Margarita Brain Damage
Tequila makes me stupid. I definitively proved that as a young adult, but since I have a margarita so seldom, I forget about tequila’s odd effect on my mind.
At Friday’s Cinco De Mayo (or to be precise, Dos De Mayo) party I had two Margaritas, enough to ensure an ENTIRE EVENING OF HEARTBURN and “Catchphrase” foolishness. Folks, I ROCK at Catchphrase. It must have been the tequila that made the following things happen to me:
Phrase: Foul shot
Me: “OK, I don’t know much about sports but I think this is hockey-”
Friends: ”Puck! Slap shot! Skates!”
Me: “It’s when you hit the puck, and…”
Friends: “Hat Trick! …! …!”
Me: “This may not even be hockey, I have no idea.”
Connie’s ten year old daughter comes over to help me. “No, I think this is baseball.”
Friends: “Foul Ball! Home Run! Bases are loaded!”
The buzzer rings. “It’s foul shot,” I say.
Friends: “That’s basketball!”
Then there was the most horrific mistake. I am so embarrassed to even type it.
Phrase: Leonardo da Vinci
Me: “The guy who painted the Sistine Chapel.”
Friends: “Michelangelo!”
Me: “Okay, not that guy.”
Folks, I’m a Renaissance history buff. I’m so ashamed. All I can do is AGAIN swear that I’ll never taste a drop of tequila again. Like I’ve said at so many parties before.

Oh, Tequilla! Not a good match with a quiz type game….HOW COULD YOU confuse Leonardo and Michelangelo? Only teasing.
I do try to stay away from “that which tasts to good to stop” at all parties.
Hope you didn’t have too bad of a hangover. Pax, EJT

Hey, at least it wasn’t Pictionary!

@Elizabeth, I can think of about 10 da Vinci clues right now…I dunno what happened the other night.
@Kalynne, yikes. I’d have to draw the “Last Supper” painting or something for da Vinci.
