Last week I walked into a convenience store to get some coffee… okay, and maybe a doughnut… and heard this conversation between a woman and the clerk behind the counter:

Woman: Do you have Grand Marnier?

Clerk: No, but we have some Hennessy.

Woman: Um, it’s not the same thing.

Clerk: But you can drink Hennessy anytime! You can drink it on your birthday. You can drink it on your kid’s birthday.  You can drink it on Jesus’ birthday. 

Woman: Yeah, well, um… I’m just going to go now.

After she left, the clerk said to a guy standing by the counter, “Grand Marnier? What the hell is that?

Hennessy, the drink for all occasions… Logtar will have a Hennessy party some day! Logtar talks in the third person while drinking Hennessy, in fact everyone must.

That clerk should be dropped kicked through life’s goal post.

Reminds me of the argument I had at a coffee shop. I asked for green tea but the clerk told me that I really wanted green tea with mint because green tea taste like grass. I said that I liked the grassy taste and that I might even smoke some grass later. Even the cop behind me laughed.

if i’m going to frequent, say, a Shop n’ Go, 7-11 or whatever the hell those nasty little huts are attached to Conoco stations, why it’s only natural to be imbibing tuaca…

if in a great mood and getting something from QT, grand marnier is the thing…

if winter is nigh, sleigh bells are ringing and it’s only a few days before my birthday and then christmas and i’m blitzed in Macy’s (don’t ask), well then, only martell’s cordon bleu will do…

none of these fine liquors should be asked for anyplace less than your local dealers liquor store…

“You can drink it on days that end with ‘Y’!!!!”

But I’ll stick with the Pabst, Jack, and Miller High Life

Grand Marnier is hi end triple sec, and I totally recommend it for custom margarita making.

Nuke has never had Hennessy but remembers it as being in the cognac family. And while Nuke (I may have mentioned) has never had Hennessy, Nuke has enjoyed Armagnac in the past.

And I think Dochas the right idea Don’t go to the quickie mart for fine booze and don’t go to the finest local wine distributor looking for a squishi.

Doc and nuke beat me to the punch. I’ve not yet seen a quickie mart sell Grand Marnier. What the hell is up with that?

Even though wikipedia seems to describe it as a high end triple sec it really isn’t. Grand Ma is made from Cognac and distilled with orange. It is used as a substitute for Triple sec for high end Margs but it is much more than high end triple sec……

That is classic.

I didn’t know what Grand Mariner was either, until I saw Nuke’s comment. Of course, I’m not sure what exactly triple sec is either, but at least I’ve heard of that more often.

Oh this did tickle me, so it did. I think I’ll have some Georgian brandy to soothe the tickle.

Man, you’re good.
