I went to a bar last night and decided to try a Big Blueberry martini. Best one I've ever had! Smirnoff Blueberry Twist vodka, white cranberry juice, splash of lime juice, and a handful of blueberries at the bottom to absorb some of the alcohol for a tasty treat at the end. Man was it good. Along with the second one, the bartender gave me what was left over from both in a double shot glass, and it was enough to almost fill the glass again.

Dude...just a heads up...if I ever hear you order one of those at Trax...we're gonna have some problems!

Well the consider it done. They're stronger, they get you shitfaced faster, and they taste so much better than beer (and I like to think I drink tasty beers), or scotch, or burbon, etc... .

Sorry, but everyone knows you only drink to show how macho you are, not to enjoy it or get drunk.

A few of us will talk wine for days, but we'll get overrun in this thread by the people that are threatened by whipped cream.

Any recommendations for an inexpensive end-of-summer rosé?

I'm not the biggest fan of rose but here's a wine tv (good resource on wine, check out other episodes including one with the Great One) episode on rose. The host, Gary, is sometimes out there on how he describes the wine/nose (IMO) but he's seems pretty down to earth and a huge Jets fan. Dunno what's available in your area but don't try limit yourself to French rose, try some from Oregon and Washington.

Look towards Cote Du Rhone. M. Chapoutier does a really nice greache/syrah rose blend for under $20.

I'm about halfway there, so it counts I round up!

*sigh* Another 18-year old freed from home and set loose upon the world. With beer.

They grow up so fast.

Thanks, guys.

It is hard to go wrong with most mainstream roses from California. The thing is great grapes are not needed to make a good rose, the vintner can pull grapes from anywhere they grow. It really doesn't matter so don't overpay. The above prices are fine, but anything north of that starting to become a stretch. If anyone tries to wrap it as "upscale" than they are just playing on people's sense and need to feel exclusive. Rose is one of the few wines that I think in all seriousness can be screw-topped at no big loss to flavor.


To me it always tastes like kool-aid, gives me a shitty headache. Some of my friends can put it in a cup and guzzle it. To each, their own.

That's why I'm a fan of the French when it comes to Rose. It's far too easy for the kool-aid analogies to come out when we're talking about a new-world wine.

Unless it's beaujolais Nouveau.

Lindemans Framboise. Raspberry Lambic. Delicious.

Both of those are beautiful.

Is this the food thread too or did that not happen?

Lindemans makes some fantastic old-style beers. Their Kriek Lambic is awesome and is my favorite.

Maybe I'll track some of that down. All I know is the Framboise was delicious. I would have that again in a heart beat.

Just checking in...

Getting ready for tonight, eh?

We need a hungover thread. I was drunk earlier. Sobered up to drive back to my parents' house. Now I'm hungover. Ugh.

Juokaa hyvät ihmiset juokaa!!!
Humalassa on hyvä,olla!!!!
Marja on parasta mitä maailma in minulle tarjonnut!!!!!!!!!!

Suomi Finland Perkele.

Read my mind Ralph, though I'm more an Endless War fan.

This song saved my life!!!!

As far as I know, there's no video for KOHTA EI NAURA ENÄÄ JEESUSKAAN, one of my favorites.

BTW, Jep, what the hell does that mean? The best I can come up with is "Entry no laugh only Jesus-tower" which, while entertaining, doesn't really make sense, even by the standards of Finnish metal.

I think we've established the basis of your problem. Refer to Dr. Nilan for treatment options...

Soon nobody laughs,not even Jesus himself!

You're a gem.

Given how drunk they tend to be that might have been what they were actually saying.

Jep, take two albums of Impaled Nazarene and call me in the morning. I recommend All that you Fear and Absence of War Does Not Mean Peace. All that you Fear has Armageddon Death Squad on it.

Jesus Tower is a serious edifice.

This also helps if your heart is broken:

Are all Finns this sensitive when they're heartbroken?

No

It is just me and my obsession about Marja.
I would give my unborn child if we could work this out with her!

I prefer drunken screaming Finnish rage, initiate Rotten Sound protocol.

Moonsorrow and Tenhi for me, thanks. Oh, and large doses of Insomnium.

Off all the boards I frequent, the Finnish metal thread breaks out here due to a threadjack. I like it here.

I'm too drnk to drive home. This scks.

And too drunk to hit the 'u' key.

Awesome.

Edit: The drunk thread is by far my favorite place on the internet.

How could I forget Swallow the Sun? Silly me.

Good God. It's 2:30 in the afternoon and I am still drunk from last night. I stopped drinking at 10:30. I can't imagine how high my blood alcohol content was.

Needs more Finntroll.

There has never been a recorded instance of anything needing Finntroll.

I find your lack of faith in Sed's metering devices disturbing.

Dude, what's it been months? You are too good for her.

You've never heard Finntroll. Be thankful for this.

Oh - we can fix that.



Fucking ridiculous - sounds like shit they'd listen to on the Pequod.

There was absolutely no call for that. Fucking polka metal.

Oh, don't be so serious. Even your boys Slayer say that their schtick is a bit of an act. Finntroll is good fun.
