Jeffrey Rowland's OVERCOMPENSATING

Adventures in Tequila Marketing




The day of the election I went to the liquor store and said "give me a pint of your finest tequila!" The guy pulled the bottle down off the shelf and said "thirty five dollars." I replied, "give me a pint of your second-finest tequila instead."

Much comicking this weekend, and moving next week into my own private spot in Northampton, with a sound-proof drawing room! I am becoming increasingly affected by outside forces in my rapidly advancing... maturity.

how big a bottle was that $35 one? i mean, 35 bucks doesn't strike me as all that expensive for a bottle of tequila--not that i'm a cultured drinker in any sense.

or maybe i'm reading too much into what is simply the re-telling of a classic joke?

Five since I've been here.

It was a pint, I should have specified that I asked for a pint.

I'm way too white to drink tequila. No problem going down, but it never leaves the way i'd prefer.

Has anyone asked why Tallahassee isn't on the cast page? Also, why isn't Tallahassee on the cast page?

Ah yes, the lovely advancing of age. I thought I was now incapable of getting thoroughly crapfaced drunk, until recently on our cruise I drank 11 snifters of cognac within 4 hours and did. not. DIE!!

For $35 a pint that tequila better come with a pretty Mexican girl to massage you while you drink it.

Don't worry, Jeff, you're not old yet. Now me, on the other hand, yeah, I'm getting old.

I've had the $35-a-pint tekeelur. After the third shot you won't miss the pretty Mexican girl.

I may be mistaken, but is Tallahassee wearing the skinned remains of Winston as a hat?? She is crazy.

I always knew that Econolodge dame was bad news but I like her idea of a good drink.

I once distilled my own stove-top tequila that involved no cactus and was called "UNFAIR MESOPOTAMIAN GOD", with a picture of an angry eye over a hulking ziggurat. The eye is angry because it knows what you are about to do for the evening, and disapproves of the lack of goat sacrifice.

Ahhh... The quicly advancing maturity. I have reached the point where I don't listen to music in the car because it's distracting from the drive.

You call it old age, I call getting in touch with the part of life I've been missing out on. The present.

It also helps turn my brain off, for short periods at least.

i dont know, if you are making your own tequila, i think its assumed that by then the pants are long, long gone.

so another vote for no pants.

Lee Salem of the Universal Syndicate must be dialing up the lawyers about that Calvin and Hobbes ripoff label. Had Bill Watterson licensed his work like some other cartoonist (ahem, Charles Schultz, Jim Davis, Scott Adams) he'd be a gazillionaire - instead all we have are the strips.
