Toast time

Osprey - 10-10-2008 at 01:56 PM

I know it's only about 3 PM but I'm raising a toast to Nomad goodfellowship. The forum has been very mellow -- good info, pleasant back and forth -- thanks to help from the moderators (no doubt) and the rest of us who can stay civil and optimistic with the world crashing down around us and storms threatening our tranquility. Huzzah!

BajaGringo - 10-10-2008 at 01:58 PM

Salud!

bajajudy - 10-10-2008 at 01:59 PM

I'll drink to that!
Of course, I will drink to just about anything.
Steady as she goes.

'The Hurricane'

Pompano - 10-10-2008 at 03:39 PM

The Hurricane became popular at Pat O'Briens bar in 1940's New Orleans, apparently debuted at the 1939 World's Fair.

Ingredients:
2 oz light rum
2 oz dark rum
2 oz passion fruit juice
1 oz orange juice
juice of a half a lime
1 Tbsp simple syrup
1 Tbsp grenadine
orange slice and cherry for garnish

Preparation:
Squeeze juice from half a lime into shaker over ice.
Pour the remaining ingredients into the c-cktail shaker.
Shake well.
Strain into a hurricane glass.
Garnish with a cherry and an orange slice.

Ugh...for myself, I think I'll just splash a little more JD into my glass.

SKOL!

Yep! Those 'Hurricane" libations are downright tasty, either homemade or courtesy of Pat O'Briens.:biggrin: The atmospheric variety aren't.:) A "cat" any kind of hurricane is bad news.:D

Ken Bondy - 10-10-2008 at 04:53 PM

Para todos - salud, pesetas, y amor, y el tiempo para gostarlos!

There's Nothing Like a Toast Raised

Gypsy Jan - 10-10-2008 at 04:55 PM

In Celebration of Good Fellowship.

I raise my glass to all Nomads; the explorers who freely share stories about their adventures, the passionate opinionated contributors from all sides of the spectrum, the greatly talented photographers who share their art with us and the unending selflessness of Nomads who volunteer wisdom and practical advice to those who are new to this magical world.

Cheers, GJ

Pescador - 10-10-2008 at 06:32 PM

Osprey, you are one of the few who has repeatedley called for reason and some level of social development. I guess we only get into trouble when we go astray with Maslov's Heirarchy of Needs. But you are right, it has been downright enjoyable to key up Bajanomads as of late. Hope those misfortunate few have found another place to rile up.:smug::smug:

If it were lush and rich, one could understand the pull, but it is fierce and hostile and sullen. The stone mountains pile up to the sky and there is little fresh water. But we know we must go back if we live, and we don't know why." - Steinbeck,

Great timing my man:biggrin:

Once had the occasion to stay in a local hotel with my daughter, then 7 years old. Christmas time and when we returned to our car, the trunk lid had been popped and all of our Christmas presents were stolen. I was livid, she turned to me and said "they can't take our good time away from us!", she was right.......there are wonderful people and great writers and photographers on this board......and some very congenial people.

Iflyfishandamaproudnomadsaludos!

Skipjack Joe - 10-11-2008 at 03:35 PM

You have a very intelligent daughter, Iflyfish.

I had a similar experience with Alex when he was about 7. Someone had pulled up to our camping spot , threw his bike into the pickup, and drove off. I was livid. A kid's bike for goodness sake. What good was it to anyone but a midget. I still get angry just writing about it. It was his first. A Christmas present from mom.

Iflyfish - 10-11-2008 at 04:15 PM

Balance my man, good balance.

In honor of our solar system and the night time sky, I offer this toast:

Here's to everyone's favorite planet, Uranus

windgrrl - 10-19-2008 at 07:01 PM

An Irish toast for you all:

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far.

My wife and I had 2 each of those at Pat O'Briens in New Orleans a few years back....WOW
They knocked us on our butts! My wife passed out in a McDonalds bathroom. And to top that I got something to eat there! Can you imagine in New Orleans and I ate at McDonalds and damb it was good. Little did I know while I was throwing back an order of fries my wife was asleep on the bathroom floor.
That sure made our trip memorable...
