So, you made that up, right?

Obviously.  It had no mention of tequila.  Though, I choose to believe that was what he left behind in the hotel.

It's going to be a long might, I have already surpassed my quota of likes. In Canada I think you get 30% more likes for the dollar than here?

I have to be pretty close myself.  Probably a good thing that I won't be on the thread tonight.

I was born on Friday the 13th.  After I was born a huge storm and some tornadoes blew through town.  For a minute my mom thought she had birthed Damien.

What, since then, has convinced your mother otherwise?

It's still a thing! Nice! Went on this ride numerous times when our family went to Disney World. 

 

I went to Disney World

 

Don't remember going on any rides. But I remember waiting in line for rides.

I remember going to hell once there.  I waited in line, hopped in this boat thing and it took us around these dimly lit tunnels full of singing children.  The song is so intoxicating, it gets stuck in your head for months.  Worst experience of my life.

Drink the tequila first.

Speaking of tequila.....my sister has margarita glasses she has never used. Apparently I am making margaritas tonight, which could make for a long morning of working from her place before we drive for hours......Moderation, must remember moderation. And water...lots of water.

You want a twist to the margaritas try this ... fill the glasses half full with margaritas, then top off with prosecco. And make the margaritas using cointreau instead of triple sec. I guarantee a tasty, good time!

The prosecco's a good call. But, here's another one: IPA. Not even joking. Give it a little splash. 

[Mike Sixel]

 

It's also genetics.  Cannot say I've ever had one, and not for a lack of trying...

 

Oh, but according to my former employer, and field tested by my wife, pedialite is an excellent hangover cure/preventative measure.

 

I can vouch for pedialite. Quite recently, actually....

Also, never use store bought sour mix.  1:1:1/2 lemon juice/lime juice/simple syrup.  you could go with a full ratio of simple syrup if you like it even sweeter.

IPAritas are a good thing, agreed.

always use cointreau, unless you are on a budget, in which case there are cheaper orange liquors. Never use triple sec. ever.

Neither am I! Damn you, Craig ... damn you!

Grand Marnier is also very good in them.

Well, to save some money ...you can use the cointrea on the first batch, and make them a bit strong-ish ... then you can use the triple sec on the 2nd batch none the wiser

It's the thought that counts.

True Margarita:

4 parts anjeo tequila

2 parts cointreau

1 part lime

 

possible adds:

simple syrup

proseco

cranberry juice or frozen concentrate

salt or sugar on the rim

lemon juice

lighter beers, IPA is better than lager, imo

That's pretty much how I make mine, too.  The 1 part lime turns into a lemon juice/lime juice/simple syrup mix, but otherwise it's the same.  They are popular when I make them.

This is the recipe I use for prosecco margaritas.

In order to not sound silly at a bar, how do you pronounce that? 

eye-parita? 

i-pee-eh-rita? 

[jimmer]

Well, I'm out.  Enjoy the game all.   I'll be missing it as I'll be in the bleachers watching AAA ball.

 

GO TWINS!

Hey, so will I!  Except, I'll be at Target Field!

 

 

 

Sorry, the cheap shot was far too obvious to ignore.

I went to Disney World

 

Don't remember going on any rides. But I remember waiting in line for rides. 

 

The trick to this is to have your doctor write you a note saying you are medically incapable of waiting in long lines.  They give you a pass.  You go up to the line and they write a time on the pass for whenever you would have arrived when you're in line... then you go do something else.

And Canadian spelling...  

 

Either you're into the margaritas or something serious is wrong.

I will be driving to Seattle, then eating and drinking Mexican food, have fun everyone.

Or, I just use Canadian spellings when I get into the potty humour
