Reinforcing our annual youth sports "Don't Be a Dick" PSA. Steve is psyched that his Buckeyes from THE Ohio State University won the National Championship. Brandon, and the rest of society, are thrilled the Philadelphia Eagles snuck out of their snowy game with another W. Brandon is also very upset about paper goods.
Creepazoids: A group of military deserters traipse across a post-apocalyptic future, dancing between the acid rain drops. Before a big storm rolls in, they have to take shelter in what turns out to be an uber-secure government research facility, that they are able access by one guy kicking a wood door one time. After they find a veritable oasis of medical supplies, hot running water, and citrus fruits that somehow haven't gone bad yet, they find out that the building is inhabited by some deadly creatures. A bipedal ant kinda lookin' thing and Chuck-E-Cheese-reject rats, hopped up on either the excess or the lack of amino acids, pick them off one-by-one as they fight for their lives.
Creepazoids final grade:
Steve: Good practical effects. I love hallways. Some of the 80s tunes were rad. 3.20/5.0
Brandon: A good way to space out for an hour or so. Some good unintentional humor. Deduction for protracted baby fight scene. 3.08/5.0
Cocktail of the Week:
1 ½ oz vodka
½ oz Blue Curaçao
½ oz Midori melon liqueur
1 oz fresh lime juice
½ oz simple syrup
Splash of soda water
Optional garnish: lime wheel or a neon-colored cocktail umbrella
Combine all non-fizzy ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Shake to chill and combine, then strain into a rocks glass over ice. Top with sparkling water. Garnish with lime wedge/slice and cherries.
Cocktail Grade: We turned our brains over to the AI this week, as much of the world does on a regular basis. Surprisingly enough, it actually worked out pretty well this time. A sweet cocktail that turned out better than expected. Using a slightly larger glass for round two, and adding a little more club soda diluted the sweetness a bit and improved it. 4.2/5.0
