Snake Wine

[4thIDvet]

Ban Me Thout.. Coffee capitol of Vietnam..
Was well north of there on the border, do not think we got down there.
Hell all the mountains and trees look the same.. Beautiful countryside though..
Be careful in that A.O.. Lot of agent orange still giving the poor people problems. Especially the kids..
My God your wife can shoot, good for her.. The correct weapon in a Woman's hands, out shoot a Man any-day.. As kids, while we were punching each other in the nose, they were working on hand eye coordination stuff.
My girlfriend loves my .45s.. Has a bit of a temper, I keep them locked up.

You guys are nuts! and I mean that in a good way.

Rice wine is good, snake is good.

What is the purpose of mixing them? I imagine after a couple months they're really stinkin'.

It doesn't stink. The alcohol preserves them. Besides you dump the snakes out after 2 years.

Its the venom, that denatures (unfolds) in the presence of ethanol that makes it special Its a tonic, I tells ya!

Plus it's just way cool and exclusive. Even the elites don't have cobra wine!

Back in 89 on one of my trips.. They used to raise Cobras, smack them over the head, stuff them and sell them to tourists..
You could get one fighting a stuffed mongoose also for a few more bucks..
PETA or Save the Spotted Owls must have put a stop on them. Did not see any last trip..
My Bro, in Cambodia now. Drank some of that cobra wine in a whore house with some L.O. friends he knows over there.. Same stuff SouthTexasGuy put up..
He said it tasted good. But you instantly pass blackout and go too insane..
L.O. he was with, took out his revolver and emptied it into the ceiling..
Not sure if he killed anyone upstairs?
Good way, I guess, if you want to save money at the bars.. Few sips of that stuff and you go friggen nuts..

Hell yah.. When you go too a restaurant and you really want to impress your date..
"Yes Sir. I think we will have a bottle of your 2008 Cobra Wine."
Chicks really dig it..
