Forgive me Gods of Alcohol! I kneweth not!
« on: August 13, 2005, 09:24:12 am »
:'( :'( :'( :'(

Forgive me.

Had I known the plastic bag the clerk at the convenience store used to place my bottles of Kahlua and Bombay Sapphire Gin in for transport were faulty, I would have asked for paper. HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN THE BAG WOULD GIVE WAY, AND MY 2 PRECIOUS LITERS OF HEAVENLY FLUID WOULD SHATTER ON THE PAVEMENT IN THE PARKING LOT!??!

Please oh mighty Gods!! Do not punish me for this heinous act. Lay the blame squarely on the heathen who cared not for the safety my tasty beverages. Punish him!


I pray, let this criminal pay for what he has done and what he has wasted!





In your name, we drink. Amen.

No kidding. If you hadn't even left the property before the stuff was ruined due to cashier error, I would have gone back for more free.

I've seen grocery stores replace items because a bag broke like that.  I'm sure it's the policy of all the major chains.

The odds are pretty low that he bought those bottles from a major chain of anything, though.

Basically, even though poorly packaged, he knew he had two glass bottles in a flimsy bag.

I remember one time in HS, the only one of us who had a 21+ hookup one night insisted we all drink 40s.  We were like damn, who gives a crap, buy some 30 packs.  But no, dude is all wigged up, so he wants 40s.  Long story short, he's carrying a box full of 40s to our spot, and he drops it.  Every one of them smashed.  Imagine a group of 17 year olds who just laid out cash and waited 2 hours for idiot to come up with the alcohol...

He spent the night handcuffed to the chain link fence in the yard.

I bought the stuff at a Peltri near my house. Its like a medium sized grocery (not really a chain), store that tries to carry everything from coldcuts and cheeses, to candlesticks and socks.

I was parked out more towards the edge of the parking lot, and was carrying the bottles in my hands for the first few steps. Then I switched and grabbed the plastic handles on the bag because I had to step over a curb lined with short bushes to get to the lot where my truck was, and I needed my other hand to balance myself as I went over. The bag held up during all this, and even stayed together for the last 30 meters or so to my truck. It wasnt until I stopped, reached in my pocket, and grabbed the keys to unlock the door that the bag broke.

Seeing as how my Dutch isnt to good, it would be hard for me to go back inside and demand a replacement. I'd probably just as soon get my @ss kicked.

what exactly were you mixing that required Kahlua and gin? I think the gods of "oh-my-god-I'm-so-sick-I'll-never-drink-again-if-I-just-live-over-this" may have intervened.

Bingo.

My 3 favorite mixed drinks are White Russians, G&Ts, and Black Tooth Grins. I had the Vodka for the 'Russians and the tonic fo the G&Ts, but no gin or Kahlua for either.
