I gotta serious case of flask envy going on, and I don't even drink! As an engraver, personalizing a hip flask for a customer is pretty common. Usually they are groomsman's gifts, other times it is an overzealous frat boy or the like. Most of them are 5 to 8 ounces. This one is 64! Half a flamin' gallon! Never seen anything like it. And I shudder to think what kind of hip it is intended to accompany...

Fighting temptation to mention one of Spinal Tap's biggest hits.
ReplyDeleteThat is one big dang flask! I don't drink, too, but gaaah, that would hold a lot of Dr Pepper, and you'd look like a REAL freakin' Dr swiggin' from THAT monster!
ReplyDeleteWhew...I have flask envy now, as well, also!
Fee Fi Fo Flask?
ReplyDeleteBig canvas to work with, no?
ReplyDeleteAlso, alcoholism for the win.
Not a drinker, eh Inno? You must have flunked "Drunkeness 101" at OSU, a core requirement in Corvallis, since there's nothing else to do there except drink and get rained on.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, this flask was designed for Michelle Obama's right haunch. A haunch, of which could feed a battalion of Marines for three weeks if they were ever stranded for the winter on the Donner Pass.
Gordon - give in to the dark side
ReplyDeleteaA - Dr. Pepper also gives me bazooka belches that rattle windows. Win/win.
Six - I smell the blood of a drunken fool!
KS - No kidding! Too bad they only want three initials on it. They should unbind their wallet and let me go nuts on it with an engraving of a frat guy puking over a handrail.
Fredd - Let's not confuse "I don't even drink" with "I've never been drunk." Done plenty of it. I aced 101 and was in contention for a Rhodes (or is it Blows?) Scholarship for Advanced Boozing. Which is why I haven't messed with the stuff since '99.
Um...actually, that's not a flask. It's a fuel tank.
ReplyDeleteA grateful nation thanks you for resisting temptation.
ReplyDeleteI had a flask like that. Very hard to hide under my jacket at work. People kept asking me if it was a tumor and I said, wait for it.......wait for it.....
ReplyDeleteIT's NOT A TUMOR!(pronounced Tuuuu-Mah.)
A frigging fuel tank...LOL Max. Although it is about the right size to look normal on Mooch's a$$.
ReplyDeleteThat flask on Shelly's hip would be as a pebble is to Rainier. Or Hood.
ReplyDelete(Note the Pac-NW analogy)
WOW, that would hold an extra large bottle of Beefeater ... I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteInno, I'm curious what 3 initials are go be engraved. I'm sure that's probably engraver/customer privilege or something, but something shot through my mind.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking, well...I'd better not type it out, this being a family friendly glob and all.
Heh! Word verification: liteduck
Nyuk...
MAX - Is it 100 octane or 100 proof?
ReplyDeleteMoogie - I should get a medal
Infidel - Looks like you need a bigger jacket to hide the too-mah
Randy - Wide angle lens required
Buck - Extra points for NW reference. More extra points for not making a Mount St. Helens ref.
Odie - Guess I know what to get ya for x-mas
Andy - Initials were RCD. Or was it RDC. Can't remember. He wanted Old English but I actually used Wedding Text as it has nicer capitals. Too bad his name was David U. Irving or something like that.
