@PlacidPenguin Well naturally, given that you’re already placid. The agitated penguins, however… Another story entirely. And the more margaritas for them, the better.
the 7-11 next door to the liquor store hates it when I buy the airplane bottles of tequila first, then pour them into the bottom of the slurpee cup and mix a cherry-lime margarita.
@jst1ofknd the strip mall they occupy is about a mile from home- I confess I’ll do the aforementioned on my way home a couple times a week, and the tequila doesn’t register until a third of the thing is gone, which only happens when I’ve been home 10 minutes.
@alacrity Good old Cuba Libre (one of my personal favorites after a Dark and Stormy - basically a Moscow Mule with a good spiced dark rum instead of vodka)
Here’s an interesting note. In Oklahoma, where I live, all the liquor stores next to 7-11s are closing.
Due to a recent change to state law, 7-11 (which owns the building) is moving into the liquor store business. That is, at least, what I’ve heard. It certainly bears up from what I’ve seen so far, but we won’t see 7-11 liquor stores until October when the law is supposed to go into effect.
@alacrity@jst1ofknd Beer (like wine) has a thousand varieties. We had a steakhouse with a microbrewery that made a beer that looked and tasted just like iced tea. People who say they don’y like beer just haven’t found the one they like yet.

Never had one.
@PlacidPenguin That’s odd. I head the penguins particularly like margaritas.
@shahnm
Well, THIS penguin has never had one.
@PlacidPenguin Well naturally, given that you’re already placid. The agitated penguins, however… Another story entirely. And the more margaritas for them, the better.
@shahnm
Don’t even get me started on them.
@PlacidPenguin Sorry I brought it up. To be on the safe side, though, better get a batch of margaritas made up…
@shahnm
Why? I won’t drink them.
@PlacidPenguin For the agitated penguins, sir. Before it’s too late!
@shahnm
I’d like to see them try to get near me though.
@PlacidPenguin I, too, would like to see that. We all would, methinks…
@shahnm
Of course, first they’d have to find me.
Finally, a decent poll!
@shahnm I didn’t see any option for “Don’t care.”
@InnocuousFarmer Apathy is not an option. Apparently.
@shahnm I guess… Either way.
Peach blended
Blended is heresy.
Delicious, delicious heresy that I won’t turn away, but heresy nonetheless.
I don’t drink alcoholic drinks. I figure at 41, I don’t need to start.
@jst1ofknd they’re pretty damned good slurpees, too.
@jst1ofknd try salting the rim of your frozen limeade.
I’d like to know if it’s a good idea.
Where’s “don’t care as long as it gets me drunk.”?
@2many2no Spendy taste my friend.
@caffeine_dude After a night mistakenly spent with Jose Cuervo, I discovered that the good stuff is worth every penny.
@2many2no Costco has good stuff.
the 7-11 next door to the liquor store hates it when I buy the airplane bottles of tequila first, then pour them into the bottom of the slurpee cup and mix a cherry-lime margarita.
@alacrity thanks for the tip!
@alacrity
What’s wrong with that? Just as long as you’re not driving too…
@alacrity
I will file this under “Things to do if I ever start drinking.”
That actually sounds like it would be good.
@jst1ofknd the strip mall they occupy is about a mile from home- I confess I’ll do the aforementioned on my way home a couple times a week, and the tequila doesn’t register until a third of the thing is gone, which only happens when I’ve been home 10 minutes.
@jst1ofknd rum works, too- but mix a 4/1 ratio of coke & lime, or straight Hawaiian Punch.

@alacrity @jst1ofknd Does that mean you’ll finally get real beer too? I could hardly believe it when I saw 3.2% Heineken.
@2many2no @alacrity
I’ve heard what beer tastes like. I think I would continue to live without that.
@alacrity @jst1ofknd Beer (like wine) has a thousand varieties. We had a steakhouse with a microbrewery that made a beer that looked and tasted just like iced tea. People who say they don’y like beer just haven’t found the one they like yet.
@2many2no @alacrity
That one would not work for me either. I don’t like tea iced or otherwise.
I am slightly disappointed as I would like to drink hot Earl Grey tea for obvious reasons.
@alacrity @jst1ofknd don’t (too late to edit)
On the rocks. The only way to enjoy a true marg.
Anything more expensive than a tequila like Hornitos is a waste, as it’s a mixed drink…
Rocks with lots of salt. Yummm
Gran Centenario Leyendo.
In a shot glass.
Then pour some Hornitos crap into your margarita.
Sisters with the same name? Sure, and it doesn’t matter how they pose.
You had me at Margarita.

@AlexJones So who are you, really? This amusing alter ego of yours appeared 11 days ago. Who is this AlexJones person…?
I’m guessing Ratchel Maddow, without his makeup.
The last margarita I have very had was on the rocks made with this…
@salaosantiago you should def proof read it you’re been drinking!
@salaosantiago Pot, meet Kettle.
I like a little mezcal smokiness in a marg. And they always ask about salt — who are these maniacs that decline salt on the rim?
@becca
I first read this as “little smokies”. Those are good cooked in BBQ sauce.
@becca @jst1ofknd now drinking terrible is going to come back with the lil’ smoky margarita. Wonder if it will be chipotle or honey BBQ sauce.
@becca I don’t know, Becca! But without the salt it is just wronggggg.
@becca i decline salt. But I have a sensitivity to it, I’ve never liked it.
My dad used to salt salted peanuts to keep me out of them. Washing peanuts was tiresome, take my word for it.
And having it on the run of my drink? Yeah, hey barkeep, could you please remake my drink?
@lisaviolet what a jerkdad thing to do
Rocks! Blended gives me brain freeze.
We have a lime tree. I make margaritas (rocks) by the pitcher. Just add lime.
Weren’t we going to get a new poll wronger? The correct answer is yes, please.
I mean, I have to abandon my car after one margarita most of the time, but it’s worth it. They’re delicious and I don’t get scurvy.
On the rocks. Recently tried Blueberry Basil, muddled, with salt on the rim. It was heaven!
@pitamuffin Try a Cucumber Basil Margarita on the rocks, made like a mojito.
On the rocks so I can suck down more of them in a shorter time span. Who needs all that crushed up ice getting in the way!?
@LordSalem Have you tried multiple straws? We called it ‘pipelining’ back in college. More straws = more flow.
I learned that trick at a McMillan seminar on their Structural Dynamics of Flow.
