1. God, I wish I hadn't "heard you out." That sounds utterly revolting.

10. I do, but I know when I do, and I do it when I need to. Does that make sense to you?
It probably does.

6. I do, actually, but only in business situations. It's required there, but not here.

15. If you'd ever seen me in action, there would be no "maybe." There are MANY things I'm not good at
doing, but I won't be shy in telling you that in a business meeting, I'll OWN that room full of people.

(That's kind of easy when you're as tall as I am, and look like I do. Not to mention that after being a musician in country bars in Texas, and in Irish bars all over the country, you do build some self-confidence.)

11. Seriously guys
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 09:58 PM by briv1016
I used root-beer as a last resort chaser and it worked surprisingly well. Mixed the two and found something that worked.

Please cease and desist from doing such dangerous experimentation.

22. In my Bukowski days
I drank Rye and Ginger Beer almost exclusively; although the thought of it now makes me want to heave, man it was tasty.

24. Everclear, Jolt Cola, & Gaterade is the greatest drink of`
all time. My buddies invented this concoction back in their college days. most of them have survived.
No one knows what to call it but the gaterade gets the 190 proof alcohol and high caffeine Jolt into your system quickly and efficiently.

27. Wrong!
The greatest drink of all time is the Bellini.

Original Version (from Harry's Bar. Venice, Italy.)
2/3 cup white peach puree (use yellow peaches if white not available)
1 teaspoon raspberry puree
1 bottle chilled Italian sparkling wine such as Prosecco orAsti Spumante Brut

Place 1 1/2 tablespoons puree In the bottom of each flute and add 2 - 3 drops of the raspberry puree. Add sparkling wine and serve.
