The horseradish situation
Tuesday, April 3, 2007 at 00:32 [A FRIEND VISITS HO-BACON FOR THE FIRST TIME]
Mike: I want a glass of vodka with tomato juice and horseradish.
Me: That's a bloody mary.
Mike: No it's not, it is a glass of vodka with tomato juice and horseradish, where can I get one of those?
Me: Ho-bacon does not make drinks like that. Most places here do not even know what horseradish is, trust me.
Mike: What do you mean they don't know what it is? What kind of shitty place is this?
Mike: I got to get out of this town now. Let's drive into the city. I have a car, a gun and money, let's go.
Me: Ah, OK
Eight bars later we enter the Ear Inn:
Mike: Can I have a glass of vodka with tomato juice and horseradish?
Bar Woman: We have horseradish, but the cooks don't speak English and they won't know what I am asking for.
Mike: Go in the kitchen and get it then.
Thirty minutes later and tons of embarrassment, a large glass of horseradish appears on the table.
My bloody Mary is now almost white because the glass is half filled with horseradish.
Mike: How do you like it?
Me: I love it. (I can shoot fire now like a dragon, watch me)
Mike: Would you like another one? Come on, have one more.
Me: No, no, no thanks. No really. That one was great. No more. I can't, nope, absolutely not. I am finished.
Mike: Just one?
Me: OK, sure I'll have one more.
Mike: One more thing Lori, do you like Beethoven?

I was there and it was very funny!!! I had a great time on the 'Quest for the Golden Horseradish.' How many places did we try? I don't know, but I do know that most bars in Hoboken especially rip you off when it comes to the alcohol. SEVEN drinks and I wasn't even the slightest bit inebriated!!! Can you say 1/2 of a short four?????
The man has money and a gun! :) I should write a song about that - maybe I'll take some chord changes from Ludwig Van...
