Friday Night Last Fucking Weekend Of The Trump Presidency Vodka Buzz!

[Aristus]

Ask me anything...

I love you all...

[consider_this]

1. How will the Biden presidency affect your Friday night drinking?

[Aristus]

5. I don't know yet.

The Trump years coincided with my first major period of career burnout. There may be some correlation. I have lately discovered I have at least a little muscle to flex against upper management. I'm a profitable asset that they want to keep happy. I think if I exert more control over my clinic schedule, they won't complain much.

I do remember that during the Obama years, I was much happier in my practice, probably because the rest of the country didn't seem quite so hopeless and desperate.

8. Cheers, man...

and goodness forward for you!

[Aristus]

9. Thank you.

And you...

[rurallib]

2. Do you think Biden will beat the virus??

[Aristus]

6. I think appointing competent people to manage the national vaccination program

is a solid piece of governance.

I hope we'll see the curve flattening within just a few months...

[JDC]

3. Who's ass is gonna be kicked to the curb on Weds at noon?

[Aristus]

7. Trump's! That's whose!...

[True Dough]

4. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! We've almost reached the Trump finish line

No more of his spewing!!

[underpants]

10. Dry January for me

Good for you though.

[Aristus]

11. That's okay.

Everyone is welcome.

Good to have you here...

[Botany]

[Aristus]

14. Bread and olive oil sounds good.

A vodka Martini
Vichyssoise and a small glass of chilled Chardonnay.
Pear and walnut salad.
Grilled fillet of sole, with lemon and capers. A glass of a citrusy IPA to go with it.
Roast of lamb with mint sauce. Paired with a Chilean Malbec, woody bouquet, strong character, and a slightly acidic finish.
Raspberry sherbet as a palate cleanser.
Beluga caviar on toast points. A shot of lemon vodka to go with it.
A small steak salad with marinated truffles.
A smoldering dish of potted brownie, with white chocolate and brandy sauce.
Lemon sorbet as a palate cleanser.
A selection of fruits and cheeses.
Salted mixed nuts and a digestiv glass of port.
Coffee.


Champagne in the study, good friends, and after-dinner conversation...

[Botany]

18. what no after dinner coffee w/cream and some berry compote?

tres gouche!

BTW Trump likes a well done NY Strip and ketchup

[Aristus]

19. Well,

if you're still in the mood for fruit, how about some nice Russian kissl?

[MyOwnPeace]

13. So, when did you.....

start the "Last Friday Buzz Session?"

I had a tooth pulled so I started as soon as I got home - 2:30 PM EST- but it was for "medicinal purposes only."

[Aristus]

15. I'm not fully-buzzed yet.

Wanted to get this into the Lounge before it got too late for our East Coast Loungers.

But I'm well on my way...

[MontanaMama]

16. Can you even believe we made it

to the end of this friggin’ nightmare?

[Aristus]

17. A lot of us didn't...

To absent friends...

And to the ones who are right here...

[MontanaMama]

28. Yes many of us didn't make it.

Your point reminds me of this song...my 15 year old son showed this to me...we had a good cry together. It speaks for itself.

[MyOwnPeace]

22. As Francis Albert Sinatra so eloquently stated......

"But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way"

Indeed - we made it!!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Next Friday's vodka buzz will be a celebration.

I can hardly wait.

I have a bottle of Prosecco ready for Wednesday at noon, which I plan on drinking directly from the bottle, so I'll have to drink something else on Friday.

[dhill926]

24. 9AM here, but yeah....

bubbles will be ecstatically consumed....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Come to think of it, my bubbly cork will be popped at 11:00 central time.

So that's even better.

[Aristus]

25. I work on Wednesday,

so my celebration will have to wait until Friday.

But it’s gonna be gooooood...

[Niagara]

21. Woohoo Aristus!!!

You can have a few alcoholic drinks for me too. I'm drinking plain Earl Grey Tea. I'm not a recovering alcoholic or anything, I'm just not a drinker.



I'm so ecstatic that it's the last weekend of this miserable MF45 and his administration's reign of terror.



Have a wonderful weekend!

[hay rick]

23. Yoohoo! Because you already took my woohoo!

This is indeed the best Friday night in 4 years- but I'm saving my brain cells for Saturday and/or Sunday. 'Til then, H2O.

[Niagara]

36. I didn't mean to take your woohoo.

[Aristus]

26. Not too many, though...

I don’t want to slip into a coma...

[Niagara]

37. Definitely.

I hope that you're staying hydrated too.

[Aristus]

38. I am.

I just had another couple of shots of vodka to get Saturday evening kicked off.

But I'm chasing it with some tangerine-flavored La Croix sparkling water...

[Wolf Frankula]

29. Two Questions

1: How can you come in your pudding if you don't beat your meat?

2: Have you ever had Pliny the Tiny, a heavily hopped whiskey?

Wolf

[Aristus]

30. 1. No idea. Let me step out of the room first.

Then I'll be another dick in the hall.

2. No.

[In_The_Wind]

31. Hope you enjoyed the hell outta last night!

I was sleeping soundly by 8.

How do I calm a terrier. This guy wants to catch mice. But yesterday he barked his head off at a 2 year old wearing a dinosaur outfit.

[Aristus]

32. I enjoyed it very much.

Wish you could have been here to celebrate with us.

I confess I don’t know how to wrangle a terrier. I had a hard enough time disciplining dachshunds when I was a kid...

[In_The_Wind]

33. I understand him being protective of me.

But yesterday was the first time I saw his full fury.

Those tiny teeth could do some serious damage.

[Aristus]

34. Are you okay?

[In_The_Wind]

35. He was sitting on my lap barking over the steering wheel. He didn't bite me.

One toenail poked a hole in the back of my hand because he was jumping up and down.

The kids mom and dad laughed about all the fuss.

I'll never again take him out of the car while waiting to pick Mr ITW up from his job.
