Most bars here think that Coke belongs in a Black Russian. I think because it makes for a longer drink and therefore takes longer to drink, meaning a few rounds are less likely to end in puke or violence?

I've even seen Tia Maria, vodka and Coke described as a Black Russian. Sigh.

I remember taking my Mum and sister (blimey - so we did used to get on just a little bit!) to Freud's in Oxford back in the early '90s. Gorgeous place - old chapel. I bought us cocktails, and ordered a B52 for myself. The waitress said, very kindly, "This is a short cocktail you know." It was okay, I knew, but sweet of her to worry that I was envy the other two's long, fizzy, umbrella decorated drinks.

Oh, and I almost forgot the Scotch Aggravation, i.e. a White Russian made with Scotch.

So, we've strayed from grammatical errors to drinks? Hehe...

I think from now on, I will run a grammar and spelling check on all my posts before submitting. :p Just kidding, I am too lazy for that.

Y'all seem like a polite bunch. Y'all would sit there and be annoyed but won't poke me out, I hope.
