Congratulations to fdoosey for his lightening quick response.

1.) Which hard core prohibitionist is featured on U.S. currency?
Susan B. Anthony was not only a sufrragette, but also a hatchet wielding barrel buster. That’s why the bartender squinches up his face when you pay for a drink with her ugly mug.

2.) Why is there a bat on bottles of Bacardi?
Bats would get drunk and pass in the rum vats. And drown. They lived in the rafters of the distillery and apparently developed a taste for the stuff. I feel fairly confident in saying half this board would suffer the same fate, given simular circumstances.

3.) According to the 2002 survey by Bartender Magazine, which group are the worse tippers?
Senior citizens. After keeping a death grip on the number one and two spots for years, doctors and lawyers were dethroned this year by novices, old folks and foreigners. Rounding out the top ten of tightwads: 2) 21-24 year olds 3) Canadians/Europeans 4) Teachers 5) Lawyers 6) Women 7) Doctors 8.) Computer Geeks 9) Bankers 10) Pipe Smokers.

4.) Who was not once a bartender:
A. Chevy Chase
B. Bill Cosby
C. Kris Kristofferson
D. Sandra Bullock
E. Helen Hunt
E. Helen Hunt. Hah! Would you want her mixing your Rob Roy?

5.) When your Sambuca is served con la mosca, what is put in your glass?
Coffee beans. Now, that’s how you make java.

Thanks for playing, we'll do this again next month.
Frank

nice one, fdoosey.

To quote Kodos from the Simpsons, "Holy flurking schnitt!"

Or Stewie from Family Guy, "Victory is mine!"

:D :D

I just emailed MDM my address...I neglected to do so earlier. Hopefully that doesn't mean I have to fly to Denver to pick it all up. Heh.

Of course, I will give a report on the contents of said "mystery flask" provided it's not liquid VX nerve agent. I should be able to survive anything else.

Well done, my man. Much kudos to you. Wear your new accoutrements with pride.

I shall, as long as it fits. If not, I will lose weight for the sole purpose of fitting in them. Although I expect my head isn't that fat. It's everything below the head that's big.

I got 4 outa 5 right. I actually put Abraham Lincoln for number 1. I think that should count. Try this authentic Lincoln quote on for size:

"Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks seems not now an open question. Three-fourths of mankind confess the affirmative with their tongues, and I believe all the rest acknowledge it in their hearts"

They don't teach you that one in school, do they?

Lemmy, I think that wins you some Cynar! ;)

I would like to raise an objection to the survey regarding Q3, folks at the Bartender Magazine definately did not get lost in the details of different kinds of Europeans (placed as the third worse tippers on this Earth). There ARE incredible differences. But, anyway, the question was not about that.

Congratulations, Your Second Ten Feet Tall Majesty!
May the liquor be with You.

Three cheers for fdoosy!
Hah ha. The question that stumped me was the worst tippers... :x I've encountered more than my fair share of those shady characters. From just about every walk of life, but most particularly those that ranked in the poll. Yes.

fdoosey · Post by **fdoosey** » Mon Aug 11, 2003 7:44 am

Well, if I may be so honest...it's not that I had all this information locked inside my melon, although it is a veritable goldmine of useless information (save for the beer knowledge and stuff required for work and a happy married life). I just knew where to dig.

Even though MDM never specifically stated it, I won't attempt any more contests for a year. I'm not saying I'd win every month, or even again. But I won once, and now it's someone else's turn.

Unless they're giving away some rare single malt. Then to hell with honor.

:D
