Yup. I am a loser. And I really am bad. I live an hour away.

Any one else?


It's been a while since we had a party in here anyway.

So I brought drinks!

Specialty Drink of the loser party: The Loser

Ice
1 oz pisco
1/2 oz Velvet Falernum
3 oz pinapple juice
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 black pepper syrup
1 oz chilled club soda
Pinch of freshly ground pepper, for garnish


Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add all the reimaining ingredients except the soda and group pepper. Shake well. Strain into an ice-filled highball glass. Stir in the soda. Garnish with pepper


Sigh. Wish I was there having a ball instead of sitting here drinking a loser

I want in...please! I have Zero Vitamin Water GO GO flavor for those not drinking the hard stuff.

We will be at WDW on Monday night...how's that for timing? Missed ICOT 15 by 3 days.:

Jim&AngieMarriner
10-25-2012, 02:07 PM
We went back in April. Which is fine because we would not have been able to go due to DW getting a new job.

Being a Whovian (Dr Who Fan), I will bring a Dr Who Themed adult beverage. Its called a TARDIS. If you watch Dr Who then you know what the TARDIS is.

The Drink:
Tangere Gin
Absynth
Raspberry vodka
Diet Blue Raspberry soda
Ice
Stir stick

makes for a nice tastey, if strong, drink. :beer::thumbsup:

I'm in. Another loser here. I'll have one of those loser drinks, thank you very much!!!

I'll go ahead and blame my kids' school for not making it to ICOT 15. They had a whole week off last week as their "fall" break. Why couldn't it have been this week????????

Yeah I had to break out hte hirricane mix. We are already having some bands of wind and rain from Sandy. Hurricane party instead of Icot 15? Nah still not the same.

I wish I was there.

The Happiest Gathering is still one of my favorite memories and one of the funnest weekends I have had in my entire life. I can just imagine what fun they are having this year.


Oh and Virtual drinks are safe for pregnant women too! :thumbsup:

I will make some classic New Orleans style Hurricanes (I even have some Pat O'Brian glasses for them) and we can have a Hurricane toast to all those living in the north east.
I live in the gulf coast so I am extremely sympathetic to anyone facing a hurricane.
Prayers and Pixie Dust to all those in the path of Hurricane Sandy.

Had a great time at the losers party. Sending some Cali sunshine:sun::sun: to chase away those stormy hurricane rains and wind:umbrella::rain::umbrella::rain: Stay safe everyone.

P.S.

Broght everyone some Frankenweenie Dogs from DCA's Award Weiners: They are sausages wrapped in bacon. They are in a jalapeno bun with sauteed onions and BBQ sauce. Sounds gross.. but OMG they are soooo good. DD loves her without the onion. I have mine in a regular bun. The jalepeno bun is very spicy.

My party senses were tingling! Student teaching makes going this time of year a bear, so in normal UGA fashion, I'll attend a party instead! ;)

It's too stinkin' cold for fall in the South! So my contributing party drink is hot cocoa!

Popcorn, liquor, cocoa, and Vitamin Water... this is the coolest party in the world. :mickey:

I'm snatching up some of that Cali sun, hopefullly it will help! The virtual Frankenweenies were right up my DS alley, thanks!

Maybe we can extend this loser party into hurricane party? Check-in with updates and let everyone know how you're doing. I'm sure some our ICOT friends that are not affected by the storm would be happy to share their goodies with us. :D

I was going to propose we turn into a hurricane party as well! We are flooding pretty badly in Virginia Beach. We have been lucky that the wind hasn't been to bad, but we have had 7 inches of rain plus full moon high tides.
Plus its cold!
Made some chili and bought some beer.

I'm a little late to the party, I was following the ICOT 15 celebration on twitter and was going through some major Disney withdrawl, I ended up getting a :mickey2::minnie2: tattoo on Thursday evening. Maybe I should have checked the boards first, oh well, now I always have a little bit of Disney magic with me.

So I missed I-COT 15 and the Losers Party. Good grief, that makes me a double loser. :(

Me too. I had my own pity party.

First, on October 25th I saw a Medal of Honor recipient give a speech at my work (he was very good).

Then on the 26th (Friday) I had a massage.

Then on the 27th DS5 tested for his green belt in Tae Kwon Do.

Then there was the hurricane, and I missed being in NJ. Parts of my old town we evacuated, and I missed it. I still wish I was there, without power but surrounded by friends.

Then yesterday to wrap up my celebration, I got braces. Again. Ow.
