Went to NYC last night to see my favorite band, Bleachers. Close enough for actual eye contact with Jack antonoff. GREAT time.

Looks like it was a great time, Bryan.

Oh, FFS. Last night went from, "The VP of sales is in town, he's taking the office out for a quick drink" to "Shots, bitches!" in nothing flat.

Haha awesome. I have a close friend/mentor/travelling project manager like that. A glass of Johnny Black turns to a bottle Balvennie 17 quick.

How were the shots?

Some girly cinnamon-y whiskey. At least I had rye and Stella to wash it down.

That Fireball thing?

I think so. Now last night, the Pres., CFO, and COO were in town and we did shit right... Laphroig, oysters and shrimp, $40 NY strips, some California zinfnandel I didn't know, but very good paired with the steak, and then out for a pint of the local sauer.

Did you mean sewer, if so I would drink less next time.

Oh, I get it! You mispronounced the word sauer in order to intentionally conflate it with the word "sewer," thereby intimating that I drank the contents of a sewer! The sophistication and cleverness of your humor truly knows no limits. I just beg you to stop, I don't think my ribs could stand another such salvo of hilarity.

*EDIT* But yeah, I do have a tendency toward willingness to drink anything with a label on it. I wasn't expecting the beer, though - my boss asked what I wanted from the bar of the tap room at which we had ended up, and I asked for a 70/-. She came back with something which wasn't and said, "I lived in Belgium, damnit, I know what kind of beer you want better than you do." She was absolutely correct.

Somehow got roped into working 6 days in a row, including my Friday and Saturday off... that was SO much more fun when I wasn't salary and my shifts weren't 12 hours a clip, plus 30-45 commute each way.

Damn, that royally sucks, Bryan. Sorry, dude.

I have the next three days off, thank Primus.

I wouldn't have any idea:

a) what a "sauer" is
b) how to pronounce it in the first place.

either way, there's not pleasing some people.

Most people on this forum wouldn't know what a Scotch egg is, but you wouldn't use a different term for one if you were describing a scenario involving one.

Oh how I'd kill for a Scotch egg right now!
