Hey man, don’t let it get ya down. I see you’re from Kansas. These were your parents friends. A few nips in back of the corn crib, a shot an’ a beer or five at the local watering hole is all they know. The only umberella drink they’ve ever seen was when they were dating Suzie-Q and she ordered one once when they went to the big city. “Why, if Tom ever saw me with a flower in ma drink, I’d never hear the end of it!” They don’t get it, won’t get it and have no desire to try. Not with their friends in the room. So, I ask: Was that “sissy drink” comment aimed at the actual cocktail, or do you believe it was really aimed at you? In either case: Joke’em if they can’t take a f...! Be yourself and give it not one second thought. That’s why TC exists, because relatively speaking, there’s not many of us, and we’re all over the place. My friends also think I’m a bit off, but I’m wear’in ‘em down. I’m pretty sure the powers that be wouldn’t let you back on TC if it were known that you replaced a tiki bar with a sports bar. That would be downright criminal.
