Quote: FarFromVegasTrue story: My dad ordered a scotch and soda and the waitress asked him "What kind of soda?"
Similar true story: I went into a Shari's once (before knowing better) and my wife wanted a glass of wine. "What kind of wine do you have?" she said. The waitress replied "we have white, red, and pink".

Is that like the answer to the question, "What kind of music do you play?", "Both kinds. Country AND Western" ?
I invented a few casino games. Info:

Waiting tables is classed as unskilled work, rigth? Some waiters are more unskilled than others.
I once ate at a palce that had just changed the entire waiting staff that day. The menu only had the names of the dishes without description. So what is a "House Steak"? The waiters didn't know.

Quote: HotBlondedo you find that you tend to change your gambling habits the more you drink? I know that's their intent ... .
Men want you to drink for their social comfort and their sexual conquests. Casinos want you to drink solely so they can turn over their tables faster. If the alcohol soaks up your entire bank roll, they then have a vacant space at the table that is available for someone else to buy in. If they don't have any other customers milling around at least they have your bankroll safely in their drop box and other coffers. Now should you drunkenly start betting large and also win, they don't much care about that since a winner tends to remain at the table and a drunk winner surely remains at the table to do battle with the house edge.
Few men admit alcohol alters their behavior at the gambling tables. Men always want to think they can hold their liquor and hold it well.
Women tend to be more aware of their alcohol intake and its effect on their behavior in a casino and more willing to admit to lapses in judgment in adjusting the size of their bets.

Cement mixers are at least sanitary... You have to really hate someone to give them a gorilla fart.
Worst shot I ever had was on my birthday. A friend of mine had the bartender throw a shot of wild turkey in the microwave for 15 seconds. Try it some time, it's horrifying!
Another bad one is tabasco and Bacardi151, I don't remember the name, but wow, it would warm you up on a cold day for sure.

But add honey and lemon and hot black tea and there's nothing better for getting over the flu. Or at least not caring that you have one.

That is the time to explain to them that a House Steak is their biggest, thickest steak they have and that they should go find it and serve it to you for the price indicated next to House Steak.

Buffalo Sweat? I know the one with Cinnamon Schnapps is the Atomic Fireball.
I was never one for drinking shots. It gets ugly when girls are pounding alcohol. I remember the night when my friends were ordering shots by color--"make us something green! Now blue!" until we realized my sister was missing. I found her on the bathroom floor. Luckily, I was the bartender so I was sober and hauled her out to where the guys could carry her out the back door and take her home.

No, but I just remembered the name. Prairie Fire! Normally it isn't made with 151, but the 151 version is murderous...

In the 70s so many women were ordering Piña Coladas that we started calling them Penis Coladas. Of course you know what they look like.

It's a fine line between "starlet in the hot tub" and "wino in the gutter" when you get the girls tipsy, though. You really don't want to cross it.

Haha, another son of Tom Leykis, I take it? He preaches that you only want them to have two or three drinks, and only liquor drinks, no beer (makes them use the restroom too much) or wine (gives them a sense of superiority)!

Nah--just an observant female. I used to hate going out drinking with friends who were dieting because they'd get sloppy drunk quickly. I'd make sure I had a hearty bacon cheeseburger or something similar in my stomach before hitting the clubs. Soup and salad don't cut it.

Quite right. Its not the amount of alcohol you consume but the rate at which it enters your bloodstream that matters. The mayonaised based sauce is great stuff.
Oh... and remember when cranberry drinks were all the rage? One of the date rape drugs is less effective in the girl has consumed cranberry juice.

One can only hope you don't know this based on personal experience!
I'm lucky to be too old to have been clubbing when that BS started.

There may be multiple issues, but I think it is grapefruit juice that has that effect. Grapefruit has a known characteristic of blocking the effectiveness of a number of pharmaceuticals. And no, if FarFromVegas were to ask again, I don't know this from personal experience. I saw a news report some years ago about a girl who had been victimized in this way. She was incapacitated, but she remembered everything that happened. Investigators were skeptical until she mentioned that she had been on a grapefruit, weight-loss diet. While she was not aware of its effect on the drugs, the investigators were, and they retracted their doubts about her story.

A 'friend' of mine bought me one of those on my 30th birthday at happy hour after work. I was ready to leave to meet my girlfriend, but he took my car keys & wouldn't give them back until I did the shot. It was the version made with 151. I slammed it down, had a slight pause, then grabbed his beer and chugged it to help put out the burn. Murderous is a fairly accurate description. I wouldn't wish that on my enemies!

Ahh, the hot toddy... whisky, hot water, lemon and honey (I don't make it with tea, but its a damn fine addition if that floats your boat).
Though anyone even -thinking- about using a 12 year old single malt for a hot toddy should be sent to bottom of the class. And there's a special place in hell for my friend who used up a rather nice 18 year old I'd been saving for their hot toddys over the course of a week....

Quote: gofaster87I think you're talking about a Prairie Dog which is 151 and Tabasco. Pretty harsh, especially after a Windex which is 151 and Blue Curacao.
I found these descriptions on Wikipedia:
Prairie Fire, Original Prairie Fire
1 part whiskey
4 drops of hot sauce
Stout Prairie Fire
0.5 to 1 part Tabasco sauce
1 part Everclear
West Texas Prairie Fire
3/4 part Everclear
1/4 Part Tabasco
Redneck Prairie Fire
1 part Louisiana Hot Sauce
1 part Grain Alcohol (White Lightning)
Caribbean Prairie Fire
0.5 to 1 part Tabasco sauce
1 part 151 proof rum
"Plain" Prairie Fire
1 shot of vodka
1 dash Tabasco sauce
Mexican Prairie Fire
1 shot of Tequila
1 dash Tabasco sauce
www.drinksmixer.com agrees with your definition of the Prairie Dog and uses the Mexican Prairie Fire combination above as it's formula for a regular Prairie Fire.
