it comes in pints?

Uh, you wanna provide any details, Keemosabee?

Oh...is this a contest? Are we supposed to guess?

I'm gonna say Dan Ackroyd, because that's the first name I just happened to pull out of the ether.

Uh, if you absolutely, positively need to know.

I still don't know what a "limoncello" is (heard it on the radio, it's in the yahoo story too).

yeah, I just went on yahoo! entertainment (now I feel dirty...) to find out for sure.

There's gotta be something that can be done with this - a drinking game or a BDS bingo card or something....I'd like to see people at least have a shot at some lovely parting gifts if they have to sit and listen to people let all their crap hang out on tv.

I'm guessing a limoncello is some kind of a mixed drink, judging from context. It's probably one of them there fancy Hollywood things the hoi polloi hear about but never get a taste of, because it's made from some rare species of fruit that only the celebrities are "good enough" to consume.

The video is available on Hot Air.

Thanks for the link Jeff.

Anti-Bush tirades are sooooo 2004. I never really liked the dude myself, but I have to say, the one thing about Bush that impresses me is that he manages to piss off a lot of stupid people.

From Wikipedia, this is limoncello, ricki. It's a liquer.

"Limoncello is common in Italy but has only recently become popular in other parts of the world."

No doubt, this is why DeVito dropped the name. It's cool.

Public drunks can be both amusing and annoying. But most of the time, I just want to throw them into a locked room. Having been one myself a time or two, I can say that. ;-P

He got drunk on a liquer?? Christ, I feel like throwing up just thinking about that.

Oh, and public drunks haven't been amusing since Foster Brooks.

Oh, criminy. Ken, you just reminded me of the late lamented Crazy Guy, one of the tenants in our building a few years back, who used to get smashed on DeKuyper's Peach Schnapps. It was a hellacious mess when it came back up, too.

Later I found out why that was his rope of choice for tying one on. I was picking up a little something tasty for a party and went to a different package store. Eye level, on the shelf nearest the door? Bingo. Literally, the guy could take two steps, grab, pivot, take another step, pay, and be out the door before the frost melted on his snow cap (which he stole from me, BTW). It was hilarious and pathetic all at once.

I was picking up a little something tasty for a party...

You'd better hope Ladybug doesn't mosey over here and read that or you got some 'splaining to do.

Ken:

I don't drink and haven't ever really been a drinker (other than a rare glass of wine), but the thought of a guy getting drunk on a liquer makes ME want to throw up, too.

I suppose we can take some shameful joy in thinking about how he felt the next day.

I like some liquers (like amaretto) but I just can't imagine drinking enough to get drunk. Southern Comfort is bad enough, like swigging syrup, and it's something like 40 proof or more.

Limoncello is not cool. It's disgusting. Especially if it's not cool.

Sugar and alcohol don't mix.

If hollywood really needs to a nausiating drink to prove how cool they are to eachother, they should drink that nasty Rose flavored syrupy stuff out of that perfumery in Florence. Hah! I bet they don't even know about it. How quaint.

When I drink (rarely, these days), it's not a liquer. Although I used to be fond of an occasional Kahlua mix, liquers are bleah!!

I figure DeVito did liquer shots to impress his friends, and then (still playing the stupid drunk to the hilt) bragged about it on the boob tube.

Me, I would have been barfing after the third shot. Ugh!

BTW, Emily, I complete agree with you on "The Royal Question", even if I did have to post on a different thread!

:-D

Oh, and public drunks haven't been amusing since Foster Brooks.

Well, that dates me, huh? :-/

Me too.

Well, I guess me too, I remember him.

one of the Chicago radio hosts used to play a horrible but funny (1960s?) recording of Brooks - playing the drunk - talking about boating safety. Hilarious, but kind of one of those things that you now say, "I'm going to hell for laughing at this" given what we know about alcohol and boating not mixing (at least if you are the skipper).

Who is Foster Brooks?

How come I don't have any friends my age?

Maybe it isn't just a hip Italian thing, maybe it's just the socialist-italian thing and drinking lemonchello is like being friends with dorothy.

Oh shit, did I just call hollywood a bunch of pinko-commies?

Aaron,
It's okay to call Hollywood a bunch of pinko-commies. It's just not okay to *ask* them if they're pinko-commies.

My happiness is entirely dependent on whether or not "Wills" proposes. I scour the news each day for news of the blessed event.

What's a "Wills"?

Well, I went googling for Foster Brooks, to answer aaron's question, and found this.

foster brooks was a hoot.

Dang.

And here am I with a bottle in the fridge: Ice-cold limoncello and a batch of almond cookies is just about the perfect desert. It's even more perfect with, say, Orvieto around it, but that's life. Travel's a bitch these days and costs the earth.

Don't let the Hollywood imbeciles spoil the fun: the stuff is excellent in its place.
