As I’ve experienced first hand, interesting observations can be made while being drunk. I’m not talking about the obvious stuff here, like finding hilarity in the bouncing of a tennis ball. I’m referring to things such as gravity awareness. Gravity can so easily be taken for granted while engaged in everyday activities such as walking. But when drunk, a certain sensitivity to this primal force of nature arises from the backlogged basement of the brain.

Have you ever seen asparagus wearing helmets?
Sunday, April 19th, 2009Drink: Jack & Amy
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009Rocks glass
Rocks
Bourbon (Jack Daniels or Maker’s Mark)
Amaretto
Make a typical bourbon on the rocks, but put a splash of Amaretto in the top. To make this drink correctly, you should then stir it with your index finger, and suck the finger clean while making loud smacking sounds.
I had some Amaretto left over from a recipe, and couldn’t figure out how else to drink it — the stuff is so damn sweet. I found that mixing it with bourbon cut the sweetness and made an interesting drink.
Up (Yours) The Irish!
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009It’s been said that St. Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland in the fifth century. To make up for it, the Irish have been drinking until they see snakes ever since.
It has also been said that an Irish man would step over the bodies of twelve naked women to get to a bottle of whisky; my personal limit is five.
Troll Troubles
Saturday, March 14th, 2009It’s not easy
They never said it was, but it’s not
This skin I’m in
It’s not like yours
Memories leave a bad taste
Like old meat caught in my back teeth
Talk to me
Don’t talk to me
Don’t look at me that way
I need another drink
Trolls are sad drunks…

Trolls are sad drunks.
My challenge to you: Write a poem about the sad, sad, drunken troll. Come on. You know you want to. Besides, it might cheer him up. And a little FYI, stories are acceptable in lieu of poems.
Little Miss Sunshine: the drink, not the movie
Friday, March 13th, 2009My favorite Margarita. Instead of using an orange-flavored liqueur, this drink gets its lift from fresh orange juice. I serve it rocks, no salt. You can also shake it with ice and serve it up.
Little Miss Sunshine
1 part Sauza Gold tequila
2 parts Margarita mix
1 part fresh orange juice
Mix; chill; drink; repeat; sing; mumble; sleep.
