Pusser's? so-so? Bite yer tounge, man! Pusser's is my rum of choice!

Splice the Mainbrace!

I don't drink a lot of rum, but when I do I drink local; http://www.railean.com/Railean%20Distillery.html

Gosling's Black Seal! Delicious, and so dark you can't see through it...!

Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum and Diet Dr. Pepper! The plus is - no carbs! I can have it on my diet! (I know, I know, no diet for y'all, but it's a girl thing. Deal

My wife's favorite drink lately is the Captain Jack, sometimes called Sailor Jack; Jack Daniels, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and Coke.

Well, a drop o' Nelsons Blood wouldn't do us any harm.

Your song sir.

Well, we left the Bay of Fundy on a dark and stormy night,

With Capt. Morgan at the wheel, the crew was full of fright.

The hold was full of salted cod, we were Barbados bound.

We looked on high and said our prayers, "Don't let us run aground."

The wind, it howled, the rain it stung as it thrashed us 'bout the ears,

The bosun said "A storm like this comes once in 20 years."

The cook poured out our rations, he said t'would keep us warm,

"Tis just a dram of Nelson's blood, t'wont do you any harm."

Come sunrise, the skies were clear, a good wind at our back,

The porpoises were silver grey, all the seals were black.

We made our port in Barbados and off-loaded our fish

And loaded up with Newfie Screech as was the owners wish.

I'm now back home where all is well, in fact a bit ho hum.

So shut yer gob ye landlubber and pass me o'er the rum.

A Big Mikey Original

And there you've got my own favourite!

There's always a jug of Screech in the cabinet around here.

When I lived Away I used to like Bacardi's 12-year-old, but they quit making it and went to 8-year which wasn't as good. I like Gosling's Black Seal occasionally, but after that first heady sip it tends to taste kinda blah to me. Screech just keeps giving.

So would that make Screech "the piece of Cod that passes all understanding?"*

*See: http://www.geocities.com/sky_lar/nfldscreech.html. in Northern Iowa and Minnesota, Lutefisk is the "piece of Cod that passes all understanding."

Cheers,
