The Sedated Pirate
2001-02-17 01:09:24
Last week I had eye surgery and it was certainly one of the least enjoyable episodes of my life. Eye Surgeons like their patients to be conscious enough so that they can move their eyes to the proper position during surgery.
Unfortunately, having the anesthesiologist keep you in a state that permits that much muscular control means that you can see all those very sharp instruments before, during and after they slice, scrape or stitch your cornea.
There wasn't a lot of pain right after the operation, as they had used local anesthetic to numb the eye, but in post-op it was clear that I was in for some massive pain as my nerves began to once again function as designed. After enough whining and whimpering I was rewarded with a large bottle of vicodin. I was wheeled out of post-op fuzzyheaded, with an eye patch covering my poor abused peeper, clutching a bag of drugs.
After spending most of the afternoon recovering from the operation it was clear that the pain was gonna be serious. The last time I'd been in a situation like this was on the infamous Pigdog Road Trip to Vegas. My arm was in a cast due to some infection in my elbow and after Mr. Bad took over the driving duties, I collapsed in the back of the van and attempted to self-medicate myself with vicodin and Bud Lite. I was successful. Somewhere near Barstow we stopped to pee and buy more beer and I danced out of the van uttering "Tjames, you're so pretty they should put your head in a box". If you've ever seen Tjames, you know I was out of my mind.
This time I was determined to be more rigorous in my research and report my findings back to the scientific community. After several early evening misses, I finally hit on a recipe that lives up to lofty standards of Spock Mountain Research Labs. Since I looked like I was ready to board and loot a Spanish treasure galleon with my eye patch and was barely able to move, I named the drink The Sedated Pirate.
Ingredients:
- 3 shots (1 1/2 oz) vodka
- 6 oz club soda
- 1 200 mg vicodin tablet
- 1/2 a lime
- 1 eye patch
- ice
optional garnish:
- 1 peg leg
- 1 hook claw
Mix the vodka and soda in a huge glass filled with ice. Squeeze in the lime. Chase the vicodin tablet with the vodka.
After two Sedated Pirates you can safely amputate your hand or leg without pain and apply the optional garnishes. This, however, is not recommended by the Pigdog Journal and we assume no liability for you being such a jackass .
If you plan to have three Sedated Pirates, before you start you should duct tape a picture id, your HMO card and a major credit card to your body. That way, when the police find you naked and lying in the gutter, babbling nonsense, they know which hospital emergency room to take you to.

Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide.

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
