I have a list of my own.  My list is very different though.  My list is a collection of people I would like to invite to my house for burgers and beers on the deck.  It’s a list of people I want to just hang out with.

The people on the list strike me as being interesting, but also genuinely friendly.  People I would actually like to spend some time with.

Being on this list should be considered the highest honor.

  • Michael Keaton
  • Kurt Russel
  • Nathan Fillion

Since the list is such an honor, I really try to limit it.  Of course there are people I would like to hang out with.  The problem is that a lot of the people I would like to hang out with are probably dicks.  As interesting as he might be, George Lucas strikes me a a dick.

( * UPDATE * )

As of today, we have a new person being admitted to the list!  His name is Ray Stevenson.  He played (most excellently) Titus Pullo on the HBO series ROME.  Of all the characters on the series, his is the most worthy of my list.  I’ve heard many interviews with Ray (Mr. Stevenson) and he seems like an extension of Titus Pullo (or vice versa).

As such, he is a welcomed member of my list.  Mr. Stevenson, just get in touch with me anytime and I’ll guarantee you a sleeper sofa, a firepit, excellent conversation and a boatload of beer and cocktails.

The same goes for the rest of you on my list!

This lowball cocktail has the hunter in mind, what with whiskey, brandy and a hint of cherry, it is a perfect way to relax after a day of hiking through the woods or staking out a deer trail. For the lady hunters there is also a slightly more delicate version, the Huntress Cocktail. Good luck!

The splash of lime will wake up your taste buds from the winter doldrums as you enjoy the light spring showers of April.

Nobody blogs about Coors Light.

People blog about cocktails though!  And sometimes you just aren’t in the mood for beer!  So this is for the cocktail people out there.
