Quintessentialism
Ah yes…the perfect thing. Well, not really perfect, as in “without faults”, but more along the lines of the picture that comes to mind when you think of a generalized item. For example, when I think of “cookie”, I think of this:
Mmmmm….chocolatey goodness. And yet, it is not my favorite cookie.
Don’t you dare call me a heretic.
Anyway, some things are obvious to most of us. We envision a cup of coffee as being dark and steaming, even though we may drink it with milk or creamer, or iced. When someone says “french fries”, we picture a red carton of fries from McDonald’s, even though we may actually prefer to eat the waffle ones from Chick-Fil-A.
But when it comes to BOOZE*, it’s different. Hubby may very well picture a bottle of scotch, whereas I picture a margarita. His may be closer than mine to a quintessential item, but it may be that since I don’t drink it often, it doesn’t come to mind when someone asks. Personal preference will out.
So, our question today is, what is the quintessential HOOKER* and the quintessential BOOZE*??
*Yes, still trying to get G0000000000gle results in our favor. It’s shameless, but it works 
Girlie Drink of the Week
It has been a while since I wrote about BOOZE*. Between Hubby’s wonderful visit, and the kids’ schooling, I have had little opportunity to write a post about BOOZE* that appeals to the female readers of this blog. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy BOOZE* while Hubby was here, or when the Nomstress was visiting, because if I recall, we did manage to consume quite a bit of BOOZE* during their stay.
The recycling bin was pretty full
Anyway, our friend Bako was kind enough to inspire me. Actually, I asked him if he could recommend a girlie drink, and then he said he would never do such a thing, but being the kind and thoughtful soul he is, he took pity and suggested a very simple and refreshing cocktail.
TEQUILA GIMLET:
- 1 oz. Lemon Juice
- ¼ oz Rose’s Lime Juice
- 2 oz Silver Tequila
Shake well with ice in a shaker and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with sugar and lime slices, if desired.
I did it as Bako suggested, using all fresh lime juice. And at that ratio, I’m sure it would knock me out, so I did 2 oz. of lime juice to 1 oz of tequila.
It knocked me out anyway.
*My shameless attempt to get on the front page of G00000gle for the term BOOZE.
UPDATE!!!!
I have to underline here that our friend Bako only suggested the cocktail as he makes it, which is equal parts of lime juice and tequila.
He is in no way associated with ever suggesting the use of Rose’s lime juice. Ever. In anything. Eleventy!!!
The Left is apparently unware of what constitutes a ‘joke’
“I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that,” Perdue said. “You want people who don’t worry about the next election.”
Note the URL. ‘perdue_suggests_suspending_congressional_elections_for_two_years_was_she_serious’ vs. the updated headline on that page, ‘Perdue jokes about suspending Congressional elections for two years’.
It was a joke, see? You’re just too dumb to get it.
I’m not much into conspiracies and I’m not going to delve into thoughts of whether this was a trial balloon or whether SCOAMF* might actually try to do something like this. It sounded nutty when the left said it about Bush and it sounds nutty now too.
I just think these people are idiots. Oh, I’m sure they’d like for things to be different but I don’t think any of them would actually push something like this. Just like when SCOAMF said he wished he could bypass Congress.
For the moment I’m going to assume Gardasil made her retarded.

Post Serious Discussion Hookers
Romney is the new McCain
A lot of folks still get their news from the newspapers and the networks. This is sad but true. Sure the headline says the majority distrusts the media, but a lot of folks have nowhere else to get their news.
When its down to Romney, Perry, and Cain (go ahead and call me a racist for listing the black guy last) the MSM will be fluffing Romney big time. The only thing worse than the nominee being a conservative black guy or a Texan is the next POTUS being a conservative black guy or a Texan.
Either is a disaster for the left.
So we hear about electability and being a moderate and appealing to the independents .. just like we did with McCain.
What the conservatives need to be doing to Romney is tying his ass to McCain. We need to beat the drum that Romney is the “establishment pick” … just like McCain. That its Romney’s “turn” .. just like McCain. That Romney is “moderate” … just like McCain. That Romney appeals to the independents .. just like McCain.
If the right can paint Romney as the second coming of McCain he wouldn’t stand a chance in the primary.
Its almost a forgone conclusion that any Republican is gonna beat Obama so too many people will be accepting (and are accepting) of Romney simply cause any Republican is good enough.
Make Romney feel like another McCain and everyone will be scared to death to let him have the nomination. Compare him constantly to the only fucking Republican that couldn’t beat that empty suit.

Little One told me that William Shakespeare was responsible for adding hundreds of new words into the English language. With said additions, he became responsible for many common idioms used today:

Saturday Semi-Hooker
I feel dreadful, but I have obligations to the readers here, so by Jove I will lift my foot from the grave in which it resides and deliver a morsel for the visual feast.
Hope y’all have a great Saturday. I’m off to pass out on the couch.
Shaken and Stirred
I have scoured the interwebtubenets for a long time, and people still fight over such a simple thing:
Vodka or gin in a martini??
I did a search for "sexy martini", and this came up. AWESOME!!!
Now, before LC Draco decides to wax poetic here (because he thinks he is the resident expert on a martini), I well realize that gin is the correct answer. That’s not the point. Nor is the point about the correct vermouth, or type of olive to use.
No, my question is why vodka over gin?
I order a martini, and the bartender gets the Absolut™. Seldom do I see a bartender reach for Tanqueray™. And I think I know why…
Not as deadly as 014, though.
I ♥ James Bond like any normal, red-blooded woman would, but did he have to fuck it up for everybody just so he could be different? Seriously, that was a total dick move by Bond. Not that I would ever tell him to his face.
Unless it was Lazenby. Then I would.
Karma is Feeling Groovy
Oh yes…. Karma is quite the unrepentant bitch, and rightly so. Witness how she just gave Julian Assange a taste of his own medicide*:
The autobiography of Julian Assange is published today despite attempts by the WikiLeaks founder to suppress it after a bitter row with its publisher.
Oh, the rich, rich taste of that bastard’s tears!!
Actually, forget tasting them. Just go ahead and bathe in them.
“I have kept my own counsel about the matter until now,” he writes. “It will be difficult to keep anger out of this account, owing to the sheer level of malice and opportunism that has driven the case against me.”
Newsflash, you idiot: YOU brought this upon yourself. YOU were the one who insisted that EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD should be available to EVERYONE. YOU were the one who laughed at the concept of “privacy”. Now, you are making a mockery of yourself, pining for the same privacy that you felt no one and no country should ever have.
You wanted to play God on your terms, and forgot the other side of the coin, Assange. Welcome to Karma, and I hope you choke on that bitter pill.
