Titana.

Still crazy.

OK, I had to go next door and ask (jewelers). A bottom of the line ruby, 1ct, wholesale, is about $650

That is still cheaper then the drink though.....







Titana.

How obnoxiously, nauseatingly extravagant.

Nah.
The extravagant part would be to just chug the entier drink, ruby included.

I'd like a diamond ring, please.

My only diamond "ring" was given to me by my Grandma Stair. She had her earrings made into a ring just for me. I don't have pierced ears. She loves me very much.

Oh, yeah, pass the booze!

So let's not worry about how much dinner with ToSeek cost, you could have ordered drinks too.

Oh, we did!

But THOSE drinks?

Nome sane?

I was a little intoxicated, but ToSeek was so in control. What a man!
He could of had his way with me, but such a gentleman.

Class is its own reward.

back to a slightly earlier sub-topic... yeah, no matter how you square it, that drink is insanely overpriced - **unless** the ruby is not bottom of the line (it's certainly not top! 1ct pure red clear runs about $2000)..

But I'm betting the bar is making neary $200 on each drink (based on their claim that the fixin's cost about $120)

Wow, I thought all you could find at the bottom of a booze bottle was the dregs of yourself respect...the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I found a cigarette butt, once. I didn't realize someone had put it in my can of beer (Ball State Party)

One day, after a long day at work, a man schlepped into a bar and ordered a beer. Just has he took his first sip, a siren went by outside. Along with the rest of the patrons and staff, he sped outside to see what was going on, and was treated to the view of a police car speeding down the street.

Upon his return to the bar, he discovered that his beer mug was empty. Looking around, he could find nobody who seemed guilty. Somewhat disgruntled, he ordered another beer.

But, hardly had his second beer arrived when another siren sounded outside. Again, everybody ran outside - this time just able to see an ambulance speed around the corner.

Also again, when our hero returned to the bar, his beer was gone and nobody looked even remotely guilty. Now in a high snit, he ordered a THIRD beer, determined to keep it to himself.

Just as he was settling down for a good swallow, there was a horrendous crash right outside on the street. Taking a second to jot a note reading "I spit in this beer" and posting it on his mug, he raced outside.

In fairly short order, things calmed down and the patrons returned to the bar again. Our hero could see his beer still sitting on the bar. In a considerably better frame of mind, he strode up to the bar - and read what had been added to his sign: "I know, so did I"

hrm..in Pellican?

Might be Pelican, I've never been to actual locale, just heard of the drink...I considered donating a digit but the thought of severing a finger sobered me right up...besides they have several they just recycle, said finger only need touch the tongue methinks...then they pop it back in the cooler, till the next cheechako comes in..
