My sentiments exactly. i wonder how many of these trend riders actually do any part in being environmentally friendly.

Eco-friendly? Lots of boilermakers go to the Bridgeport Inn on Archer after union meetings. Those guys build anti-pollution devices on powerhouses and refineries and are very eco-friendly in a practical sort of way. Go in there have a shot of VO and an Old Style and strike up a conversation.

I have been getting emails from this "green" company and they have all these networking events at eco-friendly bars. I had never heard of them before, but I guess they make their drinks with eco-friendly vodka. IDK

What in the name of Holy Christ Our Lord is "eco-friendly" vodka, other than a fine example of the incurable silliness I was referring to earlier?

So I looked up the eco-friendly vodka thing - apparently it's made by McCormick (the fine company who sells those $10 handles of rubbing-alcohol-pretending-to-be-vodka in the plastic jugs)

and it's just the bottle (85% recycled glass) and the label that are eco-friendly apparently.

I take it that "winding road" is aptly named the Hershey Highway?
