Zorya! Nice to see new faces here.

Lauren, I used to hate beer. There are sooo many different kinds though, there's a beer for everyone.

Hey guys

Hello Rebekah!

How are you on this snowy day? Are you getting any of the white stuff?

** Kicks the icy bits off my boots and on to the mat **

Can I get you anything?

 

[starsgoblue]

It is so nasty outside... I don't want to go anywhere. I feel like a prisoner in my apartment.

Can I get an Irish coffee?

Tell me about it, my fabulously beautiful sports car in the shop and I'm trapped here until it's fixed. The supreme irony would be if I paid all this money to get it fixed only to slide into a ditch on the way home. Now THAT would make me

** Pours 1/2 oz Irish whiskey, 1 tsp Brown sugar (Demerara), 6 oz hot Coffee into a big mug and stirs **

This reminds me of a story. I saw Radiohead in 1997 in Worchester Centrum (I hope that I spelled that right) and we went to a pub afterward. Given the late hour, I figured I would get some coffee with the good stuff in it. I ordered an Irish Coffee but was surprised that the Irish Coffee contained Jameson's and not Bailey's. I assumed that the Irish Coffee would contain Bailey's Irish cream! I screwed up my face and wasted my money.

** Adds a dollop of cream for good measure **

There you go , grab a blanket and a good film...

Hey! You stole my plans for the day! Although my day probably doesn't include elephants

Sad because the Elephants are sad, or sad that you're watching elephants?

 

[ewen]

sad because of the elephants. i have to stop watching natural history programmes.

Hey Rebekah, ewen and Lauren!

It's nice to see you folks around. Congrats on the free U2 stuff ewen!

Lauren, as far as beer drinking goes...I like Bud Light, Heineken and Corona. Once you get used to drinking them then I suggest you try Bass. I Bass! It's not too thick and it's very easy on the taste buds but--it is a wee bit stronger. Harp is also another excellent choice.

Happy drinking!

Tim re: your Irish coffee story, the same thing happened to me. I ordered an Irish coffee at Brennan's (my fave Irish pub in Marina del Rey) and I was shocked to learn that it wasn't served with Bailey's either! Yucky...I'm not big on Jameson either.

 

[ewen]

a dark rum and coke please, no ice

 

[ewen]

hi angel

 

[starsforu2]

a dark rum and coke please, no ice

** Pours dark rum and coke for Ewen into a tumbler **

Here you go, sorry about the elephants. I got to scoot!

** Pulls apron over my head and hands it to Ewen **

The bar's all your's buddy! Chicks dig bartenders! Have fun! Gotta pick up my car and hope it doesn't wreck on the way home

** Pokes head back in for a sec **

Later Angel, didn't mean to be rude. Jameson's

 

[ewen]

I'm contemplating driving to a tat shop to get a pricing... It's so crappy out though....

 

[U2democrat]

ok so all the counties around us have a 2 hour delay due to snow, but we have to go all day at our normal time.

 

[A_Wanderer]

But you got back home two hours earlier right?

 

[neutral]

My glass is empty. Bartender?!?

Guess what I just did guys.

 

[neutral]

You bought me a present didn't you?!

 

[starsgoblue]

Um....no...guess again....


But I can give you this in the meantime, a shirtless Adam...

 

[pax]

You know, I think Adam is really aging very gracefully. He's much more of a babe now than he ever was.

 

[starsgoblue]

I agree Pax...Atomic Adam is the hottest.

Now guess!

 

[U2democrat]
