whiskey and beer, btw, is a boilermaker, often associated with mill workers and Pittsburghers.

well my dad has always sworn by throwing a little jack into hot tea when you're sick- and I have to say I think he's onto something.

Or how about hot buttered rum...
james - 11/09/08 00:35
A left the proportions out for the alcoholic psychonots here.

1 1/2-2 ounces of whiskey. Preferably rye whiskey.
1 ounce hot water
i tsp sugar (the palate of the 18th century would have preferred over 1 tbs of sugar, but god damn that is sweet.)
squirt of lemon with wedge of garnish

enjoy

If I may.

A Hot Toddy specifically refers to a drink made popular in the 18th century in which Whiskey (and occasionally New England rum) was mixed with water and sugar (honey for the best flavor. Though, what is today called raw sugar, was more commonly used) with a squirt of lemon are the basic ingredients of a hot toddy. The water was heated and mixed with the sugar. The whiskey was added and then an iron, heating in a fire, was poked into the drink to heat it just so. On a winters day there is nothing that keeps you this warm. Even if you were to hollow out an eskimo and walk in his seal fed blubber you would shiver next to the hot toddy drinker.

obama and my momma
i am so excited!!!!!! obama!!!!!


but my mama is not. she says i am to blame for the reason there will be no money to leave me in her will. she brought the lolz, as perez would say.




but i am so happy.


i also learned a valuable lesson today... words do actually hurt, so if you don't have nice things to say, keep it to yourself, or share with drinking buddies. don't trust people at work, they will use the first chance they get to stab you in the back.

all that being said, i am going to work on being more positive and less outspoken; which for me is waaay easier said than done.

barack the vote!
i voted! yay! how exciting, i can't wait to hear the results, even though the popular vote doesn't really count...

but it's exciting to see so many people out there at the polls execising their right!


also very important: i voted no on prop 8, or prop h8te.


notice the sticker!!!!!


ps. my wound is much better, almost completely healed!

prop 8 was here in az too. and i was paying attention, but we had a break and i took the couple minutes to blog!
jenks - 11/04/08 21:42
wait, how did you vote on 8? I thought it was only a CA thing? I wanted to vote against it but it certainly wasn't on the ballot here...

And glad about your butt. (and if it makes you feel any better- it just happens. Doesn't mean you're dirty or whatnot, and there's probably nothing you could have done to prevent it.)
hodown - 11/04/08 16:43
Um shouldnt you be paying attention in class and not blogging?

turns out its mrsa.


i had it lanced. it hurt like a mother but its better now. now a second course of anitbiotics. my stomach is not happy about this.

the doctor said that i should be ok now, but what i have could have turned into something very serious if it wasn't treated right away.

im a little scared of working at the hospital now...
libertad - 11/01/08 13:02
Get better quick! We missed you this Halloweeen
paul - 11/01/08 12:11

tinypliny - 11/01/08 10:37
