Drinking question...

Useless. Without. Pictures. ;D

 

15-20 friends went out with me for birthday drinking last week. We alternated beer with jager shots, and when the bar ran out of jager we got into the vodka.

Five hours into it, we were drawing up plans to invade and annex a neighboring county.

Instead, we cabbed en masse to an IHOP, where the manager looked at our group and said (and I quote), "I don't fucking think so."

We sat in the parking lot for 20 minutes, debating whether to go back in and start trouble (end result: Trip in Paddy Wagon) or just call it a night (end result: really bad hangover, but at least it's not in a jail cell).

We opted to call it a night. What a bunch of pussies we are.

 

Seriously, dude. You needed to storm that IHOP like it was the Bastille.

 

Try a "Guinnesso" ... a pint of Guinness with a shot of espresso dropped to the bottom.

 

Why would you ruin a perfect pint with espresso?

 

Yeah, that sounds gross.

 

I wondered the same thing when I had my interview here. It was at a pub and the Editor, to play a joke on me, told the bartender to do one up for me. I paid the consequences a few hours later. But I got the job, so I had that going for me.

 

I was once barred from an entire country a long time ago. A group of friends (the mid-'70s kind who had no qualms about letting their friends drive drunk and, in fact, thought it quite amusing to do so) rampaged through western New York, from Syracuse to Niagra Falls in a beat-up Covair, and arrived before dawn only to be told by the Canadian border patrol agent that we wouldn't be allowed in because "nothing good would come from it." He told us his shift was due to end in another hour. however, and suggested a diner where we could drink some coffee before trying again later.

 

I love him telling you to try again later. God bless Canuckistan.

 

Wait, doing a nasty shot helped you get a job? So if I do a cement mixer shot, does that mean I'm good enough to work at the Plain Dealer?

 

Ummm ... sure. Do the Cement Mixer. Make sure to swirl it around in your mouth, too.

 

I prefer Irish Car Bombs, Guinness with a shot of Jameson dropped in.
