Attention, Martini Bar bartenders of Orlando!
When you are asked to make a dirty martini, which, really, should be one of your specialties, considering you're a martini bar and all, you should be able to produce one that is pleasantly salty, in which I can vaguely taste the vodka used in the drink. It should not taste like someone dunked my head in the ocean and attempted to drown me and the only way I could survive was, by sheer reflex, gulping down saltwater and making bitter faces and hating my life and the situation I'm currently in. Especially if I specified that I did NOT want it "extra dirty." Please don't make me regret the $10 (plus tip) that I just spent for your libation.
Thank you for listening, Martini Bar bartenders of Orlando, if not the entire world.
PS: Note the exceptional use of commas in that first sentence. Thank you.

Hmmmm, sounds like I would have liked that dirty martini, since I like pickle juice and all, which you may have read in my blog, but I'm not sure if you did, but if you didn't you know now. Was that enough commas?
Nevermind a martini, I'd just like a friggin' ice cold Bud Light to go down the hatch, but that ain't happenin' for two years now. Fuck me.....
stick to rum and coke and this whole thing can be avoided!
nobody screws up a rum and coke.
I love commas. Commas are your friend, but the semicolon is sadly underused, though; rarely used properly, at that.
Holly: I would have rather drank pickle juice than that dirty martini. Seriously.
Mark: Just imagine how incredible that damn thing is going to taste when you do get to drink it! We need to get around to converting you to Yeungling, though...
MCG: I like to order drinks that I don't have the patience to make myself. Besides, I consumed so much rum and coke in my 4 years of college that I think I qualify for honorary Bahamian status at this point. You could say I got myself a little burned out on it. Now Grandpa's Cough Medicine (rum and root beer) is a different story...
My God! Maki has transmogrified into a pair of tennis shoes! He's a shapeshifter and has broken the seventh seal! AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Actually, all that was involved in the transmogrification process was a cardboard box with "TRANSMOGRIFIER" written on it. A duplicator will be my next project. It will be using similar technology, hopefully.
Boink.
CALVIN!!
what a detailed description. obviously you didnt have many poorly tasting martinis
Holy crap! I didn't know you read my site!
And I'll let the semicolon use slip this time. Next time I'm calling the grammar police, though. One-time warning and all.
Only some of the time? I guess I'm going to have to work on that.
Egg & Muffin Toaster is 100% worth the money, if you hadn't figured that out by what I've said about it already.
