What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Big Man]

You are a true adventurer Big Man!

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

We spent the last week at Folly Beach and Charleston, SC. One night we went out to eat at Shim Creek. They had an "oyster martini" on the menu, so (naturally) I just had to try one.

I like raw oysters. I like a good vodka martini. I like cocktail sauce to eat with oysters. However, put them all together into a drink and, well, not that good. But, I was the only one at the table who had the guts to get one, and to drink it down to the last drop.

First, I applaud your adventurous spirit. Secondly, I'm always amused at people who say things like "you like this, that and the other, so you'll like this combination." No. It doesn't work that way. I like avocado, lobster and chocolate ice cream. But mixing them together does not appeal to me. At all.

Yeah, after finishing my oyster martini, I wanted to go out in the parking lot and find a piece of dog crap to chew on just to get the taste of that oyster martini out of my mouth. However, I would NEVER let the rest of the folks at the table know that. Heck, I even started to order another one. That's just me, I guess . [huh]

Springbank 12 yo 175th Anniversary. I've had a few bottles of this laying around for quite some time. This bottle needed a good dusting.

You could always send the extra bottles to me.

Sure. Just send me one of your Caddys.

Uh, no.

My beer is warm. The power briefly went out at some point while I was at work today and my outdoor refrigerator did not reset itself. Right now, I am settling for one of Lady ToE's Tangerine Wheat Beers. She's not even a big fan of them and I am even less so.

I hope at least it's cold!

Yesterday when I got home there were a couple of St. Pauli Girls waiting in the garage fridge. Very cool ones, too.

That's funny, there were beers waiting for me in my garage fridge as well.

It was and not long after, they were as well. And everything was right in the Land of ToE.

Ewwwwww! uke:
Well, I guess it could be worse. My friend had Corona LIGHT beer on Saturday. It was so weak and fizzy that my son mistook it for soda. :doh: So much for teaching him a lesson about drinking beer at an early age. He liked it! You can’t get them to say Ewww to a girl beer. :doh: I should have had some of that nasty wheat stuff handy.

I use my garage freezer to fix warm beer. 30 minutes later and NO more. It is nice and icy cold.

 

[1mach1]

Uh, no.

Awwwwww, come on!

Awwwwww, come on!

Ok, here you go:

I refer to that (along with the other LIGHT beers as "Cra_ Lite".

I was at a local establishment a while back and saw some of my students sitting together, working on homework. This establishment always has at least 4 taps dedicated to good, German beer, plus another 4 serving local micro's. Unfortunately, one of the students was drinking a bottle of one of those Lite things. So I walked over and tore into one of the other students, asking him how he could let a friend drink Cra_ Lite!

Fast forward to last Friday - One of those guys mentioned above was getting married and the former Lite drinker was best man. During the best man's toast, he was talking of times the guys had spent together, and somehow worked in how he had been chastised for drinking Cra_ Lite.
(They only had decent beer at the wedding reception.)

Makes a professor proud, when the students actually learn something!

Good to know that Academia has my back.

As did I, but I did not wait 30 minutes.
