Thursday #21

[slick]

Has anyone started one for Thursday yet?? OOOOPS, I guess I just did. Duh!

Suggestions for themes:

Mexican Fiesta: We could have a fiesta and get some pinata's up and any PT'ers who hit a milestones that day can have a turn at it. Maybe we could persuade Richard to give a Flamingo dance. The DOTD would have to include Jose Cuervo somehow or a good Spanish Wine. Anybody got any maracas??

Autumn Arrival: We all dress up in autumn leaves and dance around the Horn of Plenty. Later we can have a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch???

oh double dang, these always get started just as i'm about to go home & hurricane Is-a-bitch knocked out my home computer I bet by the time I show up tomorrow morning yawl be half sloshed and doing the mexican hat dance in a pumpkin patch & I'll NEVER find you I guess I can always follow the sound of the maracas. You are talking about those rattly seed filled gourds aren't you, not that silly dance

I vote for the skimpy winter sprite outfits!



Gateway to Winter
The Autumnal Equinox marks the beginning of shorter days and longer nights. We gather with friends to strengthen our spirits in preparation for the passage into Winter. But it is a time of thanksgiving, for on the other side of that dark Winter is Spring.



Oh, and the bathroom has soap, toilet paper and towels............I made sure myself.....

If what I'm thinking of is what you are thinking of, some of those outfits include Spandex and look like bike shorts, except longer legs.......are you sure??

No spandex for me, thank you very much!! No one in the whole world will ever see THAT!!!
We have a cold front heading our way. For some reason I'm hungry for pumpin pie and apple cider but I love Mexican food too!

Sounds like a great idea. We're getting a last blast of summer here in the ol' Pac NW - highs in the low 80's (26-28c).

eek - I just heard on the radio that it's supposed to get up into the 90's this weekend. Yikes.

For a contest like that we may have to upgrade the restroom....those bars along the side of the potty are not for the disabled folks.....it's to keep people from blowing themselves off the seat!

actually,
the worm tests the tequila and should climb out....he gets too drunk to navigate the climb...
give me a second to find out!!

URBAN COWBOY has the greatest scene....the actor that plays Travolta's arch enemy gets the worm out of the bottle by sticking his tongue to plug the neck, he tilts it up and suck that puppy down when the worm sink to the bottom!!!


ewwwwww!

THE AGAVE WORM

The notorious Worm, Hipopta Agavis , also known as gusano rojo ("red worm") or gusano de maguey (maguey=agave worm) is a lepidopterous of the family Cossidae which perforates bases of Maguey leaves and builds galleries in the stems of some Agaves. The worm is considered a benign plague because of its good looks (very clean, coral color), good flavor and high price it fetches in the traditional Zapotec markets. It is prepared with tortillas or with salt ("worm salt").

Grown -up worm is a small brown butterfly of about 15 mm length. Males have body covered with wings. Females lack wings on the abdomen, their mouth is small and not well developed (oops!) and their back wings are white and furry. The larvae are 25 to 30 mm long, up to 5 mm wide and are bright coral colored.

Because of the flavor and fragrance that the worm gives to Mezcal, salt and salsas, it is very much in demand and difficult to find even in season. Therefore, some producers started to use another variety, Atrovirens , a white worm that inhabits leaves. The red is found in roots or the head of maguey. Both types are different in smell, color and flavor. The red variety is considered the superior one. In the bottle, it slowly loses its bright coral hue, becames paler and paler - but never turns ash-grey like the other variety.

In the prehispanic cultures the worm was eaten by itself and was highly appreciated as condiment.Some Indian tribes thought of the worm as a powerful aphrodisiac, that also blessed the warriors with virility and strength.The addition of worm to Mezcal was meant as proof of alcohol content but it considerably alters the taste, smell and color of liquor. To eat a worm when the bottle is empty is said to give a powerful "kick", very similar to "doing the roach" after taking your CA / AZ prescribed medication.

Doing the roach???? CA prescribed medication...

Well I NEVER......

"doing the roach" after taking your CA / AZ prescribed medication.
