Yes it’s yet another post about food! I love Christmas time because its about the only time that I ever get to eat tamales. Tamales are one of my favorite Mexican foods to eat. But of course I have no idea how to make them and so I must rely on others to do so. But see when I was a kid, I remember going to my grandmas house and she would always send us home with a bag of tamales at Christmas time. Then as we got older, my mom found a place where she could buy tamales and they were really good too. Now I know a couple who know how to make tamales and I try try try to get them to make me tamales…but it just never works out. And the place I used to buy them from, is no longer in business. Well last year the biggest surprise ever happened. This little messican lady knocks on my door at about 9 in the morning on Christmas day. “Ju like tamales???” “HELL YES!!!” And she handed me a bag of tamales. I’ll tell you what, that was the best present I got last year…well that and a card covered in glitter which I will cherish for the rest of my life…(but thats another story). So anyhow, I just received a delivery of a dozen tamales from mom, because she found someone who knows how to make them and sells them. So we got some really good homemade tamales here in the Mad Beat Factory this year. I just ate 4 and I am super happy!!! If you want some Christmas tamales…I’ll hook you up for next year!! Just let me know! LOL

So I have a rental car this week. Don’t ask why, I’m not getting into that. So last night…just a mere few hours ago, I was out at the wonderful Dirty Bird…followed by a trip over to Chuck’s Nuts. For those unaware, that means I was at the Flamingo before heading over to Charlie Jewells. So when we were at the Bird, we enjoyed some JägerBombs and I was of course, drinking water in between every drink. I still enjoy my buzz…but don’t suffer the fate of being wasted or sick the day after. Can’t say the same for my friend. So anyhow, we made our way over to Chuck’s Nuts, and well, I had my usual drink of choice, the Arrogant Bastard Ale. She had a vodka shot…I knew she wouldn’t last much longer. So then she see’s an Irish Car Bomb. Her eyes lit up and she says, “WHAT IS THAT??” “It’s an Irish Car Bomb.” She quickly orders us two!
In case you are wondering…its a shot of half Jameson’s Irish Whiskey and half Bailey’s Irish Cream (mmm Bailey’s–creamy beige!!) and then you drop the shot into a glass of Guiness Stout. Of course, one must down this drink with the quickness as it WILL curdle if you let it sit too long. So naturally we down our drinks. Still, I’m fine…hardly a buzz at all. My friend…ready to pass out…ready to barf. Hahah!! Rookie. Anyhow, she passes out on the bar and I have to walk her out, practically carrying her. Once outside we have to walk two blocks to where I parked over by the Dirty Bird. And of course, this is the street where all the bars are and so the sidewalk is full of people and this girl can barely even walk. So we get about a block down the street, and all of sudden, she realizes she has to pee. Well like any classy lady would, she pulls down her pants and crouches down in front of the door of the music instrument store…which is closed thankfully. Drunk people tend to not have the best aim however, as she seemed to get a lot of pee on her pants. So now we have another block to go…and there are people all over the sidewalk here, and she has really wet pants…and to top it off, its like 40 degrees outside. But finally we made it to the car. Now the fun begins.
Once in the car, she sees that we are parked next to this chinese food place and she just has to have Chow Mein. Well luckily it the place was still open for another 15 minutes so I went in and got her some chow mein while she stayed in the car and of course, passed the fuck out. Well, I ordered me some Kung Pao chicken and shrimp and said fuck the chow mein. And glad that I did too. Because no less than 10 minutes later, I pulled up in my driveway, walk around the car to get her out, and she barfs all over the passenger side of the car…inside and out. I’ll tell you what, she didn’t need anyMORE damn chow mein, because she obviously had some earlier in the day.
Well once she got in the house…off came the clothes, she jumped in the tub and wanted to take a bath because…well she was covered in barf. Too bad that my water heater only had enough hot water for about half a bath though because as she was trying to relax in the tub…she started shivering and saying COOOOOLLLLLLDDDDD because nothing but cold water was coming out of the faucet. HAHAHAH!!! She then gets out, lays down in my bed and wakes up in the morning wondering why she has no clothes on…like it was all my fault! Oh yeah I bought her the drinks, guess I am to blame.
