Sambuca is a horrible thing to drink & should be banned from most bars. I mean really what else is Sambuca used for besides that? Another question is when is Sambuca a natural second choice when a Monkey’s Lunch is not available (a milk based kaluha drink which is actually quite delicious). No, they don’t have a good tasting drink, they only have Satan’s breathe so let’s buy that.
I blame the Sambuca for the following incidents. A: trading my tank top w/ Endie’s shirt in the bar (relax, I had on 2 tank tops) He however, only had one shirt and more importantly, my bout with nature just before I arrived home.
After being squawked at by random guys outside the pizza place (apparently I have some junk in my trunk which was met with giggles from Bruce… my protector) Bruce and I made our long voyage back into the west end. For those that don’t know, the west end is densely populated with apartment buildings. Some are new but mostly the buildings are older. Mine was built in the 60′s. This has given the area some time to develop it’s shrubbery, nature & trees. Needless to say, it’s a haven for all creatures of the night namely racoons & skunks.
I see them both frequently. It never shocks me too much. I usually see skunks rummaging around flower beds looking for garbage.
So as we were walking down the sidewalk, Bruce suddenly stops me and said to hold on.
There on the grassy divider between the sidewalk and the road, is a skunk sniffing around. He didn’t want us to pass it. In my grand frame of mind I scoffed at him stating I see these ALL the time & we’re fine. So I traipsed past while keeping my eye on him the whole time (because that will protect me?)
So sure enough right when I was directly in front of the animal did it’s tail not only raise up but I heard the sound of something spritzing the air. So naturally I squealed & ran as fast as I could. As I ran off, all I could hear was “What did I tell you?” from across the street.
I don’t know what logic I was using that prevented me from just walking around the animal but I was luckily far enough away to not get coated by the beast. Good thing too, otherwise Bruce would still be hosing me down with Tomato soup.
