It’s amazing how many people on this board are mimics. Are we running out of fresh ideas? ---

I like a dood margarita… [The perfect Margarita](http://www.ocean.washington.edu/people/staff/ericl/marg.html) 1. Fill shaker with broken cubed ice. 2. Squeeze TWO fresh lime wedges into shaker. 3. Savor the fresh lime aroma (AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!) 4. Add 2 oz. Cuervo 1800. 5. Sniff the cork. 6. Add 1/2 oz. of Jose Cuervo White if ya wish (white for bite!). 7. Add 1-1/4 oz. of Roses Lime Juice (accept no substitutes!). 8. Add 1/2 oz. of Bols Triple Sec (nothing but the best!). 9. Add “a splash” of Bols Orange Curaco (shh… secret ingredient). 10. Cover shaker tightly! 11. Shake vigorously. 12. Flip shaker in midair twice (three times if you’re a pro). 13. Uncover shaker and savor the flavor! 14. Rim glass with Lime peel (outside only!). 15. Salt the outside only. 16. Add fresh ice. 17. Strain mixture over ice. 18. Squeeze in 1 lime wedge and toss rind over left shoulder. 19. Now kick back, turn up the tunes and enjoy! Trust me on this too. ---

Has anyone ever considered the possibility that **Reeder** is actually a tool of some ultra-rightist SDMB poster designed to deligitimize the Left/liberals? Somewhere, in a dark room deep in the catacombs of the Illuminati headquarters, there is a evil villain witnessing Reeder’s idiotic threads and laughing, gleefully muttering to his minion in a sinister tone, “Everything is going according to plan!!” ---

Worse, what if **Reeder** and **december** are secretly roommates, and they’re playing the “nutball liberal/conservative” schtick to mess with _all_ our minds? :eek: ---
