Rynn: Workness
Workness
What is the definition of this definition. For me, and since it’s my word, workness is when work as a condition surpasses work and ventures in to the realm of sadism. Today was a workness day. So bad not even drink could cure it. But I rejoice! For I have now seen that it is now Saturday and that horrible miser of a work day has now been murdered by time!!! MWAHHAHAHA!!! Such joy! Such elation! That horrible lil’ bugger is dead….and there is a man in a colonial costume playing the ukelele and singing about beer to my right…
And that is a most welcome thing indeed. Makes me glad that tomorrow is another day and sometimes that tomorrow brings you ukelele playing colonial costumed men.
Weirdness…. I LOVE IT!
RYNN: Absinthe!!!
I’s a-gots my St. George Spirits Absinthe Verte!!! Woo-woo! A venerable product of the good USA and even better, the Bay Area, I am quite happy to have this lovely bottle in my greedy green fairy digits. The label sports a grinning monkey holding what appears to be a femur bone and a cow bell; his mouth is wide-open as if some fast moving artist captured the little beast in the middle of shouting, “you know what this song needs? MORE COWBELL!”
Kudos and a happy hour helping of Ernest Hemingway’s “Death in the Afternoon” to all the staff at St. George Spirits- especially to Lance Winters, the master distiller who tinkered and toiled for 11 years to perfect his absinthe verte. Note: Absinthe was illegal to produce in the US until this past year. That means that for eleven long years Mr. Winters experimented and each of those experiments, no matter how superb or sloppy, had to be dumped down the commode in order to comply with the US federales. Damn. That’s a lot of wasted absinthe!
Fun Fact: When St. George Spirits Absinthe Verte went on sale on Dec. 21, 2007, they became the only American company since 1912 to sell absinthe in the United States.
Rynn says: Vampire Goodness
Somethings in life are free….Like so bad it’s good vampire TV *aka Moonlight*….Unfortunately, though I can partake in Moonlight episodes lovingly Tivoed by my friend Ealasaid, our vices (being Round Table Pizza, Wicked Strawberry Blonde Ale) have associated costs. These costs, include $$$ and the uuber-geek glee that permeates is our beer buzz. But oh, the costs are worth the awesome company, fully bellies, bad vampire puns, and flavorful belches.
