O frabjous day! Callooh Callay! One more reason to love February — it’s
National Margarita Day!
According to holidaycalendar.io,
This day is all about celebrating the beloved margarita, which is believed to have first been created in 1938 by a bartender at a Tijuana restaurant. The classic combination of tequila, lime juice and orange liqueur has become an iconic drink that's enjoyed all over the world.
And you know cats — whatever’s going down, they’ve got to get in on the act!
But first…
Welcome to PWB Theme Thursdays! If you’ve never visited or commented in a PWB (Pootie/Woozle/Birdie) diary before, come on in — the water is fine, and the folks are always friendly! A few quick guidelines:
- No trolling the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.
- Please do share pics of your fur kids! If you have health/behavior issues with your pets, feel free to bring it to the community.
- When it comes to problems, we may just have someone with experience who can help. So ask!
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly.
- There is no such thing as stealing a photo around here, but if you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
- There are some pics we never post: snakes, creepy crawlies, any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals. These are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated. If you keep posting banned pics...well then...the Tigress will have to take matters in hand. Or, paw.
Yes, Marguerite, there really is an official Margarita Day! And these pooties are all ready to celebrate it — from the classy:
to the casual:
And it’s not just the cats! Lots of animals will happily enjoy the dubious pleasures of imbibing:
(start at 1:05, watch till 3:10!)
Even though it’s Margarita Day, you don’t have to stick to margaritas:
But mixing spirits can lead to….uhh….interesting results:
Sometimes drinking can be hazardous:
There may be repercussions:
You may wake up in unexpected places:
So to help you prevent these unpleasant and completely unforeseeable outcomes, we introduce the new, patented Itteh Bitteh Imbibing Committeh Intoxication ScaleTM (now used by paw enforcement pawficers nationwide). Anything past Level Four is NOT recommended. Most things past Level Five can get you arrested!
Level 1: walk into a bar and order a drink — SAFE
LEVEL 2: enjoy a few brewskis with you buds during the big game — SAFE
LEVEL 3: decide to try a little karaoke — SAFE BUT SILLY
LEVEL 4: be convinced you dance like Sam Rockwell — SLIGHTLY DUBIOUS
LEVEL 5: tell all your friends “I love you, man!” — SOMEWHAT DUBIOUS
LEVEL 6: ask for another drink, the bartender says “Haven’t you had enough? — HIGHLY DUBIOUS
LEVEL 7: Chick next to you says hi. Immediately try to make out — ENTERING THE RED ZONE
LEVEL 8: demand "What did you just say??” of everyone and try to fight — DANGER, WILL ROBINSON
LEVEL 9: walking is getting a little wobbly — THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING
LEVEL 10: inflict your life story on strangers, whether they listen or not — DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
LEVEL ELEVEN: forget walking, you can’t even stand sober — FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT, CRASH APPROACHING
LEVEL TWELVE: end of the line. You’ll pay for this tomorrow — PARTY’S OVER, DUDE
*****
PLEASE NOTE!!!!
No pooties, kittehs, woozles, prairie woozles, snails or bears were actually intoxicated during the making of this diary!
(Those party animals in Africa, though — they’re outside our jurisdiction...)
Happy Thursday, and make sure to follow the Itteh Bitteh Imbibing Committeh’s guidelines if you do decide to celebrate! Or if water is your liquid of choice, make sure you share with a bear!
(I’m probably going to be a little bit late, so go ahead and start without me!)
