REVENGE!

Ever seen the movie, A Fish Called Wanda? If so, you might remember the scene where Michael Palin's character is driving a steamroller towards Kevin Kline, shouting, "Revenge!" Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's exactly how I'm feeling right now...

You see, I went out with Bala, Nick and Melinda to TGIF again and again had some vats of Long Island Iced Tea. The last time I was out there, I bet Bala $10 USD that I could drink him under the table, so he's been really focused on winning that money. His underhanded tactic for making that happen? Asking his buddies to put extra shots of TEQUILA in my drinks.

Those of you who have known me for a long time (or even a short time with alcohol involved) know that my body does not like tequila the next morning. It dents me...badly. The only place that I have been able to drink tequila and not wake up feeling like I'm having a major remodel done on the inside of my skull has been in Mexico...and that was MEXICO people!!

Bala knows that tequila hurts me the next day because I told him so - I think that's the reason I was hungover after the last TGIF outing (I had a shot of it that night). But he conspired with Nick to get it added to my drinks anyway.

मदचो! (yeah...that's right...I said the bad Hindi word)

This is a shout out directly to Bala: if you believe that making me more hungover the next morning will somehow win you my hard earned money, you are sorely mistaken. I will be more than happy to drink you under the nearest available table at any point in time, but it will be with the alcohol of my choosing. Tequila doesn't make me any more drunk than other alcohols (as you saw last night), it just makes me more bitter and angry the next morning, buddy.

Bala, you've been good to me, man and I will always appreciate and love you for it. But I swear on my mother's eyes that I will somehow make you suffer for the hangover I have this morning. I'll find a way, my friend...oh yes...yes I will. Oh yeah and Nick? You're included in this, too :P

I had five vats of LIIT (funny acronym!) and I was still sober enough to walk out the door. I was even wearing my wedges and I didn't trip/stumble/otherwise humiliate myself. HA! So there. I even managed to keep my highly inappropriate and provocative thoughts to myself. I settled for the more culturally appropriate saucy and/or cheeky. Those of you who have seen me highly intoxicated will appreciate the effort that this took on my part, considering the ease with which shocking things will roll off my tongue after a few cocktails have run over it ;)

I also had my first Cuban cigar last night since they're legal here. Fascinating. I felt like Columbo with a fine cigar. It was wonderfully aromatic and stuff, but I couldn't smoke much of it before I had to let it go out :P

Tonight, it sounds like we're headed to Purple Haze again. I'm hoping that Melinda comes along, too - she's good times :D If any of my dear readers have suggestions for appropriate revenge on the tequila twosome, please let me know. It will be awhile before my little grey cells are back up to snuff ;) Luvs!
