Oh, c'mon, T! Where's your sense of adventure? Tsk!

It lost an argument with his sense of privacy. And his desire to avoid paying for the drinks of serial martini drinkers

For what it's worth, when the serial martini drinker visited me, he had a margarita.

In South Carolina he was ready to settle for a beer, but I insisted we find him a martini. And it made the fun evening last longer.

The margarita was because there was at the time an awesome Mexican restaurant near me that had great margaritas. Alas, the owners decided they'd do better in another part of town, so they closed the location where they had been for 30 years and moved. The new place has higher prices and many longtime regulars have reported disappointment. It's a shame when someone has a good thing and then they spoil it.

Booze is terribly cheap here in the Philippines. You can get a (pretty good) local beer for less than a dollar - and that isn't even during happy hour.

Our cocktails are pretty cheap too! You can find pitchers of drinks for around 5 bucks.

When I was in grad school, one of my friends taught me how to drink beer on the cheap. Get the beer you like first, then switch to the cheap kind (the bar we would go to had $1 bottles of cheap Canadian beer). It worked.

I suppose the longer you stay, the less you care what you drink!

I feel so old now. I can remember Rocky mentioning the beer thing in at least one other thread of this type.

It would serve everyone right if I decided to have a few beers before heading off to work today, but I probably won't.

I guess I have mentioned it before. I usually had a Bass Ale for my first.

I doubt the place I was in had ever seen a decent ale. That side of the evening was poor. There are so many places that have an embarrassing selection of drinks in this neck of the woods.

Some would argue that that's what I get for drinking in the woods...

At least you can get good beer in the woods over there. The only things you can get in the woods here are flowing rivers, awesome rock formations, mosquito bites, the occasional native guide, a few rare endemic species, and kidnapped*. (only in the far south)

I wonder if, in addition to necks, woods have shoulders also.

Straight, firm shoulders?

Sounds good to me.

Shoulders, or triceps, or biceps?

Now watch at least fifty posters come out and admit to having an Ent fetish.

Me, though. I'm just a treehugger. I'm not a [cough] "treehugger." Heck, I've never even read more than about 30 pages of Tolkien.

I've never read Tolkien at all. I did enjoy the Lord of the Rings movies at the time, though I don't know how they'd hold up.

I could never watch the whole trilogy in one sitting, though I have tried on several occasions.

I've never tried watching them all in one sitting. That would be like eating three ice cream sundaes in a row.

My sister is a huge LoTR fan and always tries to get me watch it when a marathon is on. I make it through the first one and then clock out.

Hey look, I was just having a drink in the woods. I wasn't trunk, I mean drunk, and I certainly wasn't foolin' with no foilage.

Okay, I'm not even going to ask what those "dewdrops" on the leaves really are...

Like many others, I have barely read any Tolkien. I appreciate his ideas, but really can't get around his writing style.

Ooooooh. That's nice, Fanfie/
