Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

"Daddy, you didn't say a "fuckwad"?

"Wha?"

"When the light turned green. The driver didn't go. You didn't say fuckwad."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Now tagless for your comfort.

"When the light turned green. The driver didn't go. You didn't say fuckwad."

I get, "Why did you call that person a jackass, Mommy?"

The bar doesn't refrigerate, I don't think.

Bars go through it a lot faster than the average home cocktail drinker. [link]

So you should keep your spirits at room temperature, but do refrigerate your vermouth. Vermouth is a lightly fortified wine, and as such it's subject to oxidation, just like any other wine. If you keep it cold, however, a good vermouth should last at least six months before it shows any sign of deterioration.

In other news, does anyone have any silver tequila recommendations other than Patron?

I vote Cabo Wabo.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah, I'll be tossing my vermouth when I get home.

The Buffista sprogs are going to have some very large vocabularies of both the erudite and "swears-like-a-sailor" variety.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was thinking that we should just give up on the "don't let kids learn swear words" thing. Fuck it. Just let 'em swear.

Except then they'd probably swear wrong, and we'd then have to teach them to swear correctly.

The Cabo Wabo was surprisingly good! My father-in-law is a tequila genius!

I was thinking that we should just give up on the "don't let kids learn swear words" thing. Fuck it. Just let 'em swear.

My rule is simply that it's socially inappropriate for younger people to swear in front of older people.

Emmett can swear all he wants among his peer group.

Matilda too, for that matter, though it might not play in preschool to call the kid who took your playdough a cocksucker.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Also, vermouth should be refrigerated unless being used quickly.

Huh.

Dry vermouth is also nice to have around as a substitute for white wine in cooking those times when you really don't want to open a bottle.
