[Edit: I reread it, and I take back my comment, after seeing that it's a *vodka* martini. Pshh.]

Post by: jough on December 25, 2003, 09:22:11 pm: I too prefer vodka martinis to gin martinis, although I will drink a nice Bombay Sapphire martini every once in awhile, for variety.

And don't get me started about asking for a "Gibson" in most bars. Egad, around here they don't even know what a Rob Roy is.

Don't bartenders have to have degrees in "Mixology" anymore?

Same here, actually. Although it'll never, ever happen, I would just love to read the implicit backstory to this strip - and find out who, exactly, put this idea into poor little Philippe's head. I mean, on the one hand, you've got milk and cookies - pastoral, innocent, even the savage little unscrubbed hellions down the road that fill the idle afternoons setting each others' homes on fire know about this combo - and then on the other, vodka and nachos. Which reminds me of a personal anecdote involving impulsive behaviour, a tattoo parlor, and the HIV virus, but never mind; I shan't stray off topic.

I point the finger at Ray (Lyle's liquor tends to the brown) and an unattended stack of Beavis and Butt-Head DVDs.

Post by: Choop on December 28, 2003, 10:53:53 pm: Yeah, Lyle would have told Philippe to leave Santa a bottle of Beam's Choice, no food.

See, when I read this strip, I thought, "Oh, that's totally Lie Bot."

I think Ray probably instigated the nachos-and-booze idea, but Lie Bot was definitely involved in the equation somewhere -- I'd say at the general germ of the idea that Santa is somehow atoning for something bad he did previously. It's just not quite a Philippey idea, but it's exactly what Lie Bot would tell Philippe about that jolly old elf.
