Ahhhhhh... just poured the post-Thanksgiving Bombay martini. Who's in?

[Rabrrrrrr]

I'm pouring!

[GOPisEvil]

1. *hops on barstool* Pour away, maestro!

Dry, with an olive (what the hell - it's a holiday!)

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. I'm offering black olives, and these very tasty little green

french-style olives the name of which eludes (notice my use of french-based word, or at least French-sounding, thus showing my incredible savoire faire and sophistication) me.

Which would you like? My martini has one black, and two of the little green ones. They have their pits, and they aren't made with lye.

So what'll you have - the regular 20 ounce, or the special All-American SuperSizeIt!(tm) 40 ounce Rabrrrrrrtini?

[GOPisEvil]

3. Regular...I like to keep the alcohol cold...

The big ones get warm...plus, I don't want to APPEAR as though I am a raging alcoholic - the supersize one is a little too "frat party" for me.

Oh, to be different, I'll have two black and a green, sort of a green olive sandwich, if black olives were bread. :7

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Yeah, I'd never serve a 40 ounce martini

Would totally get too warm by the end of it, or if it didn't, it would mean one drank it way the hell too fast and is about to fall off the barstool. :-)

Two black and one green it is! Settin' you up . . . . . . . . . . .





































NOW!

[GOPisEvil]

5. Mmmmm...nice...

Those olives must be tasty - two are gone already. :o

[Liberal Christian]

20. What ... no jalapeno stuffed green olives?

You dare to call it a martini without these? HA!!! I should have known better from an America hater like you.

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Evil spawn of Of the Line Of Those Who Walk!

While the jalapeno olive is allowable, it is not essential, for there are many other options available. Of course, a close-minded conservative like you would prefer to have all options closed off as you worship your SunGod Shrub and accept your lockstep jackbooted beliefs from on high. Did you call OxyRushCheney today and ask him what you're supposed to believe? I bet you did. And then you came here and spouted it back like so much regurgitated Ayn Rand nastiness.


(p.s. - wyomee and I know each other, so this is all in fun)

[GOPisEvil]

26. Oh good...I was about to call that Guardian Angel back...

:7

[Liberal Christian]

27. Moi? Call Cheney? Heck, I had him for dinner

On the platter in the middle of the table, of course.

Yeah. I know Rabrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... it's a source of ongoing shame and repentance, but I do know the lad.

[Liberal Christian]

30. Ok .. so I don't get banned

I've known Rabrrrrrrrrrrr (and I can never remember how many r's there are in that name) for, what is it now, 14 years? And how many Bombay martinis?

He ain't heavy. He's my brother.

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. Ha! HA HA!! A reference to a socialist movie,

which is a reference to a socialist man, who took kids in, and treated them as equals and tried to rehabilitate, not execute them.

HA HA HA! hate to embarass you, but your hypocrisy is showing!

[Liberal Christian]

33. MY hypocrisy is showing?

MINE????? Mr. "I'm Thomas Kinkade"??????? You know you love him. Admit it. Come over to the light.

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. Go hoist your petard elsewhere.

I'm sorry, but Napolean lost, so go hide under some other anti-American rhetoric.

[Liberal Christian]

37. You lost your Napoleon?

Call the pastry lost and found, then. Only over in Freedom Land, they call 'em "mille feuilles." Don't come crying to me Mr. I Never Met an Eclair I Didn't Love.

[Rabrrrrrr]

38. Eclaire?

What's that I smell? Is it frog? I report, you decide.

I'm curious what Bill O'Reilly told you to use as the freeper soundbyte of the day. Was it not a soundbyte, but perhaps a directive? Perhaps "Follow the politics of personal destruction"? Because that's what you've done. I can't believe the AssKKKroft gestapo is allowing you to use French words; so I can only assume you must be highly prized, and highly placed, in this administration. What did they do, offer you another $200 tax rebate?

[Liberal Christian]

40. It's all about contracts, dude.

Contracts. Iraq. There must be something I can provide.

You! Get your mind out of the gutter!

[ronzo]

6. I'm having a cold beer.

It's been a long day. Beer Good. :)

[DivinBreuvage]

7. I've never had a martini before,

but the relatives finished off the Sam Adams and Francoise misses her evening buzz. Hit me, please, Rabrrrrrr!

Francoise

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Here ya go!

One martini, comin' at ya! Drink up, enjoy, and relish in your newfound more sauve style of speech and mannerisms. You are now wittier and people are interested in your ability to tell anecdotes from your varied and hirsute life.

Enjoy!

[DivinBreuvage]

13. Many thanks, but "hirsute"? I'm not THAT French.

I know how to use deodorant and soap as well, I have many talents. :P

Francoise

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. OMG! I'm so sorry!

I can't believe I used that word!

How shameful of me. And how embarassing. Must be the tiredness.

No, you are (not that I can verify one way or the other, but I believe you) not hirsute.

You are, however, quite escargot. :crazy:

[DivinBreuvage]

22. LOL, no harm done, blame it on the Martini :)

OMG, escargot? I'm sure you didn't mean what my crudely prurient mind naturally jumped to. I should have been a right-wing fundamentalist.

Francoise

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. I will blame the martini!

Bloody English liquor, and they say they're on our side!

[DivinBreuvage]

32. My ancestral homeland has a word for them (three words actually):

"l'Albion Perfide" (perfidious Albion). Dirty lime-sucking, empire-stealing scoundrels. Je me souviens! :grr:

Francoise

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Limeys! All of them LIMEYS!

[DivinBreuvage]

39. I once heard an Irishman call them "Saxon Bastards"

I can't remember if it was a real-life experience or something I saw on TV, though. What possible reason would the Irish have to hate the English (ha ha just kidding).

One of these days I'm going to start a new thread with that question as the title, just to see how many people ignore the subsequent disclaimer that I'm well aware of the reasons to write a long screed about how could any intelligent human ask the question, etc. etc. etc.)

Francoise

[GOPisEvil]

14. Hahaha! A hirsute life?

Yes, please tell me an anecdote from your hairy life! :D

[DivinBreuvage]

19. Well, there was that time I got dragged to a cabin for a week

(11 days, actually) by a former boyfriend (not literally dragged, you understand, I mean I was coaxed into going against my inclination). I forgot to pack my razor and the shower facilities were absolutely disgusting anyway. I came back from that one a little bristly. And then there was that summer in Bordeaux....

Francoise

[GOPisEvil]

21. That is certainly varied and hirsute!

:7

[DivinBreuvage]

24. I aim to please! n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

36. yes, thank you for the hirsute story!

[SOteric]

8. What's that...? I get a vodka martini, and I can put my feet up...?

Sign me up!

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. For you, SOteric, I'll actually pour a vodka martini!

Is Grey Goose okay? Very dry, I assume.

[SOteric]

11. Perfect.

Dry, indeed. Just wave the vermouth bottle around the rim of the glass once or twice.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. I'll do what I do for GOPisEvil

I pour out the vodka, and hand you the glass and a picture of the guy who invented vermouth, which you can look at while you drink the martini. :-)

[SOteric]

16. That'll work.

:7

[GOPisEvil]

17. Hawkeye Pierce describes the perfect Martini

"You pour six jiggers of gin into a glass and then you drink it while staring at a picture of Lorenzo Schwartz, the inventor of vermouth."

Actually the inventor is Benedetto Carpano (photo unavailable).

[SOteric]

41. Winston Churchill described the perfect martini

as "Glance at the vermouth bottled briefly while pouring the juniper distillate freely."

[Liberal Christian]

23. Vodka martini? That's Russian

See? I knew you were an America hater. Going all co-dependent with the Russians. Vodka indeed. Harrumph!

[SOteric]

51. And if I had a bit of Sevruga, I'd go there too.

Not an 'America hater.' A Commie-pinko-tree-huggin'-librul.

[Rabrrrrrr]

52. heh heh - don't be too hard on wyomee

friend of mine - we were trading barbs in the thread.

[SOteric]

53. Yes, I see that.

I guess I was thinking I wasn't being too hard on him as it was.

:shrug:

[politicat]

18. Got tonic? Oh, I have tonic! Pour me a splash of that mother's ruin, sir!!

NT

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. Aye, it be poured fer ye now!

[Old and In the Way]

42. Bombay Gin...you have good taste sir!

Please serve mine with extra onions! The last time I got tanked on those was at O'Hare airport, a place called Gibson's...which I believe was the birthplace of that drink....

And for you gin lovers here, please try your next Bloody Mary with it. You'll never go back.........

[Rabrrrrrr]

46. Extra onions it is!

Coming right up!

[Kat 333]

47. Yah

Was thinking the same thing. Excellent choice to wrap up a long day. Bombay Sapphire ... I'll drink to that :toast:

45. uh.....................................................yeah

I don't have any idea what you mean.

[Old and In the Way]

48. Obviously lost his/her way.....

probably a bad reaction to the pumpkin pie....

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. bad reaction to reality and democratic thinking

methinks. :-)

[DivinBreuvage]

50. Hitlerjugend!

Yeah, I know.

Winston Churchill drank a quart of brandy a day. Bismarck, the "Iron Chancellor" of the newly unified Germany (Germany, ooooh! sexy) drank a quart of cognac a day. John Hancock, he of "biggest signature on the Declaration of Independence" fame, kept a jug of hooch beside his bed at night.

Yet for 20 years George W. drank more than all of them put together, so I guess he must be greater than Churchill, Bismarck, and Hancock, right?

Francoise

44. damn...and me without my water wings and snorkel!
