One thing I love about Texas: Frozen daiquiris brought to your car

[flamingyouth]

Well, I don't know if it's technically a daiquiri. It's some sort of frozen concotion with alcohol, kind of like a drunken Slurpee. They come in 32 flavors, one of which is called the Pink Panty-Dropper. :rofl: I'm partial to the Blue Hawaiian, however.

They're wrapped in this cheesy saran wrap so it's not techinically an open container when you drive off with it. :crazy:

Very tasty and cheap. :9

1. Could it be a Margarita? Love 'em myself! -eom

[flamingyouth]

You can get a margarita flavor, but I doubt it has real tequila in it.

They're from the Eskimo Hut in San Marcos, but last weekend, we saw that they had one in Beaumont too. :D

[Justitia]

5. My son lives in San Marcos. I hope you had a fun time in TX!

We are not all RW whack-jobs here.
We do have good food and drink!

:hi:

[flamingyouth]

6. Does he go to school here?

My SO does. And yes, there are many, many great people in Texas, as well as that wonderful food and drink! :hi:

[Justitia]

8. yes, he goes to Austin Comm College & lives/works in San Marcos

Awww, now I miss him :cry:

I'm in Houston.

9. It's a long drive, I know

We just did a round trip over the weekend, plus we went down to Beaumont/Port Arthur/Port Neches. :hug:

2. for me: taco cabana

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. So wait...

they bring alcoholic beverages right to your car...and you drive off with an alcoholic Slurpee? It just doesn't compute in my brain...that said, I wouldn't mind having one right around the corner from me especially on a humid night like tonight

[flamingyouth]

4. Yeah, that's pretty much what it is.

You drive up, they come out, take your order and then bring you an alcoholic drink wrapped in a flimsy plastic bag. :D

7. We have drive-through daiquiri places in Louisiana

We get styrofoam cups with lids on them that have the opening for the straw on the lid "securely sealed" with a piece of scotch tape. Oh...and they hand you the straw with the drink. Just drive up to the window and drive off with a margarita! (with the tape securely in place over the opening for the straw, of course!):)

11. That's the first place we go when we get to Metairie

I like to mix a chocolate cow with a white russian, it taste like a milk shake, but it's definitely time to park the car for the night once you drink one.

[finecraft]

13. That sounds good!

I'll have to try one of those next time!

[flamingyouth]

16. Your sig line is awesome

:rofl:

[finecraft]

17. Thanks!

Photoshop is my friend :) I taught myself how to use it when I took up photography as a hobby to work with my pictures, but I get way more use out of it making t-shirts and bumper stickers to piss off the local wing-nuts! My sigline is my latest bumper sticker.

10. I still have no idea what a "Ragin' Cajun" is.

:rofl:

[flamingyouth]

12. It tasted suspiciously like my MaiTai

I think they just have several vats back there, all organized by color. :rofl:

[gizmo1979]

14. Still no open container law in Texas?

That's unreal.

[flamingyouth]

15. It's sealed in a plastic bag...

I guess that's how they get around it. :crazy:

It would never fly in my home state of Washington...

[Maddy McCall]

20. Yes. The ones in Louisiana cover the straw slot with a piece of masking..

tape. Thus, not an open beverage. :silly:

[gizmo1979]

21. That would be funny

if not so sad.Drunk driver just killed two kids yesterday in WI>

[datasuspect]

18. oh yes there is

but sometimes they do let you slide if you're not trashed. just talk like a good ole boy and have a local address on your license.

[Maddy McCall]

19. I got engaged at the "Drive Thru Beer Barn" on ...

Hwy. 80 in Longview, TX. Same basic scenerio as the daiquiris, except they served beer. Anyway, I'll tell you about how that all came about some other time. :D

[flamingyouth]

22. Yeah, MM, that might need a thread of its own one of these days.

:D

[Midlodemocrat]

23. OMG. That alone would be worth moving to Texas

:rofl:

[flamingyouth]

24. I tell you - between that and the campy "art" I never want to leave.

:rofl:
