To date myself, I crushed on Joey from NKOTB. ::hangs head in shame::

I crushed on Donnie and Marky Mark. The tradition of liking the "bad boys" is deep within me. Not that they were all that tough, but....

To date myself, I crushed on Joey from NKOTB.

Um, more than fans of Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett? I think not.

Shaun Cassidy, Hey Deenie:

SQUEE!!!! I was transported back to the late 70s there for a minute. Now all we need is some Hardy Boys eps...

Somehow, I ended up with a crush on Parker Stevenson, not Shaun Cassidy, from the Hardy Boys. That might have been a subconscious decision to preserve my friendship with my BFF.

Um, more than fans of Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett? I think not.

Oh, I meant dating me as in "much younger than everyone who's chimed in so far."

Cassidy's hot though.

I also liked the one that had him in his tennis whites. He was so pretty!

LEIF freaking GARRETT?!?!?!?

Trudy, you are the Bomb Diggetty of all time!

Now I prefer the more sedate vodka tonic. I suspect I need a secondary drink, though.

Vodka tonic made with mandarin or citron vodka? That's my club drink of choice.

Dude, all y'alls are listing these swanky drinks or funky drinks or, well, drinks with more than one ingredient, and all I can think is: my 3 favorite alcoholic beverages have only one ingredient.

1. Beer. In a can, in a bottle, in a mug, domestic, import, lite, regular -- I do not discriminate. Beer here.

2. Wine, preferably a hairy zinfandel or lusty shiraz (in cool weather) or buttery chardonnay (in warm weather).

3. Bourbon. In a glass, over ice. (That might be 2 ingredients. Shit.)

Despite my wine love, I am, when it comes down to it, just a redneck.

»ot that they were all that tough, but

they were HANGIN TOUGH.

as for drinks, I can only say yes. I like gimlets and vodka tonics. Also Jack and ginger. Sometimes whiskey sours (depends on the sour mix) I've also started drinking a concoction of Absolut Citron, soda and a splash of Rose's. Refreshing and not too sweet.

Beer. In a can, in a bottle, in a mug, domestic, import, lite, regular -- I do not discriminate. Beer here.

I love a cold beer, but only in a bottle. Ever. Cans taste funny, and the beer gets warm too quickly in a glass.

And I really only like stuff like Bud or Corona. I think I may have you beat in the redneck department. Recently I had some Arbormist Berry Wine. On purpose.

Every single drink y'all have named, I like. I may have missed my calling as a lush, as even with my very catholic taste in alcohol, I actually drink pretty infrequently.
