Oh, and sign that my children are adapting to their new surroundings?
We saw a baby furry at Barnes and Noble the other day. (Teenager, street clothes w/tail and ears) and Abby did a minor double take, then shrugged and went on looking at the manga shelves.
Trust me when I say this is not something we would have ever encountered in Jacksonville.
A bar is where you order hoity-toity fancy-shmancy $10 cocktails
::weeps::
I tried to order a fancy cocktail this weekend and nobody there knew what a Dark and Stormy was. So I paid high coin for a Ketel gimlet instead. I should know better than to ask Buffistas for drink suggestions. Arcane hipsters.
I haven't bought anything other than a vodka gimlet straight up in
years.
A Dark & Stormy is no good unless the bar has real ginger beer.
Ginger beer, yum. I like it so bitey it makes my tongue hurt.
A Dark & Stormy is no good unless the bar staff has heard of it.
Dude, let us break for lunch.
I went to a fancy bar once and they didn't know what a grasshopper was. So I told them and they made some for us. Nummy!
And it turns out that what I told them to make was a Wisconsin variant, made with ice cream instead of cream. (The other indredient is crème de menthe.) That's the way my parents made them.
In the North Central states, especially Wisconsin, Grasshoppers are blended drinks where ice cream is substituted for cream.

OTOH, The Manhole? Just a gay bar.
And closed. It's now Hydrate. Also a gay bar.
I may be pre-verted.
May be? Honey, own it. It's one of the reasons I love you.
msbelle, you might find something cosmetically acceptable on this page.
