Does a cocktail geek and a “bear” have to look alike or just coincidence? =)

This is, perhaps, one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Bravo.

Ok,

I know i’m late to this discussion (sue me – i have a job which i’m busy procrastinating at)

But i just wanted to point out to morgenthaler that the muddler being wielded appears to be a red plastic Boca Loca muddler.

This gets four and a quarter star in my book, and it trumps the Gay or Just European game I started when I had a group of 5 Italian guys at work!

Sorry Neyah, your are too old to be a cub. Though you do make a formidable bear. By the way, Daniel Shoemaker and I have bartended at many rendevous bear parties when we both worked at “Thirsy Bear Brewing Co” in the 90’s. Its like a homosexual Comicon.

I like this quiz. Is there any difference between a bear and a cocktail geek? Can one be both?

I will also be crying into my cocktail glass again this year while everyone except us is in New Orleans.

I’m glad I could entertain you all from afar and hope that everyone is having a great time without me (sniff, sniff) in New Orleans this week.

PS – I’m concerned that I haven’t heard from Rick yet… I certainly hope he isn’t planning some sort of retaliation.

I believe that both cocktail nerds & bears/cubs ALL like to “wield their muddlers” :)

I just had to explain a) why I was busting up laughing at the Carousel Bar and b) what a “bear” is.

Both Craig & Matt are correct- it was Matt’s homemade falernum (one of several different recipes he brought, if I’m not mistaken).

I had attempted to pour a small measure into a glass to sample it, but was commanded to just drink it straight from the bottle by the gentleman brandishing the frighteningly large muddler. Never let it be said I can’t take direction.

Get better ASAP Jeffrey!

I love Rumdood wielding that muddler like he’s drawing upon the power of Grayskull.

That was, in fact, my homemade falernum. I was also operating that muddler under the influence of X-Rated…cause I’m stupid.

I’m sorry that we’re both missing Tales this year, but I am amused to note that not only do I know your cocktail geek bears, I actually know one of the actual bears from SF in your photos. Which probably says more about me than anything else.

Get well soon!

Tales just isn’t the same without ya. But we have a few surprises in store.

Was it the pneumonia that led to this inspired bit of ribaldry? Whatever, I’m on board.

I’m pretty sure that’s someone’s (Matt’s likely) home-made falernum inside a conveniently reused Velvet Falernum bottle. Just to ratchet up the cocktail geek factor, natch’.

For the bear factor, Matt is in the process of saying, “Step off my dick.”
