Smartie's Bar & Grill #62

I bought a bottle or this at a harvest festival today. Sure doesn't taste like vodka, kinda like tequila. I'm going to use it for bloody Marys.

Mornin. What's sober?

 

There is a huge trend today dealing with Flavored liquor.It's a fad and it's
WaY out of control.Now even conservative Bourbon distillers are offering
flavors like Cinammon and maple syrup.There's a new one and I can't recall the
dopey new flavor.I buy 3 or 4 different Vodka and my cheap choice is PINNACLE
which is less than half the price of CIROC { both from France } and CHOPIN,
GRAY GOOSE and my favorite BELVEDERE.I also Buy RUSSIAN STANDARD.
All good vodka.But for the price Pinnacle is best.Vodka can get pretty expensive.
I always but a pint of the cheapest vodka for use as a cleaner.Mix half and half
with water and put in a bottle and use to clean dirt off my face after a motorcycle trip.
Wipe off stuff and even on a Q-tip to clean off the tongue.
Pinnacle has different flavors.They have a " Whipped Marshmellow " flavored
Vodka.I know there's " a sucker born every minute ".Y'know like those women
who insist on a vacation to hit the Tourist shops and buy memento .I'm reminded of the
seldom mentioned Hippie Cult favorite - JoE - { 1970 } Starring Peter Boyle
as a hard hat bigot who Hates them Hippies.He tells his new bigot friend about
his wife and Tourist Shops ... " I keep tellin' May Lou not to buy that stuff.It's Junk."
But does she Listen ... NO.
Same with flavored drinks.I guess whatever floats yer boat.Keep drinkin' dat crap and
you'll be relegated to sittin' in a bathtub full of bubbles and rubber duckies and a floatable
pacifier.

 

I like it because it tastes good in bloody Mary.

 

I've noticed a distinct trend hereabouts.Why not just call the new Smarty Bar & Grill
- Smarty's Jukebox and Flavored Cracker Barrel - I mean ...
Why not. Pickin' and a Grin'n and Hoot'n and a Hollerin aren't exactly on any
menu.Last I checked.

 

Of course how remiss of me.It would indubitably require the framed picture
of Annie Edison Taylor { The first person to survive going over Niagara Falls
in a barrel } in stated Cracker Barrel Jukebox enabled Smartie Bar.
I, too, have survived numerous near plight in Smarty's udder Bar & Grills.
Thankfully not dating back to 1901 like Annie and her barrel.

 

Have a blessed day

Thank you for buyin. For awhile Smartie disappeared and let the bar close. So sad. We had to convince her to come b - a - c - k!

 

I dunno ... is it just me or maybe a grainy photo.But dint that guy like forget to
wash his hands and face before having supper and then a singing gig.
Kinda looks like he's been sloppin' the hogs back on the farm all day.
I never saw Fred Astaire look like dat.Not even onced.

 

Um w/o looking up the answer who was First to open up a store in China :

Burger King
McDonalds
Kentucky Fried Chicken

 

KFC? But was it chicken?

 

That is correct.Asians consume more chicken than most countries.
Unless you think chop suey is more often beef or pork.
I like Pork Chinese cuisine.But I don't do Chinese.
I guess in my dreams I have a preference.

 

Whatcha dreamin bout? Puppies and kittens?

 

Nice HOT day at the State Fair of Texas. 91 degrees and it was super crowded. People gathered under shade trees like cattle. LOL

Fun, fun... tired, tired.

 

What the Hay.I thought State Fair were traditionally in late summer.
This is Now Fall.What kind of screwball schedule do yer dallas boss'
have you on. What's next ... have Christmas in July in April.

 

There is nothing nice about 91 degrees unless it's been 132 degrees for the past week.

Still... speaking of still. I have a cousin who knew this guy in McCurtain county that had a still. His
mail man, all men are mail, was born in Minnesota. His wife had a friend that had a neighbor,
who had a friend, that had a fantastic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Well, as luck would have it,
she mis-read the recipe as receipt. Any time we see that we think we're about to be audited by the
SRI, I mean IRS. Maybe I'm dyslexic. Or is it something else? I'm not sure. At any rate she had
this Ford truck that her brother in law souped up. Not souped as in chicken noodle or stew. Come
to think of it his youngest brother stewed about chicken noodle soup every time his mom made it.
Some people like to make it. Not that I mean making it on a date. We all like that. Right? Any
waze. Did you notice how I spelled "ways". It was a joke. There might be a word for that. Do you
know what that word is? I don't. It isn't malapropism. That's a Yogi Berra thing-a-ma-bob. Oh,
that reminds me. Bob was the name of the cousin, twice removed, of Gertrude's mail man's
neighbor that lived in Salem, Portland. Did you know that Salem has a Craig's list? They do. In
fact I saw a refrigerator for sale. Not sure why it was for sale. Maybe they needed the cash.
It might have been an upgrade. The fridge, that's what we call them in OK, was a Maytag. Would
a company that specializes in washing machines be an upgrade from a fridge that was a Hot
Point. Would you buy a fridge with the name Hot Point? As luck would have it, my mom told
me to...

Just a minute...

I need to take this.

Barkeep! Two more Long Island Teas for me and I'll have whatever she's having.

Make that a double, too.

Is it warm in here or is it just the heat. Speaking of heat, has anyone been to the
Texas State Fair today?

There it goes again. I really need to take it.

Wait a minute! Are those pants chained to Pool Table 3? How come there's a
table 3. I only see 2 pool tables.

Did I tell you about the time. There it goes again. It might be Prunette.

Is it hot in here?

 

Looks great - I like it hot too. I missed the fair this year.

 

Out of Curiosity I need an explanation.Whis is this Pop Stand
ALWAYS The Top Thread in - Member Casual Chat - ?. Even when other threads are
much more current.I thought the status of a Thread was contingent upon how
current.
I think I smell Favoritism.

 

I think it's called 'sticky' Fool. They stick it to the top. There are other stickies in other sections. Calm down, dear.

And the State Fair ALWAYS starts in late Sept. And it's usually hot. (96 today)

Now hush, the Cowboys are fixin to beat New England.

 

I don't doubt you as much find yer rather remedial replys TOO scripted.
Lacking what patriots or good americans need most at this precipice of
our awakening.The need for bold honest forethought.I don't cotton or
respond to talking pts.I don't need likes or dislikes as a matter of being
popular.I am what I am.I know myself and what constitutes truth and the
American way.Which is under direct assault as I write.
Sometimes it is a curse to be TOO popular.Seldom the opposite.
Many a Grandmom lived to see 100 yrs. in Peace and harmony.
I do not care to be popular in order to be liked.
Since in todays world Popular is often so close to sin it's like a
blood relative come alive around All Saints Day.

 

91 degrees in TX? What's the humidity?
