Whoa, Hoop! We stood out in the cold on the street corner in Cheboygan with our signs, and then we went to The Hive for hot Black Madonna mead and chocolate to warm up. I'm telling you, it was like the Crochett House at Christmas! Now that I've come home, I'm wondering why you didn't just use Mt. Gay, a very servicible alternative? In fact, come to think of it, I'll have one now, with just a little ice and a slice of lime! Skol!...
Malort is pure unmitigated bitterness. But once you realize that, you can use it as a bittering agent in a cocktail. Cocktails run sweet as a rule, so a novel tool to balance them gets our attention.
I've heard some stories about how beer was first found on the small cup of a large rock, and who had to test it first. Your story reminds me of that!...
Yes: I'd like to know about the weight-to-lift ratios of European vs African swallows carrying coconuts. Please hurry as my assignment is due in on Monday.
I'll have a barrel of "Cut Through The Gunfire” thank you very much, and don't stint on the champagne shots. The latter may not be needed but I do need them.
It's gorgeous and yummy to look at. Seductive, really. Shame about the name.

Took the day off to move storage units. The new one is over 50% cheaper and a tad bigger, but it’s on the 4th floor. It’s fine as I don’t go in that often, but initial load in today was brutal! 7 hours of moving stuff in a particular order so I can have space to take down and then reassemble shelves and reload them. Some stuff got donated, but the rest fell in that spot where it’s not always used, but I don’t want to get rid of it, either.

One of my fave phrases in one of 3 excellent Guardian reviews of MELANIA (the Carpool Karaaoke part):
Her favourite artist is Michael Jackson. “I met him once with Donald,” she tells the film’s director Brett Ratner in the back of a limo on the way to Mar-a-Lago. “He was very sweet, very nice.” Her favourite songs are Billie Jean and Thriller, she adds, before she and Ratner briefly duet on the former, like Carpool Karaoke on the highway to hell.
I barely left my house today, but when I did, I braved the ice-covered landscape to walk to the park because I dearly wanted to get out and have a look around, which I hadn't done in two days. The entire world is cold and slippery and hard and dangerous. But I did get a nice shot of a ruby-crowned kinglet. Enjoy!
It really bothers me that good humans like WITP, Walter Wellstone and others from here are gone, but pieces of crap like Trump and Stephen Miller, etc. still persist.
My wife still watches Bill Maher and he has (had… IDK, could be from her library) MTG on and I swear to God she proves Rand Paul would have been screaming about space lasers had he come up in the MAGA arena... she's just a Libertarian wrapped in a nut case flavored MAGA red tortilla and Cocoa butter bronzer. She just needed to get elected at first, then got greedy for power and went MAGA bonkers... which turned Shitler off with her alpha-cuckoo tendencies..She now wants to be cheer mom again (until the time is right). She's a sly little fox and you better not look away because she definitely can tell whichaway the Georgia wind blows and it ain't MAGA long term. She's looking at Senate and retire there or Gov, because she knows she ain't cut for national fame. And Georgia is gettin' too smart for their own good, so she's gotta lie better now... and if she knows one thing, it's lyin' better.

On tonight's WonkZoom, Uncle Milburn and I note the passing of Woman in the Persistence/Woman Coming Home/Katy. She passed suddenly earlier this week. Finding quotes for tonight's announcements was a challenge since many were overly religious or sappy. In lieu of flowers, Milburn suggested attending a protest.

“Cut Through The Gunfire”, I used to make a drink like that with Alexi vodka, Tang, a fun sized Mounds bar, then stirred with a Sugar Daddy!
Tang? Orc medicine. :P
It's a secret ingredient, no sane bartender would use it!
But allegedly chefs in Chinese take-out restaurants would:

Boy, that must be fun playing with all those cocktails; what an interesting recipe post!
If you don’t have sage and Malort you can substitute by burning some rubber bands under the glass.
Seriously...why does every other drink recipe have Malort in it?

Everyone in Capistrano thinks so.

The Slovakian wooden statue of Melania is being compared favorably to Melania's acting skills as her movie premieres.
A graduate of the Costner School of Acting
We call it “The School of No Inflection Acting” and list Costner as a valedictorian of his class.
Speaking of wooden.
What acting skills? You must be joking.
Before or after it burned down? (Or is that apocryphal?)
It disappeared last May. It was probably tore up for kindling or something.

My love to everyone on the wonkzoom and all who admired Woman. I didn’t know her name, but now I feel better knowing it somehow.
It really bothers me that good humans like WITP, Walter Wellstone and others from here are gone, but pieces of crap like Trump and Stephen Miller, etc. still persist.
It's not just.
At least the MAGA shitheels aren't trying to post directly here. It might be fun, though. Maybe...probably not.

The Constitution, Article I, Section 2, requires that every person in the state be counted when the census is taken.
That's what makes Missouri so mavericky

Maybe they'll make the math even harder by compromising and counting the undocumented as 3/5ths a person.
