still with the crap no-label whalers!

wtf is sharecroppers? i've never seen that one before

and Malibu, I C U HIDING:)

silly. that's a picture from last summer... sharecroppers is an interloping bottle of wine. and the whalers is long gone by now. as is the one barrel, sadly. that malibu may still be hiding there in the back.

catalog of yr shelf now plz

except that bottle of mt. gay is significantly emptier now.

lol at the light cruzan. was david over again?

what's the one on the left?

no, i bought it. it's okay when you want something super light. you never even tried it! you don't know!

on the left is saint james.

i had completely forgotten about the barbancourt. there's another almost empty bottle of goslings back there, and that fucking sailor jerry's. and the poor little wee bottle of malibu still: the neglected little sister of the rum cupboard.

and jim beam? wtf?

you will be amused to know that i had to stand on a chair to take that picture.

this is the rum i am appreciating tonight

in a jar even! be still my heart

http://www.polishedpalate.com/images/goslings-rum.jpg
this is what's on for monday: i still haven't washed the dishes so it's a jar again tonight for me. good thing i have lots of jars.

i bought a tough bottle of rum last night, can't even remember the name, left it at the party. but! i got good and drunk until the soda ran out and I introduced this girl Mikaela to the pleasure of rum rickeys and she got sauced. the headache today is worth it.

i don't know how i missed that link to the havana rum museum till now. according to Lonely Planet Cuba, they also give excellent dancing lessons at the museum. let's go!

(children get in free. this is amusing me all the livelong.)

it's payday so i bought 4 bottles of rum and a carton of cigarettes. what a happy happy thing.

and since i know you're going to ask, i will save you the trouble and just tell you:

mt. gay, goslings, flor de cana 7 year, cockspur, benson & hedges

the latter i will save for your homecoming.

haha, the latter rum, that is. i'm smoking them b&h whether you come home or not, brother.

ha

thumbs up to the good pott

gute pott + good pot = good times

(or would equal good times, if i had both)

i've sure managed to appreciate the rum this week. pick of the week has to be cockspur. mmm good.

Matusalem you are a treat.

i have earthshattering rum news

when you first open a bottle and take a whiff, you may not get an accurate representation of what the rum's like

i guess it's like wine. (fuck wine connoisseurs). let it breathe some and then smell, you get a better idea of what it's going to be like

starting from a really light one and then working my way darker to the blackstrap now makes me think that u get drunk in a different way vs. staying with the same thing all night

this sounds like a fun progression, but i never acquired an appreciation for rum.

yeah, me too except mojitos
but i will appreciate RUM vicariously

i'm not trying to talk anyone into anything, but if you were to try one please try flor de cane 5 year with soda water, fresh and bubbly, a nice juicy lime, and ice. one shot. measure it out. make no quick decisions. pass no judgement until the end of the first. by the start of the second you won't regre it

starting from a really light one and then working my way darker to the blackstrap now makes me think that i will feel like shit the whole next day

xp he's right, you know

may be coming around.

what's up barbancourt. you're my lady

she is a beauty

there was a show on history channel the other day called 'rum runners, bootleggers & moonshiners"

u know j i only like the barbancourt ok--the pyrat pistol was fantastic for sippin tho

word up

i always thought i hated barbancourt. something about the higher proof throws off the careful calibration of drinks.

it's worked this weekend though. the local liquor store is shit!

this guy got encased in rum!

^bad typing.

from kira:

hahaha funny story.

so brian got a job at this new restaurant in town and for some reason, they had to train him to serve alcohol even though he is too young. so i guess he was talking to his coworkers and the bartender about drinks and they were talking about drinks with rum and brian said something about a rum ricky. but i guess no one had any idea what he was talking about and the bartender said he had never heard of that drink before... haha so brian felt really stupid i guess, so he asked me about it and i told him that, yes indeed, it is a real drink. but i thought that was really funny and weird....

fdc7, i love you

ready..................

me too, get home, you

dang girl i gotta go east to go west first though

wend yer way, s'alright. just hope there's some left for you.
