Ask the Bag Man: Wild Irish Rose, Rocks!!

Some of you may have never seen my advice column that I do occasionally, called, Ask the Bag Man.

I answer questions about Bagwine in general, and Wild Irish Rose, in particular. Here is yet another installment.

If you'd like to read the previous issues, click HERE.

Dear Bag Man,

I looooove Wild Irish Rose, but sometimes after drinking a little too much of it, I have problems getting it up.
It has led to some frustration between my lady and I. Any suggestions? And no, NOT drinking Rose is not an option.

Cheers,

Dear Limp,

First of all, I would never recommend that anyone stop drinking the Queen of Bagwines, and I have confronted this same situation (haven’t I, Schmoop?).

You, my flaccid friend, have several options.

You can switch from the Red Rose to the Wild Fruit. It contains ginseng. You can add crushed Viagra to your Rose, making it what I call, a Bagwine Spits-Her.

If those fail you, there is the nuclear option. Just put some Aquadots (call me, I have a supplier) into your lady’s pre-coital meal.

When ingested, those recalled play beads act just like Ecstasy. She’ll pass out, and you can spend the night drinking yourself into Rose-Blivion.

The next morning, bring her breakfast in bed, and tell her how great the four hour sex session was. She’ll not remember a thing and be too embarrassed to disagree. Cheers!!


Dear Bag Man,

If I start drinking Wild Irish Rose, is it possible that I could become as uber-cool as you?

Dear Nerdy,

Highly improbable. Oh sure, the wondrous effects may add a little charm to your personality, but being as cool as I, is a gift given to me by the Almighty.

WIR is a powerful and magical mistress, but even she has limits as to what she can do.

And I caution you, if you are an asshole or a prick to begin with, Rose will only help to illuminate that; more often than not, in public places.

She may be a kind lady, but she can also be a wicked and fickle, female of fermented flagitiousness.

Tread carefully, my friend of the Twelve Tribes, tread carefully. Cheers!!



Dear Bag Man,

Have you ever cooked with Wild Irish Rose?

Cheers,

Dear Rachel,

I cook with WIR nearly everyday. Not in the sense that I put it into my recipes, but rather, I drink it as I cook.

My culinary skills are at their peak after I have had a few glasses of Rose. It has inspired in me, the creativity to produce amazingly nouveau dishes.

One Saturday night during a Wild Irish Rose fest, I made a full course meal that was out of this world.

For an appetizer, I dipped olives into a batter made from flour, buttermilk and horseradish and deep-fried them in a skillet of hot Gatorade.

They were delicious, however, I did break three teeth because I forgot that the olives had pits. Due to the WIR, I could neither feel nor hear the enamel shattering.

The salad was made from fescue harvested from the backyard, sardines and topped with a dressing of ketchup, and okra that I had mashed with a rolling pin.

The main course consisted of a Donatos Serious Meat Pizza. Hey, I can’t do all the work!!

For dessert, I prepared a scrumptious pudding made out of Split Pea soup, raisins, cinnamon, and Hall’s Cherry Cough Drops. Yum-Oh!!

I hope my story inspires you to cook while drinking WIR as well. Cheers!!


That’s it for today folks. I won’t be around much today, because I am off to see the little guy, and then to work tonight.

Have a lovely Tuesday…

Cheers!!

Ugh. Just crawled out of my sick bed to check in, and this made me even more nauseated.

Good thing you're so uber cool; otherwise, I'd hurl all over the computer.

Schmoop said...

Songbird: Oh I don't know....Has the makings of a tasty stew. Cheers!!

desert rat said...

Hmmm... now that I'm back from polishing off a growler of Silver City Brewery's finest offerings with the neighbors, I'm thinking I might need to whip up a sweet pickle, buffalo mozzarella, orange juice and maple syrup omelette.

Schmoop said...

Desert Rat: You have such alcohol induced culinary panache. Let's get together and do a cooking show. Cheers Rat!!

desert rat said...

Dude, isn't it like way late in Bagwine? Do you ever sleep?

Schmoop said...

Desert Rat: Ha. I'm going to bed soon. But thanks, for caring. Cheers Rat!!

Dana said...

She may be a kind lady, but she can also be a wicked and fickle, female of fermented flagitiousness.

I think WIR has a human counterpart ... or several hundred! *wink*

Lu' said...

First pic, Carlinesque; cool. That food looks like something one might pic off rather than eat :)

Schmoop said...

Dana: I think yo uare correct and at least a couple of them commented on your blog Sunday. Cheers!!

Lu: Ha. Carlinesque, eh? I guess I'll add "topical" to my resume. Cheers Lu!!

"Hugeass, NY" made me spit my diet coke on the computer screen. I'm billing you for cleanup charges.

Odat said...

So Bagwine makes things that aren't so good, good?
Hmmm.

Peace

Schmoop said...

Lady Jaye: A thousand pardons my dear. Cheers LJ!!

Odat: As I like to say, "Reality goes better with Bagwine." Cheers!!

Anndi said...

I thought the same thing as Lu... I love my recovering Irish catholic men.

Your culinary skills disturb me... and most every stomach I expect.

Dianne said...

You did cook that all up in 30 minutes, right!?

I wanted to be named WIR but my parents sucked.

Schmoop said...

Anndi: Keep in mind, when drinking WIR, food takes on a whole new flavor. Cheers!!

Dianne: Damn Parents. It could have been less than thirty minutes, but then again it could have been more than three hours...it was all kind of a blur. Cheers Di!!

RW said...

Ah Wild Irish Rose... ranks right up there with my other favorites Mogone David, Mad Dog 20/20 (40/40 on a real blitszed day) and dare I say... Thunder Bird.

Thunder Bird which is still $1.05 a bottle, from my first drunk 22 years ago and I am still suffering from that hangover, ooh my head.

leelee said...

I'm thinking that WIR contributed to the writing of this post..

HUGS!

Schmoop said...

Roger: While I appreciate the nuances of all Bagwines, those all pale in comparison to beauty that is WIR. Cheers!!

Leelee: WIR has contributed to damn near EVERY post. Cheers, cuite!!

Real Live Lesbian said...

I am dying to have your cookbook! When's it coming out? Will you partner with RR?

Phfrankie Bondo said...

Rachel Ray
Hugeass, New York.......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop It!!!!! You're killin' me ovah heah!!!!!!!!!!

Schmoop said...

RLL: The only thing I would partner with RR with is if we were sacrificing her to the God of the Annoying. Cheers!!

Phfrankie: Ha. That one actually made Schmoop laugh, and she doesn't typically find me funny. We both loathe her. Cheers P-Man!!

Leighann said...

She may be a kind lady, but she can also be a wicked and fickle, female of fermented flagitiousness.

You described me to a 'T'.... thanks for the shoutout!

Schmoop said...

Leighann: Well, blow me down. I guess I did. And you're welcome. Cheers Leighann!!

Lex Valentine said...

Mmmmn. Meat pizza. I get all shivery when you talk meat.

Schmoop said...

Winter: Really?...MEAT MEAT MEAT MEAT!! Cheers, Winter!!

Ed & Jeanne said...

Funny...that food photo looks just like the cup of milk that got left out while I was on vacation.

Schmoop said...

VE: Ha. Glad you're back. Looks aside, did the spoiled milk taste good? Cheers!!

Kimmie said...

Hugeass, NY...Good one! Hope you have a great day with little man.
:-)

Schmoop said...

Kimmie: Thanks. And yes, we will have a lovely time. Cheers!!

Jay said...

I'm trying to decided how much WIR you would need to drink to agree to a three-way with Rachael Ray and Michelle Malkin. Probably not as much as you would pretend it would.

Cheesy said...

Sorry my luv.. you lost me at *okra*

Schmoop said...

Jay: Ha. You suck. ; ) Okay, maybe if I was drunk and RR had a ball gag in her mouth I could do her. But there is not enough Rose in the world to have sex with Malkin. Cheers!!

Cheesy: Okra is not Okay with you? But, it's dee-lish. Cheers Cheesy!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Yeah I am done eating now :P

Oh and FYI Rachel has moved from Hugeass to Bouttobedumped ;)

Cinnamon Girl said...

Oh and Okra is nothing more than a fuzzy slug masquerading as a veggie :P

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

Dear Mr. Bagman...Please take the WIR out of the bag and cover your head with it. That and the site of the food you prepared have caused me to give up cooking forever.

Sincerely,

Beth said...

So that's how all this crazy shit happens that I am not aware of...that's wacked dude!!

Marilyn said...

Did you go t cooking school to learn that?

Knight said...

Could I please have some AquaDots?

Schmoop said...

Starr: Man, I can't imagine why anybody would dump her. Cheers you okra fan, you!!

Mario: Lose the sandals, and and work a salad in from time to time. Cheers, Matt-Man!!

Schmoop: I guess I let the cat out of the bag, didn't I? Note to self: Develop new technique. Cheers My Schmoopie!!

Schmoop said...

Marilyn: No. I am proud to tell you that I learnt it all on my own. Cheers!!

Knight: Ooooooo, anytime you want, Knight. Cheers!!

Liz Hill said...

LMAO@ Schmoop!!

Schmoop said...

TB: Don't encourage her, dammit. Cheers TB!!

Dear Bag Man,

I cannot stand Wild Irish Rose. Even its smell makes me nauseated. If the angels serve it in Heaven, you may have my share. (In case we end up in Hell, I do not know what to do 'cause I am sure the shit flows from the water fountains).

Jeff B said...

"I am off to see the little guy"

I'm assuming this means you pretty much spent the better part of your day in the bathroom?

Schmoop said...

Dixie: It's the Nectar of the Gods. Cheers Dixie!!

Nick: While I do disagree, that was pretty damn funny. Cheers!!

Jeff: I knew someone would say something along those lines, and I was pretty sure it would be you. Cheers!!

Travis Cody said...

It must be an awful lot of pressure to know that there are guys out there trying to emulate your coolness.

Schmoop said...

Travis: We all have our crosses to bear. Cheers Travis!!
