On the way home last night, I stopped by Big Foot for Paul’s Drunkass Food, and while there I took a look at the menu for these new 34-ounce mixed drinks they’re selling for $9.99. Here’s a list:<\/p>\n
Goombay Smash – this is the one they’ve always had, with 5 different rums, sloe gin and pineapple juice.<\/p>\n
Big Foot Long Island Tea – the usual ingredients, except it’s 34 ounces. Think about how messed up a regular-sized 12 oz. Long Island Tea can get you and then multiply by almost three. Scary.<\/p>\n
Maple Leaf – rats, I can’t read the notes I took on this one. Looks like it involves whiskey, spiced rum, Southern Comfort, banana liqueur, and two other ingredients I can’t read. I think I wrote “cranberry” for one of them but not sure.<\/p>\n
Blue Anchor – I can’t read the ingredients on this one either but it says it’s a “sorority favorite.” I’d definitely like to be in Big Foot when sorority girls come in and get drunk on these enormous drinks. Okay, I think two of the ingredients are Skyy Orange Vodka and Blue Curacao.<\/p>\n
40 Tea – Forty Creek Canadian whiskey from the north and sweet tea from the south. I can’t recall ever seeing sweet tea as a drink ingredient, but then I usually drink beer.<\/p>\n
Aboinable Bloody Mary – this one shouldn’t need explanation.<\/p>\n
Yowie Margarita – nor should this one.<\/p>\n
If you go in and try these, it would definitely be a good idea to have transportation lined up in advance. You may also want to stop by Walgreens and buy some of those hangover remedies they sell, because you’re going to need them if you mess around with these drinks.<\/p>\n
Trivia sucked last night… we did horrible. It was a Grizzlies game night and it got super crowded, which I hate. I think I’m going to keep a Grizzlies schedule in my wallet and make it a point to stay out of the Saucer on those nights. Plus those people drank up all my Dos Equis Special Lager and about 10:30 they switched the Fire Sale to Dos Equis Amber. If I start with Amber I’ve got no problem with it, but switching from Special Lager to Amber at that point in the evening was a little more than my stomach could take. So I gave up about 11:00 and went home. So much for my plan to last until close.<\/p>\n
At least that allowed me to get plenty of sleep, a good thing since I’m finally being assigned projects at work, rather than just being told “look through the code.” I’m converting existing VB.NET files to C#, and it really isn’t hard at all. Maybe it’s because I have this book<\/p>\n
which makes C# easy to understand. If you know Java or VB.NET and are looking to learn C#, this is the book for you.<\/p>\n
The Second Street Shoppers convenience store (99 S. Second across from the Peabody) is now selling beer.<\/p>\n
Plans for tonight: Heck, I don’t know. Possibly I may end up at McGuinness at some point. I had a great time in there last Wednesday. Or Hoop’s Bar, since I have a great time in there every night.<\/p>\n
