You are so cold and delicious and combined with the warm sun on my face I could have a cement block dropped on me and my last thought (other than ‘oh crap’) would be pure bliss. My frothy friend, I shall drink more and more of you on warm patios, but the first is always the most memorable. And now you are gone…good times. —Desk Chairs and Cupholders

Sunshine + Beer = Heaven.
This turns me on almost as men do! Bring on patios and beer!
Mmmmmm…. cold beer and sunshine on a patio. No better way to reward ourselves for putting up with another winter…. throw in a nice bloody, juicy strip loin on the grill and you’ve got seventh heaven Q! Steak so delicious and beer so cold you’ve got have a nice refreshing swig after every mouth-watering bite of meaty perfection….
“a nice refreshing swig after every mouth-watering bite of meaty perfection….”
I’m just going to leave that one alone.
Cheers!
“I’m just going to leave that one alone”
LIH, I am sure that is not something you say often…HAHA. I left that very descriptive comment with you fully in mind btw…. you have disappointed 😛
I had such a lovely refreshing beer on my patio on Saturday. It was so hot in the sun that I actually felt like I was getting a sunburn. I’m definitely looking forward to a summer full of patio beers.
Well jonnoman, I’ll let you prepare the meat and I will let you know if it is mouth-watering meaty perfection 😉
Sunny patio beers are the best thing ever!
I HATE PATIOS.
all the benefit of going to a restaurant without the restaurant… I don’t get it.
Is it just that people want to drink on the street without getting fined?
rooftop patios I get,… but those fuckers that take up the lane on both side of the street….
AGRIMAVATING…
yeah Z… i guess it’s not the same when you’re into 10 tequila shots on a patio instead of some ice cold beer…. hahaha
I liked them better when we smokers could take them over. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! But I still like them…
Oh, you guys are talkin about Patio’s at resturants… I thought you meant like, back yard patios… der…
me too mind snap…i have a large grassy knoll sans patio furniture, but i have a picnic table
me three. mindsnap
MS… as far as I am concerned this goes for any patio- public or not. And if this is not originally what was intended, I now officially declare it so! Praise to the sun in the sky for patios of all shapes, sizes and locations. We will bring you sacrifices of ice cold beer for many days to come!
it’s times like this I wish there wasn’t so much arson so that I could threaten to burn all the fucking restaurant patios down…
but I won’t. I’ll just gripe like always at how utterly horrible they are and how their annoyance knows no bounds.
and jonno, it’s not. I’d feel wrong pounding back tequila outside in the traffic with the birds and shit… I’ll take a nice seat near the bar in the air conditioning watching a game/match/whatever ANY DAY
zZz you need to make a friend with someone who has a backdeck.
Drinking at the comfort of your home (or someone elses) is usually better than drinking a bar/public establishment, and cheaper
well yeah, I enjoy the balcony.
don’t know anyone with a deck though…
but it would have to be better than sitting with a beer by the side of the road with cars and buses honking and whooshing by.
Seeking: m/f friend. must have deck and beer. can supply tequila and cooler with ice
Are you picky about what area said back deck is?
define ‘what area’ ?
you mean where the place is? like pinecrest or maynard or south end halifax…
or you mean, has to be overlooking grass….
either way, the answer is likely no.
just has to be nice out and preferably transit accessible… though I do have a car but would then be leaving the tequila at home.
I have a deck zzz..it’s not huge but it is always open for a beer on a warm day. Or tequila.
Suburbs near where Penhorn Mall use to be, bus stop 10 min walk
ooooh… this is definitely the makings for an intimate little bitch-get together. And it needs to be certain that z gets to partake in his tequila. Oh, and a crib board is a necessity, eh z?
I was jus thinkin backyard party…
CHECKLIST:
Patio/Deck
Alcohol
BBQ
yes, I would enjoy that very much… I know my way around a bbq
if that’s the case, I’ll bring some meat as well.
either of ya deck owners have an inflatable kids pool I can bogart?
🙂
either way, this weekend is supposed to be shit but perhaps easter if that’s not too blasphemous for ya’s?
for the record i heart margaritas but not tooo sweet
I have a pretty tiny deck, but me and the roomie were thinking of picking up a charcoal grill, and we have vinyl..heh heh heh
I can come up with a simple syrup for some home-made margaritas… don’t want to have to cart a blender around with me but I’m sure we can figure that out.
they’re way better than store bought mixes.
mmm, now I’m getting all anxious.
Cointreau and lime juice is all you really need to make a good Margarita (and the tequila goes without saying, eh Z??)
the good tequila (there are so many to choose from) and yes jonno the cointreau is better than triple sec…mmm
I have a blender too! hah
And lime…
But I can’t drink tequila, I’m allergic 🙁
I don’t have a blender… So it looks like we’re off to Angel’s!
That’s OK angel….. we can stick to good beer and some of my “special” whiskey drinks….. hahaha
YAY sunburnt drunk people! I love summer!!
well I’m in whenever this is going down…
send an email off, and we can plan it.
Mindsnap:
do you have an email I could reach you at?
I’ll make one up when I get home
(yes, I’m at work, multi-tasking on The Coast… shhhhh)
Ah, scratch that… I threw one together on break
mind_snap@hotmail.com
Mind Snap… don’t worry about it. 2937 out of 2937 of zZz’s posts have come while he was on the job…. supposedly leading my team. The secret is safe with us…. I’ve been working 7+ years now at a job where everything takes place on a computer. I think I would now go crazy if I had to take a job doing something that took me away. I am permanently wired.
Angel- keep us in the loop… just crossing my fingers hoping it’s not Easter weekend……
I was thinking the weekend after Easter; weather pending… I guess people have these things called ‘families’ that they spend time with on Zombie-Jesus-Day
But that’s just a thought… I’ve gotta coordinate with our Angel here this evening (possibly after a few beers because planning is always funner when you’re have slammered)
not true… I used to wake up and post prior to work.
It was only a few months back that I realized I could without having to log in on my cell phone and pound the crap outta the poor, little keyboard.
Hahahaha…. zombie-jesus day. I don’t think I could ever refer to it any other way again.
Here comes Peter CottonTail, hoppin down the buny trail, *SNARE!*
zombie jesus flies around the world giving out chocolate
You know…. Easter would be a completely different story had it been Jesus’ cross that Brian took upon his back so long ago on that fateful day. Talk about right place at the wrong time. I wonder if he (Jesus) would have lived forever. He’d likely be an architect or something.
heeey…sorry fail on getting the email out. I haven’t been online for a few days.
I just noticed the comments regarding Easter weekend, which is the time I sent in the email….so we can change that up for sure.
Jonno…the email was sent to your southendparties one.
48 plus mine comments on a love? You people are getting soft 😛
hey the water is warm over here fizz^^^
