Steve and the Tank! - No longer a mojito virgin, Why women are better at 35 than 18.

No longer a mojito virgin, Why women are better at 35 than 18.

While at the Harvest in the Square Tuesday evening, the Tank hung out with new and old friends.

As the heaviest lightweight drinker going, The Tank was already slurring his words by the time Kathleen got there about 30 minutes late from work. A brief transcript appears below:

Kathleen: "You're drunk aren't you?"

Tank: "Yup." No use in lying after ten or so shot glasses of wine and Brooklyn Brewery Oktoberfest Beer. (On the back of the Brooklyn Brewery's beer coasters was the fact that Brooklyn Brewery is the first NYC company to switch to 100% wind generated electricity thanks to NewWind Energy. Though the Tank has a more than a few drinks in him, can he get windmills going on his 51.78 acres Upstate which is not far from a current planned wind farm in Jordanville? What are the zoning requirements?  Anything is worth a shot to improve the environment and get America away from OPEC supplied oil. Fingers crossed as the Tank investigates.)

Talk about a cool gig, Steve is on the board of John's startup Internet Wine Database company. The reason I drank so much is that Steve and I would wait until John sampled the wine. If he liked it (and took their business card), Steve and I knew it was something we should try. If you don't have a chance to party with John because he is the walking wine version of Internet Movie Database, please check out his Internet Wine Database which is in the process of construction so please keep checking back.

If you're going to marathon "train" with Linda, Steve, and Kathleen, you better be ready to "train". After The Tank already had too much to eat and drink, we had mojitos at a nearby bar courtesy of "White Fedora Mike". The Tank has heard about mojitos, especially in the recent hit movie "Miami Vice", so it was worth a shot.

Speaking of the NYC Marathon, Lance Armstrong is training for it.  We then started making predictions about how we thought Lance would do. Steve's goal is to finish two hours or less behind Lance Armstrong. Our predictions for Lance's finish are as follows in hours:minutes:

John: 2:45
Mike: 3:10
Steve: 2:39
Kathleen: 2:32.30
Linda: 3:00
Tank: 2:40

The conversation then staggered wildly from "Pushing Tin" with John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, and Angelina Jolie to (b) John's sales trip in a Winnebago from Mansfeld, Ohio, to Wrigley Field, and back to movies (c) "Monster's Ball".

    Conclusion of this inebriated conversation: John and I decreed a new Miller Lite Man Law that women are better at 35 than 18. More details when Steve and I get the premium content part of the website going. Until then, please trust us.

    Mega thanks to Linda for organizing this and inviting me!

Go Mets! / Yankees! / The Gang!
