I have a draft copy of the sometime-to-be-released collection of DLV
history and lore. The Galiano{sic} chapter goes something like this ...
+4. Galiano
+Galiano [sic] is a very nasty substance. I've been told that it is
+commonly used as a jet fuel additive and an indistrial degreaser. The
+taste (and the effect) of Galiano can be approximated by a 50/50 mix of
+vodka and Robitussin. (Kids, don't try this at home, adults, don't try
+this anywhere.) Most people know Galiano [sic] as the key ingredient in
+a Harvey Wallbanger and a Golden Cadillac.
+Needless to say, this stuff is recklessly intoxicating!
+Margeth drinks Galiano [sic] straight. Margeth also decided that all of
+us present at Keys Lounge one evening should have the pleasure (??) of
+drinking Galiano straight.
+So, she ordered a round for the table, not allowing anybody to opt out
+of the process.
+I remember joking around about what was this, lighter fluid? Maybe
+Nyquil? Acetone?
+I took sips of it every so often, not wanting to appear unappreciative
+to Margeth's sudden generosity.
+Little did I know that whenever I turned my head, Densie would pour
+part of hers, and possibly of others glasses into mine, so my sips were
+consistently replenished.
+To make a long story short, I got very drunk very fast, to the
+amusement of all onlookers, and very sick afterward.
+Oh yes, I became very well acquainted with Ralph that night, or rather
+that morning. :(
+Galiano has become quite the legend at DLV. Ever since 1998, an annual
+game of "get Annie to drink Galiano" has been played.
Other chapters in this yet-to-be-released compendium include such things
as Beginnings, Excess baggage, 7-11, Cold bath, Galiano, DelMar and Oh
Pooh.

However, I will probably want to write it so the exaggerated and
embelished version does get into circulation. :)
