overview for oleorun

I was being jaunty, much like the dude who dared place in the driving lane outside of the Embassy Suites. Never saw a Chicago tow truck move in like that.

What was your first alcoholic drink with friends? in c/askuk@feddit.uk

[–] oleorun 3 points 3 days ago (4 children)

US Army, winter 1996. Just got onto base, pretty fresh from BASIC. I open my barracks door and McBride (RIP brother) says "Here, drink this!" with his devlish grin, blocking my entry and holding a shot glass of some clear liquid. 18-year-old private me swigged it down and nearly choked on the shot.

"WTF is this?", I asked, gasping and choking.

"Everclear!" he said joyfully, moving away from the door while I gagged, challenge completed.

I passed his...test?... and I was in the friend group.

My family spent three days in your wonderful city. We did the touristy things, kept the hotel window open ("Chicago Fire, Med, and PD are all live right now!" I exclaimed to my wife as the 5th fire engine of the early, early morning sang its equally-weary song. She was not amused.)

The Shedd is still under construction, the Museum of Science and Industry is amazing, the Bean/Cloud Gateway is shiny, and Rossi's is my new favorite dive bar.

Thank you, Chicago, for the trains and the easy walking. Uber drivers - you guys and gals and non-gendered folks are simply the best at getting through a congested city while showing almost no stress. You are machines. My love and all the custom $10 tips.
