MNSpeak: Talk
Nightshift: MnSpeak cocktail
Inspired by: the MILF lover from today's posts. The title: The Edina Screamer. What it should be: There's two opinions. Either it should be the sort of drink you give to an Edina housewife to get her in the mood for a little screaming, or it should be the sort of drink that makes you feel as an Edina housewife might feel at the moment when she screams the loudest. Suggested ingredients: Midori. We'll vote on the best version, and, at the next first evar MnSpeak get together, we will drink the new cocktail. Let's get to work, people.

Minnesota Passive-Aggressive...
A shot of Vanilla Rum after which the buyer squirts some tobasco in your eye...
For a Minnesotan, something that gets you God's Own Drunk but doesn't result in a hangover. Thus, you're plagued by the guilt of getting drunk, but not suffering for it.
lolmao@alie.
It won't top Hedy's cabintini in originality, but it would be interesting to have MNspeak original drinks.
"The lurker"
"The troll"
"The regular"
"The better-when-rex-was-here"
"The Vanilla Wang Thread"
"The broken aggregator"
"The bartel cartel"
"The 7QQ" etc.
There could even be drinks named after people.
"The abstinance on the beach" (named after Wayne)
"The kwatt" (that would naturally be just a Coke)
"The josie spit it out her nose"
The Anti-Regular...
A shot of skunk wine proceeded by 2 months of bitching about it...
When I think "Edina Housewives" I think Tejas, so I'd throw some Cuervo into the mix.
Ed- see I think of cheap Chardonnay and expensive blow when someone says "Edina Housewives."
I would never spit good liquor out my nose! I'd rather choke and die laughing.
God, Midori. I drank a ton of Midori sours in college. I think my liver is still green and puckered.

Oh. I thought that was your ******. I guess that would explain the puzzled look that came across your face.
I'm thinking that the "Edina Housewife" should be something like Jack Daniels and Bitters -- I don't know why.
With an ephedra chaser, Douglas...
...ewwwwwwww.
Leave it to Kwatt to take it too far...hahaha!
Welcome to the nite shift, baby.
But the night shift is supposed to be dirty fun, not dirty icky.

I totally got the image of Kevin snapping on some latex gloves just now...
Latex gloves come later...Thursday night is cleaning night.
But the night shift is supposed to be dirty fun, not dirty icky.
But it was fun for me. Is ok, you're not the first girl to say that.
1 part Mickeys malt liqueur
1 part Red Bull
serve straight.
It ought to have a bit of Goldschlager. And some sort of appetite suppressant.
Multiple shots of whatever was trendy in New York and Los Angeles a year ago.
lol
nice work The Rat.
As per our earlier conversation, I don't mind exactly what booze is in the drink as long as the rim of the glass is coated in cake mix.
"The Poop Thread" drink:
dark cream de cacao over
chocolate ice cream
served in nateek's glass rim coated with chocolate cake mix.
I don't remember what they're called, but my buddy 'The Slasher' and I were drinking something that consisted of 1/2 Jagermeister and 1/2 Rumpleminz the night we were banned for life from Liquor Lyle's.
Damn, I haven't heard from The Slasher in years... the last I heard of him he was living in his van managing a Hooters somewhere in Florida.
MMMMMmmmm MNspeak AFTERHOURS....
I should ask for an opinion from the Town Talk. They know all about mixing drinks as well as Edina Housewives.
Unfortunately, most of my mixed drink experiments end up in disaster. I won't even try.
that's affectionately referred to as "The Dead Nazi"
most of my mixed drink experiences end up with my wife saying, "get that thing away from me".

Uh...are you sure that's a mixed drink experience?
many good suggestions but I vote for The Rat's idea. . . of course, you have to serve this sort of trendy in a designer bag from an overpriced boutique
Please - someone come up with a recipe for the "Vanilla Wang".
Bartender Vanilla Wangs for everyone!
I know -- make a Sex on the Beach but charge $1000 and make the men beg for it...
Vanilla Wang?
Bailey's Irish Cream, Vanilla Extract, and Chinese Rice Wine...or not.
vanilla wang
Equal parts Soju & Vanille Royale. Garnish with 2 cherries and a straw.
"The Edina"
One shot tequila
One shot rum
pat her on the bum
some grapefruit juice
and seven up
mix it in a plastic cup
with ice
tell her she's real nice
tell her you like her hair
tell her she's light as air
get a sitter for the night
and turn off the lights
Dead Nazis! Thanks grote.
Until that night I never knew you could get banned for being too drunk from Liquor Lyle's.
Now I know that you can, but I still can't remember what we did to get banned. No doubt it was justified.
Sheila-
Awesome.
If we can get Sailor Martin to sing it, I think it's a contender.

Here's the perfect MN Speak-easy cocktail.
Pour two shots of Phillip's Snow Shoe Grog (peppermint schnapps and brandy) over ice in a shaker. Pour into a martini glass. (Isn't that what Edina housewves drinkj milk out of anyway?) And enjoy. If it has to have Midori, simply line the martini glass with a drop of the green liquor, then fill with ice-cold grog!
We could even get MN's very own Dean Phillips to make it official at our party!
Go Hornets!
It seems like the Vanilla Wang should have a punishing amount of liquor in it, so putting the wang in the vanilla, as it were.
"The Raindog"
4 oz Jameson 12 Year Old
1 Maraschino Cherry
1 Angry Fucking Tirade
Straight up. No Chaser.
(Must tie cherry stem with your tongue or you buy the round.)
I don't know what would be in the Edina Screamer, I just know that ladies aren't allowed to purchase it themselves.
"The Regretful Post"
1/3 vodka, 1/3 sprite, 1/3 oj and a splash of grenadine.
By the time you realize how much alcohol you've been drinking, it's too late.
Nice try.
All right, because youse asked for it:
"The Edina Screamer," sung by Sailor Martin, lyrics by Sheila.
ROFL Sailor Martin
that was the best thing that has ever happened to me
wow....just, wow. I always figured that Tom Waits had borrowed heavily from Louis Armstrong, Tin Pan Alley and Captain Beefheart...but now I realize that he was just channeling Sailor Martin for all these years.
Kudos to the Sailor and sheila. Brilliant.
Sailor Martin, Sheila, I'm speechless. And paralyzed with giggles.
did the mysterious krad ever show up yesterday?
Oh for the love of Zeus. Sailor Martin has provided today's mountain top experience. I don't know what it says about my humor tastes, but that li'l f-er kills me.
Shouldn't any libation tagged with Edina contain Godiva and Starbucks liqueurs?
How I've missed Sailor Martin!
That inspired Vlog Santa to try a dramatic reading of "The Edina" but he didn't get very far before breaking character:
http://blogumentary.typepad.com/chuck/vlogsanta.wav
btw - Goldschlager and appetite suppressant gets my vote.
We bow to the awesomeness of the poetry and the singing
talent of Sheila & Sailor Martin.
"bow" "applause, applause" "bow".
I actually have been working on a new cocktail. When it is ready to be announced to the world, I'll do so through the Bottle Gang and MNspeak.
Select judges will be notified soon of the tasting time and place.
oh. my. god.
I go away for two days and look what happens!
Sailor martin's voice is so dreamy!!!
I hope Sailor Martin comes to the next MNspeak Get Together. The second one. I think we officially had the first one now. The LOLcat gods were pleased.
ay, um, the Edina Screamer as sung by Sailor Martin: just beautiful. If there was ever a reason for MNspeak to exist, this was it.
