A Very Bong Vodka Night. BONG,BONG,BONG


Last night we had our Bong Spirits Bong Vodka Premier Party, and it will go down as one of the greatest parties ever held at the bar. There were plenty of bongalishous snacks such as Brownies, Cheetos(TM), Funyons (TM) and mellow yellow lemon jello shots made with of course, Bong Vodka. Try and say that five times fast. Mr. Gary Henry provided the entertainment for the night with his incredible musical talents with 'professor' Vince Bryce joining him with his bass for the last set. Vince just got a teaching job at an area college, congrats to Vince. The bar was just below fire code for the whole of the evening. At least a dozen people asked me throughout the evening if Gary could play at the bar every Friday night? I certainly wish he could but, alas, he no longer lives in our city and he and his wife made the trip here just for the night for this special Bong Vodka party. The spirit and philosophy Bong Spirits certainly filled the bar on this particular Saturday night. This was one of those nights just just should not ever have ended. Two AM came way too soon on this particular night or morning, depending on your point of view. Check out http://www.Bongspirits.com , it is a very good vodka, made in Amsterdam, and the company has a great philosophy and is worth some attention. Till next time, have a great day.

Like Gag Me With A Spoon

On Friday my wife and I decided to eat lunch at our favorite hamburger hole in the wall, Cupps. We were almost finished our lunch when three co-eds walked in and sat at the booth next to ours. What proceeded was a dazzeling display of Valley Girl speak. As they walked in the one girl starts with "Like you know Chad, like he is soo totally hot and like dreamy cute, like I would like to have him hang with our group like I think it would be great but like I don't know like if he is cool enough to hang with our group 'cus like I wouldn't want him to hang with us if he is not cool enough like he is totally smart and like studies all the time like he doesn't ever do anything wrong, like you know what I mean?" Without pausing, the conversation continues. "Like you know like I have been thinking alot about smoking, you know like Pot! But I don't know, like I think like it would be totally ok to smoke like 5 or 6 times, like I don't think it would hurt me or anything but like what would I think of myself like in my soul? You know, like would I think I was like a bad person like in 15 or 20 years, like I just don't know. Like almost all of my friends smoke but like I just don't know how I would feel in my soul. You know what I mean???" Another girl at the table finally opens here mouth and says "Well I smoked Pot last weekend." To this valley girl blurts out in a loud voice "Like Oh My God! Julie, like you smoked POT?" In her valley girl voice, pot became a two sylable word similar to pa-ot. "Like, what was it like? Like did you get high or stoned, like no," answering her own question, "you can't get high the first time you smoke it. Or did you, like what was it like and like who did you smoke with ? Now like I am totally going to have to smoke, like you were the only person I know that doesn't smoke and like I can't be the only one that like doesn't smoke, it wouldn't be cool." I thought to myself that I bet the perfect Chad didn't smoke, and so much for her soul, but the conversation continued. "Like, so who did you smoke it with? Girl number two answered "I smoked out with my Dad." Valley girl again blurts out "Like Oh My God, like Julie you smoked Pot with your Dad!!??" This time both 'pot' and 'dad' were two sylable words. At this point and wife and I had finished our lunch and had to go. This was a very good thing, because I was about to burst out in laughter at the conversation that we had been listening to. Just a wild guess but I would bet that the Valley Girl is not an English major and there is little chance of her being class valedictorian. Chances are that with her concern for her soul, that she is a Philosophy major with a minor in biblical Greek. Have a great day and may all of your lunch conversations be interesting. As an after thouht, I am sure that I left out a few dozens 'likes' in the retelling of the story but like you get the idea.
