Holy shit that shit is sick. Today I had nothing to do and so I thought I'd try some Zima. I had a bottle left over from a six-pack (zix-pack?) I bought 10 miles from the NY-PQ border about a month ago while the band I'm in was on tour. The other bottles ended up all over the place; one went to ÿ for his 30th birthday (I haven't heard from him since so I assume he didn't like it very much) and I don't know what happened to the other 4. Frankly, I don't at all care. Zima, for those of you who've never had it, tastes roughly like lighter fluid and sprite. It's horrible and it makes you depressed. I think this was different from regular Zima; it was Zima XXX or something. Didn't Zima have an ad campaign about Zima replacing beer? It seems like whoever invented Zima thought that Zima would actually replace cocaine because all that sugar and alcohol makes you all anxious and keyed-up. If I had to pick between cocaine and Zima, I'd probably pick cocaine but honestly I'd rather not have to have either ever again in my life.

Actually, maybe they don't make zima anymore, and what you had has been sitting around on a shelf ever since, aging. Just be thankful you haven't been struck blind.

You do this while watching Dynasty reruns from your mauve-with-gold-fixtures jacuzzi after dinner at Tavern on the Green.

Oh I know, I'll claim to thoroughly enjoy something that is uniformly repugnant and offensive and then everybody will think I'm interesting and unorthodox"-sort of way, I mean she can chug zima and talk then smile in earnest afterwards.
