I don't care what any of these eggheads say about estrogenic whatzahoozits. I'm willing to sing soprano and have a huge quivering hairy vagina in the middle of my chest if it means I get to have JUSTONE MORE GODDAMN BEER. -- Mr. Bad
Another delicioso Spocktail from the grumbling belly of
Spock Mountain Research Labs/Beverage Technology division!
Go Spock-o! Go Spock-o! Get busy now! Go Spock-o!
This week's Spocktail of the Week is based on the wonderfully bitter and
horrible wine, the
beaujolais nouveau! The beaujolais nouveau (BOO-zho-lay NOO-voh) is the new
wine from the Beaujolais region of French. Like all young wines, it is
ill-tempered and disrespectful; like everything French, it is highly decadent
and dismissive.
Also, since the wine comes out in November, by March (now) it's cheap as all
hell, marked down to practically NOTHING on the discount shelves. A fine wine
for everyone! A fine wine for SPOCKTAILS!
Our spocktail of the week, the BOOJ! There It Is, has the same
in-your-ass attitude of beaujolais nouveau, with a funky twist. The crabby
flavors of beaujolais nouveau, mixed with the ice-pick brainsplitting Absolut
and the sickly-sweet Cointreau make for a bounty of feverish fun.
I like to mix up a big batch of BOOJ! There It Is's when I've got to do some
power-brokering between rival Chinese street gangs. The crazy flavors of BOOJ!
There It Is make the stiff-haired huang chei mellow out for long enough
that we can lay out a map on the table and divide up the ha
(neighborhoods) with a Sharpie pen without somebody getting a dragon-handled
switchblade through the back of their hand.
And beaujolais to that!
