The Empty Flask

Posted on January 16, 2008 - 7:38am
When I returned home from work yesterday I found three packages awaiting on my front porch.
 
One was a hanging lamp (future project), one was a fabulous prize package from Big Pappa (more on that soon) and the third was a new flask!
 X Flask
Wonton picked this one out and we agreed on getting it embossed with a big "X".
  • Because my middle name is Xavier? No, it's not.
  • Because Professor X is my personal hero and inspiration? No, I don't aspire to be handy-capable.
  • Because electric xylophone jazz is the best drinking music? Yes but that's not the reason.
It's simply because the letter X is the most awesomest of all letters. Closely followed by J.
 
Anywho, now we have to decide what our inaugural booze will be. Here's a few ideas...
  • Goldshlagger: Goes nicely with our $1 bill salads and burns stomach lining warms nicely in the winter season.
  • MD 20/20: Because we can taste the difference between the 18% Red Grape Wine flavor and the upscale 13%.
  • Wild Irish Rose: Preferably the white label because we love the taste of rubbing alcohol.
We'd love to break it's seal with a big bottle of Ripple but you just can't find that stuff anymore.

That flask should come with a "lust, caution" warning!

And here I was assuming that the "X" meant that you failed at buying a Dos Equis flask. Horribly.

I love the letter J. It's the bomb-diggity, yo. Also, MD 20/20 gives me hives. It was the first "wine" I ever got drunk on and, um, it didn't taste nearly as good coming up as it did going down. :) Also, I'll be signing up now, since your math detector hatesme. Honestly, 4+2 is 6, right? Not according to your gate keeper. ARGH!

I think you should put some 151 in there and blow fire stream outta your mouth with your XZippo lighter! BTW @ Inshanee--Dos Equis is da bomb but how would you get a lime in that flask?

I vote for Goldschlager. I wonder if you poop gold flakes when you drink too much of that?

Have you considered Jägermeister? That'll put the hair right on your chest (which is unfortunate if, like me, you happen to be of the female persuasion).

@Meleah
It's our first - does that mean I''v joined some kind of brotherhood?
 
@Lis
Hands off, sister.
 
@InShaneee
Ew. Beer in a flask? Ew. It could have been a even more failed attempt at buying a Vin Diesel/Ice Cube movie tribute flask.
 
@JennyJinx
Do you return to read follow up comments? I hope you do! J people will one day rule the world. Jarack Obama '08! The very fact that you've gotten tanked on Mad Dog gives you high-roller street cred around these eparts *high five*.
And yes, my math troll-under-the-bridge doesn't always work. I'm working on it. If I turn if off I get 50-100 spam messages per day :(
 
@Allyn
X Zippo = brilliant! I've got a new b-day idea for myself! When I was in high school I had a Zippo engraved with the word "Beer". It was awesome.
 
@Andy
There's only one way to find out...
 
@RollerKaty
Jäger is a staple in our freezer - just like fish sticks and ice cream (not together). I also use it as a prop in a lot of my pictures - as seen here among others.
