Drunken Howto: Make An Emergency Shotglass

With a creme egg theme.

  1. Find friend with Creme egg obsession. Charge friend with purchase of eggs, thus invoking well-known clause of calorie counting exception list stating that it Doesn't Count if you didn't buy it yourself.
  2. Buy vodka. Or if you're called Nayla, don't buy vodka, because it's an appalling thought that you would even consider drinking at your age. On a more general note, LaceOverSand takes no responsibility for cracked skulls, vomit, or failed relationships. If you want to drink, drink responsibly. Actually, you can drink irresponsibly just as well, but the next morning you better take responsibility for your irresponsibility, and what I'm trying to say is Don't Sue.
  3. Do NOT, I repeat do NOT, start drinking immediately. Two steps later involves a sharp knife. You're going to need to be either half sober, or to have an appropriately sober supervisor. I'll let you know when you can start drinking, don't you worry about that.
  4. Carefully peel back the foil on your selected egg. Fold down carefully, and allow to scrunch up at the bottom to provide steady base. This will allow you to place your egg on the table without worry that it will roll over. Some eggs are also less than sealed at the bottom, and the foil will help prevent the needless loss of alcohol.
  5. The knife step. Are you still sober? If not, piss off, cheating false-starting scum. Otherwise, get your standard kitchen knife and stick the pointy end in the chocolate about a quarter of the way down the egg. Warily ease the top of the egg off. You can try the sawing action if you so wish, but experimental technique thus far explored suggests this will not be worthwhile. This is probably the most difficult step. You must get the top off the egg without cracking it. If you find that you have not cut far enough down the egg, ie that you cannot see a clear circle of fondant, then gradually chip away at the edges.
  6. Feel free to eat spare egg parts, they will not be needed. You may now, if you so wish, take a small drink upon yourself. Personally I am inclined to consider this rather bad form, and that you should wait until preparation of your egg is complete.
  7. Scoop out the fondant with the handle of a teaspoon. Consumption is thoroughly appropriate, and ecologically friendly. Although possibly not quite as nutritionally friendly. I would strongly recommend AGAINST dipping fondant in vodka. Is foul. Take my word for it, is on a par with butterscotch schnapps as Disgusting Thing World Should Never Have Thought Of.
  8. Moderation provided by K. gives opportunity for greater thoroughness in this process. Once the bottom of the egg is in sight, give up on spoon handle and use finger instead. Because if there's a messier alternative available, it should always be chosen.
  9. Your egg is now basically prepared. Pour vodka into egg, and down. Be forewarned that it will taste far worse than you could possibly have imagined. And you thought there wasn't much worse than straight vodka already...
  10. Keep drinking. It gets better. Trust me. Nobody else did at the time, but I was drinking out of mine all night. Possibly because otherwise I might have had to do some washing up.

[Note]: Not that we tried this one, but it's probably not a good idea to drink anything that is habitually ignited from this receptacle.

Heh, it's probably as nice as 'jaffa cake soaked in vodka' which I tried last night.
