I'll leave the "Cosmopolitan" story to you. :-)

Ahahahahaha! Well, I only know the front end of it - and I suppose it's one of
those "you had to be there" little stories, but....

So we're sitting at the bar in the Altmar Hotel (which is not a hotel, fwiw)
and a few seats away is the prototypical Buffy - the spitting image of Ali
MacGraw in "Love Story", with the perfect hair-do, fresh manicure, and
sporting the classic sweater look, right there in the midst of a bunch of
thoroughly unrefined appearing fishermen, in about as rude looking a bar
you'll find away from Skid Row (and with a particularly grim beer list, btw).

Just Bud in the can or on tap, and either way, only cowboy cold?

When she finally gains the attention of the swarthy female behind the bar,
Buffy says "I'll have a Cosmopolitan".

Conversations in the immediate vicinity came to an abrupt halt, and as I
waited for all hell to break loose, the barkeep lets out a snort, turns to
Buffy, and retorts "Not here you won't".

She shoulda ordered a pousse cafe...or a Martini...

I forgot what she ended up drinking - Joe might remember, I think it was some
kind of flavored vodka with something, all I remember was it sounded
nauseating.

"Flavored vodka?" Ain't that "gin?"

/daytripper (yeah, you had to be there ;-)

I wish I had been...if she really looked like Ali McGraw in "Love
Story," I'd have gone and gotten her some Ocean Spray myownself...

TC,
