-The Pointless Vodka Story-
When I was little I used to see guys in the movies drinking "scotch on the rocks" or glasses of whiskey and it always sounded so yummy. I mean, this is the first thing these dudes wanted when they got home from a hard day so it must taste good, right? Like melted butterscotch is what I thought. As I got older and sneaked into my Dad's liquor cabnet I tried my damnedest to find that drink. Obviously I wised up and realized what the game is all about.
But last night my childish thoughts got the best of me when a couple friends and I stopped by the bar before we were gonna go see THX1138 at the theatre. While sitting at a corner table I noticed this really cute girl drinking a martini at the bar. After realising I had nothing to say to interest her my mind started to wander to the drink.
What is the martini all about? What the hell is in it? It's clear so there can't be much. I really like those green olives with the red pits though.
So I went up and ordered one and quickly realized I had made a mistake. First of all the bartender told me this was her least favorite drink to make...so I said "Your Welcome!" and knew I was obligated to a bigger tip than I planned. Then I noticed that all I was about to recieve was a glass of Vodka that had been run through ice
So walking back to my chair I realized I look like a huge metrosexual and was carrying about 3 to 4 shots of pure vodka in a funny little glass.
Needless to say I wasn't really in the mood to go to the movie after that. I was sort of sauced though so we went to a restuarant and I dumped my movie money on some really good vegan lasagna (spelling?) so it sort of worked out in the end.
I wonder how deep into the alcoholic game one must get before that is the drink of choice? I mean was James Bond trying to embalm his insides?
Moral of the story...don't try anything new or different
Actually, just stay away from charcoal filtered liquor that comes in plastic bottles and has a picture of the Kremlin on it.

but as to "a glass of vodka that had been run through ice", yuk!
I guess what we all learned from your story is that: if the bartender says they dont like doing a certain drink: keep your hands off it!!!
Next time try my favourite drink instead: amaretto with apple juice! Tastes like delicious liquid marzipan desert! (But not everyones thing I bet
ps: thanx for the "
