Dear DU GD:P...

[bunnies]

Waiting for the results of my states primary has got me freaking out. Its also got me thinking about how much I love all you guys. Regardless of who we're rooting for I think the one thing we all share is an incredible dedication to the democratic process.

Mr. bunnies and I would probably be separated if I unleashed all my thoughts on him. And most of my friends would have already disowned me (and some have). They all put up with a LOT... but as we all know, those who are not full-fledged political junkies are quickly fed up with our non-stop political speak.

And for the first time... I will be fighting for a Senate candidate for a full year before the election. Go Jay Buckey! :) I probably never would have made such a commitment if it werent for DU.

With few exceptions... we all have our moments of suckyness and shit-headed snark-faced posts - but all told... This place totally fucking ROCKS!

Heres to us. :toast:

1. I agree. MY SO thought I had lost it the other night

after the Iowa caucuses, when I was ranting and raving about why didn't John Edwards do better and then went to the bar with my writers' group and foolishly had a couple of boilermakers (THAT was smart!).

[bunnies]

2. I know how you feel.

This is how me & my SO are tonight. We're an Obama / Edwards household. And Im on my second chocolate vodka - baileys coffee. :toast:

[LisaM]

3. Well don't switch to gin gimlets later on

Is my advice.

[bunnies]

12. had a bad experience with gin in 9th grade.

never recovered. :)
I trust your advice. I know its good. :hi:

4. Huh? Please 'splain the chocolate vodka/Bailey thing to me...

Is there such a thing as chocolate vodka that I've been unaware of, or are you mixing Bailey's and coffee and vodka?

Either way, I say BRILLIANT!!!!

:toast:

[LisaM]

9. I THINK there is a chocolate version of Bailey's

I know that there is a chocolate liqueur made by Godiva. Tasty, and you have to be really careful.

[bunnies]

16. what Im talking about is actually chocolate vodka.

10. At my age, a late glass of Prosecco is enough to give me a headache tomorrow. n/t

[bunnies]

11. Youre missing out!!!

Three Olives brand chocolate vodka. I will give you the secret recipe. Here we call it a "fuzzy buzzy"... yeah, bunny actually is my nickname. :) Anyway.... 1 part Creme de Cacao (clear) - 1.5 part Baileys irish creme (or less expensive equivalent) - and 1 part Three Olives chocolate vodka. Serve with ice and cold coffee to taste. SOOOOO delicious.

:toast:

[LisaM]

19. How can you even be typing after that?

LOLOL.
