Botstock is 3 weeks away, I'm so excited that my short shorts are soaked!

19 days and counting. The band's booked, the goat's hand selected and the Chibuku is 17 days from being started. Do you know where your children are?

Ask Shakes- The Botstock Goat

Q: I read somewhere that if you mix goatmilk icecream, corn, and two bottles of tassenberg and boil it for twenty minutes then you get the same taste as chibuku. Is that true?

A: You are very close, but you are missing one ingredient for rich man's shake shake. In order to get the true affects of the shakes, you need to add 1/2 cup pure vinegar. This hits the tongue on the back corners near the epiglotis, the same part responsible for the gag reflex and dry heaving. Also, try to add a cup of grape nuts, not only does it add fiber, but it leaves chunks on the upper lip. Just like the real thing! Good luck!
