Happy 21st Birthday, Davis

Beer and Flying Saucer Shooters all around: My oldest is legally a man. The lads wouldn't return from a Fourth of July weekend trip with their mamma until into the wee small hours, so it was just Davis and me for his Birthday (Don't feel too badly for him; he and his buddy Matt spent Saturday night/Sunday morning teaching Charleston how to party).
So, how did we spend the day? Beer, frisbee and cake. The gifts he received were few, and largely symbolic, but he seemed to enjoy them. Ah, come on, you know you like flying saucer shooters!

Ahhh, 21. I remember that party in Indy. Well, I have the pictures to remind me of that night anyway.

Star, I think I spent my 21st on the road. I'm pretty sure there wasn't any special remembrance; of course, the legal drinking age was 18 when I turned 18, so 21 wasn't as big a deal.

the beer/wine age was still 18 when I went to El Cid, but it kept creeping up each year on Oct. 1 ... fortunately for me, I turned a year older on Oct. 26 ... so I just had to stash a few bottles of MD 20/20 (Orange Jubilee flavor) in my car on Sept. 30 to hold me over ...

first 21 legal drink was at, of all places, Annabelles at the mall in Charleston ... an Old Fashioned.

I have pix still of my friend puking back at school at the end of that night!

Just askin ... .

My 21st was a bad mix of blueberry shnapps, tequila and "vulcan mind probes". Barfing can be your friend. Glad Dave jr had the dad there to avoid that kind of mess. And I saw those mini Heiny kegs at WalMart the other day. How cool are they(if only I liked Heiny)?

and you're skeezing me out, Chase.

Chase, my baby girl's 18, and... don't make me come over there! And, Old Fashioneds? Well, at least it didn't have Scnapps in it.

John, you were just asking for a hang-over. The pony-keg is a treasure, for sure. I think you can get them in Killian's Red, too.

My first drink as a 21 yoa? Probably, blandly, Budweiser beer. I know, I know.

FYI beer drinkers: I bought this thing called the "Bubba Keg" at Target. I take it up to the trails because it keeps my water ice cold. But the rest of the beer drinkers up there always ask if I've finally filled it with beer. Just a thought: its a keg you can fill with whatever you want!

Does Bubba keep the beer carbonated?

Star said...

I wouldn't know....I guess it depends on how long you let it sit outside in the woods.

I'd drink flat beer if I had been forced to hike to some godforsaken place in the woods.

Thanks, dave but I like my beer with links (I'm too old to copy and paste).

Well, John, since you taught me how to do it:
