Next summer??? DH will be so disappointed.

I am disappointed because I love Harry Potter.

 

[eatmypixiedust]

true, but ya have to be offensive to go there!!

hehehehehehe

Is that how you got that scrolling tag?

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Thats fine, there is no need to drink for the sake of drinking!

they do have "ladies" drinks! DW likes the long island ice tea, once in a while.

I have never had one, but a grasshopper is supposed to be kind of a light type of drink.

of course...the ol' RUM is the sailors favorite!!!

hehehehehe

Eeeeesh! A Long Island iced tea was the first alcoholic drink I ever tried, upon my cousin's recommendation. We were 19, and it was legal to drink in MN at 19 then (not sure if it still is.) The bar had a happy hour two-for-one special, and instead of each of us getting one drink, my cousin insisted we both get two, so we did.

I took one sip, gagged, and told her, "I don't think there's any tea at all in here!"

She laughed so hard she about fell off her barstool.

So she drank all four, and I switched to Lime Vodka sours. Yum! Fruity drinks are for me!

The scrolling tags remind me of those advertising boards or the scrolling text you read at the bottom of CNN.

Offensive? I thought you just had to be offended. Which is why I haven't posted there.

Guess I'm not really the offensive type either...

I never had a long island iced tea. I did have a kahlua mudslide at TGIF once and it made me sick.

DId you ever have a "spodie"?? (I'm not sure how it's spelled, it's a college thing.) It's just like that, lots of different kinds of alcohol thrown together... only without all the fruit, just alcohol!

Never heard of it.

I don't know if I've ever had gin...

I like vodka, because you can't really taste it!
Ooo, and margaritas. I guess that's tequila. Vodka is daquiris. Those are yummy, too.

Hmm, they used to call that a "suicide"

Great now I'm craving something tropical and fruity and complete with those fancy umbrellas.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Ahhhh. Is there anything that can't be found on wikipedia???

Every time we go to DL I want to hit Rita's Baja Blenders and get a big fat margarita, it sounds soooo good! But we're always with the kids and it just doesn't seem like a good idea in the middle of the day with them; and in the evenings (post dinner) I guess I'm not in a drinking mood (again with the kids), so I never have.

Maybe if I ever take a solo trip... But I am a lightweight as alcoholic drinks are concerned. When I go out with the girls, we all just get one drink. (They must all be lightweights, too!)

I always get the Tropicool (virgin margarita) when I'm DCA. It tastes really good and I like the strawberry one.

Is that from your college days?

The article says "spodi" is a Northwest term for it.

 

[eatmypixiedust]

I read that they are getting rid of Jack Sparrow at DL That sucks! I got to take a pic with him at MHT and he acted just like Captain Jack. It wasn't the ones seen in the photos that most DIS members have posted. Still, he's so popular and I don't think they should send him to Davy Jones's locker!

no, college came after my "fun" times..heheheheheh

I think that is a more party type of drink, and I havn't heard the term until about four or five years ago. I think that Wiki might be a little in error.

the first drink on ships to prevent skurrvy was grog, the traditional mix.

it WAS rum, with any kind of fruit juice available, and water.

and also they had one called bumboo, it had spice in it (to kill the taste!)


I tried some authentic grog during my navy days, during a "birthday" celebration of the navy. No wonder the pirtes were in a bad mood!

Do you mean he won't be making appearances as a live character? I don't know why they would do that, since he's so popular.

Me either. He always attracts crowds and is a big hit
