8. It isn't bad.
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 03:08 AM by JVS
I think I might make the Astronaut with an American whiskey.

You know the whole Whiskey=American=Astronaut, Vodka=Russian=Cosmonaut and the whole Tang being a space food thing

And, yes, I'm going to hell for that.

34. You can't make a screwdriver that way, but
it sounds like a perfectly cromulent drink -- it's just not a screwdriver.


Couldn't vote because you asked one question: "Can I make a screwdriver with TANG?", but your answers: "Yes, that sounds like a perfectly cromulent drink" "No, that would be absolutely horrid", match a different question: "Does TANG and vodka sound like a good drink?"

35. One time, in band camp....
Actually, it was during an orchestra trip in HS, the brass section did smuggle into our hotel rooms the makings for Tang Screwdrivers.

Being the French Horn player, I had to smuggle the vodka 'cause I had the most room in my case. That, plus the trombone players were smarter than I was and, being trombone players, they were all under constant suspicion anyway.

French Horn players are like Bart Simpson's butterfly. "No one EVER suspects the BUTTERFLY! Mwahahahahaha!" :D

47. Why not just dump half a cup of sugar into a glass of vodka?
That's about what the Tang is, mildly orange-flavored sugar.
