If Your Blog Were a Beverage, What Kind Of Drink Would It Be?

The rules are simple: Tell us what kind of refreshing liquid best matches your blog/personality, and why you are that drink. I'll start: I'm a cabernet, because I love red wine and this Valentine's, I might surprise you with a nice bouquet. (OK, kind of corny, but it's harder than it looks).

Cyanide-laced Kool-Aid, of course!-
OK, so one vote for Guyana Punch. Fan of the Judys'?
-
Never heard of them until just now!
-
-
Something with tropical fruit and a toxic amount of alcohol.... -
Yeah, drjay1966, we've got kind of a "toxic beverage" theme going, right now. Excellent SuperGrover avatar, by the way.
-
Captain Coke of course!-
Nice choice, LadySwan. Spiced rum is the way to go.
-
-
Large iced caramel latte-
I like a cappuccino just this side of scalding, myself.
-
-
It's Friday 13, the day before Valentine's Day, and Lincoln's birthday. Surely you have some reason to drink something. If so, what would it be? And how does it relate to your blog?
-
Strong coffee. It's a little bitter, addictive, it might keep you awake at night, and it might cause jitters and/or rapid heart beat.
Sometimes, it's even a diuretic, but that's only when I try out a humor post now and again
-
Sounds like your blog is a pick me up in the morning. But drink lots of water and take two aspirin before perusing, right?
-
Yeah.
Best viewed late at night though - when the curtains are closed and the doors are locked.
You know, if you're a conspiracy theorist living in your mom's basement . -
Anok...
I thought we agreed you would not release any of my personal information?
:-S
-
-
No wine drinkers out there? What kind of drink would your blog be? Hot or cold? Mixed or straight up? Bitter or sweet? Would it come with a little plastic sword or umbrella in it? Inquiring minds want to know...
-
The Screaming Me-Me - "Sex on the Beach", you can never get enough.
The Turquoise Moon - "Tequila Sunrise", a state of mind in Arizona.-
Anything with lime in it is bound to be tangy. Margaritas are another fav, although I'm not exactly sure how that relates to my blog. Rimmed with rock salt? Killer hangover later? Who knows?
-
-
A mocktail.-
Really? Does your blog take on a sardonic, mocking tone? Or are you a tee-totaler? Would near beer also fit the bill for your posts?
-
-
Does your blog require ice? Is it neat or on the rocks?
-
Jasmine tea with a little bit of catnip.-
Wow! I've never heard that one before! Are you a cat lover, or does catnip give you/your blog that extra little "oomph"?
-
Jasmine and catnip are conducive to dreamspeaking when used in moderation. Since my blog is on innocence and dreaming, it fits.
-
-
What kind of vessel would you "drink" your blog out of? Champagne flute? Cheesy coconut? Shot glass? Jewel-encrusted chalice? Mead horn? Beer bong? Your cupped hands? Keep the thread going!
-
The Holy Grail.
-
Drink? I'd have it pumped into my body intravenously.
-
-
Gastric acid.
-
That's a mighty acerbic blog/beverage. Acid reflux problem, by any chance?
-
I wouldn't say it's a problem. I just enjoy spewing bile.
-
-
Ha! Clever retort. Major style points for originality.
-
Are these points redeemable at major fashion outlets?
-
-
Yes, but you have to accumulate 100,000 style points before you can even redeem a candy bar. Typical.
-
That sucks. I want my money back.
-
-
vanilla milk shake-
Really? Is your blog cool and frosty? By the way, try a banana, brown sugar and vanilla ice cream milk shake, sometime. (Rum optional). It's amazing.
-
-
Nice cup of steaming hot chocolate with marshmallow cream on top!-
Is it cream or fluff? And why does it explode out of the jar at altitude?
-
-
Deep Fried Orange Soda.-
Is that like deep fried Coca Cola from the state fair?
-
-
Jolt Cola.-
That stuff is still going?!
Seriously. It was like crack cocaine for kids.
Bloody great though, if the jitters is your thing. -
I used to drink like 4 of those a day.... I think I went like a month without sleeping. after the first week, I started hallucinating and since it was cheaper than hard drugs... I just kept doing it.....
LOL -
Which is worse -- Red Bull or Jolt? Personally, I hated the aftertaste of Jolt -- worse than Diet Pepsi!
-
You get used to the after taste. Just like beer... that is the foulest drink I can imagine pouring down my throat... but after a couple... it doesn't taste that bad anymore.
-
I remember that Jolt used to give me a fuzzy film on my teeth. It's was probably all the rocket fuel the added.
-
-
A quarter pint of Carling shandy in a half pint glass with a tab end floating on the top.-
not lukewarm piss? -
Oh so you have read it?
-
Ah, but the giant breath mints at the bottom are delicious.
-
-
I would have to say my blog is like a STOP LIGHT. Not a lot of people have ever had one of these, but depending on how its done... It is so potent... that you usually can only handle 2 maybe 3 if you dont tip the bar keep just right. WIth the right tip on the first one, you wont make it past the 2nd.
Like my blog, its potent and straight up. No fluff and it can burn going down.-
There's a potent drink that fur trappers used to drink in the Old West of the U.S. called "Taos Lightning." It was plug tobacco, rot gut whiskey, hot chili peppers and gun powder mixed up in an earthen jug. The trappers drank it until they went blind. Is your drink/blog anything like that?
-
I doubt my blog will cause blindness... infact, it generally does just the opposite. Its and EYE OPENER... perhaps I should have made up a drink called "PEELS YOUR EYELIDS OFF" or something like that. Or maybe just "Straight Shine" cause after the first dose... the fire it starts inside you is sure to make your blood boil and your eyes will definitely be open.
While I do not attempt to expose any coverups or government conspiracies... I do explore options that the governement could be using to make our situation better quickly and quite inline with everything that President Obama wants to do.

squirt-
Ah, Squirt, also known as Mountain Dew without any caffeine. There are so many crass jokes to make off its name, too. But I shall leave this for others.
-
-
Clever question, I need to think of an even more clever answer-
Take your time...drink it all in...
(I'm sorry, that was terrible).
-
-
Could I sip your blog through a straw? Or would that be gauche?
-
So none of your blogs are Harvey Wallbangers or fuzzy navels?
-
A green drink made from fresh juiced green veggies. All healthy. -
With wheat grass? Any vitamin power boosts? (Can you tell I'm a fan of Jamba Juice?)
-
-
sparkling water???
-
Pelligrino? Or some other brand?
-
-
one too many Jack on the rocks-
I like the top shelf Gentlemen Jack myself. On the rocks is definitely the way to go. Great blog comparison.
-
-
Dark ale, so thick a spoon stands up in it.-
Handcrafted, small batch microwbrew, right? I like a Pale Ale, myself.
-
-
So how do you open your favorite blog/beverage? Bottle opener? Corkscrew? The bare, naked power of your front teeth? Do you tap it on the counter and hand it to someone else to open, then claim you "loosened it?" C'mon, people! Let's hear what you have to say!
-
Vodka, milk and roses.-
Something akin to a White Russian, then?
-
XD totally gtally!
-
-
I would be a Dandelion and Burdock
-
Sarsaparilla, sassafras and birch beer are great, too!
-
But they are not like my blog
-
-
I dunno
What's something edgy, angry, and bitter that you love?
>.-
Gotta go with old coffee or Sambuca.
-
-
Red bull makes my nose itch.
-
Funny, too much coffee makes me sneeze. What kind of drink is your blog, if it's not Red Bull?
-
-
So, are your blogs carbonated or flat? Any fizz to those posts?
-
A Gray Goose martini, ice cold with blue cheese olives, with a fine cigar. Hmm...it must be Saturday night!-
Clearly, davedol, you're someone who enjoys the finer things in life. Kind of a smokey, savory blog, then.
-
-
I would say Ketel One w/Red Bull. It will put a little pep in your step, but too much might get you in trouble
...Especially if you're reading at work and have to explain why you're laughing in your cubicle instead of being productive!-
ListenToLeon, your blog sounds potent. I'll have sample it in extremely small doses to avoid the jitters.
-
-
A Margarita! Because then, Margaritaville and Melindaville could meet!-
Maybe with both you could enjoy a Cheeseburger in Paradise. Great Jimmy Buffet reference. I like your laid back attitude towards life.
-
-
A cabernet
-
Can't go wrong with a big, fat cab! Your blog must be smooth and mellow, with a lot of subtle complexities.
-
-
What's the best garnish for your drink/blog? A big slice of pineapple, or some muddled mint, maybe a Maraschino cherry?
-
I would be lemon vodka spritzer. A little sour but bubbly with a kick. No aftertaste.
-
Whiskey sours, Lynchburg lemonades and limoncellos all fall into the same good/tart category. The carbonation, however, takes it to a whole new level. Sounds like a refreshing drink/blog!
-
-
A roofie colada. Giggity giggity.-
I see. So sort of a Quagmire-esque blog. You must be a fan of "Family Guy."
-
Its not a "Family Guy" site (although I am fan).
Its more a site that violates your funny bone against your will. Thus the "roofie colada" refernce.
-
-
A Blood & Sand.
-
I've heard of Blood & Sands made with either tequila or Scotch whiskey. Which do you prefer?
-
-
Nosesplash is a tall glass of milk that you then shoot out your nose all over the kitchen table.-
Classic. So your blog is a beverage and recreational activity all rolled in one.
-
-
Black Coffee-
So your blog is hot yet invigorating; a pick me up, no doubt.
-
Same as mine, mostly for the Americana factor.
Is yours addictive with a strong aftertaste? A treat first thing in the morning?
-
-
I love your blog! I'm always looking to learn more about wine. So far, my vocabulary in regards to wine is limited to "That's good" and "More Please!" I added you to my blog roll!
-
Thanks! It's amazing how quickly you can pick up a solid background in wine with just a little reading/scrounging around on the Internet.
So what other beverages are all you bloggers, out there? What kind of drink best represents you and your blog?
-
-
Traditional Wassail (served in a wooden bowl, of course). Takes a lot of experience and skill to craft, requires a lot of work, hard to get used to, but keep sipping and over time it really packs a wallop!-
Sounds delicious. Do you have a wintery, holiday blog to match the drink? We could sing carols!
"Here we go a-blogging amongst the leaves so green..."
-
-
Ahh now,LaughingYogini is a bottle of my homemade elderberry wine - kinda like a cab sauv -- but with more spicy flavor. It's a natural antiviral and healer since it's loaded with antioxidents.
Goes down a little too easy though, so you may end up a bit giggly and off-balance.-
Sounds delicious. But who's to say I'm not already off balanced?
-
-
I'll have to say Diet Coke. Because that is usually what I'm drinking when I wrote my blog posts.
Refreshing, fizzy and fun!-
I always thought Superman would drink regular Coke. You're like invincible to everything but kryptonite. Are calories another superhero weakness?
-
-
Raspberry smoothie - it's pink, refreshing, and nourishing
Oha, and I'm allergic to strawberries so it can't be strawberry smoothie
-
I enjoy a smoothie from time to time. My favorite is the Triple Berry Blast from Orange Julius. (Yup, got to go to the mall food court to drink it). But I don't think you could have that one because it has strawberries
-
-
My blog is a good, old-fashioned cup of coffee. Preferably served at a truckstop diner. It's the classic drink of the American roadtrip!
theyellowbrickroadtrip.blogspot.com-
I, too, am a fan of the American road trip and divey diner. Nothing better than a greasy spoon breakfast, esp. after you've been camping and crave a great big hot meal. Would you drink your coffee black or with cream and sugar?
-
I have a friend with a theory that you can tell a person's perception of reality by how they take their coffee. Putting that aside for the moment, lots of cream and a dash of sugar. How about you?
-
Black!
-
-
Yeah mine is freeze-dried instant coffee, little too sweet maybe and with blobs in.-
Sounds like one interesting blog!
-
-
Mine is mineral water with lemon.-
Plain, pure and simple. Sounds great. I like just about everything lemon flavored, so long as it's a natural and not synthetic flavoring. I can always taste the difference.
