Rum Punch

Post by flip-flop »

This is sort of off topic but it involves rum so really it is travel related!

Just a brief public interest warning:

If someone offers you punch that involves pomegranate juice, rum and champagne. Just politely decline and find yourself a glass of wine or cold beer.

Whew ... when you don't really taste the alcohol is when you can really get yourself in trouble.

I am just saying.

OMG - how true! Our first trip to St. John, we were at the Westin. I think by the time we finally got to the room I had 4 rum punches! I did NOTHING but lay in a beach chair the whole next day! It hits you before you know it!

That is why I told my daughter that when she gets to college, do not take a drink from someone that is called "punch". Been there, done that.

DOES YOUR HEAD HURT???? (I'm sorry, was I yelling?)

Take some aspirin, tell your boss you have the flu, and repeat after me: I will not drink 15 rum punches again, I will not drink 15 rum punches again, I will not.....

Wait, where is that hangover thread? If memory serves, you need to get nekkid and eat a burrito....something like that.

Somehow I missed that nekkid thread! That and burritos?? Sounds like a powerful combination! But heck - I'll try it! :lol:

Watch out, Sue. Remember, "That" has a whole different meaning on this forum.....but you know, that and burritos might just make you forget the rum punch, FF. :D

I think you need to go to JJ's and get a breakfast burrito and a diet coke, then haul a huge cooler filled with alot of beer and a little water to the beach. Then get to the beach and get nekkid.
Does that sound right?

I've actually coerced the Mrs. to participate in many a study into the healing powers of that. There are many things that can cure.

I should have an office holiday party. Let's see...I work from home in my basement. Would it be at all wrong to sit here and just drink tight from a Cruzan Bottle while I stare at the map of the VI's in my office and the big VI Pale Ale sign?

No?

OK then.[/i]
