ZTL 156 Four Drunks, Four Gifts, One Christmas

SQ DrunkFishThis episode is part 2 of our yearly holiday spectacular.  Sunshine, Pumpkin, Starshine and Kalani are all here in the Zen Tiki Lounge.  We start with an intoxicating grog “The Pirates Wench” which we found at TikiLoungeTalk.com.  Check out the blog by Chris Pinto, great stuff and this drink will knock you on your ass.  After the inebriation sets in we all start exchanging some very tacky gifts with a dozen holiday exotica classics thrown in between.  Artists in include Arthur Lyman, Jerry Byrd, Heather Greene, Hilo Hattie, The Blue Hawaiians, Clifford Nelson, Jim “Kimo” West, Noelani and the Leo Nahenahe Singers.  Drinks, friends, music and gifts.  It’s a great party even if you can only listen along.  Mahalo for listening and see you all next year.

SQ DrunkFishAloha and welcome to our Holiday Spectaculaarrr part 1.  Sunshine and Pumpkin are toasting drinks in the Zen Tiki Lounge and giving our faithful listeners plenty of Holiday conversation topics and ideas for the merriest of cocktail filled gatherings.  Pumpkin is trying to keep her holiday a little Zen, all her gifts have a purpose and come in reusable wrapping.  Check out Baggu.com for simple reusable tote bags in tons of colors that you can toss your gifts into.  Best of all, no waste.  Pumpkin also gives us some tips on how to avoid the high calories at the party buffet line (check out all the tips at (Real Simple Magazine).  Sunshine simply suggests giving booze to your friends and family.  Everyone will eventually use or need a good drink so no waste and the glass or plastic bottle is 100% recyclable.  How wonderful.  There is plenty of drunken behavior and inappropriate comments to go around this podcast.  Tune in next week for our intoxicating Holiday music show and gift exchange.
