Cisco watch

Normally I am not into rituals. Some argue that rituals are an intrinsic part of the human experience. I think they are boring, and largely avoid them. Does that mean I'm not human? Still, I do indulge in one ritual.

My post-interview ritual when blazing through the job circuit is to douse my sorrows with a coating of MD 20/20. Like novocaine for the soul! It will coat your unhappiness like bathtub scum. Mmmmm, bathtub scum...

So there I was at the liquor store. I went for the cooler (my store keeps it cold for me) and reached in for my 20/20 when I saw that my world has a new addition. Orange Jubilee! Now normally I would be all over that to review for the Booze Army. But I've done enough gambling on hooch for a while, and I went with old faithful "red grape".

It was then that I noticed that there are two delightful new flavors of Cisco: grape and pineapple. Let's all welcome the new addition to the bumwine family. I was going to take pictures for posterity, but the lady behind the counter was already eying me good for coming in to buy bumwine wearing a suit.

Connoisseurs beware: I spyed these new flavors only in the 13% alcohol variety. As you recall from your hobonomics, compared to the full 18% of Richards, that ain't no deal.



I don't know how it stacks up with Blue Rasberry for taste, but definitely falls short on the econometric scale of homeless poverty.

Start saving for Christmas

I know that Christmas is a long way off. But if you are looking for something really special...how about a still? Check out stilldrinkin's awesome still page:

"So easy even an 8 year old girl can pull off a killer run!"

Its never too early for baby to start moonshining! Yes, I'm talking to you!

What I like best about this site is that they refer to your end product as "hooch". Awesome.

20/20 is still good

MD 20/20 is sometimes looked on as "greasy kid's stuff", the sort of hooch you might have drunk in high school basements when parents were away or at a houseparty in college. I'm getting on in years, but 20/20 is still good. Despite me being old and pickled, a bottle of 20/20 can still pack a punch. I enjoy the numb feeling it instills. I know you might ask "why not just drink real wine"? Well, there is a good reason for that. Real wine has a cork, and that means you either drink it all or waste some of it. How about that screwcap? Sometimes I want to put it away for a bit and pick it up later. Yeah baby, yeah. Also, 20/20 is part of my post interview ritual. It really takes the edge off.
