Wrong glass, Sir.
The first time that I looked at this bottle in a store, I almost dropped the damned bottle.

I'd hit it!
That is just absolutely disguting to me. OTOH, after reading Anthony Bourdain's description of it, I am SO into going to Vietnam and eating the still beating heart of a FUCKING cobra like a fucking oyster.

I'd have a heart attack on the spot if I saw one of those bottles. I have the biggest phobia of snakes. I can't even look at a picture of a snake without getting nervous. I even feel uncomfortable eating baby corn because it reminds me of a snake. No lie. :(

I don't like spiders, but my theory is that tarantulas, being large and hairy, are actually rodents, and therefore not scary, but not cuddly either. I'm sure science will catch up someday.Taosman;818222; said:People either fear snakes or spiders. I fall into the spider category!
Have come across some huge rattlesnakes while bicycling.
I give them plenty of respect.
I also drive around tarantulas! But, they are slow for spiders.

I cannot do this story justice, but will tell it nonetheless. It is a true story that features snake wine and an African-American Ohio State Alumni Award winner who was the dean of a leading American business school.
He married a woman from Shanghai and, soon after the wedding, they travelled to Shanghai to meet her family. Accompanied by only one South African friend, our intrepid hero finds himself in a small flat on about the 15th floor of a Shanghai apartment block in a fairly run-down quarter of Shanghai.
He has no idea exactly where he is, but he knows that no one speaks English except his friend and they both know that they are a long way from the tourist areas.
At this point, the bride's father brings out a jar containing "three-step snake wine". The snake is so named because it is so poisonous that, once bitten, a person dies before taking three steps. He is told that he must drink the "wine", which appears to be 100% alcohol, pickled snake, and snake venom, in order to finalize the marriage.
In his words, "I sat there thinking, I just signed over millions of dollars of life insurance to this woman. If I have been set up, we will never make it out of here alive! How did a brother from Cleveland end up in a mess like this, all the way over here on the other side of the world?"
Certain that the insult of refusing the drink might result in its own set of negative consequences--divorce being the least severe and a quick journey down about fifteen floors without an elevator or stairs being the worst--he drank the wine.
Everybody apparently got drunk and he was accepted into the family. He has a wonderful relationship with them to this day and now owns a flat in Shanghai.

So the real point is that the bride's father is a real estate agent and he got him drunk and sold him a run down flat in Shanghai??Steve19;818402; said:
