What? The minors can’t drink and there’s no soda?

**White Lightning**? You still around somewhere? I’ll have a Cointreau, lime and soda, thanks.

Actually, make that a double… I’m sure my 11 o’clock Microbiology lecture will be more interesting if I show up a little squiffy 🙂

I was going to ask you how you did that, but after quoting you, I must say … _very_ clever! 😃

By the way, is it still too late to order drinks? If there’s beer, I’ll take a Corona with lime; if not, make it a Sex on the Beach. (yes, it’s a “floofy” drink, but I like it!)

The bar is _open_.

Virgin Rum and Dew for **JBERGES**. Corona with limed neck for **Dirty Earthworm** (‘is there beer’ – shyah!). Got a Sex on the Beach here in the cooler for when it’s needed. **tritone** – Cointreau lime and soda, double. Shibby.

Hey, I think it’s time for a round of Irish Car Bombs (double shot: half Bailey’s, half Jamison’s, drop shot into half-pint of Guinness, pound like a sav). Who’s in?

Every once and awhile I’ll have a stroke of inspiration.

If the bar is open a shot of tequila please.

Tequila shot for the Clever Guy. I hope you’re an overseas doper, **FallFast** , because it’s _quite_ early in the morning to be doing shots over here.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Anyway, here ya go.

Of course we need music!  
I asked if anyone had brought some music a while ago…

::sips drink::

Excellent, **White Lightning**. If I had any money on me I’d tip the bartender.

My friend bought me **Spiderman cereal**. It is safely stored with my X-Files stuff. I am officially a nerd.

I’ll live dangerously. Pass one of those my way. By the way, just in case it’s needed - where’s the bathroom?

Sweet!

I’m also thinking of making a batch of something slushy – you guys prefer Daquiris or Margaritas?

On preview, **Dirty Earthworm** wants a Car Bomb too. Three people makes a round! On 3, drop and slam. First one finishing wins a free drink for the female of their choice!
