the things you do for love (things you do for love)

Well, for one thing, you take some time away from the computer. 

—Not that walking through the rain and the snow isn’t also a sacrifice—it’s just that, well, it’s sunny and mid-eighties here, and I’ve already made it through a pitcher of lime daiquiries.  So that ain’t gonna wash.

    Coincidentally, I feel like a part of me is dying.  But I’m pretty sure that’s the heat.

  2. mhillmac says:

    Are you feelin’ like a part of you is dyin’?

    I believe you can find the answer in her eyes. If you’d just look

  3. Stalky McGhee says:

    Ooh you’ve got a way.

  4. natesnake says:

    EwwwOhhooho I,

    I just died in thighs tonight,

    It must’a been something I ate,

    I couldn’t walk awaaaaaaaay,

    I couldn’t walk away.

    T/W A shot of lime makes anything taste even better.

  5. shank says:

    8am daiquieries huh?  Sounds like a good weekend kickoff to me.  Except for the whole daiquiries thing.  Honestly, you have to admit it makes you feel a little less like a man just typing it; let alone putting it in your mouth. 

    Whatever happened to whiskey, scotch, and beer?  Wait, don’t tell me you’re one of those metrosexual types…

  6. Dorian says:

    You go boy!

    No, really, just go. LOL

  7. Scott P says:

    So, do you drink them in 10cc portions?

  8. stoo says:

    I applaud your choice of Daquiris for weather such as you describe.  As we all know, pina coladas are for getting caught in the rain.

  9. Swen Swenson says:

    Mmm, daquiris. The breakfast of champions. Far better than talking oatmeal.

  10. permalink says:

    daquiris?

    Bacardi, Coke, limes.

    Waiting.

    TW: based on what I’ve heard, I’m waiting, but I may be late.

  11. schoolmarm says:

    Enough of this “Daiquiri” not being a manly drink…Real men invented the Daiquiri. Real men drink Daiquiris. And really real men drink daiquiris at 8am.

    Daiquiri history:

    The name Daiquirí is also the name of a beach near Santiago, Cuba, and an iron mine in that area. It is said that the cocktail was invented by an American named Jennings Cox, an engineer who worked in that very mine, which explains the origin of the cocktail’s name.

    It is said that Cox invented the drink when he ran out of gin while entertaining American guests. Wary about serving local rum straight up, Cox added limejuice and sugar to improve the rum’s taste. Consumption of the drink remained localized until 1909, when Admiral Lucius W. Johnson, a US Navy medical officer, tried Cox’s drink. Johnson subsequently introduced it to the Army and Navy Club in Washington DC, and drinkers of the daiquiri increased over the space of a few decades. The daiquiri was one of the favorite drinks of the writer Ernest Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway however was a renowned diabetic, this led to the invention of the hemingway daiquiri, which substitutes sugar for grapefruit juice and a small dash of maraschino liqueur.

    The military is so proud of its historical role in developing the daiquiri the Army Navy Club has a historical marker in their bar detailing this history. So Jeff be a proud American and drink up. It is your duty.

    TW: “United” … enough said.

  12. schoolmarm says:

    The above does not apply to frozen daiquiris. If you drink frozen daiquiris then you probably Andrew Sullivan’s bitch.

  13. Pixie Pug says:

    Just be glad he didn’t name it after himself, or you would be drinking a frozen Cox.

    Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    TW:Sun

    is in my eyes

  14. mRed says:

    Forecast – sunglasses

  15. Amy says:

    You married a wise woman –

    tw: Enjoy yourself smile

  16. Pablo says:

    Daquiris? Will there be dismantling later?

  17. Chairman Me says:

    I’ve already made it through a pitcher of lime daiquiries.

    Great! When’s the tea dance?

  18. Sidewinder says:

    Put de lime in de coconut…….wait, that’s for bellyaches.  We’re looking to get hammered here.

    Channelling Harry Nilsson….

  19. Chairman Me says:

    Cox? Sailors? Sweaty mens in caves? Thanks for setting us…er…straight about the manliness of daiquiris.

    But I will vouch for the manliness of a daiquiri made with 151 and a shot of Jagermeister.

  20. Rob B. says:

    Everyone knows that real mean drink White Russians…

  21. Rob B. says:

    or Harley Oil…

  22. David R. Block says:

    151?? Woo-hoo.

    Next step, Everclear.

  23. N. O'Brain says:

    Yingling Lager, here.

    Or single malt scotch.

    tw: member. Let’s not get into the member clouting thing, again.

  24. Hosedragger says:

    Crown Royal Special Reserve over crushed ice.  Mmmmmm……smooth like a criminal.

  25. Everclear!?  Rather just stick my head under the spigot on the still… or rubbing alchohol.

    If it’s mixed it better have Captain’s and Coke… in that order.

  26. McGehee says:

    Real men drink JP4. While smoking a cigar.

  27. Beck says:

    Do you realize what the street price is of all this snow!?!

  28. Jamacian Beer Guy says:

    Hooray Beer!

  29. Chairman Me says:

    151?? Woo-hoo.

    Next step, Everclear.

    If you like Everclear, I’ve got a treat for you. Grind up a dime bag and put it in a bottle of Everclear. Store the bottle away for about 4-6weeks and give it a good shake everyday. Somehow, pure grain alcohol activates THC like baking does (marijuana normally has to be heated to produce a high–eating it raw just makes you ill), and the resulting tincture is quite…interesting. Add a little to some Red Bull and it’s on.

  30. Mark Poling says:

    Bookers.  Straight up. 

    The smoothest way to get from vertical to horizontal without remembering the trip afterwards.

  31. geezer says:

    Daiquiris give me heartburn, although that may be due to the cheeseburgers and cheesecake.

  32. mojo says:

    Totally OT:

    Gutfield’s on a roll. The true hilarity is in comments, though.

    SB: west

  33. I R A Darth Aggie says:

    I’ve already made it through a pitcher of lime daiquiries

    Yah, somehow I don’t see booze and blogging mixing that well…

  34. Sidewinder says:

    Lets see now, how does it go?…..

    Chew the lemon wedge, snort the salt, and throw the tequila shot over your shoulder?

    Or something like that?

    I was booooorn to lick your body….

  35. Rob B. says:

    Do you realize what the street price is of all this snow!?!

    My brother makes this moster eggnog with lighter fluid…

  36. Jim in KC says:

    Bookers.  Straight up.

    Damn, I read that one wrong the first time.

  37. Big Bang Hunter says:

    Hooters – Straight out.

    TW: The last time I saw pare ass, her heart was light and gayyyyyy….

    (Note to Jeff: If you think you’ve effectively distracted the peanut gallery with this booze diversion, wherin we go off and get slooshed, forgetting about the non-dancing shell weasle – Think again…)

  38. Charles De Mar says:

    “Do you realize what the street price is of all this snow!?!”

    You’d make a fine little helper.  What is your name?

  39. XTeacher says:

    Daiquiris?  In Colorado?  Man, if I were in Colorado, I believe that I’d be enjoying a Fat Tire Ale or three on a day as fine as it sounds to be out there.  I’ve been trying to find the stuff on the east coast, but you guys hog all of it to yourselves.

    If I weren’t recovering from having my wisdom teeth yanked out, I’d be enjoying a nice Wild Turkey over crushed ice, but instead, it is antiseptic mouth rinse and Percocet for me.  Mmmmmmmmmm!

  40. Rusty. says:

    Booze.

    When it’s hot out.

    Booze with ice.

  41. DrSteve says:

    I was booooorn to lick your body….

    I was born to love you

    I was born to lick your face

    I was born to rub you

    But you were born to rub me first

    Man, Cindy Morgan.  Whew.

    OK, reverie over.  Talisker, crushed ice, rainwater.  You ever see a Communist drink a glass of water, Mandrake?
