Hank's Blog - When Drinking and Pools Collide
As you all know, I am the occasional consumer of a fine, "brewed to silky perfection" bottle of beer. I might even partake of something a bit stronger from time to time. During off hours. And never to excess. Well... hardly ever.
Anyway, I was in a situation the other day that reminded me of that fine line between "lovable drunkard" and "drunk asshole." (And why, of course, it is always wrong for someone not of legal drinking age to drink. Have you ever seen someone vomit in a pool before? I've seen the aftermath, and it ain't pretty. Wouldn't want to have to clean that baby up. Guess that's the darker, non-cougar banging side of the pool boy life.)
So I had this confrontation with someone who had gotten a bit too chummy with Senor Tequila. I've seen this guy drink before, but I wasn't prepared for the little Jekyll and Hyde thing he had going on. (Of course, I could have taken him if it came to a fight, but it would have been a hollow victory. The guy's not exactly tough.) I shouldn't say who this person is -- well, he probably wouldn't mind. Nah, I can't -- best to use some discretion in this case. Let's just say he likes science and shares a name with Harvey Keitel's character in a certain Tarantino film.
Now, I'm not upset at this person. I mean, hell, I've been there. I think we've all been there at some point. One minute you're innocently dancing on a table, and the next you're... well, let's just say that's why I personally don't drink Jagermeister anymore.
Oh man! It's hard though now that I've seen this thing in SkyMall. It's this machine that you put your bottle of Jager in, and it chills your shots. How great is that? Of course, I can't justify actually buying it. The sucker's like, 170 bucks or something completely obscene like that. But maybe my brother-in-law can come up with something. (He kind of owes me one. The reason why is unimportant.) You know, some dry ice or liquid nitrogen or sub-zero chamber deal. Guy's brain has to be useful for something other than cleaning up at Trivial Pursuit, right?
Never swim where you see anything chunky floating in the pool. I see a major clash brewing between you and Walt. I have to side with you on this one though. The question is though when the feud begins will it be over the life of drugs that Walt has become a major part of or will it be at the round table when Walt refuses to be blackmailed to keep his secret quite... I guess that's something we'll have to wait and see next season.
Hey Big Guy, Way to handle a dicey Family situation. Calm, cool and with a slight buzz. Major Props there Hankster.
Puke in a pool? Ugh! =P Nope, have'nt experienced that yet!
Once, did see something rather odd, floating in a kiddy pool...and, it was'nt a Baby Ruth bar, if you catch my drift! ;)
That pool-side scene was definately INTENSE! Once again, it was well-scripted and the acting superb!!!
Something I've wondered about:
After such a dramatic scene like that, how hard is it, for the actors/actresses to get out-of-character after filming?
Do you sometimes need a "cooling off" period, afterwards?
Hey Hank!
I just drank some of that home brew of yours (ran out of the real stuff) and sat on the toilet for a hour! It is better than any colon cleanse product out there!!!! Buy the way at the party, Flynn was drinking your home brew and thats what got him sick! sorry partner. The good news is i feel like a new man, I guess the home remedies are come across by accident! see you at work!

Hey man, if you want a way to chill your jager and not spend the 150 bucks you can use this thing that most people have in their own home. It's called a refrigerator. Maybe even a freezer. Just a thought.
Hey Hank.. On the exploding tortuga scene, Was that taken from a real-life situation?
