Wednesday Night Follies

As usual, Wednesday night was spent at the People's over in Central Square. The usual crew was out. For most of us, nothing short of a nuclear holocaust will keep us from heading out to the bar.

And, of course, my dart team, J^2 failed to show up yet again. We had one great game a couple of weeks ago, and convinced ourselves that we are the best in the game. Except, we've never been able to 8-peat, 3-peat, or even re-peat. Maybe it was the 4 beers we had before we started playing... and the 2 more beers during the game. Or was it the shot of B&B. (No, that was after the game).

So, on to the follies -- Have you ever had B&B before? Its not meant to be a shot. Its really an after dinner cognac style drink. For some reason, one of my buddies thinks its the greatest shot in the world. Most bars around Boston don't even have the drink. The People's has it, but every time the bartender brings down the bottle for a shot, there's a layer of dust on it. I think we're the only ones who actually drink the crap.

This past Wednesday was Valentine's day, and one of our random (really cute female) friends showed up who had recently broken up with her boyfriend. To make things better, it was her birthday too! So how do you celebrate a St. Valentine's Day Birthday with a really awesome girl???

You guessed it - B&B shots. Oh so tasty. Well, she (and her friend) didn't think so and could barely keep the shit down. How do you keep from hurling a B&B shot? Have smoke outside in the rain, ice, sleet, blizzard crap. Seriously. Works like a charm.

The downside, I think that shot killed all my charm, and I pretty much turned into a drunken, bluthering idiot. Perfection. I can barely remember the T ride home to Porter.

So kids, what lesson did we learn today? B&B shots rule! And chicks that will do B&B shots rule even more.

Peace out
