It used to be great to have liquor-laden meetings. Now we're sipping ersatz-coffee and water. I blame it on the women. Don't get me wrong, I love women, but I'm for separate workplaces.

That article was written by some fedora-wearing Mad Men fan who knows nothing of the true meaning of drink. A martini doesn't need an article. That it's become little more than a fashion accessory is one of the greatest crimes of this dried-up era.

The greatest crime ever committed against the Martini is when people started calling every foo-foo drink they could pour into a cocktail glass a martini.

Which is why I prefer a Manhattan to a Martini.


The Manhattan remains true, pure, and uncorrupted.

I disagree. It was when someone decided to make it with vodka.

That was the desecration.

Look at that crap:


A glass full of something I will do tomorrow morning, called, with a straight face, a "Martini".

This is why all I order at bars is either straight bourbon or beer. It's hard to fuck those up.

Looks like what happened when the kids in my neighborhood organized an all you can eat ice cream buffet (each kid brought a half gallon of a different flavor, and one guy brought syrup). Naturally some kids ate more than they could keep down.

I went to a "franchise bar" type place recently to meet up with some people from work (who also chose the place). I ordered a martini, and the waitress asks me what kind of vodka I want. #1 way to get me fired up, right there. I swear, I've given the martini lecture to so many barmaids and bartenders, I should just get it printed on business cards. And don't even try asking for a gibson martini, they look at you like you're from another planet.

Yeah! And how come when I go to the pub and say "I'll have a stein of mead" they look at me wierd?

[Jiggers McCoy]

I think they expected you to say "flagon."

[John Barleycorn]

Where I'm from, we drink mead by the horn.
