White zinfy makes me think of Riunte ("on ice, that's nice") or maybe one of the malt liquor and lemonade thingys.

I confess I don't get the marinated, grilled veal joke.:confused:

What a bunch of horseshit. Beer has it's place, as does liquor and wine. If I'm sitting outside at a cafe on a 90 degree afternoon, I don't want a fucking martini or a scotch. I want a big, refreshing glass of very good beer. Booze just doesn't refresh, which is why I wait until the evening for it.


We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As for Andy - he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer.

Mojitos?
 

Yes. My local liquor store keeps them on hand, I assume to keep the middle-and-high schoolers from shoplifting the good stuff.

Though I gather Mike's Hard Lemonade is cooler 'cause the name sounds tougher.

It's still a powerful song, I agree. It seems odd that it was written by the same sentimentalist who wrote "Sugar Mountain." I suppose they won't be singing "Rockin' in the Free World" at any Girl Scout campfires, though.

There's a very moving moment in "Love to Burn" on Weld when Neil's voice breaks --- it sounds a bit like a sob --- when singing "Why'd you ruin my life? / Where you takin' my kid? / And they hold each other saying: / How did it come to this?" Two of Neil's sons, one by a prior relationship, suffer from cerebral palsy. That little moment is the only illustration I can think of why "recorded live" isn't any oxymoron.

Um, actually, I was serious (though I was talking about her interview of W's father). I heart Katie.

Mojitos?
 

Cool. Stephen King in defense of beer.

Mojitos?
 

Some places.

I think the days of Bartles and James have been supplanted by (in ascending chronological order): Zima, Jack Daniels cocktails, cider, and now, malt liquor in a white-person-acceptable form (a.k.a. hard lemonade or Smirnoff Ice"). Maybe next they'll add some flavor and extra alcohol to goat piss and call it Arctic Ice or something like that.

Mojitos?
 

She was talking about her friend liking weak or sweet drinks like light beer or zin--therefore, my suggestion she also try a sloe gin fizz or pina colada. You can lay down your sword now--I'm not insulting good beer.

Mojitos?
 

I'll take any opportunity to swat Sebby on the wrist with my ruler, even if it requires misreading another's post to do it.

I knew you were sincere about Katie, but I did think you were kidding about GHWB and the softballs.

Mojitos?
 

I thought you might've but I didn't know if you hosers were allowed to drink non-canadian beers. I heard it was against uh against Canadian Criminal Code or something. OK, uh, like when you find a mouse in a bottle of Elsinore beer that you buy at a beer store, eh? And I heard that when that happens you get your beer free. Like there's legal precedence set in cases in law, eh?

C(This movie was shot in 3B - three beers - and it looks good, eh?)tD

Doesn't Neil suffer from something himself? Is it epilepsy? Has anyone read that recent book about him - Shaken or something like that?

Mojitos?
 

Bringing us full circle back to Coors Light, eh?

Neil Young has an unbearable voice though--wobbly, thin--and I don't give a crap that he didn't suck in CSNY a hundred years ago--so, as with Bob Dylan, I cannot listen to the sound long enough to take in his actual lyrics.

Beer.
 

For beer, try Canada. Thunder Bay. Waterloo Dark. Whistlers. Even their swilly, cheap beers (Molson, Moosehead, LaBatts) are twice the quality of Heinekin.

Yes, but would you date a pastor? My friend Missy suggested I consider that you would.

Mojitos?
 

Does anyone drink this stuff, and its brethren like Skyy Ice and Bacardi Gold?

I always assumed that these products were solely created to circumvent the hard-liquor-advertising ban on television. "Hey, that malt beverage looks just like Bacardi. I think I'll have a bacardi and coke."

Mojitos?
 

ewwww Genny Screamers. In the green can. That'll give you the shits for sure. Have you ever seen the "beautiful" Genessee River from whence they get the water for that swill? Did I mention the nearby Kodak plant? My grandmother drank Genny (not Screamers though) and it preserved her well until the cancer was finally able to develop an immunity to that toxic waste and get a toehold. Her sister, my great aunt, drank Blatz. Fucking A. My mother, bless her bitch ass, drinks Schmidts (you know, like in Grumpy Old Men). My family is fucked.

Mojitos?
 

I loved wine coolers when I was 18, and my mother would have groceries delivered to my dorm room. She would always include at least 2 four-packs. Good times.

Now, I think the kids drink that hard lemonade swill.

Discussing the relative journalistic merits of morning "news" show hosts is like comparing vintages of white zinfandel. It's their job to introduce a still-groggy America to the latest diet fads and "Survivor" dropouts, and to dial the phones to Rather/Jennings/Brokaw when something like 9/11 happens.

What Couric does, she does well. If she hit people hard in interviews, the entire format would die. The nation gets enough controversy between 9 a.m. and midnight.

Mojitos?
 

Oops. :oops:

Sorry, I misread.

I once overheard someone ordering white zin, on ice, with a slice of lemon. It took all I had not to start laughing uncontrollably.

It's all about a cute Russian who can win - http://www.mariaworld.net/photos.htm (tennis fan page photo galleries). And, she's hockey star fucking age right now.

Mojitos?
 

That's okay. Come to think of it, I think *all* beer smells like urine, including the good stuff, so I can't imagine actually drinking it.

Now, you can be pissed off at me. :)

Dad drank Schmidt's when he couldn't get Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Mojitos?
 

My god, sis, I didn't realize you posted here!

Mojitos?
 

Most of the people who drink that stuff aren't aware that it's malt liquor. They think it's Bacardi + mixer or Smirnoff + mixer. They don't realize that the tax on a drink like that (actual booze + mixer) prevents its production...

Good for Bacardi/Smirnoff for taking advantage of these morons. I applaud it. Just like I applaud GNC. I get mad when reasonable people are taken advantage of, but I'm fine with screwing over the one's who deserve it...

Mojitos?
 

Yeah, but she's so gummy!

I attended a cocktail function recently where a guest requested a glass of zin. The server asked, "now, you know it's red, right?"

The guest was so horrified by the question, she spoke with the bar manager. (Apparently the server had worked at an Applebee's before working at the club.)

E/O

Mojitos?
 

Deleted double post.

My next screen name will be Could Not Connect. That's not deceptively similar, is it?

Mojitos?
 

I disagree. I'd like to get hit right between the eyes with the controversy first thing in the AM and get it over with.

Couric relates every single topic to the subject of children and household issues. I think she alienates all viewers except stay at home moms, who's intelligence she insults by assuming the onyl thing they've the capacity to care about is home and child reaering.

I'm not asking Katie to become an investigative journalist - I'm just advocating that she respect the audience a bit more.

S(and the same goes for her late night counterpart, Leno - which poll told him Americans hate sarcasm and irony?)D

Mojitos?
 

I'm not sure I understand the story. The guest requested
zin (didn't specify red or white) and the server thought the guest did not know that the zin being served was the much more palatable red variety so the guest was offended? Or the guest wanted white zin, asked for "zin", and the server thought the guest did not know white zin is "red" (pink) and not yellow?

Mr. Kiss likes red zin from time to time. It is amazing how many servers in restaurants with wine lists (including a wine bar!!!! hire new help!!!!!) know nothing about wine and say something like, "You mean the pink kind, right?"

Mojitos?
 

At one point in my childhood, my father drank this, but in cans (then I think the price went up):

Zin is red.

White zin is an abomination.


Edited to add: this happened at a private club and the person he addressed (not me) chairs the wine committee.

Mojitos?
 

Given her ratings, she can't be insulting them too much.

Mojitos?
 

Exactly.


In other liquor news, my sister recently spotted Segram's Gin 'n' Juice (in many flavors) in a convenience store. She was tempted to buy some just to see what Segrams thought gin 'n' juice was.

Mojitos?
 

Perhaps next they will release a convenience store version of syzzurp.

Mojitos?
 

No, in Colorado they call it Rocky Mountain Deer piss. There's no goat piss in it at all.

Mojitos?
 

The insult of insults is that there is Coors Light - which might as well be water. It tastes like NOTHING.

Give me a Woodchuck any day!

:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Mojitos?
 

Total agreement. I was given no option but Coors at a Trivial Pursuit party (the people in Denver know how to party!) and I remarked that I thought that something was wrong with my can of beer as it tasted too much like club soda. I was told in no uncertain terms that that was how it was SUPPOSED to taste. And then everyone proceeded to call it Rocky Mountain Deer piss due to the river the water is drawn from - and yet they still drank it.

Me...I prefer Pyramid Hefeweisen.
