I used to make those in college. We called them mangaritas because the recipe came from some little "how to be a man" handbook (with things like how to fix a screen door, sharpen a lawnmower blade, and make a good margarita).

Dew, tequila, and ice in a blender turns out pretty well... And back then I was a big dew drinker so we always had some on hand.

Did you spray yourself with Axe body spray under your bengal strip shirt before hitting the club up while drinking Dew margaritas?

Only use i ever had for Axe was taking the free samples they would hand out on campus, sneaking into someone's dorm room, and spraying it all over their pillow.

We all like to **** on Axe body spray but there clearly are a lot of people buying it. My theory is that there’s a still-undiscovered hormone that is secreted by the male brain between 13.5 and 13.75 years of age that has a pleasurable reaction to it. All other members of the species don’t get it.

this hormone was also responsible for Drakkar Noir in a previous generation but I wasn’t paying enough attention then to identify it.

It either lasts longer than that or the pleasure is too deeply linked to memory. I had a roommate in college who used that stuff all the time.

And you’re saying that this roommate gave you pleasant memories? Hubba hubba

I don't get adopting a highway. Is it just cheap advertising for local businesses?? You go out with your employees, shoot photos in Hi-vis vests and there's a blurb in the local paper. Then never acknowledge the road again. The only people I've ever seen cleaning highways are inmates from the penitentiary.

I don’t get the Amazon 4-star stores. Didn’t Amazon conquer the world, smash the brick & mortars and heard the lamentations of their women, by owning the online and logistics space so thoroughly? And now they’re building stores?

that said, I just walked into one and picked up a UPS box that I was planning to order anyway

If you go into one of those stores, Prime members get instant shipping...

Sucker- UPS doesn't make you use their boxes to ship stuff!
