switching from whiskey to Joose?

what an idiot.

i probably should wait to tell you about this idea when you’re not hungover but it occurs to me now that you are exactly the person to tell about the jonathan brandis.

the jonathan brandis is an awesome drink invented by some of my (ex? :/) friends in boston.

we always made it with sparks, but it would work with joose too. basically you take a big ol chug out of one of those alcoholic energy drinks and top it off with the whiskey of your choice (maker’s is best, obviously). then you kinda swirl it around and drink the can as fast as humanly possible.

are you ready to be the best human being it is possible for you to be for about three hours? have two jonathan brandises.

honey, you should warn her about the “panties on the floor” side effects of this drink.

if you think the “best human being possible” keeps her panties on, then i don’t know who you are

AHEM. This was a Boston/Chicago/Champaign collaborative recipe, thank-you-very-much. We also created the lesser known “Divorced Santa” that same trip. We are the Alfred Nobel of inventing drinks. So. Much. Delicious. Regret. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dancomono/116572683/

NB: I actually drank the first Jonathan Brandis at our friend Melanie’s Oscars party a couple weeks earlier. Although I remember the guests looking aghast as I passed it around - “no, it’s really good!” - I think the name came later, maybe when we were up late watching “Ladybugs.” It’s hard to say for sure, though, considering how much you tend to remember when you’re drinking Jonathan Brandises.

I was out of town the weekend Dan and Jenn were visiting; when I got back Sunday night, this was waiting for me in my kitchen:

Other variations included the Brad Renfro, the Corey Haim, the Len Bias and the Dennis Wilson (G&T variations that we tried to flavor with Popsicles), and the best-left-forgotten Razzle Dingley (seen here).

I cheerfully drank all of those things, but I remember the Divorced Santa as being unspeakably foul.

The Rather Late Ubiquitous Season Preview Update

nbaplayoffs2009:

And if you want to continue on with the idea of comparing TV shows to teams, let’s look at the Boston Celtics and the show, “Breaking Bad.” The entire Celtics line up is Walter White and Rajon Rondo is Jesse Pinkman. It’s a combative relationship that defines the meaning of love/hate. Yet, they need each other in order to survive. While Rondo may becoming through a bit of a “Me first” phase, his scrappy attitude would seem so out of place on any other team in the association. We saw what happened when Jesse took the advice or started to hang out with somebody other than Walter.

Does this mean that all the Celtics dancers will die of heroin overdoses and Tommy Heinsohn is gonna kill Greg Dickerson with an ATM machine?
