Friday Relax: The Magnificent Bastard Cocktail, Because You’re Drinking After the Job

Posted by mistergroonk in Interviews, Just Freaking Neat on April 16, 2010

You can always count on a Magnificent Bastard to get things done.

No. Not the ever-planning bastard we all know and love from Greg Weisman’s Gargoyles, David Xanatos.

The following bastard.

What you see above you and in the recipe below is The Magnificent Bastard. A drink found on a site called, aptly enough, MagnificentBastard.com.

More details on the hows and whys of this glorious drink and an interview with said drink’s creator, Bryan Swanson, can be found on MB’s site.

Magnificent Bastard: Are you concerned that you’ve made a too dangerously drinkable cocktail?
Bryan Swanson: I don’t know exactly what I may have unleashed, but I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I do!

We don’t know if it’s “too dangerously drinkable” but even our unrefined palate can tell this drinks would knock an unforgivable hole in our wallet. The recipe lay below the jump in hopes that our local bartender (What’s up, Ken?) can concoct a more affordable relaxer. A Bastard Understudy, if you will.

@Rick_Snee, you want in on this?

Man Thinks He’s Jesus and George Bush, Stands Naked and Drunk in Road

Posted by mistergroonk in Alabama, USA on June 6, 2008

Drunk, naked and babbling incoherently in the street? That sounds like the Current President to me.

Resisting 4 blasts from X26 Tasers and, after wards, giving up peacefully? That sounds a bit like Jesus, too.

Maybe he’s on to something there.

A motorist called deputies about 4 a.m. to alert them that the man was standing nude in the middle of Alabama 79 at Bradford Road. As the motorist approached the man, he stumbled toward the car and was struck by the car’s mirror, sheriff’s authorities said. The man then ran away.

The motorist summoned deputies. Armed with their X26 Tasers, they ordered Odell to the ground, but he refused. He was struck in the chest by the Taser but didn’t go down. He was struck a second time and fell to the ground, but wouldn’t roll over to his stomach. When he was struck a third time, the man yanked the Taser wires out of chest. After being shot a fourth time, Odell complied with deputies and was secured with handcuffs and leg irons.

Odell stated that he was Jesus Christ and George Bush and that he could break the handcuffs. Authorities said he appeared to be intoxicated.
