Oh, and the Americans invented one of these for home bars, called the...Cocktail-O-Matic. I have a picture of it in a book here somewheres.

Yes, raincoaster: your go-to archival source for all things drunkard and ettiquetary.

you don't understand the real hook this machine had. It's not that it could have spared you from talking to a typical bartender; it's that it could have spared you from talking to an English bartender.

It's all, "Chelsea bloody yayayayaya innit an den bloody council tax, Yeh, the bloody council tax, and..."

I'd tip them to shut up.

I think that contraption also had a microphone you could talk into, to tell how your wife didn't understand you.

@Hez: @valarmorghulis: True all that. But don't be surprised if next Friday night old bleachy is dispensing liquor out of her nipples for any spare change ole' eyepatchy can muster.

@BoHan: Aw, widdle Spiegs. He's probably deep into his third Hot Pocket and squarely pinned under the red boot of Johnnie W by now.

*Sigh* Oh, how I loved Horn and Hardart's automats. The food was so tasty, the options so plentiful, and the coin-operated dispensers showcased the food in such a mouth-watering way. Plus the whole place was so clean and futuristic.

Yes, I was but a wee lad when the last one was shuttered to make room for the real future, but the memory lingers sweetly on my synapses.

Did I just overshare?

This reminds me of how much I miss Enzo from Crescent and Vine. I just find myself wondering where he is, who he's with, what he's thinking, is he thinking of me?, and if he'll ever return one day...
