How I Met Your Mother - The Hot Bartender

mother

Tonight was the 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother. The episode was titled, “Girls vs. Suits.” Barney, (the always splendid Neil Patrick Harris) plays the charming womanizer that lists off all the women he has conquered except for one…a hot female bartender (played by Stacy Keibler). I love Neil Patrick Harris! From what I’ve seen he’s very smart and witty and I didn’t even know he could sing! Anyway,  yeah, yeah, he’s a gay man in real life, but he plays the best hetro man I know that creates a likable a character who could be a real jerk played by another actor. Basically, in the plot, the hot bartender hates men in suits and Barney wears nothing but suits. There’s a whole musical number as well. Loved it!

Happy New Year all! I have to be honest, as a kid I truly believed that this magical year was THE year I’d be living the Jetsons life. Remember the Jetsons? Meet George Jetson.  Jane his wife…loved that cartoon.

I don’t know what will happen in 2010, but I do know what happened 100 years ago. We’ve come a long way, baby. Or have we?

1910

1910 First in-flight cocktails are served to paying passengers on the Zeppelin flying over Germany.
1910 J&B blended Scotch whisky is introduced.
1910 Prohibition for Canberra, Australia begins.

1910 Mount Gay Eclipse Rum from Barbados is named after an eclipse of the same year.
1910 Britain’s first cocktail bar, the Criterion in Piccadilly Circus opens.
1910 Bacardi opens a facility in Barcelona, Spain.

19103

And, if you go back only 50 years then here are three things that happened.

1960 Happy Hour becomes a common term.
1960
The first Playboy Club opens at 116 East Walton in Chicago and becomes the busiest bar in the world, often serving 1400 guests a day. Cocktails cost $1.50.

Wishing you a bright 2010!
