Nice to see you, too. It is my firm belief that any drink tastes better from the hand of a lady.

Fernet-Branca, huh? The manual says it's good for menstrual discomfort and baby colic. Just what I need, thanks.

'Nother one, please. Can we smoke in here?

by **Project Willow** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 4:02 am

Sure.

Now after you vent a bit, Dave's gonna give you a primer on not getting your hackles up over other people's troubles. He's real good at that.

Then he'll probably give me a talk too.

So, does this bar do receptions?

I'm thinking of serving queso and chips. Dr. Pepper and water for the non drinkers of DP.

PS - the music from "what are you listening to" is too loud. Please have them turn it down.

That's a powerful thirst you've got going there, Joe.

And PW, taking on a Darwin stubby is a sure-fire way to impress a bloke 'round these parts!

Funny you should mention it Perigrine. I've been literally running the local bottle shops out of their last stocks of my favourite cab/sav 3 litre cask (when it comes to wine, I'll only drink the best cask wine money can buy - I'm a bit of a snob like that), and have had to resort to alternatives, one of which I sampled just last night - an Australian white shiraz (Banrock Station 2 litre). On ice, as I had forgotten to put it in the fridge. Very nice in the warmer weather we're having here. I'll shout you one.

I've never had a white shiraz, I'm quite curious to try that. I shall keep my eyes peeled next time when at the liquor store.

It was pretty hot yesterday erosoplier.

I figure 4 litres of beer was just about enough liquid to rehydrate me last night.

(And I know beer is only a temporary rehydration, and a net loss of water, but the bonus is you get to drink more beer.)

I am officially obsessed with this drink. The description of its initial noxious-ness is far overstated in the article. I liked it off the bat. A poor man's chartreuse. (and a rich man's listerine?)
