What Do You Drink?

Chin! Chin! Druid... LOA

My Dear Lady, might I have the honour of adding you as a friend here? It would seem appropriate as we ahve now toasted each other!

Of course Druid, I considered you as my friend already. LOA

I have added you and it is an honour indeed.
Now I raise a toast to you again, having seen the photo on your profile. Yer a Bonnie Lass Indeed! Blessings to you and to your husband.

I just recieved a bottle of Caol Ila Scotch Whisky. It is an Islay scotch, talk about peat and smoke!! Delicious.

Buckfast is a true medicinal drink. Good for you!!


To all of you and yours good health, good intelligence and good charm.

What do I drink?
Most anything put in front of me.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy! .

Don't know who said it, but I like it!

LOL, sounds like a WC Fields or a Grouch MArx saying, Don't know when they first tried lobotomies?

Yeah!Somehow not surprise by that quote being said probably by that drunk W.C.Fields (what a nose!!!)

Well so much with drinks for me tonight.

I am sipping a "sleepy time" herbal tea. LOA

Apparently this quote has alittle controversy attached to who said it. It is attributed to Tom Wait who used it during a television interview in the 70's , but was thought to have be originally from WC Fields, BUT, it appears it is actually from Dorothy Parker, an American author and poet famous for her wisecracks, wit and alcohol.

It was also made popular on the Dr. Demento show.

Here are the lyrics:

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me then a frontal lobotomy
By Randy Hanzlick

Jimmy and I were brothers.
We went down different paths.
Jimmy always listened to my mother,
And me, I never like to take a bath.

As we grew and tumbled through adulthood
The pressure caused emotional drain.
So now I'm slowly dying in the bottle
and Jimmy has to live with half a brain.

Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.

Jimmy let his troubles drive him crazy.
He never tried to drown it in a drink.
I know that drinking makes my thinking hazy,
But at least I still have brains enough to think.

Jimmy's got a brain that isn't stable.
He doesn't have the sense to say his name.
I'm sorry that his doctor was unable
To remove the proper portion of his brain.

Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.

Funny how the world works.
People can be real jerks.
Some prefer the tension over booze.

Either way it ends the same.
Hard to beat the living game.
Might as well enjoy it while you lose.

When I need a drink I start to shiver
And Jimmy always viewed it with concern.
But I'd rather have cirrhosis of the liver
Than an intellect that's second to a fern.

I wonder if old Jimmy's gonna hear it
When I tell him that his logic wasn't sound.
They'll dose him up on lots of evil spirits
When they take him to the psychiatric grounds.

Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane!

I needed a good laugh thanks for providing it to me!

In the morning, I enjoy a stong coffee (only a few cups mind ye; I'll be jitterin' all day) til about 9:00 a.m. Then I switch to filtered water for the rest of my work day. If the day is stressful I will have a Peppermint, Earl Grey or Camomile in the afternoon.

After work is another story (nae, not every day), I may have a Budweiser or a Vodka, Tonic with a squeeze of fresh lime, Vodka Paralyzer & on verra special occasions Courvossier Napolean Cognac (I thank me Braither for introducing me to this soothing spirit - makes me feel warm & fuzzy ). I do enjoy Merlot, too

I recently discovered a lovely black ale called "1554" by the New Belgium microbrewery (the makers of Fat Tire Ale) near Ft. Collins, CO. I don't know how widespread they will market this ale but it's very tasty.

I've never heard of a black ale before so it was interesting to try it. According to the bottle, I guess they discovered the recipe in an old book, modified the recipe slightly, tried a batch and started making 1554. It's not quite as "chewy" as a Guiness but is a little heavier than a regular ale, smooth and malty.

We brew alot of our own beer so I am interested in trying a recipe for one called "Peek Under Yer Kilt Ale".

Maybe that implies one spends a lot of time on the floor after drinking a few.

I have recently been drinking Crnaberry juice in large quantities tae flush me kidneys. They need a guid overhaul every now and again.
