[LostinVA]

What should be our official club drink... we need something that can be "virgin," for the teetotalers among us.

How about.... mojitos.

[XemaSab]

1. Brazilian sunrise

:bounce:

[LostinVA]

3. Oooh! What;s that?

[XemaSab]

11. Sorta like a tequila sunrise

Only with cachaca. :bounce:

[KitchenWitch]

38. I love virgin sunrises!

[Thtwudbeme]

2. I am here for you!

checking in!

About your teetotalers...go get some non-alcoholic white wine, fill a glass with ice, fill it about 1/3 full of the NA Char, a splash of cranberry juice, and then fill with soda or sprite. Garnish with some citrus fruit, add an umbrella, and a straw.

I was a GREAT bartender.

[Left Is Write]

4. Am I uppity?

[LostinVA]

9. Hell yeah!

[SeattleGirl]

5. Margueritas and Daquiris can also be "virgin"

[bridgit]

6. i'm down wit dat, or should i say 'uppity'...

[xmas74]

7. Just a plain old sun tea.

It's the house wine of the South.

[bridgit]

8. mmmm, sun tea...

:thumbsup: :hi:

[xmas74]

10. I put some out this morning,

went to sleep and when I woke up I had the most perfect glass of tea imaginable.

I don't make mine completely Southern-style since I don't like it sugared. But this glass I'm drinking right now is divine. I've added slices of lemon and lime-perfect.

[In_The_Wind]

12. virgin mary

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear LostinVA!

What's in a mojito? I have never heard of it, having lived a VERY sheltered life, alas!

:hi:

[LostinVA]

17. They are yummy: rum, club soda, key lime juice, cane sugar, and

a sprig of fresh mint -- in a glass rimmed with mint sugar.

They don't taste alcoholic.

YUMMY.

[Shine]

14. Is it too late to join?

:shrug:

[LostinVA]

18. Never... if you're a woman and UPPITY

We also have several nice guys in our Auxiliary.

[Robb]

15. What the hell's left of a virgin mojito?

I mean, nobody asked me, but aren't we talkin' like some mint leaves and sugar syrup? :D


Mo-ji-to... Mojito!

[LostinVA]

20. Club soda,key lime juice, and rum flavoring

[philosophie_en_rose]

[miss_american_pie]

24. Could some of you put down the drinks

and head over to GD? My head is about to explode. :hi:

[LostinVA]

25. UPPITY WOMEN ALERT!!! Which thread?

Which thread???

[miss_american_pie]

26. This one

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=957110&mesg_id=957110

It's not too bad yet, but the potential is there.

[LostinVA]

27. It is now...

[Hugin]

30. Oh my!

That one *is* controversial for the likes of GD.

[xmas74]

43. And I added my say.

I used to work w/ rapists. It's about empowerment, not sex.

[LostinVA]

49. Me too -- calling it sex, saying I was lying, and wrong

WHATEVER.

[xmas74]

54. I read your posts.

And I replied to that poster that called you out on it.

No response from them yet.

[xmas74]

42. I added my two cents.

[miss_american_pie]

45. I just saw that

Thank you.

[xmas74]

48. You're welcome.

I used to work w/ rapists and they will tell you that the sexual part of the act is, to simplify it, the cherry on top of everything else. They don't actually need the act-they need the actions that lead up to the act.

[KitchenWitch]

44. I am so fucking pissed!

:grr:

[miss_american_pie]

46. I decided to have a drink after all

and I'm glad I did.

[LostinVA]

51. I know -- I have to keep out of these rape threads for a day or so

I had my BP taken today at the doctor's, and it was about 10 points higher than usual...

[KitchenWitch]

57. I know

Rape is about sex! :sarcasm:

[LostinVA]

58. Well, rape and rough sex leave the same "injuries" you know

swollen nether regions... if one more poster says that! Rough sex can be fun... and it's consensual sex. Rape isn't fun for anyone but the rapist.

[KitchenWitch]

60. And I would guess it is not even fun for the rapist

It seems that it would be more of a compulsion.

:grr:

[xchrom]

28. as a hopeful honorary member -- can i just say

i used to be a bartender?

i make killer scratch bloody marys

and margaritas

and mojitos

etc

[LostinVA]

35. Of course you can be in the Auxiliary

[July]

29. I think Bloody Marys are pretty appropriate for Uppity Women.

And there's always the Virgin Mary for those who do not indulge.

[Hugin]

31. A V8?

Doesn't that about cover a Virgin Mary?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

33. Wait...do we have to join, or are we automatic members?!

This is the first I've heard about the uppity women's club. :shrug: I think I should be involved here!
Duckie

[LostinVA]

36. If you're UPPITY and a woman, you're in!

UPPITY sensitive guys are welcome in the Auxuliary...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

37. I'm a woman....

Do you think a dude would name himself yellowrubberduckie?
Duckie

[ForrestGump]

40. I like Uppity Women

Any chance of being a charter member in the Friends Of Uppity Women group?

[LostinVA]

50. Men are trusted and respected members of our Auxiliary

ie our supporters... so yes!

[ForrestGump]

56. Thnak you! You can most definitely trust me

Well, almost definitely.

Well...mostly.

Somewhat, anyway.




And I vehemently deny the charge that it was me, drill in hand, heading for the closet adjacent to the changing room... :blush:



O8)

[LostinVA]

61. That's good enough

[AirmensMom]

41. That sounds good to me!

:9 I could use a non-virgin one right now, though.

[Gormy Cuss]

47. So, do we have enough candidates to make this a poll?

We need to get the drink orders in.:beer:

[LostinVA]

53. That's what I was wondering... a poll

[LostinVA]

59. The poll is up

[NMDemDist2]

52. uppity woman drink huh?

how about jukes' idea of espresso?

but let's make it with a tablespoon of milk foam on top (a true macchiato)

since we are marked wimmins, we should drink "marked espresso" aka espresso macchiato

[miss_american_pie]

55. Uppity women drink whatever the hell they want

:toast:

[NMDemDist2]

62. well, there is that........

:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

67. I will happily join you in that espresso!

:hi:

[uppityperson]

63. am I uppity enough to join in?

won't go to the thread given upthread here, no way to do that, but I would like a drink and think I'm uppity and a woman. I almost was uppitywoman for name, but decided to keep my sex out of it until too many people thought I was a nasty man. Tough shit for them! Uppitys unite!

[Gormy Cuss]

65. You? Are you kidding?

You're a member just based on that post alone. :hi:

[LostinVA]

66. Of course you're UPPITY enough to join. Welcome!

[Tsiyu]

64. I'm thinking white grape juice

it looks like wine or champagne, and there's NOTHING more UPPITY than a woman drinking wine or champagne.

:beer:
