Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Rusty Nail. Scotch and Drambui over ice in a highball glass.

The Scotch is Ardbeg, which I don’t like very much, and I won’t get again when the bottle is empty. But I’ve become very fond of Drambui.

I love you all…

1. Any novel suggestions for me

and Tito tonight?

[Aristus]

2. Some limoncello and tonic water will make a nice tipple.

Enjoy!

[cilla4progress]

3. Thanks!

I have tonic but no limoncello!

[Aristus]

4. Get some!

It’s wonderful!

[niyad]

19. If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, they carry a very nice Limoncello.

Very reasonably priced.

5. Drambuie is wonderful stuff!

Someday I would love to see the Isle of Skye where it’s made. I like my Drambuie on the rocks with a twist of lemon.

7. What a man was six foot six Drambuie ...

They drink this stuff in Texas, don't they? *hickup*

[redwitch]

8. Hmmm.

I’m wondering now if Jm Bowie drank Drambuie whilst eating Chop Suey.

Sorry! I’m just a bit stoned.🤪

[Aristus]

15. Enjoy!

[Aristus]

10. I'll have to try that!

Thank you!

I’m always grateful for drink suggestions.

6. What is your favorite whiskey/whisky?

I was recently given a bottle of Welsh single malt whisky. Haven’t cracked it yet.

I like drambui plain.

[Aristus]

11. Lagavulin.

Nothing else even comes close. The perfect balance of smokiness and peatiness.

It’s sublime.

I didn’t know that Wales produced a single malt. I’ll have to look for a bottle.

[True Dough]

9. Do you have a pet?

[Aristus]

12. No.

I don’t like cats. Mrs. Aristus doesn’t like dogs. Our marital compromise was to have neither.

I was raised in a dog family. I love them. But I’ve made my sacrifice.

[MacDo]

13. I'm unemployed

So it’s Smirnoff for me.
Really not helping with the anxiety though.

[Aristus]

16. Smirnoff isn't exactly a last-ditch vodka.

It’s very good, I think.

But I get the anxiety. Unemployment sucks. Hope things get better soon…

14. A story

When my sister was out of high school, late 1960s, she and her friend started going to see a hypnotist with an act. I can't remember his name. They saw him in Cleveland, where we lived, a few times. They flew to Cincinnati at least once to see him. When my sister saw him in Cincinnati, she drank her first Rusty Nail, raved over how good they were. I've never yet had one. Maybe I should splurge

[Aristus]

17. Definitely!

Treat yourself.

And once you’ve had one, let me know your thoughts.

[niyad]

18. It is my college's sesquicentennial (and, NO, I am NOT one of the original

graduates!). In honour of this major event, should I at least pretend to care about any of the athletic events taking place, or just enjoy the food, and drink, and women's studies events?

[Aristus]

20. Ignore the athletic events.

I can’t think of any variation of ball-and-other-apparatus endeavor that beats good food and good drink.

[niyad]

21. Ahhh, thank you. I have yet to find any sport, at any level, to be of any

interest to me. Understand, I have no trouble with others' interest in such, so long as they ignore me in the process.

[Aristus]

22. That's a fact.

Professional football used to be eleven guys from the local meat-packing plant playing eleven guys from the local steel mill for five dollars a game and all the beer they could drink.

Now it’s basically which millionaire sustained which joint injury, and how many times did they interrupt play to break for commercial.

[niyad]

23. I figured out the chronic brain injuries in pro footbsll decades ago. And

the absolute corruption in almost every sport. Colour me soooooo not interested!

[Aristus]

24. I'm calling it.

It’s bedtime.

Good night!…
