celebrate our country coming to its senses

[ska21]

I hate to see someone drink alone.

[Tippster]

Gimme a couple hours. I'm "In like Flynn."

[Woodsy]

this place is going to hell,
only 3 people want to celebrate their consitutional right to imbibe?!?

no wonder everyone is leaving.

[Hutch]

It's the 4th. And I am imbibing. Seagram's 7 and Sprite Zero.

[Steven S. Dallas]

Seagram's 7 and Sprite Zero.

The next time someone gives me shit about drinking Silk Nog I am going to throw this little gem out there.

[Hutch]

I'm in my office, the sprite zero is free.

As for the Seagrams, what can I say? It's only $18 a fifth.

[Tippster]

The fact that you're drinking IN the office excuses your horrendous choice in Mixed Drink.

The only excuse for Silk Nog is that SSD is now in LA and has been infected by the locals. Next he'll be gushing about having seen Lindsay Lohan's personal trainer's poodle....

[advres]

I'm drinking PBR, in the office. Shit, we started at 12:30 today.

[irul&ublo]

Woodsy....

Everyday is December 5.

[Buzzworthy]

Howdy stranger.

I shall take your advice and even go a step farther and indulge tonight too.

Some drunk junk from a time of funk.

The Salida Mail, Dec. 2, 1932
75 years ago
The Salida Mail, Dec. 2, 1932:
What is a saloon? That question is being asked every where these days. Both parties declared "Against the Saloon" before the election and since then there has been a general desire to ascertain just what they declared against.
There have been over two hundred decisions by state supreme courts on the definition of the word "saloon."
Art shops were called saloons. The owner of an art shop in Massachusetts got to entertaining in his shop. He served intoxicating liquors. His guests got drunk so often that the police were called. His place was called the art saloon.
That term was used in the trial until the word "saloon" which formerly meant "art shop" was being used to designate the place where they got drunk. To this day that has been the general meaning of the world. A place where people got drunk.

aw, and here I thought people just wanted to celebrate my birthday!

[Buzzworthy]

[MrsTromano]

You are just trying to get me drunk, aren't you.

[InspectorGadget]

Happy birthday Mrs. Robinson, err Tro-ma-no.

[Woodsy]

The next time someone gives me shit about drinking Silk Nog I am going to throw this little gem out there.

thats why SSD and I got along, the melding of the forward thinking soy based non dairy beverages with the enjoyment of old timey traditional all alcohol cocktails .
the old and the new
the best of both
in this case at the same time.

[mr_gyptian]

Why? Because prohibition killed many of the smaller breweries in America leaving us with shit. Fuck you Vostead!
