PICTURE THIS!!! - The new picture thread of YOU!

The president says differently:

Jed Bartlet: Can I tell you what's messed up about James Bond?
Charlie Young: Nothing.
Jed Bartlet: Shaken, not stirred, will get you cold water with a dash of gin and dry vermouth. The reason you stir it with a special spoon is so not to chip the ice. James is ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it.

 

True, which is why you need ice that is VERY cold (so chips will actually fall off) and Gin that is VERY strong (so the weakening of the drink doesn't matter)

 

it's the films fault. in the novels, it's stirred not shaken because that's how his adventures leave him: stirred, but not shaken.

 

Enough of that pesky warm ice.

 

Some pictures from my Canada trip:

Canadian Science & Technology Museum in Ottawa


Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton


Its... Bird-Man!


My flight home!

 

Bond is wrong.

Stirred is better.

 

Holdy, we totally agree.

Nice.

 

Exactgly

 

Let's raise a properly mixed martini in honour of our agreement.

 

With olives, of course.

 

You killed the mood.

Twist of lemon.

It's OK, I guess, but not what I think of when I want a martini. I actually think Vespers would taste better with the original Kina Lillet, which was supposedly more sugary than Lillet blanc. I've never had one with Kina Lillet, since I would have been starting pretty young if I had! But based on what I've heard, I reckon I'd have preferred that incarnation.

Yeah, probably.

 

Enough talk, more pictures. Preferably new blood. None of you old timers who've been posting in this thread since time began...

 

But a real martini needs olives!

 

Yeah, nobody drinks gin martinis with lemon.

 

I'd expect that with a vodka cocktail.

 

Something like a Cosmo.

 

I know I'm an old-timer, but I'm sick of this alcohol discussion. Look, it's me on an elephant!

 

My cousin rode one, and she said she got sea-sick on it... how did it feel?

 

That is an awesome picture, Kestra!
