There are guides recommending sweet Vermouth for a sweet Martini. Atrocious, but there is no helping people. Personally I prefer a Martini only lightly perfumed with a dry Vermouth.

Well sure if someone orders a sweet Martini then of course sweet Vermouth is used. If you order just a Martini though, you'll get a dry one.

True.

You fucking nerds.

Some truth from church!

Thanks !

Yeah, how dare we know the two to four ingredients in some of the most popular drinks in the world.

I wrote it with love.

The Bloody Mary is pretty weak too.....

Fair enough.

Do we have a cocktail thread somewhere ?

That martini is an abomination. It has way too much vermouth*, never mind the sweet/dry problem.

I was at a wedding a few weeks ago, and of course ordered a martini. The exchange from the first bartender made me weep:

Me: Martini, please.
Bartender: What kind?
Me: Dry.
Bartender: No, what kind of alcohol?
Me: ...
Bartender: Vodka?

Luckily, the second one made it correctly without having to ask (stirred, with more vermouth spilled on the mat than made it in the drink).

*Any amount more than none is too much, but 2:1 should be a warcrime.

Yeah, no kidding. Especially when a Martini has 2 major ingredients (Gin or vodka, heathens) and vermouth, one ratio to remember (5/1 for my taste) that you adjust to taste, and a garnish, with the simple direction of stirring it (or shaking it, heathens) with cold ice and pouring into a cold glass.

This ain't Crusader Kings (or Dark Souls) that we're talking about here.

Why don't you just order a straight up gin?

That has to be intentional.

I mean, seriously. That's got to be some pastor deciding to try a little double entendre to bring people in. And, okay, good for you. I still wouldn't walk into your church, but I'd stop to chuckle at the sign, which is closer to saving the heathens than most come.

Because I cannot buy that they didn't see that.

Fun fact - if you go to any place in the city I live in (with the exception of one bar) and order a Martini you will get a glass of sweet Vermouth of exactly that brand. Try explaining the actual drink to the person behind the bar and you are in for some interesting conversation. Mention that the brand 'Martini' is not the only Vermouth and you will see people backing away slowly...

Yes! And I've just tagged most all of you in it and reposted the drink chart there for gratuitous yenta'ing.

Because I wanted it in a cold glass with an olive. Duh.

I'm betting tons of new ground will be covered on the subject of how to make a martini.

You decide. I think at least SOME of these must be intentional. But one is from Psalms...about the joy of one's right hand.

I know right? Fucking idiots, using a forum to talk to people about a shared interest in a thread specific to that topic. What a bunch of revolting cocks. Next thing you know they'll be talking about something even more retarded, like video games.

Ah. I see you're a fellow veteran of the Cock Revolution of 20XX.

I put my own down with a bullet to the glans. Little bastards took out every member of the section, except for me. They had some balls, I'll give 'em that much.

Sometimes, I lie awake at night.

Thinking about the things I've seen.

The things I've done.

Maybe it'd have been better if I hadn't survived.

Some of these are centuries old. The knowledge of creating them passed down to each generation.

I'm not a big fan of 'anything goes as long you put it in a spoiler tag'.

EDIT: I'm also not a big fan of not contributing more than a complaint so I found this image which is mildly clever but kind of cute:

Cool B&W pictures of celebrities, some a bit dark, some interesting for other reasons.

You know full well that's not the point. :P

Very neat LK.

Who's the guy between James Hetfield and Marilyn Manson? I love the look on Manson's face.

Looks like Fred Durst to me.

It was just a record cover (excellent album btw), but I turned it into a link just in case.

Yea, it is. Speaking of Limp Bizkit and Metallica, feast your ears on this!

Most of those are absolutely amazing and clearly by the same photographer, so it's an absolute disgrace they're just plopped on Imgur with no text and not a hint to who actually made them.

Well, reverse image searching and a comment from the photographer himself (strangely not demanding a takedown) identified him as Andy Gotts.
I knew I'd seen his work before in Empire, I just couldn't remember the name.

I'm also particular to this Roger Moore picture:


There's more on his own page.

James Bond was no Saint... Oh wait he was.

I knew I'd seen that somewhere before.

What the fucking fuck the fuck was that fucking fuckery? FUCK YOU KERZAIN BY KERZAIN.

That reminds me of Vegas where I saw Batman and the Joker outside Caesars Palace - nothing out of the orinary there, but when I passed them, Batman was showing the Joker something clearly cool on his mobile. Would have made a great behind the scenes photo, but I couldn't be bothered.
