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'm adding Old Mill to my list. it is custom made on the Spanish Main, so....

much rum was appreciated last night. along with much wine, some beer and a bottle of seagrams. no one drank the lemon hart poison, but the mumbling dum dum malibu is finally gone!

this evening i was surprised to find that there was still a good amount of old mill left in the cupboard. why did this not get drunk at our party? did we put it away?

regardless, i was happy to find it, and was / am / will continue to be happy to consume some of it.

it was even out, and no one went for it

i'm up for appreciating some rum tomorrow

ME TOO!

we got lots of the cockspur left. but not the 12, unfortunately.

thx black strap. nice to meet you again.

^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.
