Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You have someone squirt a lime in your eye, you snort salt, and then you drink the shot of tequila.

I'd like to be rewarded with a jug of tequila after all that, I think. Nicely chilled, to boot.

That's super-ouchy to read, since the winds are high here, and I've probably done the equivalent of snorting that much salt just getting to my desk.

Weather experts -- are the Santa Ana winds characteristically hot? Last week, the winds were scalding. And then the fires came. Now they're much cooler, but strong enough to knock you around.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Only if you're Jewish.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

what, you don't break the glass first?

No. Once you're done you have someone kick you in the ass really hard.

Infamous for it, which is why they're known to bring the crazy along with the fires.

So these are either not Santa Ana winds, or weird ones, then.

What is even happening?

No. Once you're done you have someone kick you in the ass really hard.

Then disinfect the wounds with the remaining lime and salt.

Oh hell no:

All Things Considered, October 4, 2005 · A federal court in New York has ruled that the Salvation Army may hire and fire employees according to their religious beliefs -- even though it receives most of its money for social services from the government. The ruling earlier this week is considered a major court victory for the Bush administration.

Can someone explain to me how this is even remotely legal?

What is even happening?

Probably because the Salvation Army is a church. It's not what it is best known for, but it is a church first and foremost, with an emphasis on social work. How are they receiving the bulk of their money from the government? Is that the faith-based initiative stuff? I'd like to know which employees it means, and where the money goes.
