7. Reminds me of a song...

Rollin down the street smokin indo
sippin on gin and juice

[Doc Holliday]

8. ....laid back....

...wit my mind on my money and my money on my mind....

You should hear the shitkicker arrangement of that song. It gives the phrase "that sucks" a whole new level of meaning.

9. Ah, the Tanq

Reminds me of college and the Ramones song "Somebody Put Somethin' in My Drink"

"Another night out on the street
stopping for my usual seat
Oh bartender please.

Tanqueray tonic's my favorite drink
I don't like anything colored pink
That just stinks, it's not for me"

etc.

13. From "A Drink With Something In It", by Ogden Nash:

There is something about a Martini,
A tingle remarkably pleasant;
A yellow, a mellow Martini;
I wish I had one at present.
There is something about a Martini,
Ere the dining and dancing begin,
And to tell you the truth,
It is not the vermouth--
I think that perhaps it's the gin.

[trof]

17. Dorothy Parker on Martinis:

'I like to have a Martini,
Two at the very most;
Three, I'm under the table,
Four I'm under my host!'
