Trendy drinks now served at Silicon Valley bars

1. "Gimme an 'I.P.O.'"
   Pretty popular these days. Problem is that everyone is trying to get one, so the bar winds up a too crowded and no one notices their dates getting bored and leaving.

2. "How about a 'Bill Basher'?"
   A classic closet drink. Everyone buys a glass or two, but it gets poured into the potted plants if Mr. Gates shows up to 'chat'.

3. "'Packet Trace', please."
   Make that a double for one dollar more? Nerd.

4. "'Markup Language', blended."
   A drink no one knew about two years ago, and whaddya know, everyone's ordering one now.

5. "'Apple Basher'. With lemon."
   Like a 'Bill Basher', but it doesn't get poured out. Seems to be in style once every six months or so.

6. "'Java'."
   Forget it. The bartender will have to buy three books and call four other bars to figure out how to make one.
