Cocktail Hour, a webcomic by Scraps

Seven Deadly Glasses by Hamilton Design are just… wow. I mean, really, those vessels are incredible. Price available on request? I’m not sure I want to know because, um, I might be really tempted. Click through to the second page to see not only the rest of the glassware but the case, as well. (Good thing I’ve sworn off superfluous purchases for the month!) (Link via Needcoffee.com)
Tomorrow, July 19th, is National Daiquiri Day. What’s your favorite flavor? Back home in Ponchatoula, of course, Strawberry reigns supreme but I had a yummy Mango Daiquiri last month at Red Lobster (of all places) that could stand-in quite nicely for some of the sub-par, mostly ice versions that abound. The key to the frozen daiquiri (which is what most of us are familiar with) is a high ratio of fruit to ice. Making sure all the ingredients are ice-cold before they go into the blender will also keep the mixture from becoming watered down too quickly (along with insulated cups!).

Seems to be a theme we’re developing here, no? So I’ve given it a name (and a tag): AlcoHolidaze(tm)

Today, July 24th, is actually National Tequila Day so bring on those Margaritas! Sure, there are other things to do with ol’ Jose, but few are more fun.

Tomorrow (the 25th), on the other hand, is National Scotch Day… or is it the 27th? There seems to be some disagreement among the Internet about who gets to claim that honor, but you can cover your bases by indulging on both, just to be sure (as if you needed an excuse, right?) Personally I’m not all that fond of Scotch, it’s a bit too harsh for me. I’ll stick to the “clear” liquors and call it a night!

To friend, fan and “cast member” Sandy. Wishing you more shoes than your closet could hold (and a happy delivery for your little one; it’s soon, isn’t it?)

Speaking of Girls Next Door! One of the Girls, Bridget Marquardt has a Sirius show on Playboy Radio and I (try to remember to) listen to it from the office. It’s a morning show over in California but thanks to time-zones it plays live at 1pm, so works out pretty well for those of us on the East Coast. (And, yes, it _was_ one of the deciding factors in getting a Sirius subscription.)

Anyway! Today’s show featured a kinda funny Bridget-ism:

Drexting (v) to text people (even those sitting across the table from you) while drunk

I love it! It’s the text-generation’s version of drunk-dialing only somewhat more fun and, you know, the messages can be saved for later I only wish Bridget was on Twitter, that would be so much fun, Twitter-addict that I am. She said on the show not to ever give her your number, you will be drexted, but I think I’d be honored to get a drext from her.

[ETA: Oh! Bridget didn't come up with this one! Urban Dictionary lists that version of drexting as early as January, 2007. There's an alternate definition, as well, which is to text while driving. The latter's not exactly safe (though I admit to having done it before, in very slow-moving traffic) and I'd certainly hate to hear of a combined practice. What would that be called? Drextdring?]
