Hereafter

Before we get to it, though, let's do a quick check-in and see what the folks over at There, I Fixed It are up to. I always love the ingenuity.

Upon my demise, I've always planned on having myself cremated and placed in a cocktail shaker on the mantel for Julie to enjoy for years to come. I'm not sure how much ash I'd generate, so it might have to be 2 shakers worth. That said, I recently ran across this, which is making me rethink my eternal plans. Julie kindly pointed out that it's only a paint job, and would be infinitely cooler if it were made from the real thing. I have to concur.



























"So, when you meet the man With bacon
Watch your back and don't sleep sound
For if he catches you unawakened
He'll serve you fried or ground

And make the world round
He'll make it go round"

Madness!!

That's right! This coming weekend marks the return of Mad Men. In the spirit of it's return (no pun intended) and, in typical commercial fashio , these following links are brought to you by Ms. H Lake:

How to Drink Like a Mad Man.

How to Drink Like a Mad Woman. (va-va-vooom!)

And some "Brick and Mortar" advertising genius.

Thanks, Heather!!













"Dirty, dry, up or in between
From the very first sip you know what I mean
When you're out with a babe you don't nickle or dime
Guessin' that means that it's Martini time!"

DONK

Learned that word from TNSC Member Jay Herda not too long ago. I think it's a "Cleve thing". One needs large wheels for it to be official.

TNSC does not condone drinking & driving, especially in one of these I'm sure you can find a donk, or ten, in here.




















"I'm gonna sue Jack Daniels
For hittin' me
With the trunk of a big old
Live Oak Tree
He hurt me this morning
With the bright sunlight
I'm gonna sue Jack Daniels
For what he did to my face last night!"

Human Pinterest

In case you're looking for a gift idea for some new TNSC parents. Actually, I think it's already been purchased.

Just when I was pondering how truly interesting my life has been, I run across this in one of the trade "e-rags".



















"We're driving Lamborghinis and we're sipping on Martinis
With caviar and blinis but we're spying on bikinis
We're sowing what we're reaping and we're here to set you free
Apocalypse is nearing, won't you tell me how you're feeling?"

"Time Machine

First, we set the dial back to the 50's. It's hard to find an advertisement odder than Borden's "Hemo Milk". Mmmmmm....


Then, just to assault your sensibilities (and lest you forget), let's revisit the 90's in 48 pictures. Ouch.











"Bottle to the left of me
Doorway to the right.
Do I stay or make my way
Into the lonesome night?"

"High Design

I ran across something that resembled something that Lee Lee the Musical Bee might say: "Fuck your Noguchi coffee table!!"


And here's a straight-up blatant plug for Camper English's SF Cocktail Bar iPhone™ app: Know What. Pricey? Perhaps. Slick? Definitely! There's additional info here.

For a ray of hope to shine.
And there it is in neon,

"She's Not There

I was saddened to hear about the loss of Bill Hinzman the original zombie.
R.I.P., indeed.


Now, let's dial the 70's East-coast time machine with this fine offering by Shaefer Beer. w0w!! You won't see THAT on the Super Bowl.



























"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"

"V" is for Victory

Fresh link from Miss Heather Lake (victorious in her own right) and Pop Chart Lab - the "Classic Cocktails" chart.
I love how so many roads lead to Gin.

In honor of this week's Super Bowl, I give you the 7 greatest food stadiums. Mmmmmmmm.....























"I live my life for a layer of ice
Just like those poured by my bartender 'Vice'
Any taste of vermouth would be really sublime,
When you have a good martini time!"

I'd Vike to Lie a Bowel

I knew it!! That guy HAD to have scored, too!

And all this time, I thought that it was the Hangover of the Century.

Ewe Tube

1. Welcome to 2012!!! Hope the holidays were good.

2. I don't know if you've ever heard anything remotely like this, but, having spent a little time in bars, I have.

3. Gotta at least give this guy an "A" for effort, though job performance is sorely lacking. (I'm still trying to figure out what song that is)






















"And if my friends were by my side.
They still couldn't see, couldn't see inside.
The bartender just lets my tab slide.
Who's takin' who here for a ride

For a while...
At the Starlight Lounge..."

Bad Santa

Need some last minute gift ideas for that kid on your Xmas list? Check out Santa's Evil Toys.

And just in case you're not the wrapping paper and Scotch™ tape kind of gift wrapper, and are in need of some other bonding agents, use the handy "This to That" bonding generator.























Merry Xmas, y'all!!

Phantom Spirits

A title suitable for October, but recently brought to my attention by longtime TNSC list member, Heather Lake. It's not really ghostly, but rather a line of high-speed video cameras from Vision Research, conveniently (for our purposes) named "Phantom".

Let's take a look at what happens when high-speed photography meets cocktails.
















"My right hand holds a cold Corona™ bottle
My left hand holds a half a fifth of Gin.
My right arm reaches out for her love only
But my left still embraces a life of sin ."

Also... being freelance... I miss the "traditional" Xmas office party.























"I stubbed my toe
On the kitchen sink.
I was just gonna go
Get me somethin' to drink.

My cigarette flew
And it couldn't be found!
Lucky I didn't burn
Your whole house down."

Bad Santa

As it's officially December, I can now start posting Xmas links. Long time list member Heather Lake recently submitted this quaint Santa liquor dispenser. I suggest you fill it with either a good bourbon, or perhaps even Galliano for that more authentic "look".
























"Don't store the whiskey bottles on the lowest lying shelves
Easily accessible to tiny little elves.
Neighbors start to gossip when our children start to play
Crown Royal™ bags aren't mittens on a cold Winter's day."

Don't Talk Back!!

Like some women I know... celebrating 60 years of non-stop flapping. ZING!!!


And what mischief is TNSC list-member Heather Lake getting herself into? A recent VISA bill (obtained online through the Freedom of Information Act) reveals that she may have been doing some "inappropriate shopping".••

••Note: 3rd purchase item. She swears up & down that it was a purchase for a seminar during the recent "San Francisco Cocktail Week", but I have my doubts.




















"It's the drunk
In my past
Shuffling by like a train

Sounds on it's track
Like a ride
Like a ride that don't last

Swears each drink
Is the last
Tells the same lie each night

And breaks every promise
Til she makes me go crazy
She's gonna drive me to drinking."

The Final Frontier

For some reason, the chief robot found this funny. I figured that I'd post it so he doesn't revoke my Linkey-Loo card.


Speaking of, where's Allen Funt when you most need him? (that's how I'd like MY cocktails shaken, I tell you what)
