JIM WELLER Said to DAVE DRUM about Soccer-Mom Vans

JW>  DD> I remember waaaaaay back in the mid-1960s when Ford first
JW>  DD> introduced the  Econoline... until Dodge came out with
JW>  DD> first down-sized "mini-van". The it was Ford's turn to play
JW>  DD> catch up

JW> Lee Iacocca had the concept back in his Ford days but Henry Ford II
JW> killed the idea. Which was dumb. You'd think that the guy who
JW> invented the Mustang could do anything he wanted to after that.

The Econoline and the Mustang came out about the same time - aimed at 
different markets. The Mustang was a sort-of attempt to steal part of 
the sports car market from Corvette - which the by-now bloated 
Thunderbird had failed miserably at. The Econoline was aimed at the 
delivery and construction trades and became a sports car of choice for 
hippies and teens pursuing indoor sports.   Bv)=

JW>  JW> (She hates being called a soccer mom but admits to being a
JW> Cougar.)

JW>  DD> OK, I'll bite (no puns intended) what is a Cougar... in this
JW>  DD> context?

JW> A Cougar is in the same age group as a Soccer Mom but has a very
JW> different personality. Cougars are thirty something women, usually
JW> slim and in good shape, who prowl after younger men. When Raine took

What we in the lower 48 call a "cradle robber".  Bv)=

JW> up carpentry she got quite athletic and muscular and lost 40 pounds
JW> getting back to the same weight she was when I first met her, when
JW> she was 13. Most of her classmates at the trade school were 17-19
JW> year old guys and they were paying her a lot of attention despite
JW> the age difference. (She's not really a cougar as she didn't
JW> reciprocate and her boyfriend is in fact older than her.)

So, who's the cradle robber here?

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Cradle of Life
 Categories: Beverages, Booze, Citrus
      Yield: 1 shooter

            Crushed ice
     3/4 oz Spiced rum; such as Sailor
            - Jerry or Montecristo
     3/4 oz White rum
   2 1/4 ts Fresh squeezed lemon juice
   2 1/4 ts Fresh squeezed lime juice
   2 1/4 ts Fresh squeezed orange juice
     1/2 oz Orgeat *
       2 ds Angostura bitters
     1/2    Juiced lime shell; garnish
     1/2 oz Green Chartreuse; garnish

  * Orgeat is an almond-sugar syrup traditionally made from
  whole blanched almonds. The nut oil gives the syrup (and
  cocktails made with it) a richness that can't be duplicated
  with a cheap syrup made with almond flavoring and sugar.

  Place crushed ice in an Old Fashioned glass. Combine all
  remaining ingredients except garnishes in a cocktail shaker,
  shake vigorously, and pour into the glass.

  Place lime shell in the drink flesh side up. Fill with
  Chartreuse, carefully light the Chartreuse on fire (use
  caution, because the flame will be difficult to see), and
  serve. The guest is encouraged to pour the flaming
  Chartreuse over the cocktail at his or her leisure.

  This neo-tropical drink comes to us courtesy of Painkiller
  bar in New York City, and is originally the creation of
  Karin Stanley from Dutch Kills.
