Default Texas Tea

Here is a little story with a bite to it!


Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission officials were rattled last Thursday by the discovery of over 400 bottles of illegal booze, each containing a 10-inch rattlesnake in the bottle, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

After receiving a tip several weeks ago, TABC agents raided Bayou Bob’s Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch in Palo Pinto County after the reptile-infused vodka was sold to undercover agents, the paper reported. 411 bottles of the serpent sauce were seized.

“In my 20 years with the TABC, I’ve never seen anything like it,” Sgt. Charlie Cloud told the Star-Telegram.

TABC officials told the Star-Telegram that they plan to file charges this week for the sale of alcohol without a permit and possession of alcohol with the intent to sell. Penalties for those charges include up to a year in the county jail and fines up to $1,000 upon conviction.

Infusing alcohol with snakes or scorpions is believed to possess aphrodisiac properties, TABC officials told the paper. The practice, in which alcohol is poured over the body of a snake or scorpion, is popular in Asian cultures.

Talking Pack....

You know I would, but then all them mountain boys would be trying it, and they would start telling people about it and the next thing you know, I would end up in the stockade doing more time than Al Capone! (Besides the Revenuer's got it all before I could get any!)

36 and a wake up!

Default ummm...

Well you can keep the snakes, and scorpion thing. Too old to worry about if I can get it up or not. If I can great, if I can't well just wait until I can. Takes me all night to do what I used to do all night.
