We Will Buy No Wine…
Posted by Boy Wonder
In an attempt to show off his knowledge of wine (and perhaps provide some insight for our readers) I dragged Johnny to Pavillions in West Hollywood to peruse their wine selection. It was the night we met James Collins and we were both starved. The wine turned out to be a major disappointment so thankfully meeting James overshadowed that dark point in the evening.
What a great segment! I’m a big gin fan and usually booze up with good ol’ affordable Seagrams because I can never figure out which of the better gins to go with … you’ve now answered that for me! And thanks for the wine recommendations … Mr. Jim looks forward to trying the Sterling and Kunde. Cheers!
Rita - Bombay Sapphire is the way to go for a martini or gin and tonic. Made with water from Lake Vyrnwy in North Wales and infused with almond, lemon peel, licorice, juniper berries, orris root, angelica, coriander, cassia, cubeb, and grains of paradise the flavor is supreme!
Hendrick’s is made in Scotland and is infused with cucumber and rose petals. I haven’t had the pleasure, but Johnny is obviously smitten and we all know to trust his taste.
BW — Baby, you are so booze porn with the gin ingredient listings. Inspired by your posting, I visited Seagrams website seagramsginlive.com, (odd how the URL for booze sites can sometimes resemble those for porn sites). My regular swill is made with juniper berries, cardamom, cassia bark, orange peel, coriander, and angelica root — dire straits compared to what’s going on there in Bombay Sapphire / Hendrick’s land. Goddamn! I want grains of paradise and rose petals!
I’ll investigate and report back.
(LIT: You on this at all?)
Rita (I always want to pronounce your name “reeter”) I am also curious about LIT. He says he doesn’t get drunk so perhaps he does indulge in the odd drinkie poo now and again. For someone that limits themselves, these fine spirits would definitely be the way to go. I should also add that gin joints are classic places to set the scene for dismissing your virginity.
Rita and Boy Wonder, indeed drinking is something I do sparingly at best (or worst) depending on how you assess the situation. As a result, I probably absorb enough alcohol while utilizing Listerine as directed to qualify as tipsy afterwards. Yet, I don’t think I qualify as the buzz kill guy sitting around holding the bottle of Evian.
However, you could be on to something Jerrod. Perhaps I need to be liquored up and taken advantage of (maybe by an NHL team). Adam Faust would certainly do nicely. Johnny’s mentioning of him required digging out the August 2006 issue of Men Magazine. He is truly gorgeous! The scruff, hairy chest, and even the light wash of hair on his lower back really gets me going! I am probably sounding drunk right about now but I assure everyone I am just exceedingly tired (I also become rather slutty when sleep deprived). All of my professors have decided to give their respective exams next week and I am hoping I can sleep Thursday. It would be so much easier to polish knobs in exchange for A-grades this semester!
LIT - While I admire your enthusiasm, I strongly discourage the use of a gangbang as a doorway to your sexual life. The first sexual experience should be a wonderful, tender and rapturous event in your life. And the older you are when it happens, the more likely you are to achieve that near impossibility!!
Rita - “Booze Porn” has to be a t-shirt! Oh Johnny?…
Jerrod, I am actually more reserved than my previous post might suggest. Much of my sexually oriented postings are of the joking persuasion (especially the ones dealing with having fun with farm animals). I have always imagined that sex reaches the pinnacle of greatness when it occurs between committed, monogamous individuals whom are in love. However, I am by no means critical of casual sex. I would have gladly entered a bathroom stall with this hot guy from my Organic Chemistry class. He sat in front of me one day and could not keep his hands off his crotch! Intermittently, his head would roll backwards and he would make direct eye contact with me. Perhaps I missed some kind of signal? Oh well, I lost round one (unless he is a Hazzard Ahead reader).
Jerrod, you are even more tight-lipped than Johnny when it comes to romance. What’s your story? Are you a hopeless romantic?
OMG, that is hilaaaaaaaaarious! Are you kidding me? I tell all! Unfortunately, I haven’t a thing to reveal these days. My last involvement ended shortly after Johnny joined us for Brokeback Mountain in April. There’s no connection, of course. He just moved away. Since that time I’ve hardly been found in public and could frankly care less. I can take care of the essentials myself and the rest is just a luxury I can’t afford right now.
Jerrod, I am so sad now! Your romance had a sour ending not unlike the movie you were viewing. I hope you have chosen to remain in contact with “the cowboy” despite the distance factor. By the way, you are way hotter than Heath Ledger or Jake (I’m not even attempting to spell his last name). Hope that cheers you up this morning.
Please, there was no romance. Well, at least not on my side. And I was kind of a dick when he left. He asked me if we could keep in touch and I said, “I think I’ve already demonstrated how poorly I perform on that front.” It just goes to show you that important conversations should not occur with me before the sun clears the horizon.
