What’s your favorite toast? Normally I do, “Drink Cold, Piss Warm!” I didn’t come up with that on my own– I am not that creative. At all. I heard it in a movie. A dirty movie. Henry and June. I saw it in college. This evening, as I poured the 3 Buck Chuck, I said, “I love how 3 Buck Chuck smells… like Freedom and La Femme Nikita!” And that’s how we toasted, “To FREEDOM and La Femme Nikita!” When I first got this place, my Aunt Helen gave me a case of 3 Buck Chuck and I remember spending my evenings reveling in my freedom by drinking wine and watching episode after episode of La Femme Nikita– so it’s all intertwined.
I also do “Na zdorovje” Which sounds like, “Nahs DRAH vie YA” At least that’s how I pronounce it. My cousin Lenka might disagree. I say it when I am drinkingSlivovitz or Becherovka.
Speaking of favorite liqeurs– my newest fave is Domaine de Canton French Ginger Liqueur. It is heavenly! Ginger-flavored liquer.. it’s like drinking a Dark and Stormy without rum and without Barritts Ginger Beer. LOVE IT!
Yeah.

Only joking, of course. Skol!
My favorite toast? This one, naturally:

I drink to your charm, your beauty and your brains — which gives you a rough idea of how hard up I am for a drink. (I think from a Marx Brothers movie)
If you profess to love the smell of 3 buck charlie, you would cream your jeans over a proper Bordeaux. It smells like capitalism and knight rider.
I’m collecting Gomerisms. That alcohol simile is a polished gem that belongs on the mantel.
I’ll have a three piece collectors edition in stores around Christmas.
Here’s a poetry toast:
Donna has gone walkabout down East.
In hopes of some fun, at least.
But not back around, questions abound.
Like why have the new post ceased?
Because you ask so nicely… I just posted an entry!
