"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But they aren't made better by being put in a glass!

Yes, they are. They need to be over ice. Are you shoving crushed ice into your Diet Vanilla Coke too?

Rum and coke is made better by adding a lime, but then you have three ingredients! Is what I was getting at.

It takes exactly three minutes to put ice in a glass, put in your shot (or two) of rum, and squeeze a lime into it. When you are finished you have a beautiful and satisfying drink, and your parents aren't ashamed of you when they come over unexpectedly and catch you swigging vodka out of your Diet Vanilla Coke like a teenager at a high school football game.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It takes exactly three minutes to put ice in a glass, put in your shot (or two) of rum, and squeeze a lime into it.

But then, once your dishes have built up, it takes 100 thousand minutes to work up the effort to wash them. Dishes suck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It takes exactly three minutes to put ice in a glass, put in your shot (or two) of rum, and squeeze a lime into it.

That presupposes having ice and limes in the house, and then creates both a glass and a knife to wash.

Always Anti-fascist!

I never did that. I suppose it's not too late.

Oh, also, I truly have no shame. It was less than a year ago that I was hustling my boyfriend out of bed and out of my house because my parents showed up when I wasn't expecting them.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm ALWAYS ON THE LIST.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gimlets need sugar, dammit!

No! I'm with Hec and the Jane on this one.

Gimlets shouldn't cost $10, right? It was fucking tasty, but that seemed steep. Got to make sure I never buy those when someone else is paying.

It was less than a year ago that I was hustling my boyfriend out of bed and out of my house because my parents showed up when I wasn't expecting them.

Oh, that's too funny. And precisely the sort of thing I'd do had I a guy to shove out of my house. And I'm nearly 40.

No, sometimes you're not, but those times are so short-lived that no one bothers to tell you!

Nice place, name-brand vodka, it's not crazy. At least it's mostly a glass of booze. Ten bucks for a froofy drink that's mostly juice and bullshit kills me.
