Title: Room Special
Post by: Nicky007 on Mon, 2007-10-08, 20:12:14
The Room can soon celebrate its three-year anniversary. Kudos to Cap - and you and me. We really need a good drink to cheer/skål/prost with on the occasion, January 13, 2008. Which drink should it be? What is Room Special?

Nicky.

Yeah, I know the deal with you, Appy: One never gets a clear answer first time around. So next question: Which beer?

Then I'd say Jack Daniels, for obvious reasons...

Well then the best related option is Jack Daniels with coke I think, Clive's former classic favourite drink (he has now abandoned it).

OK, I'll ensure that there's a plastic cup, straw, bib, and highchair for you, Paco. How about diapers?

And root beer for Appy.

Don't know about 'Room Special', but my special definitely is JD & coke. Lots of it.  ;D

Closely followed by a nice glass of Licor 43 poured over ice-cold milk. (Right, I know how that sounds: :o But give it a try!)

It's from Australia, that's why it is so hard to get on this side of the world.  :(

Used to be my favourite beer (it's made of lemons - yes, right, lemons! - and tastes rather like Fanta than like beer), but since Germany introduced this stupid ban on "alco pops" it isn't sold anywhere any more.  >:(

Thanks for the tip, Johnny. I know you're a beer connoisseur (you know, Maddox, I actually had to check up on this one). I'll try to see if I can get some of this stuff somewhere in Denmark.

John, I was flirting a bit with your daughter earlier, but don't worry, nothing serious. I could be her Dad, if you weren't; I can do the beer drinking routine just as good as you  ;D

It's a quality issue, you have a beer and just to check that it was a good one you have another to compare with the first, then a third to ensure the second was ok and keep going till it's a) time to go. b) You're pissed enough or c) you fall over.

Here's Bluey's loverboy, guys. He's a real partyman, Appy. Freddy Special is Bloody Mary - the real type.

But to come with something more serious, I found this interesting in Wiki's article on Freddy Krueger:

"Robert Englund [the actor playing Freddy] has expressed many times that he feels that the deeper meaning behind the character is that he represents neglect, particularly the neglect that children and teens are sometimes subject to when growing up."

Weihenstephaner actually has the oldest brewery in the world (or so they claim). They have a shiny site:

Add a couple shots of vodka or schnaps (das war sein letztes Wort) and I'm in, Cap.

Isn't there somebody here who can devise a completely new Room Special - that divides humanity into Arena resp. fans and non-fans? Something with Pepper of course.
