On this day in 1395:
John “Eleanor” Rykener, a male cross-dressing prostitute, is brought to court in London for “committing that detestable unmentionable and ignominious vice” in late medieval England’s only recorded case on same-sex intercourse (verdict unknown).
Too good to pass up but we must move on.
Sorry, can’t move on. On This Day for today is bizarre, a King abdicating, the first penis transplant, a Senator calling for trump to resign- the list goes on and on.
Sounds like today should be about bizarre beverages.
Option #1:
Screwball – peanut butter whiskey
Option #2:
Worm Bucket – Pour rum into bucket with ice, add pineapple juice, then grenadine. Top with Sprite. A Mardi Gras favorite.
Option #3:
Blue Sewer – I am sure it has many names but pour whatever you and your buddies have into a bowl, mix and drink.
- Screwball? Amazing what Safeway carries. Peanut butter whiskey, wrong! Note that it is 70 proof.
- What about Worm Bucket? I am a fan. On a float during a Mardi Gras parade what more could one ask for? Maybe beads to throw.
- Blue Sewers: Don’t remember any and that is probably for the best.
