Lemonball and The White Christmas Shot

It is an indisputable fact. If you somehow mix some beer, some guys that have had some beer, a box of lemons, and a bucket - some sort of game will result.

The game that resulted was this: at about 11 pm after a number of beers - one guy was parked across four lanes of traffic with a bucket, three other guys were on the third story rooftop patio of the bar across that street with a box of lemons.

The idea is to have the one guy across traffic that has the bucket catch the lemons. The other guys get to hurl lemons at the guy with the bucket. There is a darn good chance that a raw egg got snuck into the mix.

It might not sound like much - but trust me - both fun and funny.

Which leads us to todays horrible shot - The White Christmas.

It's kind of fun to lead unsuspecting folks into doing these shots. Sometimes you're able to goad folks into doing them after they've had a few drinks - and you put say fifteen dollars on the table.

Today's superhero/victim is Natalie. She's a young enthusiastic, cute girl who comes in semi-regularly.

Here's a picture of Natalie before the shot.

Which leads us into the evilness.

You'll need some well gin for this one - we use something called Crystal Palace.
You'll top that with mayonnaise

We prefer to leave the squiggly mayo trail float on top. You may choose to stir it in - but be warned - it will probably congeal back on top in tiny little mayonnaise globules. Each method has it's positives.

So, after some negotiating, and bribing, Natalie agreed to the White Christmas. I think the historical significance helped - no one in the history of mankind had ever done this shot before (You don't say!) This is the aftermath.

To her credit - she kept it down. She's a real trooper. You can also see the small mob that has gathered around (OK - by mob I mean our GM and kitchen manager who are both horrified and amused by my disgusting shot shenanigans).

If you were to walk into the bar today - one of the chalkboards reads: Natalie drank gin and mayo - Praise Her!.

Praise her, indeed. Well done Natalie!
