    I’ll def. pay those.

    If his surname was pronounced “Tooney” as Ali liked to say it, I would’ve called him: -
    Gene Goon-ey.

    Latest offering: Filipino Punch-O Villa.

    I would like to advise you that I don’t drink any more.

    Nor do I drink any less.

    Boom Boom!

    Standing on the shoulders of a giant: -

    Max Adelbert Beer and Buddy Weiser Beer.(the long tall one).

    Let’s make a toast to the whole Beer family.

    PS - There is the Screwball Cocktail in respect of the Magnificent One.

    Otherwise, there is the old Don Cockell-Tail.

    Good Lord, did I really just type that out?

    I know a lawyer who passed the bar in the early 1990s. He hasn’t passed one since.

    Gotta admit, I really hate it when a thread goes off track and becomes silly.

    Focus peoples. Keep it tight.

    Serious submissions going forward please.

    Sugar Cane Shane Moselley (when it’s bolded it’s even more uproariously funny, right?).

    Sugar cane ain’t no drink. It’s cane with sugar in it.

    One of my early delights as a kid was on hunting trips someone would sometimes bring along some sugar cane and cut it up … you’d chew all the sugar out and spit out the fiber.

    Sugar Cane Juice is…a drink I mean, Shane’s name was already too long as it was, and it would’ve screwed my adjacent rhyme - so I had to drop the Juice (and now the acid :lol:).

    A Rookie and then the Joe Pepsi Challenge? I’m getting ready to take my alcohol and blender home and tell my mum the kids at WBF don’t play nice. :lol:

    I’m sorry my friend. I want too far. Forgive me and let me buy you a nice Charley Burley Temple.

    Burley you can’t be serious?

    Actually, yes, that could appease me for the time being.

    Debate still lingers over the cocktail known as the Jack Dempsey.

    Some claim it would have been the No. 1 drink of choice for many more years if not for the Long Count Island Iced Tea controversy. Others claim it was easily bested by the Gene and Tunnic.
