Jrc1963, this is SI's Official Virtual Dive Bar. Otherwise known as O'Stereotypes.
You can get out of your skull on whatever virtual tipple you fancy, get all random and let it all hang out.
You could even have a go on the mechanical bull if the place had one. The proprietors couldn't afford one and that's why there's a very confused male Hereford in a pen over there by the bathrooms.
You'll also note that there are three bathrooms - 'Menz', 'Wimmenz' and 'Undecidedz'.
It's a bit of a strange place.
Actually, it's really strange. But it's local......

Oh man, last time I came to O'Stereotypes, I wandered away without even drinking anything. I get so distracted sometimes.
Mimosa for me, since it's morning here!

So, since you ladies are up, I'll tell you about my weekend plans and ask your advice. 
I'm having 11 people over for brunch on Sunday, so I went shopping this morning... Except I live in a developing country, so there's no Whole Foods and no Walmart and no supermarket. I went to one store for dairy and eggs, another for produce, a new bakery that just opened, and one more store for a bottle of champagne to make mimosas. Took a couple hours, but I got everything on the list, which doesn't always happen.
So, I'm planning to make egg bake peppers (bell peppers stuffed with potatoes, eggs, cheese like an egg bake), shakshuka with crusty bread from the bakery, bacon, and fruit and yogurt smoothies. Then I want to do a baked good - should I do cinnamon rolls, monkey bread, or scones?

Hey AMA,
Sorry you didn't get a response on your question. I just want to say that those egg bake peppers sound really good. I may need to try that some day.

Scones it is. I haven't used my food processor in far too long; this will be a good reason to break it out.
I spent tonight drinking Newcastle by the pool. Perfect. I'd say we should open an O'Stereotypes pool, but I'm not sure we have room for three locker rooms...

Sorry; after my beer, I went to bed and didn't wake up till 9:30am (I hate working nights )
I would have voted for monkey bread because it's easier, but you probably don't have access to pre-made bread dough--so, scones it is!
Have fun--it sounds like a wonderful spread

I drink rum - Captain 100 proof and diet coke.
But tonight I'd like a dirty Beefeater martini please.
Me - happy!

I'll be grabbing a beer shortly with my canine friend. In the meantime, here is that dirty martini:

Oh!!! I just found this place. Think I'm really going to like it here. Mind if I pull up a barstool? That picture of a dirty martini looks fantastic. I'd like mine the same way my fellow MA resident likes hers. Beefeater please. Very dry. Just wave the bottle at it.
I also see there are some fellow scotch/whisk(e)y drinkers here. I'll dig up something special later and stock the bar with it. I do like to share.
Is O'Stereotypes dog friendly? Get my new pup next week and would like to bring him sometime if I could. Loved walking into some pubs over in the UK and seeing the occasional dog hanging out too... Understood though if this is not that type of establishment.
