In honor of Cinco de Mayo, a Tom Robbins quote about tequila:

.
“Now tequila may be the favored beverage of outlaws but that doesn't mean it gives
them preferential treatment. In fact, tequila probably has betrayed as many outlaws
as has the central nervous system and dissatisfied wives.
.
Tequila, scorpion honey, harsh dew of the doglands, essence of Aztec, crema de cacti;
tequila, oily and thermal like the sun in solution; tequila, liquid geometry of passion;
Tequila, the buzzard god who copulates in midair with the ascending souls of dying
virgins; tequila, firebug in the house of good taste; O tequila, savage water of sorcery,
what confusion and mischief your sly, rebellious drops do generate!”
.
― Tom Robbins, Still Life With Woodpecker
