Although nobody taking the quiz scored a perfect 20, we're declaring
Densie the winner, scoring 19 out of 20.

Densie will receive a complimentary bottle of a very delicious "dessert
wine" (NO, not the G-word) for the Limo Tour at the upcoming DLV 2007.
Contratulations!

Sob sniff! I'm so happy! I never win anything! Should I make a speech?

I'll let you in on a little secret... oh, this is the disc group, isn't
it? Well, consider it an early piece of lore for 2007. I've had a
bottle of Galiano (sic) for two or three years now, and curiosity
finally got the best of me...so I tried it.

You're right. It's just downright putrid. In fact, it was so gawdawful
that I haven't had the urge to drink ANYTHING with alcohol in it lately.

Should I save the empty bottle?

Sure, we can book a big lecture hall at the Convention Center and you
can be DLV's first keynote speaker! :)

>oh, this is the disc group, isn't it?

Uh-huh, it sure is, at least it was the last time I checked.

LOL, now you know! Next thing you'll be buying a toothbrush in the
dicey area of town and sharing your Galiano [sic] with the winos! :)

>You're right. It's just downright putrid.

Ya know, I've always said that Galiano [sic] tastes kind of like a
mixture of vodka and Robitussin, but I've figured out a better example
of what it tastes like.

You remember those Circus Peanuts? If you don't, try:

http://www.bad-candy.com/candies/circuspeanuts/

Take Circus Peanuts, soak them in turpentine for about a week,
strain the results, and you'll have something that tastes kind
of like Galiano [sic].

(Kids, don't try this at home, adults, don't try this anywhere!)

>Should I save the empty bottle?

You mean you drank the whole thing???!!! Geez!

Seriously, a local road-house bar just west of here has a very nice
model of a lighthouse, made of, you guessed it, a Galiano [sic] bottle.

We used to things with Galliano bottles which required carbonite drill
bits. But that was over 25 years ago.

Why can't we just use the meeting room? I can speak right before the
rubber chicken is served; that way, people won't mind if I cut it short.

>LOL, now you know! Next thing you'll be buying a toothbrush in the

Do you want me to save some for Lester, or have you found a new main
squeeze?

>>Should I save the empty bottle?

In one swallow. I wanted to hurry up and get it down.
