Manhattans are easy to make and delicious.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

Homer- What's in an "Old Fashioned"? I feel like I want one tonight.

It's basically a Manhattan with a cherry, orange slice, and sugar muddled in the glass. Bartenders generally do not enjoy making them.

How do they feel about making a Manhattan? Seems to the lay-drunkard that it would be about on par with a martini.

Manhattans are easy. Bourbon and sweet vermouth on the rocks.

Most martinis are fine...a few extra steps but as long as 50 different people aren't drinking them, it's not a big deal.

Yeah, I make them at home but just wondered how much the bar tender hates me for ordering them.

Yeah #### that guy.

It was pretty funny watching him show everybody in his group his cool drink. In 15 minutes I think he had 2 sips of it.

Here's what's really funny. The wife and I had just come from a 50th birthday party from my former principal. He and his wife (as well as his wife's twin sister) were all born in the same month in 1964. The theme of the party was "1964".

So afterwards we go to the bar across the street from where the party was. I'm dressed like a background actor on Mad Men. Then the 25 year old knucklehead orders his Old Fashioned. I was hammered and offended. I was tempted to take the drink from his hand and say something like "thanks for the drink, kid. I'm sure the bartender can whip you up a Fireball spritzer."

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Looks like I'm going to be on the local news today. Someone tried to grab a HS girl off a nearby trail (Homer ), so they are doing a story on it, and interviewed me.

Not to poop in your cheerios, but they always look for the dumbest people to interview.

But she was so sincere when she knocked on my trailer door!

Do you look like Richard Sherman? Maybe they thought you'd give a similar, hilarious WWE-style interview.

I thought about that, and about trying to drop in a FFA reference, but only immediately afterward.

Nicely done GB.

 

[BigJohn]

Homer>HI!!!

Not a big mixed drink guy. When I go out, it's beer. Always. What can I order so I don't look like a dope that'll cost me less than 10 bucks.

TIA.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I had a "get off my lawn" episode today. Kind of.

I can't remember if I posted or not but some of the neighborhood boys have decided to make a fort in the woods. Out of the tall grass clippings from last fall. In plain sight from my window. I find that annoying but, whatever. Then I saw one kid chopping down small trees with a hatchet. Now I'm more than annoyed but decided to just monitor the situation. Then today there are 4 of them in the woods and one of the kids has this exact axe and is trying to chop down a tree. This thing was about as big as him and he's really struggling with it. Oh and another kid is standing about right next to the tree he is trying to chop down. I felt like I had to say something then. From the fence like I yell "hey, does your Dad know you have that axe?". The kid that is a slight slip from being disemboweled says "this, yeah" and holds up the hatchet. So I walk down my path and say "no, that big axe in that kid's hands. How old are you kid?" He replies 11. :mindblown: "Put that thing away before somebody gets killed. Stop chopping down these trees to. :toughlook:. To his credit, the kid replied "yes sir". I checked up on them a couple of times over the next few hours and didn't see the thing out again or them chopping down any more trees.

Good story Bob.

 

[Annyong]

From the fence like I yell "Can I axe you a question?".

What I would've gone with.

Kid was like this, oh, uh yeah. So I put a little more emphasis on my words to make sure the little #### knew, that I knew, he was full of ####.

ETA

I also said, "I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just don't want anybody getting killed". Then I snapped the kid's neck.

Maybe ill just teach them to mix our drinks.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I think you handled it well. Kids can be dumb, and sometimes they need an adult to set them on the right path. There's a good way to go about it. I'm on a much lower level, dealing with my daughter and fellow 3-4 year olds, but if I'm watching my daughter and some other kid is doing something stupid, I'll gently try to dissuade them. It takes a village and all that.

Not to doubt my favorite bartender, but isn't a true/original old fashioned without fruit?

I've always made them by muddling a sugar cube, a couple dashes of bitters and a spash of soda water and then bourbon/rye.

My favorite bartender in Cincy adds his touch by toasting an orange peel and adding it to the glass at the end

Pretty close. The one kid is known to like making fires too. I don't know WTF these parents are.

[Tiger Fan]

Bob's story made me think of this.

Over Thanksgiving we were on a layover in Nashville (I think) and they have a nice area in the SW terminal where they have slides and a play area set up for kids to blow off some energy after being cooped up in a plane for a few hours. It basically consisted of 10-15 kids or so on 3 or 4 different structures. I let the kids go run in and get in the mix and I stand off to the side making sure they behave with kids they don't know. My boys are 2.5 at the time, and I see this kid who was easily 5 or 6 was just pretending like everything was his and was pushing and pulling my boys. I didn't say anything at first b/c I wanted to see how my guys reacted (they play very rough with each other, so I was curious how they'd handle it). There was another mom there who saw the boy doing this to my kids and others, and I kind of gave her the "I got this" look.

Basically, they were a little taken back, but kept getting back on the slide (good for them). After about 3 times of the big kid pulling one of my son's leg, I went up to him and very sternly said "You better not push or pull anyone again". He got down and walked away (I tried to follow to see where his parent(s) were, but couldn't piece it together.

Bottom line is, this kid was a d-bag (as much as a 5-6 year old can be), but it's probably the parents fault for (a) not watching him or (b) watching him and not saying anything to him when he was pushing or pulling.
