    Gary that is a great image! I love your worms.
    Tao - down here in the desert where Gary and I live the best alchohol comes from Mexico. It is called Mescal made from the Mescal cactus. And guess what! They put a little worm at the bottom of each bottle. You are a lucky person if you get the worm. I have eaten a few of them in my days. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

    The Indians of Northern Mexico refer to Peyote as Mescalito. I wonder if there is a connection?

    I guess I'm mentally still at 16 :-)

    The slimy glowing worms and bubbles are brushes by the way. Xara lets you create some really cool custom brushes. The eyeball was a bit harder.

    Gary's eye is like a bad hallucination, after seeing it run don't walk to the nearest AA meeting! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Tee hee!

    Bruce I thought the liquor made from cactus juice with the worm in the bottle is Tequila. What's the difference?

    Well I think that mescaline is the drug in the cactus. This is in the peyote cactus and in the agave , I thnk ? that is used to make Mescal and Tequila.
    Mescal and Tequila are basically the same. But there is a version of Mescal that has the worm in the bottle. Here are some helpfule links for reading on these subjects.
