Happy Hour! ("And MOST happy hour" says Will...)

[Aristus]

Ask us anything.

[cyberswede]

1. Was your afternoon as hectic as your morning?

[Aristus]

3. It was a little less hectic.

Ready for some relaxation...

[cyberswede]

4. Whatcha sippin' on?

I'm on my second Fat Tire.

[Aristus]

5. Manny' Pale Ale.

Yum!

[cyberswede]

9. Sounds good...

My relaxation experience has been tempered by a soaking wet dog, who just came back into the house muddy up to his armpits - ah...spring.

I hope your evening is more relaxing than mine, now!

[Aristus]

10. Well, it's getting there...

The owner has already bought me TWO shots of Ouzo, for being such a good customer. So I'm buzzing very nicely...

[cyberswede]

11. Well, I'm jealous.

I can't remember the last time I had Ouzo...probably back in college. Man, I don't get out enough these days.

Have a splendid evening! Do you have the day off tomorrow?

[Aristus]

12. No. A full day of clinic tomorrow.

Which means it would be a good idea to stop drinking at some point...

[cyberswede]

13. Nah...just switch to coffee drinks.

Fridays aren't like other days...it's like there's light at the end of the tunnel, so you can get through anything.

[one_voice]

14. Do you like Sambuca too?

I've never had Ouzo, had to look it up. Sounds like it's similar to Sambuca, which I have had and like.

Got wasted one night on Alabama Slammers and shots of Sambuca, it was the only time I ever got sick after drinking. I have no idea how I got into my bed that night. It was the only time I got that drunk. Drinking contest.

***my girlfriends were with me, so I know it was them that got me home.

[Aristus]

16. Never had it.

And I'm a nut on Ancient Rome, so the label really appeals to me.

I'll have to try it.

(I've got the bartender looking for the bottle. No luck so far...)

Can I buy you a shot of Lagavulin?

[one_voice]

18. That'd be nice, thank you..

on the Sambuca..

you light it before you drink it..




Not sure about this brand...just liked the picture..

[Aristus]

20. Cool! The brand I was referring to was Romana Sambvca.

Here's your Lagavulin:

[In_The_Wind]

2. I'm speechless

[Aristus]

6. Okay, well

You could grunt, or something...

[In_The_Wind]

19. Oh oh oh

[Aristus]

21. Hmmm...

...and moan a little...

[In_The_Wind]

24. Or

just enjoy in silence

[Aristus]

26. Works for me...

[Paulie]

7. Any snacks with the ale?

Sausages at the German pub along with the Hacker Pschorr Hefe Weisse was always a treat.

[Aristus]

8. Chicken Saganaki.

A favorite at my Greek hangout.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

15. What are you two drinking?

[Aristus]

17. Manny's Pale Ale for me.

Dry sack and sherry for Will.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

22. So are you all 'unwound' from your hectic day...

I'm sipping a nice CA Cabernet....

[Aristus]

23. Yeah...

Two pints of ale, and two shots of ouzo did the trick...

I'm haaaaapeeeeeeeeee!

Here's to you!...

[Sekhmets Daughter]

25. I'm delighted you are haaaaapeeeeeeeee

I don't have a toasting smilie

but I will party with you!

[Aristus]

27. PAR-TAYYYYY!

The toasting smilie is simple. A colon : the word 'toast' then another colon :

Woo-hoo! Havin' a nice buzz now...

[Sekhmets Daughter]

28. Then here's one to your buzz....

may it just get better and better!

[Aristus]

29. Thank you...

Look out. I'm an affectionate drunk...

[Sekhmets Daughter]

30. Oh my!

But you are always the gentleman... So I need no warning!

[Aristus]

31. Thank you again.

I'll behave...

[Knightraven]

32. Are you haveing a good time?

[Aristus]

33. A very good time, thank you!

Thanks for joining us...

[Knightraven]

34. My Pleasure!

[Aristus]

35. I hope so...

[fleur-de-lisa]

37. What's Will up to this evening?

I'm drinking Cosmopolitans and giving myself a home lactic acid peel, and hoping I don't get drunk, drink the lactic acid and put vodka on my face!

[Aristus]

38. Oh, he's mucking around with John Fletcher.

Still trying to find the manuscript to Cardenio.

Good luck with that, guys...

Anyway, the upshot is, no dinner & drinking with Will tonight. We'll have to have an early breakfast together on Saturday morning, to cobble together this week's WSTFTD.

Oh, well. Hi, fleur-de-lisa! How are you? Careful with the lactic acid...
