h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Last time I was in Chicago, I went to this wonderful steakhouse (forget the name now) and they had a whole menu made up entirely of martinis!

So I of course picked the "banana split" martini. It had Lady Godiva in it, some banana stuff, ice cream, strawberry stuff, lots of booze and a big cherry on top! Well, needless to say, after two I floated back to the hotel (or maybe I did cartwheels... I don't really remember )

I think it was the cartwheels... I seem to remember a story about some wanton woman with her skirt up around her ears giggling madly on her way back to her hote....

Horrid idea my dear Batty to call those new fangled drinks "Martinis"

As you say, very dry gin with the dry Martini gently wafted over it the one and only one.!!
Why don't they just call the other concotions something else. I am sure that they might quite easily be very good, but they are not the real McCoy!!.

Oooh! thank you so much for my special martoonie. I really enjoyed it and remembered so many happy days!!. So beautifully served and presented. I particularly liked the cut glass martinit glass. It frosts up so beautifully.

Poor Michelle,

It must have tasted quite vile.

How on earth were you not ill after performing those cartwhells? Amazing what the body will put up with!1.
Much

Well actually, now that you mention it, I was rather ill the next morning...

*the odor alone causes her to swoon*

*suppresses the urge to whip out his flamethrower*

*nibbles thoughtfully on an olive*

True those drinks aren't overly martinilike - other than the glass. But my guess is it's the only way those bars can make money since the real thing is an acquired taste - mostly by those of us who prefer our cocktails with a little meanness in them.

Acquired taste? I just like lots and lots of those jalapeno stuffed olives in mine... The more the merrier!

yeah, but there is a limit to how many jalapenos you can stuff in an olive





:: stuffs jalapenos with olives ::

My dearest friend and I once tried martoonies with habanero stuffed olives. Great googly moogly I thought my s were on fire!!!

The last time I saw someone`s s on fire was when a well enebriated friend (is there any other sort?) accidentally sat on a barbeque.
The A&E dept at the local hospital were most helpful...when they stopped laughing.
Put me off grilled sausage for life..

with toasted buns?

Oh my!!

I suspect "basting" was never quite the same either...

Would you like fries with that?

are they french?

Toasted buns, did you say?



No, wait, that's what men who run away from me
usually get.

Never mind.
