This is PROOF that these are a true cultural icon. An entire episode featuring
the Margatitaville machine. In case you do not have time to watch the whole show
(scroll down third show on the left "Margaritaville") the machine is used as a plot device
wherein the machine substitutes for mortgage-backed securities....funny, very funny,
but the other subplot is straight out of the new testament. Worth a quick watch.
It's Friday after all. The first 3 minutes are as funny as any show they've done.
:-):-) funny chit!

I love Margaritas. When I say that you have no idea what I mean. I love margaritas like a man loves a woman, but not the way it really is, the way it is right before you get married.
If I had one of those machines and a 55 gallon drum of Two Fingers, I'd be in jail by tomorrow morning. I'd have a big mess in the kitchen, too.

It was a sad day when K&B, McKenzies, and Danny & Clydes went away...
I only have one word for you.....
MOTHER'S!
Now they make good poboys even if you have to wait in line.
Actually another good place I used to go to when I worked in Metairie was the Short Stop on Transcontinental.
As for the Margaritaville machine - it's on my Father's day wish lish.

Mother's IS the classic, isn't it. I especially like the times when they have a baking pan of cracklin' on the
counter to make the wait a little more tolerable. Can't say I've been there alot, but I have loved it several times.
I also like the Oyster platter at Cafe' Maspero in the quarter. Menu says "more than you can eat", and I thought
that was for the tourist's benefit. It was more than I could eat. LOL

Well, the end of an era has come to Memphis. My friend Mark is moving to Nashville to sell TV
THERE, so gone are the Saturday afternoons waiting for the ice to "cure" so we could blend us
up another pitcher of the tremendous drinks these things kick out. We would do this about three
out of four weekends a month in the summer. Of course
I HAVE one, but I don't know 1/20th
of the bartenders, strippers and young yummies Mark does. Nor is my house in pristine partying
condition 24/7. It is a dump. And blending up drinks for 1 is bad mojo.

You need to get out and make friends.

BTW, I got by Mother's on Friday before Mardi Gras and there was a line
40 deep outside the door, and I KNOW what it must have looked like
INSIDE the door, so I passed right on by.

That's always the problem with Mother's.

Roast beef po-boy with a handful of napkins for all that gravy that runs down
to your elbows. Then there is the Soft-shell crab po-boy from New Orleans
Hamburger Company. And the shrimp poboy from any one of about 50 gas stations in and around.
And my alltime favorite, the OYSTER poboy!
OH wait, wasn't this about daquiris, lol. OK, I am going to lunch, that's it.
And don't forget the French Fry PoBoy - a little known option.
:-)
Trick in Memphis would be getting the correct bread.

Nice machine btw, Captain.
But the reason I topped this today is I get an email from my sister. She is a
minister. But she emails me to remind me to bring my FCM with me to the mountains
when we get together for our annual cabin week above the hot people in August.
She's the good kind of religious person. Not the "Jesus drank wine" kind, the 'pity
the poor fools that can't square religion and responsible alcohol consumption' kind.
So I need to get a bottle of vodka to go with my rum, then box up the old FCM and
start priming my self for a long-awaited, can't come soon enough break from this HEAT.
