[quote=“Gary “Wombat” Robson, post:59, topic:534559”] I think you’ll be very, very popular. Any good tequila in that liquor cabinet? Ghirardelli chocolate for the recipes? How about cigars? Got any cigars? [/QUOTE] Close but no cigar. I have Mezcal in my liquor cabinet, does that count as good tequila? Right now I am drinking rum and Fuze. Mmmm rum and fake tropical juices. Mmmm rum. Mmm tropics. Where exactly are the mods vacationing? ---

I actually made those cookies a few years back… protip: make sure the bacon is cooked to crunchiness. You don’t want it chewy. Trust me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/as-i-am-now-a-mod/534559.md?page=3)
