thehefnerSo why did no one tell me of the existence of Piratz Tavern, the pirate-themed bar and restaurant in Silver Spring? Is it possible that my piratical-obsessed friends in the Rudes somehow missed this, or am I just so out of the loop that I'm the last person to find out? If it's the latter, then truly shall I know I have drifted from you guys.

disc_sophist, what else have you been keeping from me?!)
I went there yesterday to kill an hour before going to see GOJIRA (GODZILLA) at the AFI, a theater I absolutely must frequent more frequently. When I decided that it might be fun to try the grog, the bustier-clad waitress asked, "rail or top shelf?" Not knowing what exactly was in grog at the time, I nonetheless instantly asked for top shelf. The day I start drinking crap just to get drunk is the day we should all start worrying.
Then she asked, "Glass or mug?" Well, I had a couple hours to sober up, so I said, "mug." So out she returned with big ol' man's-mug of grog. For those who don't know, this particular grog was comprised of three kinds of rum (Tortuga, Bacardi, and some other notable name brand), triple sec, and a strange new substance called falernum, which also contains rum, ginger beer (they make alcoholic ginger beer?), and cloves. I think the cloves were they only nonalcoholic part of the entire mug.
So. Yeah. Kinda wasn't expecting that. Ha. Ha.
I still wasn't sober when I get out of GOJIRA, so I decided to make a double-feature of it and see the AFI's new print of MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, which is even funnier when coming down from a mug of rum in a theater-full of aging geeks.
A good evening all in all, even though I still don't have all the feeling back in my lips. Next time, I'm definitely not going to Piratz Tavern alone. Also, I may sometime go dressed as Corsair, the space pirate from X-Men. Perhaps for my birthday party.
