An electric appliance for making cocktails

[Mattzilla]

Personally, I'm looking forward to some day having a kick ass shaking machine... for when I'm old and feeble and bedridden, I can have cocktails made next to my bed pan.

... until then, I'll go with the classic, upper-body, shaking machine...

O.K. I'll probably be pilloried for writing this but I did get one of those things....

Does it help to say at the time I really did need it? I had buggered my shoulder badly and couldn't even lift my arm - shaking was out of the question- even shaking with the other arm was painful from the jiggling. No, Really - I had to get cortisone shots with needles that looked the same gauge as what I used on horses.

It is a bizarre machine, but it did work - even the stirring part (but unlike the Chrono Mat it was a alternating rotation of a sealed shaker) and the shaking part worked well.

I even made a video of the damned thing:

Actually worked well and kept me in drinks during my convalescence.

I also featured in a flickr photo group called Monuments to Decadence - a photo study of consumerism gone mad ( "Anything that represents decadence - idealistically or materialistically. No porn, please! Definition: A process, condition, or period of deterioration or decline, as in morals or art; decay. Over the top consumerism, etc.") It seemed a fitting addition.

I admire your dedication to your cocktails and willingness to debase yourself for them.

Kind of expensive for a gag but I can see the chuckle factor playing with one.

If you saw the photos of me from Tales of The Cocktail I'm sure you could guess the answer to that one

Actually I was quite intrigued by the machine and sort of wanted to give it a try (even though I am a Luddite about such things usually) but after buggering my arm (and a long recovery) it made some sense . Now it gathers dust in a corner as it should by anyone who , even if they do not have a sense of shame, have some self respect.
