Friday Night Dry Martini Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

What a hella week at work.

And Crybaby Rottenhouse getting off scot-free? Ugh!

Drink to forget.

But I haven’t forgotten that I love you all…

[applegrove]

1. What does a martini taste like? I've never tasted one. Never will.

[Aristus]

2. Like whatever you make it with.

Mine is gin and dry vermouth shaken and poured over ice. A dry juniper-y tang to it, and a nice kick if you use enough gin.

[rsdsharp]

14. FDR described a vodka martini as tasting like

a cold cloud.

[applegrove]

20. Damn that sounds good. I was a wine or beer person before I quit.

[asiliveandbreathe]

3. Why are there so many newbees today..

wiseasses both of them..but that is okay..will watch to see how long they last..

Enjoy your Martinis..I don't drink, but if I did, would be a Watermelon Margarita with sugar on the rim...yummm (wait, what? - I don't drink but I know about a WM with sugar..)

[Aristus]

5. You don't have to drink to know about cocktails.

And that one sounds good!

[underpants]

4. Lebron or MJ OR Moses or...

Sabonis

Best basketball player ever?

[questionseverything]

6. Mj

[Aristus]

7. I'm the wrong person to ask.

My knowledge of sports could fit on a postage stamp with room to spare.

[underpants]

8. Favorite band?

[Aristus]

9. Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.

[underpants]

15. Checked it out.

I likes.

[Aristus]

16. Excellent.

They fulfill the most important criterion of music: I feel happy when I listen to them.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. The driest martini is still damn wet.

IMHO.

[Aristus]

11. Hi.

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. That's easy for you to say, Doc,

Especially if you are +4 on the martini consumption index.

[Aristus]

13. If the misspellings start,

you know I’m in the bag…

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. C'mon Doc, you've been here long enough to cover your misspelling mistakes.

[GP6971]

17. Hey Aristus!!

Hope better weeks are in the future.

What's the formula for determining the square footage of a circle?

[Aristus]

19. Whoawhoawhoa!

You want me to do math in my condition?

Appreciate the confidence in me. But it’s just not possible…

[OAITW r.2.0]

21. A better question, Can God make a Square Circle?

Stumps the Jehovah Witnesses every time.

[CentralMass]

30. Aπr2 (that is r squared)

31. I had to look it up a couple of weeks ago

for a yard project. The formula is;

To calculate the area of a circle we use the formula: π x (diameter/2)2. That is to say π (pi is 3.14159265) multiplied by half the diameter squared. So, we divide our diameter by 2 and then square it (multiply it by itself) and then multiply by π. This gives you your square feet figure (ft2).

[Ohiya]

22. My only martini experience...

For the final episode of MASH, I went to a watching party where only martinis were served. For years, (or decades), I never really could remember much about that final episode. Someone here on DU recommended that I should watch it on dvd - I did and I'm glad I did!

I'm into some box wine tonight.

23. My wife usually confines me to one martini, but we can walk

To a nice restaurant in the neighborhood and then I am allowed two. Always a pleasant walk.

[Aristus]

24. Enjoy!

[VarryOn]

25. How dirty?

I like a little brine in mine.

[Aristus]

26. Brine.

I’ve never tried that.

I’ll mark it down for the future…

[VarryOn]

27. Brine from a jar of green olives...

Once in am bind, I used a little pickle juice.

[bahboo]

28. happy Friday....

in a bit of a mood here. Rittenhouse. Place a mess due to a new floor, which will be great...but can't watch mindless tv at the moment. If you're ever in LA, martini at Musso and Frank is a must. Also the bar at the Biltmore. I don't have to say gin, do I? Went to an old haunt this afternoon for a couple of average wines....had to leave because of Rittenhouse conversations...not to mention that shit in Georgia. And this in a SoCal beach town that went 65% Biden. Jesus Christ. Anyhoo...you do good work. Enjoy the buzz...ready to escalate here...good feelings to all....

[Aristus]

29. And to you...

[Skittles]

32. my favorite Martini

[PJMcK]

33. Sorry, I missed the party

I’m taking narcotics to dull the pain of knee replacement surgery. No mixing! Otherwise, I would have been sipping vodka and iced tea.

See you next Friday!
