The Important Matter of Spicy Lemonade

Imagine yourself to be in a hazy state of exhaustion, because you only got 2.5 hours sleep the night before. Then imagine yourself having to schlep around, hauling stuff back and forth, throughout the dainty aisles of WFMI, in order to purvey the finest delicacies for Casa del Fly, at the behest of none other Mrs. Fly, VIII, Empress of the New Boots clan. After you zapped $600 out of your checking account for 10 bags of snacks, you walk over to the beverage section; because you are positively famished, with the thirst of 10,000 desert camels. You spot a fine lemonade, all organic and stuff. It looks promising. You cannot wait to open it, so that you might quench your insatiable thirst, a respite of sorts from a long day of white collar labor.

While on the express line, two metrosexual males yap it up in front of you, as they place their stupid groceries on that stupid organic conveyor belt. They behave in a way that is meant to mimic television personalities, as if they were performing for the rest of the WFMI afternoon, rich people, crowd. They chat it up, giggling, while placing bags of organic carrots and celery onto the freakin’ organic conveyor belt. Then it’s my turn. I pay for my lemonade and make my way to the back of the store, where the Empress and her subjects await. I take a sip.

On Jupiter’s stone, today I am convinced, more than any other day in my life, that this country is filled with raving lunatics. My face felt like it was going to explode from pure heat. It was as if I drank an entire bottle of the hottest sauce in existence, only posing as God damned lemonade. I read the back of the bottle and learned it was spiked with chili peppers, and other such undesirables, making for an “irresistible” beverage that will give you a “natural high.”

I JUST WANT TO QUENCH MY THIRST, GOD DAMN YOU!

My stomach feels like it has 20 bombs inside of it filled with lemon flavored gunpowder.

Just when I thought driving around some random, and dead, homeless guy/girl/whatever, in the front seat of your car for 6 months was crazy, I am introduced to hot sauce masquerading as lemonade.

    Only (2) drinks that should be spicy in my book:

    1. A fine Bloody Mary.

    2. Reed’s Ginger Brew (red cap/extra ginger).

    Spicy lemonade = some gross shit man! Sorry you experienced that at all.

    I remember hearing about a guy who almost went to jail because he gave his kid Mike’s hard lemonade (this is when it first came out), not realizing it was spiked. You may not be very intestinally comfortable at the moment, but at least your not looking for a defense attorney!

    WFMI is great for everything but non-alcholic beverages. Their jihad against preservatives or whatever precludes them from offering Coke, Diet Coke, etc. When I go there for lunch on occasion, I bring my own can of soda.

    The lemonade is organic with organic hot shit in there. It can’t hurt you. You needed a waker-upper I suppose. Did it cost $5 or more?

    “… learned it was spiked with chili peppers.”

    If you are going to shop at overpriced hoity toity metro sexual filled WFMI, you will need to learn the proper language.
    It is not “spiked.”
    The proper phrase is “chili pepper INFUSED lemonade.
    Try to remember that you are not in Brooklyn with the lower classes.

    Since the March 2009 low, the trading day after any G-20 meeting has seen the NDX gap open higher 9 of 10 times. The only time it didn’t was 4/26/10 which marked an intermediate-term top leading to the flash crash and Summer decline.

    Regarding the dead passenger…what some people will do to drive in the Diamond Lane….For the Lemonaide, imho, it’s a great metaphore for QE…we think it’s sweet and will make us happy, but in the end will just burn our throats.

    I feel you! Go to WD-50 and just try to get through the tasting menu without punching out the waiter, the chef, the owner and your date. Keep your zucchini foam off my chocolate cake and your peppers out of my lemonade. “Different” isn’t ipso facto “good”, you pretentious foodie fucks. Makes me want to eat meatloaf and twinkies 24/7.

    Sirs of the internets, Methinks the fly was imbibing a concoction designed for weight loss… a ‘cleanse’ as it were… something the fly is in clear need of due to his diett.. the spicy lemonade diet… note the hot pepper on the ingredients list:

    * 2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice NOT BOTTLED JUICE!! (approx. 1/2 lemon),
    * 2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B maple syrup,
    * 1/10 Teaspoon or more cayenne pepper (hot red pepper), and
    * 1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) purified or spring water, NOT fluoridated water.

    It should have had a warning on the label. Most egregious! I suggest litigation, post haste!

    Are you sure you didn’t buy one of those cleanse program drinks that are so idiotically popular now? It’s the new get-thin scheme of 2010 that involves putting expensive crap in your body to avoid exercise. Yea, you’ll lose a couple pounds all while your jovial asshole is singing Ring of Fire to a bowl of regret.

    The Fly is most Blessed and has gotten off easy. At WFMI I recently bought a bottle of some sort of fermented mushroom-based drink, allegedly quite popular in some parts of Africa. Thought I’d try something new, expand my horizons. It was the second foulest thing I have ever put in my mouth (don’t ask).

    Ah so, amidst the despair there is finally, finally, a recognition of controlling genius in this whazooed society. The great FLY honors my Minerva by placing her pic to the left of his rant. Watch Minerva carefully, no Cassandra is she. And, never ever fuck with my pet owl Minerva.
