Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots of vodka to get the party started.

Now I’m enjoying a whiskey rickey. Whiskey, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda.

I love you all…

[niyad]

1. And we love you back. French 125 or Sidecar?

Did your day get any better.

[Aristus]

2. I love a good Sidecar.

But I choose French 125 because I’m always willing to try something new.

[niyad]

4. brandy, Champagne, and a sweet and sour float.

[Aristus]

19. I've got all the ingredients.

But Mrs. Aristus and I are saving the champagne for the day TFG is arrested. 🍾

[Marthe48]

3. Are you going to vote for a fat bear?

[Aristus]

5. Fat bears are better than skinny.

A skinny bear is probably hungry and will unzip my guts as quick as thinking.

[Atticus]

6. Hope you don't mind "talking business" at this hour, but have you encountered any complications

arising out of dental implants?

[Aristus]

8. Not in a medical clinic, no.

I think if anyone is experiencing that, they wisely go to the dental clinic.

[Atticus]

10. I was thinking of infection with high temp, etc. Thanks . Hope mine goes well. nt

[Aristus]

12. Take some Tylenol for the temp.

Then hit an urgent care clinic this weekend.

[Atticus]

17. Sorry I was not clear. I WILL be getting first stage of the implant later this month.

I heard of a person who did have a pretty bad infection with his. I think this s pretty rare if the patient takes his meds and follows insructions.

Thanks for your concern and stay mellow.

[Aristus]

20. Oh. Okay.

I’m glad you didn’t think I was brushing you off.

[captain queeg]

7. Glad you are getting a chance to relax. Do you have tomorrow off?

[Aristus]

9. Got the whole weekend.

Tomorrow night: the symphony. Other than that, chill for forty-eight hours…

[TexasTowelie]

13. Any other potent potables to be enjoyed tonight?

[Aristus]

14. I might end the evening with some cognac.

Nothing else like it in the world.

[TexasTowelie]

15. It's been over twenty years since I drank any cognac.

I might put it on the Christmas wish list since I'm budgeting for my 35th college reunion next month.

[Aristus]

18. Your best bet is Courvoisier.

I know The Ladies Man turned it into a punchline. But it really is sublime.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

16. My lady (PA) and I are enjoying some vodka and bai, and (legal!) 10mg indica gummies this evening

I'm about to throw together some ground beef crunchy tacos with fresh pico and the other fixin's, taco meat is simmerin' now.

Glad you're having a good night buddy!

[Aristus]

21. Back at you!

Dinner sounds lovely. Nothing in the world quite like fresh Mexican.

[chillfactor]

22. Enjoying my cheap red wine

maybe with anticipated COLA raise i might be able to occasionally buy some vodka for my beloved Bloody Marys.

Enjoy your weekend off.

[Aristus]

23. I will. You too.

[chillfactor]

24. I always feel Friday is complete

when I see your Friday post and you are well.

[Aristus]

33. Aww...

[Ocelot II]

25. Happy Friday! I always look forward to your Friday night vodka buzz

even though I hardly ever drink any more because it makes me so sleepy. If I'd started drinking anything an hour ago I'd be out cold by now. But I can appreciate it vicariously.

[Aristus]

28. Happy Friday to you, too!

[cilla4progress]

26. Barr Hill gin and tonics -

handcrafted in Vermont.

Interesting - it has a touch of honey!

Have you always been able to mix your spirits, drink different ones at one sitting (over several hours)?

[Aristus]

29. As promised above, I have moved on to the cognac portion of the evening.

Life is good…

[cilla4progress]

30. Awesome

sauce!

[Arkansas Granny]

27. Friday night Chardonnay and weed buzz. How ya doin'?

[Aristus]

31. Excellent!

And you?

[3catwoman3]

32. Question - where does your screen name come from...

…and does it mean anything in particular?

[Aristus]

34. It's a Latin derivation of the Greek name Aristocles.

Which was Plato’s real name. Years after I adopted the name, I found that there are at least a few Catholic saints named Aristus.

A long time ago, there was a fellow DU-er; haven’t seen her in years, who called me ‘Ari’. It was cute.
