I gotta say, after all these years having heard the name Sailor Jerry thrown around...mostly around here...I've finally been giving it a shot myself. Fuckin-A, with a little coke zero, that's pretty much all I've been drinking the past few months. Just bought my third handle tonight, and it is fucking delicious.
I had manicure and pedicure for the first time recently. A girl that I know is in beauty school and needed guinea pigs for class credit, so she volunteered me. I was surprised how much I liked the manicure. I didn't enjoy the pedicure as much personally. I'm getting both done again next week, so perhaps I will have a better opinion of it then. You might ask the spa if they can just ask him what he wants as a service in addition to the massage (e.g. manicure, pedicure etc.) and let him choose.
I like Sailor Jerry's with Diet Dr. Pepper in addition to mixing it with Coke Zero. If you haven't tried them yet, also try Mount Gay and Flor de Cana rums as well. I'm a fan of both. http://www.mountgayrum.com/ http://www.flordecana.com/index.php
This is just my personal opinion, but I would feel very weird if my girlfriend got my either a manicure or pedicure (or both) as a birthday gift. Not that it's an un-manly thing to do, it's just not something that guys enjoy, in my opinion. If it were me, you would be better off with something electronic, but I'm a big nerd. Not sure why this made me think of this, but I was listening to the Adam Carolla podcast the other day with Jim Jeffries and I realized that the Australian accent is the best for cursing with. No other accent sounds as good when saying words like 'Fuck' or 'Cunt' as Australian, and that is a goddamned fact.
I've tried it with regular Dr. Pepper a few times. Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda, and of course I love Sailor Jerry, but I'm not a fan of the two together, it's just a tad too sweet for me. It may be worth trying diet DP with it, but for now coke zero is my favorite way to drink it. Anyone ever had Kraken rum? I've been wanting to try it for a while now.
Since I work on my feet all day, I highly recommend the pedicure. In fact, I'm going to get one Monday, and I might even see if the wife needs one. Sign Number 1,563 I'm Getting Old: When my wife asked me if I was going out tonight, I said no, because by the time I got home, got the dogs up, and got cleaned up, it would be 11:30. Bars don't close until 3, and Beale Street doesn't close until 5. Instead, I decided the responsible thing to do was to enjoy some cold hot wings and read. I think my 22 year old self is coming through time to slap the taste out of my mouth.
So, I'm a Canadian Australian?? No, I'm a Pennsylvanian by birth, Tennessean by choice, and waiting for the opportunity to become a Bostonian again.
My life would be approximately 10% more complete right now if I didn't have the taste of tequila in my mouth. It would have been so much less complete were it not for the snow, rain, wind and cold last week. So much less.
