I want a martini and I want it now.
Two olives. Dry, but not too dry -- I'm tired of the bone-dry martini cliche. Vermouth is an acquired taste, stop being a sissy and learn to like it. Come to think of it, gin is also an acquired taste. Educate yourself, please. I have faith in you, really, I do.
It needs to be in one of those stupid tippy splashy senseless glasses because the absurd challenge is what makes the reward that much sweeter.
If I want to drink out of a chipped tumbler I will do it at home and you won't be invited.
Oh, and if my glass isn't cold you're getting it back...in the eyes.
Tomorrow maybe I will compromise and have a beer and sweatpants sort of night but tonight is martini night and I'm taking no prisoners.
Who else is in?
