Thought for the Day:
Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, US essayist & poet (1803 - 1882)
Winter time is a great time to re-read some of that Emerson that’s been sitting on your book shelf since that Lit. course you had to take your sophomore year at the Community College, the man was on to something….
My Day so Far:
Sorry, not a lot to write today, I am working on a Federal Grant, that was designed by the inhabitants of somewhere close to the Seventh Level of Hell, plus two State grants and one Private Funder grant. Also, since I am the only management person here, I am on-fucking-call, oh joy. So, I am playing grown-up at work today and for the rest of the week.
Surfside Beach SC:
You suck, yes you…I can’t get home to see you this holiday, no not even for New Years and its going to be in the mid-seventies over the weekend. I am home-fucking-sick.
The Magic Hand Trick:
Take a Snifter glass and fill it with Sambuca. Ask a guest at the bar if they could pick up the glass just using your palm of one hand ( no fingers ). Here's how its done: Take a match and light the Sambuca on fire, then place the palm of your hand over the snifter. The fire will use up all of the oxygen and create a large suction so you can pick up the glass and wave it around in the air. Easy and a great way to win a small fortune. Very Easy!

In memory of “Thumper” who showed me how to make this drink at Scotty’s Beach Bar the summer of ’02. Sadly “Thumper” hung himself on his front yard from a Palmetto tree (which in and of itself, was no small accomplishment, being that the tree was only 5 feet tall and he was 6'2) after his wife “Pretty-Girl with the Socks” left him for a midget who worked on the board walk. (True Story). Bottoms up to you “Thumper”!
Red Army Cocktail aka “You Lost your Panties?”:
Ingredients:
3/4 oz. Vodka
3/4 oz. Gin
3/4 oz. Rum
3/4 oz. Midori
3/4 oz. Triple Sec
1/2 oz. Sloe Gin
Serve in a Pint glass
Splash of 7up, Garnish w/ Cherry & Olive
Made famous by the Sweet and Kind Mrs. John Q. Public’s last tour of mid-south National Guard Armories and Country Fair Grounds, with the Boy-Band she tirelessly promotes. She is often quoted as saying “It’s the only drink that goes well with Clogging”, however she recommends wearing good underwear.
Quote for the Day:
All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.
Aristotle, Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC)
