Bugged out on moonshine

by Otis

The only downside to my new gig is that I lose a lot of social interaction. And, if you know me, you know that a good part of my life-fuel comes from the people I call friends.

So, Friday night some old friends and I sat around on my back deck with a few beers, the guitars, and a lotta laughs.

Then G-Rob shows up with the moonshine and what I shudder to recognize as an omen.

It actually was the best squeezins I'd ever had. Nonetheless, when I went to clean up the next day, I spied an unfinished shot.

Normally, bugs don't bug me, but this one did. That's because a Carolina mosquito had nose-dived in for a drink, got drunk, and drowned.

Actually, the only reason it bugs me is the shot glass it died in.

Now, if that's not a bad omen, I don't know what is.

When I looked closer, I discovered the bug had a look in his eye like I expect to when I sit down on Friday and Saturday.

Dead buggy money.

Damn it.

Don't worry, it's good luck... in Haiti.

BG is passing off Caddyshack lines as his own material again.

Much like how you have to "eat the worm" when you get to the bottom of a tequila bottle, I suggest you have to "eat the skeeter."

Holy shit, now that is a mosquito. Damn, I thought we got big ones up here, but that is huge.

I'm w/ Pauly on this one, you've got to eat the skeeter. That will get rid of the bad luck. Go for it.

Dude, I have to provide footnotes and a bibliography to leave a comment on UFP? Dang.

Somehow seal that bitch in there and bring it to Vegas as your card protector.

Or eat it.

One or the other. You gotta do something to sway the bad omens towards somebody else. I plan on bringing 2193 tiki gods (that I found in Hawaii while vacationing with my 2 brothers, 3 sisters, maid, butcher, and parents) for all my non-blogger competitors. It's just something original I thought up. (Pauly)

Wash that bad boy down with a nice 180 proof shot.

Good luck.
