The kilted gents and lovely lasses have traditions galore regarding luck and the New Year that date back to Pagan times. One such tradition has to do with the first person to cross a house’s threshold after the clock strikes midnight. The luck of the entire year ahead is believed to be brought into the house with that first arrival. If the visitor bears gifts, the house will be prosperous. If he bears nothing....you get the gist. If we were to take a hint from the Scots, we would be smart to pay careful attention to the thresholds we cross as the ball drops at midnight. Someone’s entire future is resting in your hands. Consult our NYE Party Guide and pick your poison. –J.T. ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/James-Bond-Selects-Smirnoff-for-Casino-Royale-10134.html http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/James-Bond-Selects-Smirnoff-for-Casino-Royale-10134.html Wed, 08 Nov 2006 15:13:28 -0500 [CDATA[James Bond cracks open Smirnoff in the soon-to-open Casino Royale.

You don’t want to sell the city short so you’re going to take them to the hot-spots, risking jeopardizing your social status with a potentially un-cool scenario of culture shock. Quick!

But flair bartending is much more than that. In fact, Hollywood's rendition is so unrealistic that there are now t-shirts that state," I'm a bottle flip'n, shaker spin'n, glass toss'n bartender and my name is... NOT TOM.! Enough said?" ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Blue-Monday-3004.html http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Blue-Monday-3004.html [CDATA[I had sex with the brain; it was tangible and cogent, a stout wave cutter plying through foamy caps and undulating emotions.
