What good am I if I can’t even one-up my little brother?

January 27th, 2008

Remember how two entries ago I was all smug and said to my brother “ha-ha, I could drive when I was 16, you can’t drive for two more years you filthy Canadian” ?

Well, he sent me a facebook message and reminded me how at Christmas, Riki and I took him to Montreal, and we went into this divey sports-bar, and how we were the only people in the place, and oh - didn’t I remember that they served him alcohol? And it wasn’t just alcohol, it was tequila shots followed by 3 pitchers of beer, followed by drinking games. And then remember how at that other bar? In all his baby-faced glory, when the waiter said, “And howee a-booot yew?”  he casually, confidently, as if he’d had a drinking problem for 40-years, said “Yeah, I’ll have a Corona, bro.” (ok, he didn’t say bro, I just wish he did), and the next thing you know the socialist-jerk with bad facial hair brought him a Corona?

Yes. I remember.

Fine, Jacob. You win. Yes, drinking at 15 is cooler than driving at 16. Just don’t ever do them at the same time, promise me, your humbled big-sister that much.

Oh! and Amy and Simon - After talking it over with Riki a bit more, and since we’ll be in your neck-of-the-woods in August anyway, we decided, why not? Let’s make it an official problem:

#83) Visit Amy and Simon in Venezuela !

Hopefully it’s not too expensive to fly from Ecuador to Venezuela? At the very least, I’m sure we could find someone to pay us to take the trip if we just, you know, smuggle some drugs over or something.
