Dog days - Thursdays 223

[lbaker]

WOOOOO BARK BARK. Now most know that "the dog days of summer" are actually referring to the allignment of the stars in the sky during August (not Hollywood Blvd "stars" :rolleyes: ) so let's think of some sort of starry starry night/stardust drink. hmmmmm, suggestions? While you put your thinking caps on I'll try to sweep up a bit and wipe off the sketty noodles that have been flung around (durn you monkey boy :mad: ).

[gini]

I thought she said put on your drinking hats - and here I am waiting with this stupid hat on my head!!

[smokey the elder]

No brainer-a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster! :p (Keys to be stashed in L&F if anyone imbibes, however!)

[lbaker]

Gini is that a frilly little sleeping cap you're wearing? How FETCHing (speaking of Dog Days ~ ar ar ar :p ) A WHAT kind of Gargling thing Smokey?? :confused: um, hows about starting off a bit slower *geezy peezy*.

[Lady's Human]

Can I pass on the Pan galactic gargle blaster and just hit me in the head with a gold brick wrapped in lemon?

How about Goldschlager shots?

[lizbud]

Well, thinking hats, drinking hats, it's all the same right? :p I'll have to
mull over these drink selections. They all sound a bit strong for me. ;)

[jackie]

Isn't it Wednesday?

[lvpets2002]

Not in New Zealand, it's not! Richard very kindly considers the whole planet when he opens the bar. Or Laurie. Or whoever. :D

[lbaker]

"It's 5 o'clock somewhere " ;)

I much prefer the drinking theme, but according to The Old Farmer's Almanac, the dog days of summer actually mean this -


The dog days are the hottest and most unhealthy days of the year. This period is traditionally the 40 days beginning July 3 and ending August 11.


So we might as well drink them away. My choice is a Long Island Iced Tea.

Yup, it's Wednesday, or Hump Day as it's often called around here, however Thursday's has been known to open as early as Tuesday but usually opens on Wednesdays as we can't wait to start carousing!

That said, I'll have whatever the bartender is pouring and a platterful of something for lunch :D

[lbaker]

"Dog Days" as mentioned when I opened the thread relate to the stars, specifically: The brightest of the stars in Canis Major (the big dog) is Sirius, which also happens to be the brightest star in the night sky. In fact, it is so bright that the ancient Romans thought that the earth received heat from it. Look for it in the southern sky (viewed from northern latitudes) during January.

In the summer, however, Sirius, the “dog star,” rises and sets with the sun. During late July Sirius is in conjunction with the sun, and the ancients believed that its heat added to the heat of the sun, creating a stretch of hot and sultry weather. They named this period of time, from 20 days before the conjunction to 20 days after, “dog days” after the dog star.

Boy, that Iced Tea looks devine but I hear they pack a real wallop. I think I'll just have a cooling white wine spritzer *wine whine wine skooly ooly* :cool:

[Lady's Human]

Nah, we have to wait for it to come out on DVD!

Ratatouille without so much rat in it!

[lbaker]

At last!! Something I can do with all my zucchini! YEAAA! The garden is bursting right now. I love it. I just brought in a ripe 'mater, a cuke, balsamic vinegar and excellent olive oil for lunch. But it's breakfast for me :confused: Maybe I'm in Tomorrow Land and it's still din-din time?? Those time zone things get me sooo confuzzled ;)

[cassiesmom]

Gazpacho?

[lvpets2002]

[RICHARD]

Hi everyone.
I am working so I'll check in when I can.....


LOL,

Jackie,

I open the bar early because of the International Date Line.

It took me awhile to figure out that the IDL has nothing to do with palms or women...... :rolleyes: :confused: :D KK had to explain it to me! :)



NO fair posting pictures of cocktail.....It's only 11 a.m. here!

[lbaker]

"palms or women"... oh RICHARD, you're pretty quick for before noon :D

[RICHARD]

I love you guys, I always know where to go if I need a good laugh.

[RICHARD]

I did have a calendar joke ready too.....Get it? Dates?
Hey, drink a beer at the races, eh?
-----------

When I need a laugh I do to the bathroom and look in the mirror! :eek:

I'll be back in the P.M. for some serious bartending...Is there any drink with Ben Gay in it? :rolleyes:

[Grace]

Is there any drink with Ben Gay in it?

None that I'm aware of, but you could try my other favorite. A couple of these might make the hurt go away.

Lady says, "Who needs a boat?"


Lady, you had such fun at the pond! Can I pet you for a bit? Is there any lemonade today?

[Lady's Human]

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get GOOD pictures of a black dog?


We have lots of pictures of lady, but most of them are of a black shiny blob that's somewhat dog shaped! :p

[Karen]

Lady is almost always ready for petting, and she's probably even dry by now, cassiesmom! And as you can see by the photo - she is a leaner! ;)

Mmmmmm - gazpacho, please, bartender (I am so allergic to it in real life - the only thing in it I am NOT allergic to to some degree is the tomato, so I'd love some here at Thursdays) with a big glass of (hypoallergenic) iced tea with lemon!

[joycenalex]
