20/20 Gonzo 97: Topped With Grand Marnier

 

Public shots seem a strange spectacle.  Bringing the cameras around, commentary, for all to see the shots.  On the whole, drunkenness has proven to be destructive, the regrets, the remorse.  Politicians and officials, celebrities won't be far behind.  Enough of this, shots should be private affairs, then you can really get down, give a shot toast, everyone shoot it at the same time, salute!


Smooth tequila straight up, lime and salt.   Cheap and easy Kamikazes.  Peach Schnapps layered with Bailey's.  Tuaca Lemondrops topped with Grand Marnier.  Shots are not some sort of farce, show respect, shoot moderately, keep it intimate.


Drink plenty of water before and after taking shots.  Hydration is helpful and actually enhances the effect of the shot in many cases, takes the edge off, helps the landing, holds the euphoria for longer.  These politicians and officials on TV are expressionless after taking their shot.  Incredible really, most people contort their faces and sneer after taking a shot, probably won't do anything to them, doesn't seem that strong.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
