The Drink Guy Your Neighborhood Bar Online

Its Monday Again…..

by Glenn on June 28, 2010

Two guys went out into the woods to do a little duck hunting, and while one kept close watch, the other drank a dozen beers. After considerable time passed, a solitary mallard flew over. The sober guy took aim but missed. “Quick!” he shouted to his drunken buddy. “Try and hit that duck!”

The inebriated guy waved his shotgun in the general direction of the sky, pulled the trigger and damned if he didn’t hit the duck.

“That’s incredible!” exclaimed the sober guy.

“Not really,” said the drunk guy. “When there’s a whole fuckin’ flock, you can’t hardly miss!”

One More….

Two executives, Gary and Bill, staggered out of their companies holiday party in New York City. Bill crossed the street, while Gary stumbled into a subway entrance.

When Bill reached the other side he noticed Gary emerging from the subway stairs.

“Where’ve you been?” Bill slurred.

“I don’t know,” replied Gary, “but you should see the train set that guy has in his basement.”

Now This One is Sad and Real, but Funny as Hell

There’s a law on the books in Memphis, Tennessee, whereby a woman is not to drive a car unless a man warns approaching motorists or pedestrians by walking in front of the car that is being driven.

So who gets charged with D.U.I. if the guy has been drinking? Just a thought.

Impaired Judgement

by Glenn on June 25, 2010

Not Sure What To Think

Auckland, New Zealand-A drunk driver trapped after overturning his car cracked open another can of beer while he waited for emergency crews to rescue him, a New Zealand court was told.

Defense lawyer Peter Young said that when Paul Sneddon, 47, found he could not open the doors, “he had nothing else to do at that point, so he had another beer.”

Do I laugh Or Congratulate Him.

Monday Funnies…..

by Glenn on June 22, 2010

Better Late Then Never

A girl says to her boyfriend, “I read a study that said 90 percent of all men masturbate in the shower every morning and the other 10 percent sing.”

“Really?” says the boyfriend.

“Yes, and do you know what song they sing?” asks the girlfriend.

“No.” replies the boyfriend.

“I didn’t think so.”

Another Stupid Drunk

This guy at a restaurant was intoxicated and annoying customers. The manager of the restaurant called the authorities and when the police came, they didn’t arrest him but insisted that he call someone for a ride home, which he did. But when he got home he got to thinking . He decided he was insulted at being thought of as intoxicated and drove himself to the police station where he demanded a breathalyzer test. He failed and was arrested.

Weird Laws

It is illegal to drink beer out of a bucket while sitting on a curb in St. Louis, Missouri.

Eclipse!

by The Drink Guy Team on June 15, 2010

Eclipse, Vampires, Twilight Theme Party AND a Drink Guy Signature Cocktail!

Eclipse! Vampires, werewolves, romance and adventure! The Drink Guy team is counting down!

Well, Lynn is counting down. Glenn is creating a signature cocktail for the occasion, likely so he can get through it all and not smack her.

Hey! Lynn here!! Twilight rocks!! OK, yes, I am a fan…OK, I am addicted. And your point is?

Just because I spent an hour using four different programs to create…this!!

Edward JAcob Twilight

How cool is that!?!? Yah, OK, if any of you know of a Twilight Addiction Support Group, send me the information…Cheryl and I will go, right after we see Eclipse!!! Sandra, do you need us to pick you up on our way? Of course we should likely pick up Diana and Sharon and Tammy and Christine and Louise and and and too lol!  In Love

Alright, back to reality.

If you are a fan, or know any, and you want an excuse for a party, Eclipse is a great one!

Martini CUllen Kiss

A Twilight theme party can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it.

A few movie posters, the movie soundtrack, and some Vampire themed snacks and beverages, to a full blown costume/decorations/impress your friends with the food and drinks blow out!

You can prepare a Vampire Martini, a Bloody Vampire Cocktail, a Cullen Kiss Martini, or (and in my opinion the best choice!) Glenn’s signature Drink Guy cocktail, an Eclipse!

The food options are just as varied, from a simple theme of red and black appetizers (chocolate dipped strawberries, caviar, tapenade , or Twilight Truffles ) to a heartier “Stake” Bites with Bloody Vampire Dipping Sauce or Vampire Bat Wings.

Vampire costumes and decor open up a huge range of possibilities. Creepy bats, spiders, wooden stakes all work. Vampire blood, capes, coffins, red and black everywhere. Let your imagination run free!

Of course, lest we forget, Twilight is above all else, a love story.

Edward Cullen RomeoRed roses, sprinkled petals, silver Volvos and the soft strains of DeBussy playing in the background…perhaps your Eclipse party will be a celebration for two, and maybe, just maybe, you wise gentlemen with a Twilight fan as the love of your life will take the opportunity to wine and dine her Twilight style.

Where ever you fall in the Twilight stratosphere, I hope you enjoy an excuse for some fun!

Now I’m going to call Glenn to pretty please mix up an Eclipse for me, grab my well worn copy of  The Twilight Saga:Eclipse, and happily relax in Forks for the evening!

Bye Bye reality, hello Edward!

Cheers, Lynn

Vancouver Breweries!

by The Drink Guy Team on June 14, 2010

Vancouver, Breweries, and Beer!

Vancouver Breweries…yes, despite the fact that I (Lynn) am not a beer drinker, reading about the specialty microbreweries in Western Canada and the process used, even my interest was peaked! (Especially when I found out there is such a thing as Chocolate Beer!) Granville Island Chocolate Beer Label

Of course, 5 days in Vancouver was not nearly enough, and packing in sight-seeing, wineries and time enjoying the Drink Guy’s wonderful family out there, left us choosing one brewery to tour, for this trip anyway!

Our choice was Granville Island Brewing , a local establishment that advertises themselves as “Canada’s First Microbrewery”. Located in the heart of  beautiful Granville Island, a popular tourist area,  here’s what they have to say:

“When Granville Island Brewing opened our doors in 1984, we believed that British Columbia was ready for a premium, natural, unpasteurized beer similar to the famous German pilsners. And with our first release that same year, Island Lager, that belief was confirmed.”

So a GIB tour it was, my very first brewery tour! Listening to our tour guide explain the process was fascinating, and realizing how much goes into the creation of beer, eye opening!

We actually got to taste two types of barley grains (yuck!) and smell the raw hops (double yuck!). We got to climb around and look into the vats, and ask questions of our very personable and knowledgeable guide, Bob.

Granville Island GIBitter Beer labelBut of course, the highlight for most was the taste testing after!

Bob got us settled in the Taproom, and proceeded to pour out six different varieties of beers to try. Since I only tried one, and I am far from a connoisseur, I’ll let Glenn fill you in on the specifics of each!

However, for the Drink Guy fans and for comic relief in the video, our Drink Guy did deem it necessary for me to try one of the samples, the GIBitters.

The GIBitters is exactly that, bitter! Since there is video footage here of both Glenn and I, and friends we met on the tour trying it, you will quickly figure out that none of us were big fans. And in fact Glenn and his new found friend did require some encouragement from me to get it down! However, a bottle was brought home for Rob, who LOVED it! Likening it to a real IPA, he said if you are a bitters fan, you will love this beer. The limited release for May, get yours while supplies last!

Educational and entertaining, I highly recommend the Granville Island Brewing tour. Running daily, it was a great introduction to the beer making process, and lots of fun! So pull up a stool and enjoy!

Stay tuned for Glenn’s specifics on the taste testing!

Cheers! Lynn
