How to build your winter SHOT SKI!

I know the semester is over, and I was probably the only one sad to not have one more blog post because I had many more ideas, so this is my last post for you all. Last christmas my boyfriends mother made ourselves and his cousin a shot ski. Which is a single ski blade with three to more shot glasses attached to it. Which does mean you should take your shots within a group of three or more, at one time!

Below includes pictures and instructions on how to make your own. I have included step in writing by www.backcountry.com and info-graphics by www.stellerjae.com

:) Enjoy!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

1. A drill
2. Safety glasses and a disposable particulate mask
3. A 1-3/8in Forstner drill bit
4. Measuring tape
5. A permanent marker
6. Heavy-duty clear silicone adhesive (I use Loctite Stik’N Seal Outdoor)
7. Four or more thick polycarbonate or acrylic shot glasses. This thing is going to be dropped, stepped on, strapped to the roof of your car, and generally abused by drunken idiots, so plastic > glass.
8. An old pair of wood-core skis. The longer the better, but anything over 190cm should suffice. Avoid skis with metal laminate layers as they are harder to drill, and try to find skis with sidewalls intact. Look for iconic models, neon colors, and crazy graphics. Why do you need a pair of skis? In case you screw up, that’s why.
How To Make It
1. Step 1: Measure the Base. With your donor ski on the ground, measure the ski from the forward base-contact point to the rear base-contact point. ... 
2. Step 2: Mark the Shot Glass Placements. ... 
3. Step 3: Drill, Baby, Drill. ... 
4. Step 4: Add the Shot Glasses. ... 
5. Step 5: Wait. ... 
6. Step 6: Party.

I'm a Bartender, by Robert H. Nelson.

A few weeks ago, this editorial by Robert H. Nelson started to float around Facebook. I know I have ranted a lot about what to do or not do in a bar, but Robert H. Nelson, gives a great representation on what truly goes on in our heads, as bartenders, when we encounter certain things, through-out a shift. I promise it's a good read, and a little funny!
