City at Night / Mischief / Last Night Grey Goose Bottle

Posted by Grant Brissey on Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 11:35 AM

I spotted this bottle on while walking through Ravenna today, which is near a lot of student housing, but also has a lot of restaurants and bars. The bottle was on an otherwise tidy sidewalk in front of a bunch particularly vulnerable-seeming establishments (restaurants, not used to catering to drunks and criminals). Since the bums are in too much a hurry to save for Grey Goose, and since it was placed there ever so carefully, as if someone has been sitting against the wall drinking it and crying. Or maybe sitting there celebrating. I have concocted three possible scenarios that led to this empty bottle on the sidewalk.

Just once, I'd like to meet a gruntled employee. I bet they're quite nice.

I'm voting stolen from a wedding bar at the end of the reception.

I'm voting stolen from the rents and presently containing 99.8% water.

I hope you took the bottle and placed it in your desk drawer.

I choose to believe there were tears.

This is a sign that Seattle Weekly's Asian stereotype has been visiting your neighborhood.

@4, the rest of this thread should be spent praising you for that comment.

Grey Goose is a construct of marketing, and is pure crap.

But a delicately-rendered small-batch vodka can have just as much subtlety and personality as any other kind of spirit (see: Interbay's Sound Spirits).

For every lousy vodka, I'll show you a celebrated gin using mountains of juniper to overwhelm its impurities.

But Fnarf is little more than a sycophant-magnet at this point, so never mind.
