Well, if John and weirddave have one, then I need one too, or I will feel like a total dork at the DC dopers meeting. * * * Drink up, dear. I made it just for you. _sig by_ **WallyM7** ---

Oh, I need one. No fruity stuff or paper umbrellas. I tend to favor the sort of drink that would make umbrellas burst into flame. ---

I’ve been avoiding most of these lately, but this one is just too good to resist. I’m going to take the path of my fellow “tea-totaler” Eve and provide you with the additional challenge of coming up with a suitable Shirley Temple for me. Good luck… * * * Here lies Pierre de Fermat. Unfortunately, there is not enough room on this tombstone for a proper epitaph. ---

I’m covered, thanks. Not only do I have a drink named after my screenname, two separate bartenders have promised to name a _bar_ after my IRL name, what with me having financed them $3.50 plus tip at a time and all. ---

I believe the “doghouse reilly” should be something retro yet manly, the kind of drink that Philip Marlowe would order between making the moves on Lauren Bacall and kicking some ass on the waterfront. Admit it, my name is _begging_ for a cocktail to be named after it.
