Jo-Na has a great post on snobbery. I can relate to it in the sense that sometimes I seem to speak a foreign language to people around me. This is especially true in the construction company where I work. My internal monologue prizes certain works that just aren't spoken, yet slip out from time to time. Thankfully, when drinking any kind of alcohol, my base Wisconsinite language comes out in full force, "ain'ts" and "ehs" included. People understand me better then.
Anyway, that guy is mistaken. Shakers is clearly (no pun intended) the best vodka available.

Time to get nostalgic about a movie I saw eighteen years ago and was about a time seventeen years earlier. My college roommates can verify...

After the post below and after finding Dave's post, I created my South Park persona after a bike ride. I think it's fitting.
Shakers is definitely the best vodka I’ve ever had, although Grey Goose and Stolichnaya are also excellent. Ketel One has a little too much flavor to use in martinis, but it’s wonderful to cook with. Smirnoff is disgusting; maybe you can wash windows with it, or use it to disinfect a wound. A pet’s wound, anyway. I’ll use Gordon’s on my own wounds, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHow snobbish was that?
i've been thinking... alcohol snobbery is kind of a relative thing, isn't it? i mean, i love local microbrews and boycott miller, which i'm sure sounds annoying and snobbbish. but i will happily drink schlitz, blatz, huber, etc., and there's a warm place in my heart for liquor in plastic bottles. i'm still an alcohol snob, though, if i just drink those beers for the credit i get for going low-brow.
ReplyDeletethe good thing about alcohol snobbery is that, as you nicely pointed out, after a couple of drinks it all wears off and everyone can relate just fine.
