Thieving Idiots Promise to Return Pilfered Booze, Eat Sh*t Taco
By Christopher St Cavish, Feb 23rd, 2010 | In Nightlife
Ha! The sticky-fingered French who swiped the world's most expensive Margarita ingredient from Cantina Agave on Sunday night -- a 21,000rmb bottle of Grand Marnier -- have been human-flesh-searched. It's good to be part of something like that.
One of you fearless community cops spotted someone you knew in Cantina's security video stills (here and here), and passed along the numbers for a friend of the thieves to Cantina Agave. Said friend of the thieves -- let's call him Dopey -- initially replied "But they were drunk!" Uh huh. So?
A couple back-and-forth phone calls later and that cute brunette slipping the bottle into her gray jacket, and her accomplice, wilted. Now, via Dopey, they're promising to bring the bottle back on Thursday, and eat a taco made of goose sh*t.
Also! Some of you in the peanut gallery have pointed out that no Grand Marnier sells for 21,000rmb. I asked co-owner Kelley Lee about it. She says: "The special edition is priceless. We already asked Grand Marnier if there are other bottles in China and apparently there aren't even any available in Europe."
I dunno -- I'm not a liqueur collector. Maybe it's the one made with bitter expat essence?
Just kidding about that taco.
