I posted the DUzy Awards & I'm on my 2nd triple martini, ask me anything!

[JeffR]

It occurred to me that I've never done one of these threads before. Of course, I seldom post in the Lounge, and nobody in GDP ever asks me anything...

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Okay.

How well did you do in quantum physics? I sucked at it.

And, what is a triple martini?

[JeffR]

4. My quantum physics experience consists of watching a Scott Bakula TV show.

And a triple martini is a whole big bunch of gin - shaken, not stirred - kissed with a little vermouth. We're out of olives, but a little belt-tightening is appropriate, what with the Wall Street crash and all.

[leeroysphitz]

31. Yes yes. Sacrifices must be made and all that. n/t

[GardeningGal]

2. I want to know...

how to make a triple martini.

[JeffR]

7. Make a martini

Then triple the ingredients.

[rug]

3. What are human penile strips?

[flvegan]

6. something that'll win you a DUzy

[JeffR]

9. Near as I can tell, they involve excised corpus cavernosum tissue

which is then studied for erectile properties by eggheads using electrical impulses. I've had my legs crossed for a week and all I had to do was read about this.

[rug]

16. Well, if McCain is elected I'm sure he'll vigorously fund this project.

[JeffR]

19. He'll seek funding from the private sector. The markets should decide.

Or maybe he can encourage faith-based groups to get involved. They seem strangely obsessed with penises and vaginas already.

[rug]

22. A new campaign slogan: A boner in every crotch.

[JeffR]

25. Nice!

:rofl:

[flvegan]

5. Another request for that triple martini recipe, please?

[JeffR]

10. 5 parts gin, 1 part vermouth, x 3

and it's a good idea to make sure the shaker is full almost to the top, providing enough for the next one and the next one and the next one and...

Final ingredient is likely to be nodding off in front of the TV.

[Gormy Cuss]

18. I nominate this post for a DUzy.

:D

[JeffR]

21. I'm donating this nomination to charity.

The Find Senator McCain a Post-Campaign Career Foundation (FSMPCCF).

[Xipe Totec]

8. Oh, sure, NOW you come to the lounge

where some of the best DUzies are born, nurtured, mature, and fall like Autumn leaves to enrich our mother earth.

Pass the gin.

:hi:

[JeffR]

12. It's as inspiring as watching salmon swim upstream to spawn.

(*hic)

Excuse me.

[Xipe Totec]

14. I meant the gin that's still in the bottle!

you can keep the rest...

:yoiks:

[JeffR]

15. Noticeable cognitive impairment setting in.

And I'm lovin' it.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

23. I use a canoe, thank you very much.

:P

[JeffR]

28. Very shrewd.

That way you're dry and composed when the moment is right.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

30. .

:rofl:

Or at least dry.

[sniffa]

11. Why don't you make quads?

I'm on my 2nd quad.

[JeffR]

13. Now that's the spirit of American enterprise right there! A better mousetrap.

I'm gonna do it.

[BeachBaby]

17. Do you drink martinis because you like them.....

or because you think they make you look sophisticated, debonnaire, etc.? :P

[JeffR]

20. I'm a longhaired, stubbled old socialist.

They haven't invented a beverage yet that could make me look sophisticated. Well, maybe Tang.

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. Are you a Beatles fan and are you experienced?

In a Jimi Hendrix kind of way?

Uh-have you ever been experienced-uh?
Well, I have

[JeffR]

35. Yes, and yes

and, uh... what was the question?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

24. Is there Life on Mars?

Or just Chex?

:hide:

[JeffR]

27. There is

but sadly, they're no smarter than we are.

[Whoa_Nelly]

26. I'll ask you something!

What prompted you to start the DUzys?

And...

What are your fav top ten DUzys?

Fantastic job, BTW! :applause:

:hi:


on edit:

OMD! I GOT A DUZY!!!!!!
Thanks, JeffR! :loveya:

My DUzy! :bounce:

[JeffR]

29. Jeepers, serious questions.

I started them based on an idea by NanceGreggs. And though I couldn't pick a top 10 if I tried, I have to say the funniest thing I ever saw on DU - long before the DUzy Awards began - was a discussion thread that had something to do with Dan Quayle, and the issue of a typo came up somehow. Some unsung genius posted a single word: "Typoe" That's all I remember, but it still makes me laugh.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. How come I didn't win a

martini?

[JeffR]

36. You're too good for such things

I'm just trying to protect you.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

38. It's good to occasionally partake of things that are beneath you...

It helps you appreciate that which is worthy.

[JeffR]

39. Sounds good to me. I've been partaking of ABBA for years in hopes of that

but so far, nada. Catchy stuff, though.

[BarenakedLady]

34. Is this it?

:shrug:

[JeffR]

37. well, um...

yeah... um... I guess...

:blush:

[NanceGreggs]

40. Why the need for triple martinis tonight?

Does the fact that I've played Bon Jovi's "Livin' On a Prayer" twelve times in a row have anything to do with it?

Be honest.

And at least it's NOT Stevie Nicks.

So there.

[JeffR]

41. There's a tie-in, though at least the acoustic version

doesn't make my eyeballs wobble. So that's something.

[Adsos Letter]

42. "What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

:D

[Angleae]

43. Gin or Vodka? Shaken or Stirred?
