The Old Glory Bourbon Club

As I sit here watching The Mummy (truly a Brendan Fraser masterpiece), I am compelled to share an exciting piece of news with you all.
Last night, OHD decided to break the routine of going out for drinks by going out for drinks somewhere different. Due to Ms Mount Vernon's primal craving for tearing flesh off of the beast, we chose to go to Old Glory so she could have ribs. It started with an innocuous question... and ended with a life changing revelation. The mirror above the bar glistened with small gold plaques with names on them. Ms Mount Vernon simply asked what they were.
Patrick, the wise sage of a bartender, wove us a captivating tale... the gold plaques on the mirror were in honor of the men and women who bravely fought for membership in the most exclusive club at Old Glory... the Bourbon Club. Patrick... you had us at "bourbon."

Apparently Old Glory carries about 81 types of bourbon. To join the Old Glory Bourbon club you just have to drink all of them. We are not fazed, even though none of us are really bourbon drinkers... I felt it tacky to suggest they should have a "Franzia" club. It has now become our house goal that, before our lease ends, the name ONE HOT DISASTER glistens above the Stolis on our own gilded plaque. To do this, we need your help.

If ever you crave BOOZE, grab your ballsack and go get some bourbon at Old Glory. Ask the bartender for the One Hot Disaster sheet-- filed under "O." Then crush some serious bourbon shots. I know you all probably would prefer a "mangorita" or "pomograntini," but we are doing something beautiful for our country by joining this club and no one ever won awards for drinking rainforest delights. In many years, when you bring your grandchild to Old Glory, think of how proud you will be to point to a plaque on the mirror and say "i helped earn that plaque, child... your grandpappy was a hero." your eyes will be misty. it will be beautiful.

so anyway, help us win our goal. we will have a more coordinated effort to dominate the bourbon scene next week during "America Week" (details to come) but help us get on our way! And just go to Old Glory, Rio and me will probably be sitting there already.

BOTTOMS UP!
