Arizona Grape Lime Rickey

Arizona Grape Lime Rickey is a sparkling grape and lime flavored beverage from Arizona Iced Tea. I don’t know who Rickey is or what he does, but I like his namesake beverage. It’s sweet, it’s crisp, and it makes an excellent mixer. I’m enjoying my Arizona Grape Lime Rickey with a little vodka in it. Actually let me be honest, I’m enjoying my vodka with a little Arizona Grape Lime Rickey in it. Either way, my head is buzzing and my taste buds are happy. I think that’s the sign of a good drink, right?

Ordering a Cocktail But Not Knowing What’s In It

The vast majority of people in a bar order basic cocktails like margaritas, martinis, Long Islands, etc. But there is always some asshole that orders a drink that nobody has ever heard of before. Ordering a cocktail but not knowing what’s in it is a great way to piss off your bartender. There are hundreds if not thousands of cocktail names and recipes, so you should be prepared to help out your bartender if you order something obscure like a Skittle shot or a Vampire Juice or something. You should know more about the drink than just its name. You should know what liquors are in it, you should know what mixers to use, and you should know if it’s a shot or something you sip on. A lot of people will order a stupid drink because it sounds cool, but they don’t have the slightest idea what is in it. And that’s fucking retarded. You shouldn’t order something if you don’t know what’s in it. That’s just plain common sense.

Singing Blink-182 Songs in a Keanu Reeves Voice

A few years ago I discovered that singing Blink-182 songs in a Keanu Reeves voice not only fits the music, but it makes it better. Much better in fact. Try it. I recommend singing “All the Small Things” in your best Keanu voice. Imagine Keanu from Bill & Ted doing karaoke and try to imitate that. The more exaggerated your California surfer accent is, the better it will sound. Remember to add unnecessary pauses and to put exaggerated inflections on the wrong words. Those are essential Keanu traits that enhance Blink-182’s pop-punk sound. I don’t know why singing Blink-182 songs in a Keanu Reeves voice sounds so good, but it does. And I try not to question the good things in life, I just embrace them.

A Pimple In Your Nose

It’s bad enough getting a pimple but sometimes you get a pimple somewhere else other than your face. Sometimes you get them on your chest, back, I got one on the top of my ear once, but getting a pimple in your nose is the worst. An inner nose pimple is almost impossible to pop. And it’s not a normal spot for a pimple so it’s noticeable. It also gets kind of swollen and hurts a little bit. It’s kind of like a mosquito bite, it’s not really painful but it is uncomfortable. I would recommend getting a pimple in your nose if you can help it. I don’t know how to prevent nasal zits, but I’m sure you can find a remedy on Google if you look for one. You might want to clear your search history afterwards though. You don’t want other people to associate you with nose pimples.

Talking Into a Fan

There’s something about talking into a fan that reverts everybody into being a five-year-old again. It’s fun. It distorts your voice and makes you sound like Darth Vader. Well, a low-rent Darth Vader, but Darth Vader nonetheless. The most important thing to remember about talking into a fan is to keep your distance. Nothing takes the joy out of fan talking faster than getting your tongue stuck in the blades. You’ll end up with a bloody tongue and a broken fan. And no Darth Vader impression is worth that much hassle. Also try not to spit when you’re talking into a fan, it’s like spitting in the wind and you’ll regret it instantly (especially if your tongue is bleeding).
