Some people take their martinis *way* too seriously. He posts a
"recipe" for a pineapple martini, and *you* know that isn't a martini,
and *I* know it isn't either. We post our alternative opinions. I'm
done with it. He still wants to call it a martini, I have no problem.
He wants to call it "meatloaf"? I'll call him on it. After that, not
my problem.

So say I go to this guy's house. He wants to serve me a meatloaf.
What's in the meatloaf? Fresh pineapple, vanilla beans and booze.
Aged, so the vanilla beans and pineapple release their flavors. I'll
take two, thanks. Extra pineapple please. I just *love* fresh
pineapple.
