@judochop Ha. Calm myself, that makes me giggle. Hey, in Ireland there are better fucking things to drink then Irish Car Bombs right? I’m being rhetorical here, of course there are. Plus I mean it’s not well known drink over there as I understand it. I usually nurse a pint on it’s own if I go to a decent pub. And I pretty much only drink my whiskey neat. So… there is no real likelihood of me ordering a Irish Car Bomb in the States, let alone Ireland. I was merely recounting what I did on my 21st. You know, young and stupid. And it’s not likely I’d find myself in the P.C. as shit bar you work in, so no worries there. :p I understand the name of the fucking drink is stupid but without a true alternate name (that I am aware of), I honestly could give a shit. I didn’t come up with the damn name mmmkK? I find the name to be repulsive and typically american, but I don’t sit around in bars passing judgement on the dumb names of drinks out there, all day long.
The book I was referencing was Joyce, and I was being um, facetious. As if reading one damn book would save me from the impropriety of being culturally insensitive. I’m not ignorant of the issues behind said poorly chosen drink name. Trying to tell you that you don’t need to lecture me on the fact that it is a shite name. I already was aware of the fact. Cheers.
I wasn’t alive or of drinking age in the late 70’s and early 80’s sorry if there was a more culturally appropriate name out there, I am not aware of it at all. LOOK I made an offhand remark about what I drank when I turned 21, and you saw fit to bring these things up. If we are going to have a pissing contest over a silly drink, with a stupid name, let’s get pissed first. Drinks are on you, for being a well-meaning ass. :p Cheers. :D
James Joyce is not a bad writer, we can agree on this certainly.
