Mammalian Heat-pads -Those three words alone were worth the read.

wielding it requires a certain amount of dexterity, which in turn requires a very specific remnant of sobriety — not all of it, to be sure, but a certain amount. -This is, in part, why we often see a chronology to the type of drinks someone consumes in a typical evening out at the bar. Cocktails -- Mixed Drinks--Beer -- Shots -- (If you're smart) a plastic bottle of water, if you're really smart you skipped the shots all together even though your best pal from high school is questioning your manliness. "you've changed dude"

Like you said, "Come down off the high-wire,” it says. With pints, flutes and tumblers at our disposal, there’s plenty of derring do to be done a bit nearer to the ground." -It's important to listen to your martini glass.

My thoughts on the cocktail glass to come. I want to think on it. Making cocktails is something I really love and a big part of that is the presentation.

I wasn't thirsty but I sure am now. Nicely done.

Very glad to know that such technical talk can actually still evoke thirst! And glad you enjoyed it.

"even though your best pal from high school is questioning your manliness." So true. Why must pointless pain be the measure of masculinity? It doesn't bode well for the prospects of the gender. If there are transforming voyages of extreme self-discovery to be taken, then surely, there must be better ones than these. But then, we are all at the mercy of our more masochistic friends, are we not?

Thanks for reading!
