Think With Your Dipstick

There was a little baseball game on last night that you might have heard about. In honor of the Phillies’ opening night at Citizens Bank Park, McGillins’ Olde Ale House has created new drinks, including the Phillie-tini and the Phanatic Pheckin Bomb. The Phillie-tini has raspberry vodka, Triple Sec, and Crandberry juice, while the Phanatic Pheckin Bomb features Apple Pucker, Irish Whiskey, and Sin Apple Cider. Both sound like they’re worth a try.

While breaking away from the office for a liquid lunch might not be the best idea, you might not be SOL. If it’s a mock-tini you are after, it seems that Orbit has got you covered. They’ve got a whole host of flavors including Mint Mojito, Fabulous Frutitini, and Sangria Fresca. I’m not the only one that’s caught onto this. Not entirely sure what’s up with these flavors though. Is this what they hand out at A.A. meetings?

Maybe I should ask Jason, former Hills cast member. I wonder if he’ll re-emerge on tonight’s new episode. MTV’s got a slideshow to hold you over until 10, if you can’t stand the suspense.

Last night Carrie Underwood became the first woman since 2001 to be named the Academy of Country Music entertainer of the year. She’s also only the seventh woman EVER to win the ACM’s top honor since it was first handed out in 1970. I have a soft spot for Carrie. It’s awesome that this American Idol winner is accomplishing so much.

As far as making it through this Monday, just keep thinking with your dipstick. You’ll be just fine.
