Going Like Sixty

Going Like Sixty

Heads Up: Rum Day is October 16

Or August 21, or October 21. It’s kind of like International Procrastination Day or International Doobie Day.
Whatev, dude!

Just to keep things on the up and up, I will be commemorating International Rum Week next week in Barbados.

BTW:  We burned the house and all our belongings. The Dodge Magnum Hemi Station Wagon was totaled in a massive collision with a rogue tobacco wagon.

I am taking our Smart and my Maker’s Mark kayak with us.

The dogs have not been fed, wormed,  or vaccinated. I have mistreated them horribly so they are vicious and hate the sight of anything with hands and arms.

There is nothing left of our homestead – so unless you have a real hankerin’ for some burned up bluegrass sod, that’s about all that is left to steal. Just move along you pirates, there be better bounty at the neighbors.

I have been honing my skills as a Rum Drinker in preparation. Dulling the Bourbon buds if you will. I’m finding a sincere appreciation for my creation, the Sierra Mist Sister Twister (four of these and you’ll be looking at nuns a whole new way):

In a 24 ounce souvenir cup…

  • 12 ounce can of Diet Sierra Mist Cranberry
  • 4 ounces of pineapple juice
  • 11 ice cubes
  • Cheapo rum to the top

My rum of choice in Barbados will be the bottle in front of me – remember: I would rather have a free bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy.

I will be tasting the Mahiki brand since

The taste is medium weight in flavours, with vanilla, baked banana and sweet raisin with a long and sweet finish.

This long aged rum uses a blend of pot and column distilled rums to ensure it has a long and sweet finish.

It has then been aged in Bourbon and Madeira casks in order to create a full-bodied rum which can be enjoyed on its own, with a mixer or as a more elaborate cocktail.

Barbados is the home of Mount Gay rum and I will fulfill my duties as a Kentucky Colonel to check their distillery and dutifully scoff at their methods and proclaim

Hey Bubba! Watch This! I’m drinking Gay rum!

…as I chug their finest rum with nary a whisper of a breath as it goes down my gullet. Rum is only 40 proof! Kiddy drinks with umbrellas!
