29 - Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

Poo-tee weet? Get lost in time and space with us as we try to make it through the bombing of Dresden and many trips to Tralfamadorian. We raise a glass to feminism, adore scathing commentary, and try to come up with other words for 'boring.' While the movie might hit all the right beats from the book, it also kills the whole point of the book. So it goes.

Episode Drink: The "So It Goes" (Actually called The Slaughter-house Five)

1 oz Cachaça, Novo Fogo
1 oz Lime juice
1 oz Pineapple Gum Syrup, Small Hand Foods
1 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao (scant ounce)
3 ds Absinthe, Vieux Pontarlier Verte

Instructions

Combine in tin and shake well. Double strain to coupe

Our Drinking Game for this Story

Take a drink:

Every time you read, "So it goes."
Every time Billy is on Tralfamadore
Every time you think the book makes a very important point but you're maybe just not getting it and need to Google it.
Every time you remember that feminism has actually come a long way and it is evident in either the books or the movies because women had to live through that. Then drink again to celebrate the distance we've come.

Cheerful Ears:

Jordan: Hysteria

Em: How Did This Get Made
