Fumbled Football
When your team scores a touchdown… Shot of tequila! And when the team misses that last second field goal to tie the game… Shot of something else. Spoon University suggests several beverages to soften the loss. Chamomile tea if no suitable tranquilizer is available. A Starbucks Double Chocolate Moga because why not? A Dark ‘n Stormy rum and ginger beer cocktail might feel right. Then there’s always lukewarm leftover beer. Until next week…. Cheers!
Out The Wazoo
BuzzFeed shared some Boomer phrases that we are apparently known to employ. Here are a few that we need to renew if we’ve stopped using them. They’re what make us Buzzed Boomers uniquely us.
“So, what’s the damage” when you get the check at a restaurant.
“I’m videoing this.”
Saying “Lemme ask you something” before asking a question.
The phrase “That’s the million dollar question.”
Saying “pot” instead of “weed.”
The phrase “I guess you hated it” when someone finishes their meal.
Saying you’re going to “zap” something when you microwave it.
The word “widget.”
The phrase “Out the Wazoo,”
And lastly, calling a remote control a “clicker.”

Plane Drinking
We just read an article in National Geographic about alcohol having heightened and generally worse effects when flying than when on the ground. You’ve probably heard that before. We’ll sum up what they said about flying and drinking. Don’t overdue it.
We’ll try to remember that.

“Do Less. It’s Good For You. Unproductive moments can boost health and happiness.”
That’s enough blogging for today.

Celebrate VD!
Valentine’s Day Champagne Cocktail. Sparkling! Check. Pink! Check. Fancy Chambord liqueur! Check. Romantic! Check. Emergen-C 1,000 mg Vitamin C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix! Sad but true. We immediately thought, “Hey, we can make this a little bit healthy!” Don’t do what we do. Or say.

French Blonde
We’re reading Taylor drinks French Blonde cocktails. Need we say more? Why not serve them for the Taylor Bowl? Gin, the French aperitif Lillet, St-Germain liqueur, and grapefruit juice. Combine ingredients in a Super Bowl-sized pitcher, drink, and then make a pitcher for your guests.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E
Rest In Peace David McCallum. His acting and musical credits are impressive but we will always remember him as Illya Kuryakin whose cool demeanor, physical proficiency with any weapon, and passion for art, music and science – not to mention his wealth of blonde hair – made him an immediate favorite among female viewers, whose fan mail to the actor was the most ever received in the history of MGM, which produced the show.

Corpse Reviver #2 To Die For
Praise be to the few restaurants that retain the professionalism of yesteryear. El Gaucho in Seattle is one such establishment. The seasoned staff still don tuxedos. The service is excellent. The food is superb. The drinks are delightful.
We requested that Jay our bartender serve one of his favorites. Gin forward, Lillet, Cointreau, Absinthe and lemon juice. And that’s how we ended up with a Corpse Reviver #2.
