Charlottesville has a new club! It seems some thirsty people got together and combined their drinking efforts. Apparently, the club was created for those that like to “catch up” with friends in the middle of the week. The club has over 100 fans on its facebook page and a pretty neat little web site. This club started March 28, 2008 and is growing like a wild fire.
The club meets every Wednesday night. They even offer to text your cell phone with location and updates. Also where ever they happen to meet offers drink specials to club members. It cost nothing to join and attendance does not seem to be required. Check out their site below!
I jacked the weekend preview to get revenge on Thor for stealing my Washington Post story. What’s the line? The Early bird gets the worm? Uck worms…which are certain to be out in full force after all this rain. Unfortunately, according to the weather forecast, this is not the last of it. Today is supposed to be rain with thunder and lightning (geee, thanks Thor). Tomorrow is calling for partly sunny with some rain. Sunday calls for rain, rain, and more rain. Don’t let the weather keep you in (unless there are tornado warnings, in which case only weather women should be out)…put on your red panties and check out some of what is lined up for the weekend:
Here is it April. I keep catching glimpses of the sun and in hopeful anticipation of it sticking round, whip out my sunglasses. The second I get them on the clouds roll in. Sun or no sun, I have definitely got a bad case of spring fever. No matter the man, when I’m walking down the mall, I just want to jump everyone. I even steal extra looks at girls in their cute little skirts. I am in no way interested in them, but can feel the effects of cabin fever reversing. I am ready to go out and play, playmate optional, but preferred.
I know all this built up anxiety and eagerness stem from the need for outdoor physical activity. I am sure you are all right there with me. So in an effort to avoid needing one of those lovely over-the-counter paternity tests, I am offering a list of some outdoor fun to enjoy in the spring in Charlottesville.
Get Outdoors–Meet Some New People with Outdoor Adventure Social Club
More simply you could just have Dinner or a Drink Outside at: Blue Light, Miller’s, Sticks, Orzo, McGrady’s, Christian’s, Bizzou, Etc. This is always a guaranteed way to enjoy nice weather, but may not provide much needed spring fever release.
Making moonshine seems to be a continued pastime among Southerners old and young alike. When I first moved to the area I was introduced to the awful substance. The West Coast has its “microbrew in your basement” fad and the southern part of the east coast can boast liquor making skills that can kill. This recipe came up when I googled bacon, so random. I thought since a couple weeks ago parlie called us all out on having slightly alcoholic tendencies, I would assist in taking us all the way to the border of needing AA. I see no better way to achieve that than by making an alcohol (moonshine style) you can drink with your morning eggs?
Cheers villains.
Bacon Vodka
Makes up one pint:
Fry up three strips of bacon
Add cooked bacon to a clean pint sized mason jar. Trim the ends of the bacon if they are too tall to fit in the jar. Or you could go hog wild and just pile in a bunch of fried up bacon scraps.
Optional: add crushed black peppercorns.
Fill the jar up with vodka. Cap and place in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks.(No need to refrigerate)
At the end of the three week resting period, place the bacon vodka in the freezer to solidify the fats. Strain out the fats through a coffee filter to yield a clear filtered pale yellow bacon vodka.
Earlier this week, a little birdie told me of the best bad pick-up line she’d heard. To wit:
“Baby, you smell like Rose’s…the store, not the flowers.”
Of course, I would never stoop to denigrate a retail chain doing business locally, not least a chain that offers an embarrassment of riches in the category of fantastic White Elephant gifts and other discounted wares. (Huzzah Rose’s! Go you! Please don’t sue!)
But this birdie’s pick-up line does reel the mind. What is the worst pick-up line you’ve heard, ‘Villains? And, failing that, (and I’m looking at you, mc, b-yo, ThatGrrl, and oy here) what’s the worst pick-up line you can come up with?
It’s Friday, and it’s the first weekend in Spring. Fertility is thick on the ground. Let’s do our part to help prevent people from getting laid.
