Context necessary? I think not.
"Are there bad strippers and good strippers?" -- the BarKeep
"Don't think there's not a difference." - Frisby
Quite possibly the most awkward conversation ever heard...
"Now, what am I supposed to do with that?" -- Tom
"Just lay back and enjoy it." -- The BarKeep
When doing the Harley "wave"
"I wave at everybody, 'cause I wave at everybody." -- Tom
And finally... W T F?

In no particular order, enjoy.
Upon the discussion of the BarKeep's current baby-craziness and the smell of newborn babies:
"...like laying outta couple of lines of baby head." -- Tammy
"Ooh we can get some fresh baby head!" -- Tammy and Denise
Upon the discussion of important movies:
"I've only seen that once. Can we still be friends?" -- I don't remember
Upon the pouring of a very frothy martini:
"Martinis don't usually have a head." -- Frisby
Mocking the BarKeep…

Huge thanks for all that came out for October Martini Club! We doubled our turnout from last year, and more importantly, we have A NEW CO-BARKEEP.
That's right.
I tried to shed the responsibility of tending to the site, but overwhelming feedback suggested I should stick with it another year. Surprised me, because I genuinely felt I was doing a piss poor job of promoting the Martini Club events.
I guess you people just don't learn. Pffffft.
Anyway, please welcome our new Co-Barkeep, Tammy. Sh…

Where would we like to see the 1 year anniversary Martini Club this year? I see that
Hyde Park Grille (Upper Arlington location) is an interesting choice as they have (reportedly) $4 Martinis between 4:30 and 6:30 pm.
Would our founding members be interested in dinner for the anniversary event? Less fancy, more fancy?
Other interesting candidates:…

I gotta admit, I was very impressed with the relative level of civility shown by every member of da club. I was also thrilled to see such a friggin awesome turn out.
However, I just wanted to take a moment to wish Beth (also known as Rocket or Red or Curly Sue) all the best that I have on the next phase of life. I'll miss you, my dear. It's difficult for me to realize I won't have family in the same town anymore. :(
As for the rest of you: I'm changing up a few rules for ratification. I don't…

Folks -- I'd like to invite you to contribute thoughts, posts, scribbles, rants, raves, commentary, punditizing, or just whatever you'd like to see on to the Martini Club site.
For example, we're really big on "stuff taken out of context". This could be conversation fragments (think "Overheard in New York" [just google it]), for example. OR you could contribute quotes of the night. I see too many of my own posts here, and I bore myself sometimes.
So please! Add whatever you like. Maybe you kno…

Sweet Cbus, don't tell me you're not coming out to Martini Club because of the Swine Flu. I assure you, Eric's bark is much worse than his bite, and survivability rates are actually quite high if you come within contact of him.
Besides, Martinis are booze. Booze is composed of alcohol. Alcohol KILLS GERMS. So does Purell, but I don't recommend drinking it.
So don't hand me no pantywaist weaksauce excuse that you can't come out because of the Swine flu.
This has been your daily PSA.

We have nearly 40 members to The Martini Club! That's counting our Floridian division AND our Canadian nationals! I can't wait for this month's CMH Martini Club night at Columbus Fish Market -- As I understand it, they have complementary appetizers if you buy drinks.
That is completely full of WIN.

I've been on a huge black currant kick lately.
Ingredients
3 ounces Absolut Kurant Vodka
1/2 teaspoon fino sherry or dry cocktail sherry
1/2 teaspoon creme de cassis (or to taste)
Lemon wheel
Stir all ingredients except for lemon wheel into a pitched with ice and strain into a chilled Martini glass. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
An alternative to this martini is often called "Black Martini" and is pretty basic: It consists of only two ingredients, Absolut Kurant and Chambord.
Cheers!
