Liquid Swords...of Metal

This weekend, the Ageless Question (Does food taste better when cut with a machete?) was finally answered:
Yes.
Yes, it most certainly does.
This Saturday evening marked our first (Annual? Bi-annual? Seasonal?) Rooftop Machete Party.
Now, anyone who knows me also knows that when I plan something, anything, I create this Plato-Chained Ideal in my mind; well, this event was one for the Cave, folks.
We had an excellent turn out, several varieties of fruit (including some things that WEREN'T FRUIT AT ALL!!!) and a two and a half foot blade with which to massacre them.
The fruit, not the people.
After the rooftop hackery, we brought our sliced, diced and maimed trophies down to the kitchen where Kate Strauss, Purveyor of the Blade, Harbinger of Chaos, Mistress de La Machete made some kickass smoothies.
With real fruit.
Which we had just destroyed with an authentic Honduran machete.
Then came the Destruction of the Coconuts.
There will be footage up on YouTube soon, so I'll just bullet point it:

  • Hammer
  • Saw
  • Lime in the coconut (drunk bode up)
  • Coconut Memories
After that, in order to end on a fruit-related note, we all sat around and played Apples to Apples.
Then I ate a quarter of a watermelon in the bathtub, which was filmed by Ray.
It's...Lovecraftian.
That will also be up along with highlights from the roof, soon.
Thanks to everyone who came out and swung the blade.
And superspecial thanks to Kate, who rocks like the Grand Canyon and who made this epic, shimmering madness possible.
And who no longer has any culpability or legal responsibility for the aforementioned machete which she has presented to Christina and myself.
Dictated, not read.
