Friday Night Rum Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots of vodka to get the party started, (and to finish off the bottle ) and now Tiger’s Milk; rum, brandy, half-and-half, and sugar, with a sprinkling of nutmeg.

Hope everyone is looking forward to a great weekend.

I love you all…

[3catwoman3]

1. Love you back!

You seem to be quite the mixologist. Were you ever a bartender?

[Aristus]

4. Never. But thank you!

I’m learning.

My step-son, who is also not a bartender, is a brilliant mixologist. He and I love to explore new cocktails, and try out new bourbons.

For the record, the best bartender on the West Coast works at the Kokopeli Grill in Port Angeles, Washington. The man has style, and mixes a magnificent cocktail.

2. Should the toilet paper roll go over or under?

[Aristus]

5. What are you? A barbarian?

Over!

Sheesh!…

[Permanut]

7. One of the profound mysteries of the universe!

I've been pondering it since I retired eleven years ago. Now I need ponder no more.

[Aristus]

8. You've heard it from the ultimate authoritative source.

Go your way and sin no more…

🫶🏼

[niyad]

13. Of course, if you just leave it on the cabinet or shelf, no more discussion!

[3catwoman3]

11. As long as there is some, that's the...

…most important part.

[niyad]

19. EXACTLY!!!

[EYESORE 9001]

3. Any more walks on the weed side?

I remember awhile back that you gave up ethanol for THC temporarily. There was a time when I tried combining those two, often with disastrous results.

[Aristus]

6. I gave up THC while our grandson was living with us.

He moved out five months ago, but I haven’t started back up yet. I need to get some tincture of Indica. Made for a nice high with no hangover.

9. I'm more of a sativa guy

I have no trouble sleeping whatsoever, and I like feeling energetic instead of lethargic. I wouldn’t turn down either, but sativa is my preference. I’m getting ready to do a dab or two of this live rosin I just got. It’s a 10g jar, so I’d better get busy.

[Aristus]

10. Enjoy!

[niyad]

12. And we love you back. Red or white silk to line my black velvet opera cape?

[Aristus]

14. If you have pale skin, red.

Darker than pale, white.

Contrast catches the eye…

On edit: I forgot to mention: You have a black velvet opera cape?…

[niyad]

15. VERY pale skin! Years ago, my opthamologist told me that, for all intents

and purposes, I was an albino.

[Aristus]

17. Lovely.

You will no doubt look ravishing at the opera!

[niyad]

16. Well, yes, of course. Doesn't everyone? I also have three Kinsale

cloaks. I have probably made a dozen or more for friends.

[Aristus]

18. My go-to piece is a navy-and-black shawl collar dinner jacket.

Worn with standard black tie. It gets noticed.

[niyad]

20. I am certain that it does, and rightfully so!

One year, on my birthday, several friends and I were celebrating at a local club. Nobody had paid any attention as we arrived singly, or in pairs. They did notice as all 13 of us left together, all cloaked, with our staffs!

[Aristus]

21. I would have loved to see that.

Staffs, even. That and opera capes are too Goth to imagine properly…

[niyad]

22. We were quite a sight, indeed. Several of the guys were. . .a bit on the

imposing side. Pretty sure they were Vikings in a prior existence. But do not think Goths, wrong group. And , of course, one does not mix cloaks and capes, nor does one carry a staff into an opera performance.

The Renaissance Faire opens in a couple of weeks. May have to see about another staff, or a walking stick!

[Aristus]

23. My mistake.

Still, sounds intriguing…

[niyad]

24. It was indeed. We always had fun, including at the RenFaire, where we

tended to blend in amoung all the costumes.

I have to thank you. I suddenly got images of several new cloaks that it would be really interesting to make.

[Aristus]

25. Glad I could help.
