VOODOO CUP
By RYAN HUME
According to most cal-
endars, spring had sprang
by the time I made it back
to the Voodoo Room on a
recent Tuesday afternoon,
though, technically, the
forecast had been calling
for April showers and ex-
pectations of sun are a bit
far-fetched in our area, give
or take a day or two. It was
cold and the streets were
empty and it was pouring
and I was walking around.
Luckily, Erik Anderson at
the Voodoo Room was
already working on spring
drinks and I got to taste a
new one, reminiscent of a
Pimm’s Cup, but without
the threat of those pesky
cucumber burps. Think of
the sun; take a sip; squint
on it; don’t look outside.
Directions
Pour one part, or one
ounce, of the Painted Lady
into a cocktail shaker along
with the Pimm’s. Add ice to
the top and then the lime
juice. Shake until cold and
pour into an iced fl ute, or
chimney, and garnish with
the lemon.

will work, the bartender
says.
is itself probably a blend of
“blob” and “gob.” Lobster, lo-
pister prior to 1311, comes
from the Old English loppe,
meaning “spider.”

Globster
[glɒb• stər]
noun
1. any large unidentifi ed
mass of marine fl esh that
washes up onto the shore;
often revealed to be a whale
carcass, some globsters
have gained notoriety or
fascinated the public due
to their size or peculiar
features, like the Tasmanian
Globster discovered on 1960
Origin:
The word is attributed to
nature writer and cryptozo-
ologist Ivan T. Sanderson,
who coined the term in
1962, obviously a portman-
teau combining the mean-
ings and sounds of “glob”
and “lobster,” to describe
the mysterious mass that
washed ashore in Tasmania
in 1960 and captured the
world’s attention for some
time after. Glob arrives in
the early 20th Century and
“Commonly known as a ‘globster’
— a rotting corpse of a whale that is
often barely recognizable – it came
ashore around Warrenton on Monday
morning. The body is just north of the
wreck of the Peter Iredale in an area
where the beach narrows and where
there may not be as much sand as
there appears to be. This is one reason
why the foul-smelling globster won’t
be buried and will instead be left as
food for local wildlife.”
—“Smelly ‘Globster’ of a Dead Whale
“That famed — or infamous
term — globster, with its paranor-
mal legends, is really just a mass of
decayed fl esh from some sea creature
that is so decomposed it’s absolutely
unrecognizable. However, the term
globster has shades of meaning
derived from this phenomenon being
interpreted as something otherworld-
ly, like a sea monster — probably
back in less enlightened times. It’s
also sometimes referred to as a blob.”
