Friday Night Gin and Tonic Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

I love you all…

[Wolf Frankula]

1. Try a Bloody Charlie.

I think you'll like it.

Soon I'm off to a malty evening.

Wolf

[Aristus]

3. I saw your previous recommendation.

I’ll have to try that sometime.

[Wolf Frankula]

24. It's a Bloody Mary with 2 olives as the garnish.

A Bloody Mary with balls. Invented, so I am told by the late great Jean Shepherd.

26. Our Bloody Marys

We make them into a meal.

Here are our ingredients:

Vodka on ice
Tomato juice (we prefer V8)
Texas Pete's hot sauce
Salt & pepper
Worcestershire sauce
Horseradish
Slice of lemon
Stalk of celery
Two stuffed olives on a toothpick
A steamed shrimp

Then a nap!

[fierywoman]

2. I love you too -- especially your honesty.

[Aristus]

4. Aww...

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Does psychological assessment weed out miscreants or is it a profit-driven psychiatrist scheme?

[Aristus]

8. When done properly, it weeds out miscreants.

Trust the process.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Then why are there so many crooks in the corporate board room? They took psy tests.

6. Are your covid cases going up or down?

And how about the severity?

[JoeOtterbein]

9. Do you suggest medical...

...Cannabis for extreme sorrow over mass shootings?

[Aristus]

11. Or even over-the-counter.

Whatever it takes to manage the pain. The human race is on a downhill slide. May as well check out for a while before it goes completely dark.

[JoeOtterbein]

21. Thank...

...you!

[Mme. Defarge]

12. Tanqueray martini

with onion-stuffed olives.

My depression may return later but this is really helping right now. 🍸

[Aristus]

14. Manage the pain. Don't be a hero.

How do you like Tangueray? I’ve tried Sapphire, Beefeaters, and currently am enjoying Roku Japanese gin. But I’ve never had Tangueray.

[Mme. Defarge]

17. While Tanqueray is still my preferred taste

a friend introduced my to Aviator gin and I quite liked it. I tossed the empty bottle but I think it was a lower proof than Tanqueray, so maybe easier on the brain.

Unheroic as I am, I’m a ritualistic drinker and stick to rigid daily protocols. And savor every sip!

[Aristus]

18. I'll give both a try.

Lower proof isn’t necessarily a good thing. Not when I’m trying to step out…

[Mme. Defarge]

20. I will defer to

your expert opinion! 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸

[Srkdqltr]

13. If I bombed the cop house in Uvaldi Tx would any one blame me?

[Aristus]

16. I wouldn't.

I’d say I never heard of you.

Proceed.

19. Looking for suggestions: evil women.

I'm working on a graphics project and want to use a female character (preferably contemporary) who is instantly recognizable as dumb and/or deranged. My list so far includes Sarah Palin, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Cruella DeVille, Harley Quinn, Carrie Nation, Laura Linney (as Wendy Byrde in Ozark). I'd prefer to avoid right-wing politicians but have to admit they have undeniable appeal...

[Ferrets are Cool]

22. What is your favorite music during the Friday Night Gin and Tonic Buzz?

[Aristus]

23. Concrete Blonde, as often as not.

“Scene Of A Perfect Crime” has a nice Friday feel to it.

[Ferrets are Cool]

25. That was a nice unexpected answer.
