Sometimes you just need a swift kick in the ....

I won't go into why it's been so long since I last posted. That's for another day, another posting. So here goes nothing.

My first posting was based on a favorite pastime of mine, collecting quotes. Below is a quote from a forgotten but funny FOX show.

A promise to a woman is just a lie that hasn't happened yet.

Unhappily Ever After- 8-16-1998

Why this gem?
Because it's the 350th quote I managed to scribble in my quote book for that year and I really enjoyed watching that show. It was made with the hope that it would become the next Married With Children ...with a twist.

Picture an Al Bundy type but with schizophrenia. Yeah, FOX was taking on the big issues WAY before HOUSE M.D. was a twinkle in the eye of David Shore or while Hugh Laurie was still on the funniest show on BBC One, Black Adder. I'll let you choose the starting point.

Anywellness, the 'Father Figure' Jack Malloy played by Geoff (pronounced Jeff) Pierson would talk to a stuffed bunny name Mr. Floppy ( Please insert any 20 - 30 year old penis joke here) voiced by....wait for it. Wait. Wait. Here it comes. Assume the position... BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT! while dealing with an aging wife. a hot to trot daughter played by Nikki Cox, and an idiot for a son.

Unhappily Ever After lasted four years and banged out 100 episodes on FOX. Plus it launched the careers of Nikki Cox (Who is WAY more FUCKABLE that Megan Fox!) and Geoff Pierson. Now if you don't know who Geoff Pierson is, then you've never watched an episode of Dexter, 24, LIFE or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. And for that you have my pity.

A couple of personal side notes for the year that was 1998..
I collected 699 quotes that year.
I moved the Staten Island.
I started working for The Metropolitan Opera House. Yeah, I've been to the opera, what about it!
I gained the best friend anyone could have, one Mike Gilbert. Love ya Man!
I stopped going to a little known bar called The Cubby Hole.
I started going to a little known bar called Jake's Delimma.
Mad TV was actually funny.
TV Guide was small enough to fit in your pocket, worth collecting and culturally relevant.

So, with that said, I'll run the spell checker, post it and hopefully someone will read it and comment on it.
I want to say a special "Thank you' to someone.

The Band, State, City and University have nothing to apologize for.

In October of 2011 I was sent a bottle of Kansas (Clean Distilled) Whiskey and the press kit for it. After reading the major selling points and the history behind Kansas (The whiskey, not the band) I was ready to file it all under the heading of WTFWTT (What The F$%K Were They Thinking?) and walk away. But I could not do that, it would not be professional. So, I took the bottle home and did what any good liquor reviewer would do: I let the bottle sit on my shelf for a month. On a random day in November, I opened the elongated flask-shaped glass bottle, poured myself three fingers worth of the cream colored whiskey, took a healthy swig and something interesting happened: I discovered that I was drinking a horrible whiskey. Usually this is where I go into a scathing two-page rant on why I think Kansas (The whiskey not the State ) is one of the worst whiskeys on the planet, compare it to a WMD and make witty jokes about it using references from TV shows and ...

Movie Mash up ...That I stole from my Lincolnwrites Twitter account

If I had to put two different franchises together to form a more perfect movie Mission Impossible: Die Hard Retired cop John McClane is visiting his daughter in Singapore. Unbeknownst to him, the IMF is trying to dismantle a Disciples splinter cell (The Adherent) & stop them from releasing a bioweapon. It all takes place in Guoco Tower. Ethan & John crack jokes & smirks in HVAC vents.

I've been writing about spirits, cocktails and bars since 2006 and during that time I've attended several spirit launch (and re-launch) events. Figure on average about seven a year. In that time I've learned from my mistakes and the mistakes of others. So, I've come up with some basic rules for you to follow if you find yourself attending a Spirit Launch Party. Rule #1 for attending a Spirit Launch Party. Stock up on singles & 20's. Be prepared to tip everybody. The thinking behind this is simple - 5's & 10's make you look like a hipster piker. Also, do you want to be that person who asks for change of a 5 dollar bill or the guy who doesn't tip at all?? Rule #2 A.B.C. ALWAYS BE CLOSING! Bring plenty of business cards. Be prepared to get a ton. Bring 2 cardholders. Rule #3 Dress like you mean business. 3.1) Men: Clean Shirt with a nice tie and jacket. 3.2) Ladies: Yeah, I'm not going to tell you how to dress. Rule #4 Lear...
