Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

So THAT’s why the rum is gone…
Oh yeah, that reminds me…. a new bar with Guinness on tap just went in a couple blocks from where I work…. I’ve been told they need training on how to pour it though.
And THAT’S why I used to drink!
Promise?
I feel safe from the herd of beeyotches.
Just now finished my second glass of Knob Creek Bourbon this evening, I did.
Whew! Cleansed, am I.
SJBill,
Knob Creek is a FINE bourbon, and one I really like. I am partial, personally, to Evan Williams, but will always find a place for a quality crafted bourbon.
Good heavens, there are so many to choose from…..
Myself, I polished off the last of the EW, and am working on a bottle of Cuervo Black. It’s so well crafted and smooth you can drink it neat, as I am.
Just this morning I was speaking with the editor of our local newspaper, and he enquired as to whomI would liken myself to. I responded, without hesitation, “Hemingway”. He asked, incredulously, if I considered myself his equal as a writer, and I responded with an emphatic NO!. I am not his equal as an author… But as to his drinking…….
I have no qualms about testing my skills against any other man, though such contests are, of course, a vulgar display of emotive imbibing, but still and all, matching shot for shot with high-test distilled beverages is always, or almost always, preferable to trading shots of jacketed cast lead.
Depends on the company, I recon…
Funny! I came here all smirky and squinty-eyed (becuz of the cheap wine, I’ve been drinkin’ tonite–way too fast, by the way, but I got a late start) looking for something SEXY to comment on, and there it is…LIPS AND LIQUOR…my favorite things on a Friday Nite! Of course, I have the opposite POV…This Babe would never turn down Lex’s Liquored-up Lips–
(she says with a *wink* as she takes another sip)
I think I need a drink. Several, in fact.
Ditto that Homefrontsix! I think I will have a “Kiss on the Lips” tonight = 2 oz bourbon 5 oz Apricot Nectar. Tee hee! Happy Friday!
That’s pic’s enough to drive me to drink!
Schell Dark for me. Either that image fades from my mind or I’ll have to force the issue and become blind drunk. But hey, no use in drinking cheap beer when the good stuff is available. Made in New Ulm, MN, by the way. And my brew of choice.
Because I’m all about precision German engineering.

Tales of the College Daze:
I lived off-campus with a German and an Irish national. Brew was the drink of choice, and since carrying an empty six-pack back to the store on the way to class was inconvenient, we stored the empties in a room in the basement.
Came time to graduate, move on. Roomies packed their stuff and vacated, leaving me to scour the rest of the house and make it presentable. I pondered the room of empties, worth a nickel refund each.
Two loads with the ol’ F150, filled to the gunnels.
Cashed in just over $300 worth of bottles at a nickle each.
Made me think, it did. That’s a lot of beer over the gums, even if I was the lightweight of the group, and took a fair amount of time to clean up.
So now I buy it by the keg. Cheaper, there’s only one empty to haul back, and it saves trips to town.
Carrie Nation? Woman needs a drink.
– Max
Yeah, I’d turn them down, too. Face down.
Obviously, they’ve never been to Singapore, either.
And I’d pass out before the beer goggles kicked in.
Old fashioned information warfare, methinks. I have to think a pro-liquor faction made that photo. But if you read the literature from the time, the temperance wimmin were consistently described as hardened battle axes, scowling, rigid puritans in the Mencken mold (constantly suspicious that someone, somewhere, might be having fun). Nice find.
The phrase “venomous harridans” comes to mind when looking at that picture.

Cheers!
The one right in the middle sure looks like my ex
In the sprit of fundamental fairness …I being its greatest champion… I would like to remind all of you alchol addled, self satisfied,wannabe chick magnets ( you know who you are) that a picture of equal vintage to above showing only men of that era would most certaintly elicit equilivent comments from the Lex Babes. Best
Snake,
Is that where the whole Speedy Dry thing comes in?
Girls like that are why bars in Wanchai were invented.
“Schell Dark for me. Either that image fades from my mind or I’ll have to force the issue and become blind drunk. But hey, no use in drinking cheap beer when the good stuff is available. Made in New Ulm, MN, by the way. And my brew of choice.”
They sell Schell Dark over here? Never did have that on my trips to Neu Ulm (I was up in Vaihingen)…
Interesting was that the best beer I had in Germany (other than some fantastic small town Heffeweizens) was actually Czech – Budweiser Budvar (not to be confused with the horsepiss here). You can find it over here as Chechvar. Makes Pilsner Urquell taste like Schlitz. (PS, only Becks I ever saw in Germany was at the ClassVI)
And if you are a real German Beer lover, try Harpoons UFO Heffeweizen, it’s pretty good.
Damn – sorry for the threadjack, thought we were talking finely crafted beer, not wholesome, refined,and sexxxxy Women of the Frontier….
Thanks Katy!
Pffft! New Ulm, MN -v- Neu Ulm, FRG – Doh!
A similar campaign by Code Pink could drive able-bodied men to the recruiter offices.
Very effective liquor add.
I am reminded of a joke.
A young Marine, flying on an civilian airline, is seated next to a teetotaling minister. The Marine is offered a choice of soda, beer, wine, or mixed drink. He chooses a beer.
The minister is offered the same choice, and says with indignation, “I’d rather have sex with a group of brazen whores than let liquor touch my lips!”
The Marine hands his beer back to the stewardess and says, “So would I, I just didn’t know it was a choice.”
ASM826, do you mind if I use that? Next time I’m flying, perhaps? Because that’s just too funny not to share.
– Max
Snake? Don’t mellow my buzz, man.
MaxD,
By all means, I cut down to essentials to post it here, feel free to use and embellish as you like.
ASM826
Hey ASM… I’d heard a variation on that joke, wherein the protagonists were a Sweet Young Thang and a Dowager, still on an airplane. The dowager’s comment was “I’d rather commit adultery than let liquor,” etc. The SYT’s comeback was “Me, too! But there’s not enough time or space here…”
Both work for me!
Buck,
I like ‘em both.
You’ll notice that I am not in said photo…..
Drink up, Boys!
*grin*
