I read it. You know what I took from it?

"I drank copious amounts of rum,"

There's a lesson there. And that lesson? Copious amounts of rum makes everything better.

And in that spirit*, here's my favorite rum cocktail.

CleverMaiTai

2 oz. Puerto Rican rum
0.5 oz. Grand Mariner
1 oz. fresh-squeezed lime juice
1 oz. orgeat syrup
0.5 oz. dark rum

Shake the first four ingredients with ice, strain into an ice-filled glass. Top with the dark rum, serve. You're supposed to garnish it with a cherry and a lime wedge or whatever, but I never bother.

*see what I did there?

And my favorite rum cocktail!

Snarf's Takin' Away the Pain of the OGL Discussions Cocktail

2.5 oz. good quality aged rum
4 oz. pineapple juice
1 oz. cream of coconut (NOT, repeat NOT coconut cream you heathen)
1 oz. orange juice
Nutmeg

1. Buy some rum. Some good rum. Tale of Two Islands? Facundo Paraiso? Whatever.
2. Okay, now take something else (Pusser's, something you serve guests) and pour it and the rest of the ingredients (except the nutmeg) and shake with ice.
3. Start sipping the good rum. Big, big sips .... but not quite gulps.
4. Hey! You have a cocktail! Down the hatch with that puppy. You forgot to grate the nutmeg, didn't you. No worries. You'll use that later.
5. Keep on keepin' on with that good rum. So good.
6. Hey, is that another bottle of good rum? Why yes it is. Yes. It. Is.
7. Look at all that nutmeg. Wonder what happens if I eat it all?
8. Thank me later, or not.

I actually put more weight in the hobby's lawyers than in armchair lawyers.

I don't drink much anymore but in my college days I was pretty (in)famous for my go-to drink:

Gradine's Peppermint Death

• One 12 oz can of Dr. Pepper
• 4 oz of 100-proof Peppermint Schnapps

One time a friend convinced me to try the same thing, except with grape soda and Jägermeister.





We're not friends anymore.

I do, too. What I meant by "hobby lawyers" was probably close to what you mean by "armchair lawyers," in that I was getting at people who treat the law as a hobby.

For a second, I was hoping there was some unit of lawyers that give time and effort to helping the small guys. Then, I realized you just meant folks with a passing interest.
