Is it weird that I drink pretty much all of my booze neat? Growing up, most of my drinking consisted of stealing from Dad's liquor cabinet, and there never were any mixers. So regardless of what I'm drinking, it goes in the cup and then down the hatch. Whiskey, rum, vodka, doesn't matter. I always get strange looks when I pour rum into a cup and drink it straight.
And whenever I order vodka and tonic, people look at me funny because it's not a gin and tonic. I wish I could go back and enjoy gin and pretend to be a British military officer trying to take refuge from the busy work of subjugating a malaria-ridden continent, but it's just not always in the cards.
Fuck it. I just made a Tom Collins. This was a good decision. Christ, that first taste of booze is the best. My taste buds fire, my blood starts to rush a bit, my head clears. This isn't a good sign. Like I just shot up with crank. Now, let's double team the ad-bot until it googles all over our gherkins.
Gin and ginger ale. Do it. Best summer drink, possibly ever. Gin and tonic is an OK substitute, but only if its mostly gin. Drinking something that just tastes like tonic water sucks. The British invented the gin and tonic because quinine, the anti-malarial in tonic water, tastes like shit, and their solution was to cover that shit with the beauty that is gin. Omega - neat rum is only weird if you're drinking something like Captain Morgan or Bacardi Silver.
I'm a big fan of gin, and believe it is highly underrated. Sapphire on the rocks is my go-to. Gin is also surprisingly good in a marinade for chicken. I'd say 80% of the liquor I drink involves gin, and yet I've never had a tom collins. Reminds me of "Meet the Parents" for some reason (I think someone drank it in the movie?), so I've avoided it.
Dammit. You can't say something like that and disappear. So many questions. Is it only on special occasions like christmas or birthdays or baptisms? Only on the tits and belly, or is he allowed to hose you down as he pleases? Does he have to forgo chicken wings for a week so his piss doesn't smell like hot vinegar? Is it bad form not to reciprocate? And on that note, I'm going to have gin and grapefruit. Because I need to stay healthy. Vitamin C.
Wooo yours truly made first team all-league. This would be much more impressive if I didn't play with children.
So I am watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and I think JK Rowling might be a tad anti-semitic. Creepy big nosed goblins who have a monopoly on the only wizard bank? C'mon.
