Drink of the Night

Planter's Punch

Several accounts credit the Planter's Punch to Myers's Rum. The Jamaican rum brand sold a Planter's Punch Rum to be used specifically in the cocktail, and this product helped to popularize the recipe among drinkers. The cocktail was fashionable in the United States through the 1960s, until the Tiki craze began to subside. The cocktail lost its luster over the years, but it was revived during the Tiki renaissance of the 2000s and resurfaced in cocktail books, like Ted Haigh's influential 2009 tome, "Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails."

- 3 ounces dark rum
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon grenadine
- 3 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 splash club soda, chilled
- Garnish: mint sprig

Fill a shaker with ice.

Add the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, grenadine, club soda, and bitters.

Shake well for about 10-15 seconds.

Strain into a tall glass filled with ice (a highball or Collins glass works great).

Garnish with an orange slice, cherry, or a mint sprig.

Club ONT Cheeky Content

There have been reports of "Moonings" in retaliation for failing to secure a FIRST. The 3D's would act shocked, but we are not. Moon with a purpose. Moon responsibly. Carry on.

Mixed history on when the first "Mooning" occurred.

History of Mooning Part 1

Some sources have cited mooning, or baring one’s butt at another as an insult that stretches back to the Romans, but the gesture as we know it today seems to have started in the Middle Ages.

Wikipedia claims that the first known instance of mooning was recorded by the famous Roman-Jewish historian Josephus in the 1st century A.D. According to Josephus’ account in The Wars of the Jews, a Roman soldier bared his rear to an audience of Jews celebrating Passover, and incited a riot that killed “upwards of thirty thousand.” However, a closer examination of Josephus’s account shows that the soldier was not mooning the crowd, but rather farting in their general direction. Josephus puts it more delicately, “One of the soldiers, raising his robe, stooped in an indecent attitude, so as to turn his backside to the Jews, and made a noise in keeping with his posture.”

History of Mooning Part 2

Mooning was first recorded in North America in around 1524, when the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano and his crew were mooned by Native Americans of the Abenaki tribe along the coast of Maine . Verrazzano was astonished by the “barbarous” behavior of the natives and called the state of Maine “onde la male gente” (land of the bad people). The Abenaki, however, had previous contact with Europeans and did not think very highly of them. Mooning Verrazzano and his crew was the Abenaki’s unequivocal way of telling the Europeans exactly what they thought of them.

Why? Pizzeria in Australia puts orange slices on pizza? Are the Aussie's Vitamin C deficient?

In March, Bubba Pizza's research cooks considered that, since pineapple does so well on pizza, perhaps another citrus fruit would, too. This summer, the New York Post reports, the chain is offering pizzas with orange slices and ham. Online reaction has been lively, although, oddly enough, not universally positive.

Club ONT Wall of Shame

Musicians were once made of sturdier stuff. On the other hand, it truly a skill to virtue signal this hard and acknowledge nobody is buying tickets to your shows at the same time.

International Language

Top 10ish Comments of the Week. Or thereabout...

Club ONT brought to you by High Infidelity:

In memoriam: say a prayer for Doggo's doggo that crossed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. Always a tough event. Judging from posts on today's earlier Pet Thread, others among the Horde have recently lost pets of their own. If you have a doggo, give 'em an extra milkbone tonight. If you have a pet of another kind, give 'em an appropriate treat of another kind.

Club ONT note: a recent patron that was on the receiving end of an over-exuberant effort to slide a full mug of beer down the bar. While the patron clearly said "Beer me!", the bartender underestimated their strength and the patron's ability to catch said beer. Club ONT has also determined that the bar was not level. It was tilted with a modest downward slope towards said patron, likely speeding the suds along. Fixing the bar, firing the bartender or changing the laws of gravity are infeasible. Patrons are advised to use "beer me!" with care.
