Would you be referring to THIS dangerously insane bag-lady?.... ...try to look like a bigger ditchpig why don't you. This is how one applies for their own reality show nowadays. Is it so much to ask for her to act like a bigger idiot? I don't know.... have a miscarriage in a liquor store or something. Whatever it takes to up your own ante.
Jesus. Did she hit her face on a shovel when she tumbled into the ditch, or was it getting hit in the face with a shovel that sent her tumbling into the ditch in the first place?
What's to question? Clearly, his mother, Ms. Zoppitybop-bop, decided to keep her name when she married Mr. Bop. I mean, his name wouldn't be bizarre at all if they hadn't decided to hyphenate. I knew his half sister, from his dad's first marriage, Doowopshee. Girl could dance, I'm here to tell you.
My coworker, that had a 4.0 gpa all the way through a mechanical engineering school, thought this was real.
Kubes, Looks like somebody already "hit it". Last time I saw a face that bloated and swollen it was from somebody working it over with a shock absorber.
Ehh lose some of the make up and ice down the plastic surgery swelling and Im good. I find those dimple piercings trashy hot. Fake tits FTW.
41 degrees with the humidex today. Holy shit. Ottawa's weather is awful: as cold as Montreal in the winter, perhaps even more hot and humid than Montreal in the summer. Except instead of having a vibrant and artistic city full of young people, the only remote resemblance to Montreal we have is a sort of strange, awkward, government-sponsored bilingualism. I guess what I'm getting at is, holy fuck am I glad I found my stash of tonic water with which to make vodka tonics. And just a dash of bitters makes it that much better.
I probably shouldn't admit this here but I had no idea what bitters were until I looked it up on wikipedia just now. So it's some kind of alcoholic beverage? All of the pictures feature bottles that appear to have been made in the early 20th century at best, so my best guess is that bitters is something that was much more common 100 years ago and has pretty much fallen by the wayside. Are bitters something that hipsters have brought back?
List of "Things People Typically Have A Stash Of:" - Money - Marijuana, esp. in college - Liquor, esp. in the back of the closet while in highschool - M&M's, esp. in the bottom of the receptionist's desk drawer "Things I Have Never Heard Of Requiring A Stash:" - Tonic Water - Oxygen
Bitters were popular in the first cocktails. Liquor, sugar, maybe water, bitters; that was the original definition of a cocktail. Angostura Bitters have been popular for years. Peychaud less so, though just as old. There are dozens of varieties that have been ignored until the last few years. Orange, grapefruit, celery. Fee Brothers has been making this stuff since 1835. The hipster thing to do now is make your own. Basically you get a bunch of stuff together, macerate it in vodka or grain alcohol, then strain it off after a few days. Voila, bitters. My complaint with this new wave of cocktails is that drinks are starting to look and taste like dinner. Example: Horseradish Cucumber Bitters (house made) with a red bell pepper gastrique of vinegar and sugar, topped with house infused herb vodka. You can f'n keep it, that's ridiculous. They also charge $14 a pop for one. The good old stuff is what still interests me. And it's still exceedingly difficult to find the good old stuff done right.
Bitters is kind of like soy sauce for drinks, I guess. The top of the bottle is constructed similarly in that you shake it out a few drops at a time - because too much would overwhelm the drink. A bottle of it can last for years. I mainly use it for my old fashioneds and mint juleps. I want to get some orange bitters because I see it pop up in some cocktail recipes, but never see it locally and have been too lazy to order it on the internet.
For anyone that likes cocktails, and for the specific drink recipes that call for bitters, it never left. I would contend that no bar that serves cocktails has ever been without it. I think, as a previous post indicated, the recent mixology trend is hipsterish. So one could argue that any ingredients beyond the bare basics would fall into that category, although some are probably more hipster than others. Both bitters and elderflower liqueur are over a century old, but I would say that the latter has more of a hipster vibe.
Eh. Not originally. Some good bartenders out there that used the stuff. But yes, they are now. I'm so torn on hipsterdom. On the one hand they have a genuine reverence for food and drink. On the other hand they are insufferably pretentious doofuses with quixotic and hippie inclinations that need a collective bath. But their women are smoking hot. Cannot explain. Dammit. I use elderflower liqueur in my hard lemonade. Now I need to get an eight foot tall bicycle and an ironic mustache.
So how does one actually get into enjoying cocktails? I've tried several different ones and I never really enjoy them because the alcohol is so strong it overwhelms any other flavor so I just kind of wonder why to even bother with other ingredients; might as well just drink the liquor straight. Perhaps I'm just very sensitive to alcohol.
