    Drink Up Americans

    Just a bit of trivia, Today marks the 75th Anniversary of the end of Prohibition in the US. I am toasting the event with a little vodka.

      Wow, I think that picture started the process to repeal prohibition. It may have started the gay rights movement.

          Damn!

          Dogsbody, I don't think those women have anything to worry about as far as getting there lips touched, period. Kind of puts new meaning to the term "doublebagger".

            doublebagger? quadruplebagger with added blindfold methinks.

            It kinda makes me laugh how it's always the mingers who are really fanatical about stuff like this. Just like really hardcore lesbians, they're always ugly as sin who wear Dr. Martens and have short hair. Urgh.

                Surviving the drought

                Late one night I was staring at the lable on a bottle of Jack Daniels, as you tend to do at 1 a.m. and I noticed they have been distiling since 1866. Any idea what the did to survive the years they wern't suppose to be brewing hooch?

                At least prohibition was one very silly american idea that never caught on in Australia!

                  Definitely not one of our better ideas.

                    Dont know who has the Jack Daniels avatar but i know if you quit using it i will take it over in a heart beat.
