloon, the "Sourtoe Cocktail" is a little different.  It's not everyday that the establishment gets some additional backup stock.

"Got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today Life is good today"

Gin Make You Sin!!

Even though everyone has seen this... please don't replicate
(especially after a Thursday night)

Before there were Linkies, there was the "Confessional". Though the technology wasn't there yet, it may have become something like this (w/o the Aussie accents)

Oldest known message in a bottle... a GIN bottle!!!

"Young girls and Gin may be the cure

Went to a place to see all of my friends
One little sip and now look at me

I Love the 80's

(Not necessarily me, but someone does)

41 things only kids that grew up in SF in the 80s (& earlier) knew.

(I plead guilty to most - esp. #11, #16, #18, #23. #29 & #31)

More throw backs.

 And we sang
 You do it this way"

Drone bartenders?  I see bars with 30 ft. ceilings trending...
(this kind of stuff makes my head hurt.)

Thankfully, silence prevails in the most wonderful of ways on Dr. Phil.
