Me: *heading to friend’s birthday party* Hey, what sort of booze do you like? It’s your gift.
Friend: Um, I like wine, and rum, and vodka.
Me: What kind of rum?
Friend: As long as it isn’t clear and doesn’t come in a plastic bottle, it should be fine.
Me: *in liquor store* I know nothing about good rum… How do I pick between all of the nice rums that are about the same price?
Bottle: MT. GAY RUM
Me: …Hehehehehehe. …Meh, that’s good enough selection criteria *buys it*
Apparently it was tasty, and we (me and a bunch of straight guys) somehow ended up at an awesome gay bar by the end of the night. Subliminal messaging FTW.
And now I’m going to go watch a bunch of burly men in tight spandex pile on top of each other. Can this weekend get any more fabulous?
It depends, are there sparkles involved?
Mt Gay Rum ? Clearly what Winston Churchil was talking about : “Don’t talk to me about naval tradition. It’s nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash.”
Kraken Rum is where it’s at!
Excellent choice, especially for 5 year old.http://www.mountgayrum.com/
A fine tradition all around :3
I bought a bottle for a friend’s 21st last year, just for the name, but when I handed it over I was told it’s actually very high-quality. Win-win!
I’m a Captain Morgan 100 sort of bromo sapien myself but I can certainly appreciate Mt. Gay’s long heritage and local fanfare!
Mt Gay is a very nice drop. Personally I prefer Appleton Estate.Dark rums are dirtier and more awesome though; Captain Morgan or Black Heart being my favourites.
It did get better! The Packers won! GO PACK GO!!!! haha
I think I had the same reaction when a bottle appeared at the xmas/champagne brekkie at work. LOL. Good to know I’m not the only juvenile around.
Whenever me and my friends are feeling especially masochistic, we make bets on things we’re watching. “If so-and-so hooks up with so-and-so, we’re all taking a shot of The Kraken!”
haha, there’s a selection effect going on with the straight guys at gay bars. Yeah we figured out that ladies like to go there to just dance, but the only guys that go there to get pussy are the ones that realize you went there to get away from us and follow you there anyway. AKA Jersey Shore
Mount Gay, fine Barbadian product since 1703! Smooth…
Mount Gay is actually a very fine rum, good enough to drink straight, not to expensive not to use in a mix drink. I live on a tiny Caribbean island, a 1.14 liter (0.3 gallon) bottle costs just over US$10 here.
“Mount Gay is actually a very fine rum, good enough to drink straight”Um … ROFL.
Ooops… Freudian choice of wording… Let’s put it down to me not being a native speaker of English :-)
FYI, if you can find it in Seattle, the best rum in the world is Don Q Rum, from Puerto Rico. The best is Don Q Gran Añejo, and the best for mixing is Don Q Cristal. Trust me on this, I’m from Puerto Rico, the world’s capital of rum.
