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.

This month BOKA renames Happy Hour. Five lanes of pain equal five lane sof gain for those who aren't ready to endure the commute. Enjoy the signature cocktail the Traffic Jam, a delectable combination of Bacardi Rum, fresh muddled raspberries(red for stop), and mint ( green for go); with a citrus sugar rim (yellow...you get the idea) for $5 for the duration of Rush Hour, which, during the month of August will extend to 8pm. Plenty of time for the traffic to ease up.

Rush Hour: Monday - Friday from 3pm - 8pm

we should go... bar menu (half price during happy / rush hour) sounds good.

me: matsusalem
you: ?

way too much cockspur

and some of that whiskey

thanks for buying that brazilian stuff, jergy, even though i don't think i can drink it. maybe we can make syrup out of it?

oh yeah, i took that 'what drink are you' quiz that someone posted on the rum poll thread. apparently i am

***Sex On the Beach***

When comes to drinking, you like it to go down smooth.
You really don't like the taste of alcohol - just its effect on you.
So, you're proud to get drunk on fruity, girly drinks.
Because once you're liquored up, the fun begins!

hahaha.

so not true you like tough drinks

do u rate http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-08-03/goods_drinkup-1.jpg

always liked the label and bottle shape but never tried it

lol screech

haven't tried that appleton, no, but have had another variety (cheaper); it was okay.

what's up with canadian rum?!

how do you drink your rum, am0n?

with coke (boring)

what about
http://www.rum.cz/galery/cam/vg/pussers/img/vg~1.jpg

not boring if it's what you like though, eh? if i liked coke i'd probably drink rum and coke, too. instead, it's soda-lime for me.

(tru confession: when i first drank rum i drank it with TAB!!!1 LOLOLOLLLOOOOOLLLL!!! probably why i hated rum for long time??!)

(uhh, that makes me seem v v old, doesn't it. but i guess i am, so....)

i think we had a different kind of pusser's before, but not that variety. jergins, do you recall? i think the name is off-putting.
