Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I told ya drinks were free 6 to 6:15. Couldn’t decide on a libation for the occasion. Then I remembered. What young, unsophisticated Bob woulda had. Quality Scotch? Nope. Champagne? Hahaha! Beer. Yeah, but that’s not a celebration drink. Ya need hard likker. Then it hit me like a Creedence Clearwater Revival tune turned up to 11! Rum and Coke! Drink of choice for the young and foolish in the 70s. O course I wouldn’t have had a Ron Zacapa 23. Too much $$$$ for me back then. But I understand now that life is too short to drink cheap liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My former next-door neighbor was a 'Nam vet who served in the Army. He was VERY jumpy, and one time when I came up to him in his garage he nearly jumped clean out of his skin. He also hated 4th of July fireworks. He told me a few stories that he likely didn't tell many others, such as the first man he killed as well as the time his firebase was nearly overrun (I forget which one it was).

Best drink I ever had was a pull on a bottle of brandy, sitting in the back of a deuce and a half on the banks of the Danube river, at midnight awaiting the completion of a bridge being constructed by the Engineers.

Henry T Harrison Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I was the President of the Crime Prevention Association of Pennsylvania. The main speaker at our yearly conference was Steven White the Chief Deputy Constable of the Republic of Northern Ireland. After the conference we adjourned to a friend’s home in the woods to continue the conference. We cracked a large bottle of Jack and the three of us started in on it. I thought I could drink but I was wrong. That bottle disappeared and I learned never try to out drink an Irishman even if he was from the North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
