And while we're making photos better---the only way to make the AtomiKitty Chow photo any better (besides them being naked, of course) is this:

Grog funny, but in a creepy way.

GROG channeling GROG' inner BigTikiDude. It's a deep, dark, ugly area that most people not dare to enter. Most people who have dared tap into that side are now registered sex offenders or just got arrested for having kidnapped women tied up in their basement. GROG' brain, being that of a caveman, is able to traverse all realms of the mind without becoming emotionally compromised or tainted unlike modern man whose mind has evolved so far as to lose those barriers that defend against such raw, dark areas of the human psyche. That way GROG can enter all parts of the human mind, whether it be evil, intellectual, unrefined, sophisticated, or any area inbetween and extract the humor without it affecting GROG' overall persona. There are only three modern men who have that ability besides GROG-- Stephen King, Sam Ramey, and Joss Whedon. And even then, they can only enter that area in a drug-induced state, otherwise they would come back emotionally scarred and a danger not only to themselves, but society as a whole. Psychologists and scientists don't talk about the"BigTikiDude Zone" because they'd rather society didn't know about it and not be tempted to enter this area. It could cause the collapse of civilization as we know it.

It was so nice seeing all you TH folks this past weekend. Loved the Ti punch seminar (or whatever we are calling it) and Kitty Chow and the Fisherman were fantastic. She has such a beautiful voice--i can't believe I didn't know they were from Oakland :wink:

Thank you also to Marie/Syd/Ian and Forest for the great TH night!

Grog's way with women:

He swings a big club, but he's actually very sweet.

(But you gotta do something 'bout your camera's flash: Its color temperature spells death to skin tones! I will get you some orange gel when I get back)

Skin tone butcher!

Looking forward to talking Mai Tais on July 14. Hope to see you there.

Oh man, that looks tasty!

Thank you to everyone that came out to today's Rum Rhum Club. I had a lot of fun getting to talk about my favorite cocktail with like-minded folks. You guys even hit me with questions, which was great!

A huge thank you to Marie and Ian for all the work getting 4 cocktails out to the group - all garnished and delicious (I know I didn't make it easy with the cocktail format). Thank you to Amy for giving me a chance to present at Rum Rhum Club and to Scott for asking me if I'd be interested in presenting at a Rum Rhum Club meeting. And thank you to Tom and Sherri for their help in all those things that make the RRC run - handouts, postcards, stamping passports. :)

This was, in all sincerity, a real thrill for me personally.

Mahalo!

May have to drag GROG' mom to Tonga Hut for this. Be careful. She's an angry drunk.

Do it GROG, I've done it ... You won't be disappointed ... neither will she.
