Yeah, it's absolutely shocking!* However a generator will run for hours
and offers me nothing. This big-block gadget might run for only a few
moments, and if I'm really clever, I could get a margarita or two out of
the deal.

Worth it? You Be The Judge.

I think we need to be looking at PTO's for Vanagons to drive oversize
margarita blenders. This is the Future. Those with upgraded engines can
boast (no one as boastful as someone with a Real Engine) about how
quickly they can blend up five gallons of margaritas. 60 seconds, how
about 55 seconds?!?

Those of use with puny 1.9l will have to be satisfied with a 90-second
blend.

The buzz, my friend, is the same.

*I got a neighbor two houses up the street with an enormous cigarette
boat trailered in front of his house. He likes to work on it. On
occasion he fires up the engine, which loudly stutters then emits a
blast of sound that causes immediate heart stoppage for me and everyone
nearby. I've been looking for a warning siren or factory whistle he
could blow before firing that thing up.
