Take me to your dealer

Holy effin' shiznit. I just got a totally random email from Sir Christopher asking me what I had in my liquor cabinet. Which he thought was pretty random and funny himself since someone asked him the same question yesterday. After being kinda weirded out for a moment I was all, "Hmmm, okay I'll play along."

Sadly, Single White Female Living Alone in Minneapolis isn't an equation for stocking seriously. What can I say? I'm not packing. Anyway, here's my list:

• Absolut Kurant


• Skyy Vodka


• 2 quarter-filled bottles of Kettel One (don't ask cuz I have no idea how that happened)


• about an 1/8 of a bottle of Chianti


• Bombay Sapphire (my most favorite liquor packaging of all time)

I also have some tonic in the fridge and jello in the cupboards. Shouldn't I get extra points for that?

But then I re-read Chris's email and the only thing he said about his own collection was that he needs to buy less booze. So I asked him, "What's in YOUR cabinet?" but I did it with as much of a Scots accent as I could muster. Which might have been a mistake since I got War & Peace in response (please note he had to divide it up in to sections to make it even remotely legible; programmer that he is, I'd bet he even has a SQL database hidden somewhere...). If any of ya'll can top this I'm going to your house tonight:

• In the freezer: Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray TEN, Kettle One, Level, Grey Goose Vodka, Belvedere Vodka, Chopin Vodka, and Limoncello


• In the cabinet: Cointreau, Absolut Vanilla, Captain Morgan, Chambord, Godiva White, Godiva Chocolate, Godiva Coffee Liquor, Glenmorangie 18 year Scotch, Macallan 18 year Scotch, Malibu Coconut Rum, Bacardi Superior Rum, Glenlivet Whiskey, Crown Royal, Ouzo, 3 types of Port, and Black Forest Krammer Williams "Pear in the bottle" Brandy (out of Tequilas)


• In the refrigerator: Pommery Champagne, Vueve Clicquot, and single serving size POP (Pommery)


• In the basement: your typical beer selection along with Newcastle Brown Ale, Boddingtons, Miller Light, and Leinenkugel's


• Apparently there's also a very full wine cellar with dozens of bottles of wine goodness

To top it all off he had all kinds of tips for getting in with goods by knowing your distributors. Hmmm... I know my distributors. They're mostly on Nicollet a few blocks from my house.

Ha ha, I'm so funny.

Yeah anyway, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Looks like I'll be the only person in Minneapolis for the holiday along with some tumbleweed so I'll see you on the flipside. Alternatively I'll see you on Friday when I'll be coming to you LIVE, from work, where I'll still pretty much be the only person here. So you know, if any of you find yourselves in the Minneapolis suburbs let me know. I'll give you my work address so you can kindly drop off Pumpkin Spice Lattes. And then we'll play Twister.

Gobble gobble!
