3rd Gen General Discussion Poster Child Thread and Weekend Drinking Haiku - Tacoma Flex Friday

I think the geico dude is just a common lizard. Anyway, I'm gonna drink some more.

 

Just a regular gecko. We have a lot of 'em around here "supposedly" eating bugs. I think they're spying on me.

The iguana is involved somehow, I'm certain. Maybe as a mid-level enforcer.

Ultimately, though, I think there's a chameleon behind the whole scam. The problem is that no one's been able to find him. Sneaky bastards.

 

Years ago I was sitting in a backyard having a few cocktails, ok maybe a few too many, but anyway it was getting dark and the bugs were starting to brew so I turned on the bug zapper. As I had my "one too many" cocktails I turned around to see this little bearded guy staring me down. See the bug zapper was taking away from his dinner and he wasn't happy about it. So I start staring him down and slur a few "What's yur problem?". Little bugger gives me one of those hisses those things do. Well let me tell you, I got up and punted that little fellow a good 30 yards. Poor thing never was the same. I've seen him a few times since then, doesn't hiss much anymore and got a bum leg. Every once in a while I'll toss him a cricket, but now I try to stay away from the booze in honour of that little guy and his friends.

Drink'in wine tonight.

I keep staring at it like Pittrider stared at that iguana, but it just won't turn into Whiskey.

So very sad...

 

IDK, i like wine once in a while. Barolo is my favourite, but not cheap.

 

Yeah I might actually develop a taste for it one of these days if I stop being so cheap.
Any suggestions for a bargain cab? Had something called thorny rose, wasn't too shabby.
Don't care too much for this black box stuff I'm drink'in now.

 

Well for me, Valpolicella's from Italy, Barolo's of course, and a lot of Australian's. I'd recommend California wines, but the cost in Canada is ridiculous. A $10 bottle down there is $30 here. Was down in CA last year and tried a few. Very good but don't remember names. We have good wine from here too, but you have to go to the vineyards to get the really good stuff, liquor stores here stock the cheaper versions.

All red wines, don't really like whites.

 

I'm having William Hill chardonnay tonight. Reds I prefer malbec or pinot noir to cab so can't help you with that. I like all the Bota Box stuff but I'm not a super sophisticated wine drinker.

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys, don't drink white wines often but usually like a Riesling.
Though that just might be because it tastes like it has sugar in it.
Not exactly sophisticated myself.

 

I do feel pretty classy when I drink wine though...

I may be in my underwear, but that doesn't mean I can't drink from a crystal chalice.
I feel like going door to door and asking my neighbors if the have any grey poupon. (still in my underwear holding my chalice)

 

Instant lock haha

Anyone know what happened?

 

I can just imagine how that was going to be replied to.

This one was locked quick

 

Mondays have improved a lot since retirement.

 

So jealous!!! Fuck my life.

 

Yeah well the downside to retirement is you have to get old . Just like our trucks. More miles = higher maintenance costs.
