Drinking to The Endgame: An Avengers Special (Part 1)

I am proud to be part of a family full of geeks, with a circle of friends who are just as geeky. My husband is heavily into sci-fi/fantasy and could state events (and quotes) from any MCU, DC, Star Trek, Star Wars, GoT, and LOTR film/episode at the drop of a hat. My sister is the queen of pop culture and reads fan fic for fun. Our friends are into anime, video games, board games, and cult classic horror films. I am considered the odd one out for attending drink events, but I’m still one to geek out on international culture, languages, history, music, drink facts, and occasionally, calculus (like a bloody madwoman).

Having said that, April 2019 is (naturally) a red-letter month for us. Game of Thrones returned for its 8^th and final season (there is a mandate in our house that NOBODY is allowed to disturb me from 9:00-10:00am Manila time every Monday until the season is over), Star Wars Episode IX’s trailer came out (sniffs), and…

AVENGERS ENDGAME.

As with the mental meltdown of 2017’s GoT finale, nobody in our house is making any attempt at productivity, including myself (eheh). Our conversations have been filled with endless theories on what happened after the iconic movie snap that supposedly obliterated half the world’s population.

On Chianti and Cannibals

One thing people have to understand about my older brother, my sister, and I (and my younger brother, who I used to watch horror movies with as a Christmas countdown) is that we share a strange, weird, occasionally sadistic sense of humour.

As I write this, I just came out of a conversation between our friends (my sister included) about how to properly shoot someone, which involves a “head” shot (on the “other” head, obviously), elbow shots, blowing out kneecaps, and ending it all with a shot to the torso… Never forgetting to double tap, of course. After all, as she put it, why give him the easy way out?

For the record, none of us has actually killed someone (not that I know of, at least… Although my sister’s intimate knowledge on the use of lye in disposing bodies can leave people wondering).

People reading this article must be wondering what on earth possessed me to start a drink article this way.

Let me explain.
