The Shempy is a common bush throughout many parts of the world. It also is known as the Ed Lacy Shrub, or The Rudin. The bush is native to regions of Normandy in France, but it was taken to the new world by the Lacy family after they were banished from the region. Legend says that it has appeared on their family crest, but tales are unconfirmed. It is an invasive species that will contaminate gardens and other sensitive areas due to its tendency to be a burden on the soil by taking up excessive nutrients and requiring unwarranted attention to its unruly growth.
It is a medium-sized shrub that curiously resembles a plump woman’s buttocks. Pods grow from its branches, and the pods can be used as food, to make glue, and can be fermented to create a curious brandy-like concoction known as Lacy Liqueur. While pungent and aromatic, the drink has unusual side affects. Reports by those who have either drunk the spirit or who have witnessed others under the influence say that the consumer soon begins to pepper conversations with obtuse comments and non-sequiturs. The imbiber then speaks with an impatient tone and can disrupt conversations in order to offer corrections to each speaker’s claims. Lacy liqueur is an ingredient in the “aviator” cocktail.
