Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
Remember those x-ray glasses that seem to consist of red-feathers as lenses?
And spud-guns? They don't make them anymore.
Started off with Cutty Sark blended whiskey, then had Guinness Special Export Stout, moved onto the Bushmills 1608 and may finish with a Basil Hayden bourbon or return to the Bushmills, but this time their 16 year old expression.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
The Kass article was pretty good. The Sixfinger jingle was a real ear worm and this probably accounted for many of its sales, despite the inclusion of the interjection "man alive!" which was antiquated even at the time and which I had to have explained to me when I first heard it. Of course, you don't have to take my word for it. Voila:

You guys just don't know what you missed.
The Secret Sam, mentioned by Kass, was seriously bitchin'. As I recall, it had a "camera" built into the frame (the mind reels at what a similar toy might record these days), as well as a plastic knife and a gun of some sort, and the interior contained many different secret compartments and hiding places. You couldn't really do anything with it - it kind of stood out on the playground - but if nothing else you could bash little iGents with it and make them cry. That was fun.
EDIT: Of course Youtube also has the Secret Sam commercial for your viewing pleasure, complete with Jr-iGents doing their Jr-iGent thing. I recall this briefcase, but there was another, a James Bond model, that was more for concealment. Our options were limitless back then.
I found a ridiculous deal on 18 year-old Jameson Limited Reserve at a hole-in-wall liquor store, and I snapped up a case. There will be less than a case remaining after tonight.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
This thread really has turned into the one of choice for comedy seekers. There's an exceptionally high level of unintentional, unconscious funniness -- which is the best kind. Everyone, please keep the jokes coming.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
No weeds, smoothies or anything remotely healthy after dinner this evening. A friend stopped by today and gave me a new bourbon to sample, Makers Mark 46. Regular MM isn't bad, is always consistent, and makes a decent pour if nothing more interesting is at hand. Looking forward to finding out what they did with this one.
Bourbon, that very American drink.

I thought stinging nettles needed to be extensively boiled before eating?

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
^I've had similar experiences with that cruel mistress Absinthe.
Currently enjoying a Nespresso ristretto.
Nespresso machine bought for the missus's birthday, just as she has read somewhere that coffee effects the matabolism and makes you put on weight. So looks like its my machine, plus the Nespresso club membership and 280 capsules of the complete range. Its 1PM and I'm already on my fourth espresso sized cup. By 5PM I reckon I will be wired and only whisky and bourbon will bring me down enough to sleep.
Ever been in one of those Nespresso shops, full of earnest young men all wanting to be George Clooney. Seriously.

Re: What are you drinking at the moment ?
All the workplaces these days have those bloody Nespresso - impossible to get a decent strong cup in my experience and they are like cheap printers - you pay through the nose for ink refills (coffee) forever.
