Admiral Fubar continued

An update on Admiral Fubar…So the Admiral finally lands a date by testing the waters with a girl “You wanna go get some coffee, ice cream, hot chocolate –?”

“Coffee would be great.” She says.

The admiral thinks “Sweet! Then she’s not a hardcore Mormon! Awesome.”

They go to the coffee shop where Admiral Fubar had his Fubar experience not being able to remember the name Amaretto, and walked away with a triple Americano. Read that story here.

She orders a Latte, and he walks up and proudly blurts out. “I’ll have an Amaretto!”

Now I can easily see how his chest would puff up and his shoulders pull back with pride that THIS time he remembered the name only to be crushed when the barista coolly says, “Dude, Amaretto is a syrup.  What drink do you want your syrup in?”

Now, try as I might I’ve been unsuccessful in the coaching of my youngest brother in the ways of the dark side.  Young skywalker, did the next best thing. “I’ll have what she’s having.”

He might not have been able to order a drink like a savvy pro, but he did okay.  An Amaretto latte is a great drink, but still being unaccustomed to regular caffeine, I suspect he was, how shall I say – very energetic on his date.

I suspect that as soon as Admiral Fubar reads this post – I’ll be hearing the phone ring and getting my ass trounced, but I just thought all you readers would like to know – the corruption of my baby brother is coming along fabulously.  He’ll be a trouble maker in no time. First coffee, then world domination.
