They all laughed at me!!

On Wed. and Thur. I had a district meeting for my work. For lunch on Wed we went to the new Elephant bar in Torrance. No tiki but lots of bamboo, dark wood and cool leopard print carpet. Very good food and service. On thur we went to Lucille's and I ordered a Pina Colada and all of my coors light drinking co-workers laughed at me! Even the waitress laughed at me. At least i'm not a sheep like them.

They laughed when I sat down at the piano...

YES, YES, They all laughed, but, I will have my REVENGE!!!. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! In the meantime I'll have another Pink Squirel with an extra LIL'paper umbrella.
Thank You,
Al

A bottle of Olde English 800 wrapped in a brown paper bag will wipe that smile right off their faces! Trust me.

Just remind them there's more alcohol in rum than in beer. Nothing more manly than a fruity drink with an umbrella!

Coors. Ha! Not to get all political here, but not too long ago Coors was radically Repubican and you'll recall their ads were all mountain water and goodness. Now they have gone 180 and their ads are all hot chicks and PARTAY! Suddenly Coors is the beer to drink. But remember, a large part of this world still boycotts them for their union busting moves and for their single handedly keeping the radical right alive in the 80-90's...

Regardless. You can't let that crap bother you or you'll never be a happy person. As the saying goes "Nobody kicks a dead dog."

yeah, and politics aside, it's COORS for crissakes. not guiness, not newcastle, not anything GOOD.

ever see the kids in the hall sketch "girly drink drunk?"
it's pretty funny.

Back in the early 80's my union sent out a special mailing informing us of Coors fascist policy's. Plus, as I have said before, it taste like piss (well actually, piss taste better-I'VE BEEN TOLD!)

Sorry, I like Coors Light and Pina Colada just dosen't go with smokehouse BBQ. EWWWWW I don't know how you ate ribs, tri-tip, or BBQ chicken and had that sweet fruity drink to wash it down. Why not go for a lynchburg lemonaid or even a hurricane? Maybe that's why they laughed. You guy's would probably laugh at someone who ordered say a merlot at Sam's.

BTW they have the best artichokes at Lucille's YUM!

What can you expect from a brewer whose first name is Adolph! Not a big contributor to Greenpeace I assure you.

Here this should make you feel better...

On January 22, 1959, led by Bill Coors, Coors Brewing Company introduced the first two-piece aluminum beverage can. Since then, Coors hasn't stopped improving on the packaging innovation that changed the beverage industry forever.

Thank God for Coors! I can get my beer in a can! Mmmmmmm... aluminum

Once............................
Just Once!

Laney, as a matter of fact I had tri-tip and I enjoyed it very much with my pina-colada. No I would not laugh at someone who ordered a merlot at Sam's, or anything else for that matter. Your from Orange County? Surprise Surprise.......

I thought the 'Coors = Evil' thing smelt like an urban legend, and so lo and behold, I looked it up, and Snopes has a page on it. Please read it. Then have a beer.

I don't get it? What are you saying? What does Orange County have to do with anything?

I thought you were a girl, until I see your e-mail, Paul... I am a waitress and I think it's funny when guys order pina coladas, malibu anythings, and apple martinis (we don't even do the blender thing where I work) But it does give me much needed smiles during my shift. If you like mixed drinks there are plenty tasty drinks that won't get you laughed at and at least make it look like you have some balls. I would absolutely reccomend their Lynchburg Lemonaids, Hurricanes, or Mint Juleps because they're pretty good there. Why not try the house specialty? I am certainly not a fru-fru drinker but did try several at Sam's with my crab legs. Sometimes, When in Rome...But hey, your lifestyle is your choice, not that there's anything wrong with it. Cheers!
PS. Don't get so offended when someone disagrees with you. It happens here! Plenty don't like the beer I drink or the music I like, so.... :roll:

Personally, I find a man drinking a pina colada dead sexy. I don't find it attractive when men attempt to fit into others' standard mold of "manly" rather than just doing what feels right to them.

Laney,

I apologize, must be that time of the month.

"...I think it's funny when guys order pina coladas...If you like mixed drinks there are plenty tasty drinks that won't get you laughed at and at least make it look like you have some balls." -laney-

I've never been too wild about Pina Coladas but now that I know ordering one might cause a waitress to laugh and ponder what lurks within my nether regions...I want one more than ever! And can I get that with whipped cream on top and two cherries please? And just a little rum because I don't really like the taste of alcohol and it sometimes gives me a headache. Oh, and bring it with two straws because I don't know if I can finish it all by myself...Oh my god! Is that MY drink? Those umbrellas are sooo cute! Oh-MMMM-! This is nummy! It doesn't even taste like alcohol...It's like drinking candy! I know this is going straight to my hips, but it's worth it!

I am proud to say that I have ordered a Shirley Temple, gotten snickered at, then within the hour notice others with their own! Ok, sometimes I ask for my Shirley Temple with a splash of Triple Sec, but mostly I take it straight... :)

The Pina Colada is a much maligned drink. We openly accept the fact 99.9% of bartenders can't mix a real Mai Tais (or Tropicals in general). A properly prepared PC is a real treat. I like 'em light, not heavy; frothy, not slushy; fruity not too sweet, and "Mule Kick Potent". Quality ingredients, cold Ice, care in mixing and a clean glass will prepare a delicious drink.

I remember my friend's wife asked me for a "Blue Hawaii". As I was mixing, she stated "That's not a Blue Hawaii". My jaw dropped, a waitress in a casino bowling alley would come to the Lagoon room and lecture Al on how to make Tropical Drinks! BLASPHEMY!!!!!. I told her I used an old school recipe and handed her the drink. She loved it, she went back to work and told the Bartenders they couldn't make Blue Hawaiis.
Mahalo,
Al

The instructor I had at the International Institute of Bartending (circa 1977) called them "P*nis Colossus".

Hey tiki-rivera, we live in Torrance and frequent those restraunts. Next time you're at Lucille's, order a "Honey Blonde" (tall beer).
Hey I love tropical drinks too! My wifes favorite is the Bahama Mama, and I usually drink what she can't finish (no use wasting good booze!)
I'm a long Island ice tea type of guy, but also like beer with a shot of Bacardi Limon added.

Hey Tikitack,

Do you ever eat at the Souplantation near the elephant bar? If yo do let me know and i'll send you some comps. I'm a GM at a different location. The next time i'm at Lucille's i'll try the honey blond. I live right by one in Belmont Shore.

Why should a man, or anyone, be concerned about what a bar maid thinks (snickers at) when ordering a drink of any kind.

On the other hand, I might feel a bit embarrassed asking to buy losing stock from an intelligent 'female' stockbroker.

Hey tiki-riviera,
I haven't eaten at SP in quite a while...but I will be eating at the elephant Bar this evening. I love the rug in that place!

Does it really tie the room together?

Just what we needed around here, more Dude quotes.

Hello Humuhumu,

I wish I had some interior designer experience...but the aesthetics' work well with the leopard skin rug.
I think the next time I go (to the Elephant Bar)...I'll take a couple of tiki mugs with me and use the restaurant as a back drop for my tiki pictures.

Muggler,

Extremely good point! Balls? Most men have them. That's how women end up with kids and no man around isn't it?

I don't get it, you mean it takes balls for someone to be an absentee father? What are you saying or was this just another attempt at a round-about put down of me? You know I'm a waitress and a single mom (and proud of what I've acomplished and the choices I've made) Whatever makes you feel like a big man.

laney,

You need to heed the advice you gave me!!

Laney,

Come on. First off, my post was to muggler, and not you! Lay off me would you. I don't even know you. I've never met you. I don't what your personal history is (and I don't give a shit).

Look, as they say "it's not alway about you!".

(I'm sure I'll be hearing from Hanford soon)

tiki_bong,

I think you got some skunk weed in your bowl. What's with the harsh attitude?

Tiki Riviera,

It's a long story I could tell you but, not to mention any names, someone would get unglued.

But the Readers Digest version is that someone, not to mention any names, seems to think all my posts are about him/her, and they take something personal about them.

You're pretty new here, why don't you review someones, not to mention any names, posts to get a feel for wut up.

Those that know me and have been over to my tiki hut, basically every member in So Cali, are down with me.

Maybe you should drive up PCH and visit sometime.

[ Edited by: Tiki_Bong on 2003-05-29 13:22 ]

Bong,

I guess what you are "trying" to say is that ALL of you posts are NOT about me... yeah right! :roll:

Well let me tell you something I have balls, and I'm taking my balls and I'm going home!

btw, I wouldn't be caught dead ordering a coors light, I would just rather not drink at all.

[ Edited by: tikimug on 2003-05-29 13:57 ]

Sure tiki_bong, sounds good. Always looking for an excuse to hit HB and Wahoo's.
Then stop by Sam's on the way home to suck up some rum (in a pina-colada)! Do you know anywhere in the U.S. one can procure some Havana Rum?

Over in Greece last year I went for the "Man's Cocktail". It consisted of a large number of spirits and a frightening lack of mixers. They didn't make a big deal of it, like "House special - Man's Cocktail - drink it or forever be known as a pillow-biter". It was just there on the menu alongside the rest of the cocktails.

Sadly it tasted worse than the juice from a Greek donkey's saddle bags. I'll be sticking to the Pina Coladas.

Talk about the best straight line I ever saw. It's just too easy, can't do it.

tiki-riviera,

if anyone in my group ordered Coors Light, "the Silver Bullet" (har!!!), they would be the ones getting laughted at. Stand your ground, man. You know the expression, "Coors Light is like sex in a canoe, cuz it's f***ing near to water". Remember that the next time these wannabe drinkers, these fraidy-cats, these little-girl frilly-underwear sparrowfarts mock you for drinking something that actually contains alcohol.

aloha!
emspace.

Oh Jeez, they laughed at you because you ordered a Pina Colada? Why should THEY care what the hell YOU drink. You're a paying customer. Besides, would anyone laugh at the Werewolf of London for drinking a Pina Colada? F*#@ no, unless they wanted their lungs ripped out, heh, heh.
Here's what you should do TikiRiviera, go back in there with the biggest bad ass biker you can find, tattoos and gnarly biker hair, tell him you're buyin', and order 4 Pina Coladas. If anyone asks who the other 2 drinks are for, tell them it's for your other biker friends who will be walking in shortly. Then both of you sit back comfortably sippin' your drinks and see what happens.

How's about one of the lovely SoCal tiki ladies volunteering to slither up to tiki-riviera next time he's out with his boorish friends, toy with his shirt buttons, and ask if he likes making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape. Bet then they'll ALL order fricken pina coladas!

Now imagine,
I'll have a water please

Can I have a diet coke?

Do you mix Orange Juice and cranberry?

Just make me something fruity without alcohol?

And the next day with my contact hangover

Virgin Mary with my Menudo please,
and bring it in a dirty glass!

You whinney mo fo's have no idea what it is like to hang out with a bunch of two personality drunks all the time.
Wake up a preacher/nun go to bed hooker/sluts (works for men and women)

Just drink what you want and tell anyone that does not like it to #@&% *!~

Laney and Bong as soon as you get done making love, let me know, it's my turn
(either one will do)
W---H---A---T___????

I think I like purplejades idea!! Now if I can only get a willing vixen without my wife finding out.... Thanks for the backup emspace, I shall continue to fight the power! Are you from Van. BC or Wash.?

For my money, the Mai Tai is the best of both worlds ... delicious tropical taste, and it's still very low profile.

Yes that is the question of the ages... if any one out there has the answer.. IM me! :wink: :wink: :wink:

Alright guys, just so you don't think I'm advocating extramarital licentiousness, my idea was JUST FOR SHOW! OK? Don't want PO'd wives knocking my door down. :o

NO longer is it cool to say something is 'just for show.' Noe it's 'just for decorations!!!'
