Re: “Still, have Merlot, will MacGyver.”

If I didn’t already have a raging case of blog-crush on you, this comment would’ve totally pushed me over the edge!

A Bostonian who speaks of esoteric interwar British naval slang? Looks like I found another blog to follow….

I am a huge fan of drinking alone, but, also, in college I exploded a bottle of red all over my favorite boots because i was trying to open it with a hanger. Yeah, that happened.

Drinking alone can be fun. You just did it wrong! First, better wine needed. Second, real wine glass needed. Also, I think the point of drinking alone is not to finish an entire bottle and get drunk, but to have one (at most two glasses) to relieve stress.

Well now it’s official that TJ’s has the best Three Buck Chuck!

And I don’t doubt that you will take me up on the drinking offer. Email me at tapcat16 (at) hotmail (dot) com, and I’ll send you my gmail address. ;-)

Mom, I believe you. What I was saying was that he was of a time and profession where swearing in front of a lady was “not done”, even (especially?) when said lady was a member of your own family.

But the labels were so whimsical! Well, color me disappointed. Did you try adding bad white wine and then vanilla vodka?

Ken O, dear, we do so seem to clash. I’m not sure what generaliZation you are referring to, but I can assure you that TKOG’s grandfather never swore and he most certainly was a Royal Navy Officer. He did, however, enjoy a jigger of rum, vodka or gin. I know you don’t wear them under that kilt of yours, but your boxers do seem to always be in a twist.

No generalisation is true, not even this one!!

Ok, disclaimer done. In WW2 British naval officers would be expected to be “too much of a gentleman to ever swear in front of a lady”.

[chuckle] I’m the sort of person who drinks most stuff (well except white spirits and cheap [sticker price; things that are on sale are different] wine).

I’ll buy you a virtual cocktail or several (or real ones if we’re meeting physically), as long as we can go to a good beach bar for them!
