Not only is this weekend featuring the Visual Tour of the Russian Art Museum, but snakes alive it's the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's fateful trip into space with a big ol' party to celebrate. (ok, the actual anniversary is April 12, but there's no reason to not throw a big party this weekend featuring Middle Distance Runner and R2-D2 ("Sci-fi attire is encouraged at Yuri’s Night! Star Wars enthusiasts representing the Empire and the Rebel Alliance will patrol Yuri’s Night. Accurate replicas of Star Wars droids (including R2-D2!) built by the Washington, DC Metro Area R2-D2 Builders Club will trundle around the party.")
Today's drink should be drunk in honor of the brave men and women in the International Space Station that can't seem to get along (Astronauts and Cosmonauts need to learn to share!). In the spirit of solidarity here is a Screwdriver (which you all have had, I'm sure) and a Fuzzy Cosmonaut (maybe not so much) which is a Screwdriver in which Tang is substituted for the orange juice.

- 2 parts orange juice
- ice
Stir all ingredients together in a highball glass. Drink! Prevent scurvy!

God loves a cheerful giver.
Hello, is this President Clinton?
Good! I figured if anyone knew where to get some Tang, it'd be you. Shut up!
Looking up "Tang" on Google Image search brings up quite a few results that aren't drink related. Now my boss probably thinks I'm a freak.
I was once playing a game of Tabboo and the word for my partner was "astronaut." I said to her, "The American equivalent of cosmonaut," and she couldn't for the life of her catch my meaning.
It still irks me to this day.
Ah, vodka! Always a staple in my liquor cabinet.
I used to think astronaut and cosmonaut as different as astrology and cosmology. Or astronomy and gastronomy. Now I understand.
