Cherry Bomb, Yes. Mint Bomb, Fuck NO!!

So out for pizza and drinks with [livejournal.com profile] artskat tonight. Now, Arty drinks beer, which is fine. I can't drink beer. It makes me super congested and way too snotty for public appearances. If I was in a nice restaurant, I would drink wine, no ifs, ands, or buts, but Teh Bar is not known for it's wine list.

Lately, I have been experimenting with Red Bull drinks. I mean, if Britney Spears drinks RB and vodka it's gotta be okay, right? Usually I go for Absolute, but tonight I asked for Stoli. I get my drink, take a sip and FUCK! It has a mint aftertaste. I tell Arty how nasty it is and then encourage her to try it because that is the kind of generous person I am. She agrees that there is a mint aftertaste and believe you me, mint and RB do NOT mix. I take it up to the bar, explain that it tastes like ass and ask for another only to have the bartender swear that all she put in it was Stoli. I really hate it when people think you are fucking nuts (happens ALL the time ;)and don't believe you when you say something tastes wrong. I left the drink with her, put my bitch face on and went back to our table, silently threatening to burn the place down (I don't even have a lighter, really), when she yells across the bar, "Hey, you're right, it does taste like mint."
Validated in my vodka connoisseurship, I was given a fresh drink with my beloved Absolute. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the bottle of Stoli was contaminated with a Rumplemintz spout. Damn drunken lesbian barmaids.

I tried to get a JaegerBomb, but they were out of Jaegermeister, so I had a Cherry Bomb instead. Very nice, but a little too sweet for me. Mrs. CB would love it. I didn't actually get intoxicated tonight which is nice as I have an important decision to make tomorrow and I will need my wits about me.

Arty and I brainstormed away on a few upcoming projects and did NOT get strange looks from the bar crowd or the staff. We are becoming regulars again :)Teh Bar has the BESTEST pizza in Columbus and even though CB Jr. is causing some abdominal distress, I did manage to put more than a few slices away.

Probably should consider going to bed now...gotta 4-day weekend and a ton of research to do.
