Faking Bad Update

This one is now part of a retail display at a local store:

Margarita Time!

More of my "objets de plastiques" here.

"Plastics" was what Dustin Hoffman was told in The Graduate. You need a manufacturer and marketer. Any smoke in your house, dude? I see they evacuated LEGOLAND. A woman we know in Carlsbad is ready to go. She has her bags packed and posted some nearby shots of flames on her Facebook.

I'm having day jah voux all over the place up in here. That looks remarkably like a margarita wot I just made for myself a few days ago. A real one. Except I didn't have Cointreau so I used Grand Marnier instead which I have quite a lot of around here due to babes I know liking the stuff. And it tasted like CRAP!

So I added one part simple sugar and got drunk as h-e-double swivel sticks. Honestly, that's all it took, two oz. of booze and I'm out like a light.

The kind of light that goes on/off.

That was me.

Cointreau beats Grand Marnier in a margarita and is slightly cheaper.

Once, in a fit of pique motivated by paying too high prices for Cointreau, I arranged a blind taste test of orange liqueurs including Cointreau, Gran Marnier, and various triple secs with 4 people. Survey said Cointreau hands down. But that's just a preference for the liqueur alone. When you going mixing it, the differences disappear.

I was counting on the earlier explanation about how ice alters the taste of alcohol to change it from disgusting to tolerable but it didn't work.

But I keep trying. I would like to join the world of altered consciousness. I guess I'll just have to stick with whirling dervishes until I collapse for that spinning feeling.
