Had some genever in a specialty cocktail of the house. Fuck me if I could tell you what it was called or what else was in it. A damn good cocktail though. If you come to visit, I'll take you to that bar and buy you a drink.

It is a hideous concoction for pussies who want to get drunk without actually tasting good liquor.

That's how I view Blue Motorcycles too. The mere sight of one irritates me.

You have to admit, she's got a good point.

Ethanol in general though tastes bad - it's a mild poison and as humans we are evolutionarily wired to realize that.

What color should a motorcycle be?

Mine is red. I would rather it flat black, but I don't want to spend the money or screw the nice factory finish up.

As long as it's not in a pint glass being held by some dancing dildo at a bar, I don't care.

I remember a cocktail called a Sotted Tart, but I can't remember what's in it. Just that it had so many straws sticking out of it it looked like a porcupine.

Cocktails are gay, thats why they are called cocktails. Its O.K. if your a bird though, more so if you are a well fit one. Booze with just plain juice is O.K. though as long as it is man booze like rye or Scotch or rum but once you involve liqueur you need to hand in your man card.

I have spoken, that is all.

I have fond memories of being given shots of this by very large men with AK47s in Bosnia in the mid 90s. Though the home made hootch that every household seemed to produce, looked nothing like this refined brew.
