The Cellar Image of the Day

That pilot from yesterday's IOtD could probably use a Sourtoe cocktail, from Dawson City.

Quote:

The first toe is said to have belonged to a miner and rum runner named Louie Liken, who had his frostbitten appendage amputated in the 1920s. Liken preserved it in a jar of alcohol in his cabin, where Stevenson found it some 50 years later.

Unfortunately, the first toe only lasted only seven more years after its discovery. According to the Sourtoe Cocktail Club, "In July 1980, a miner named Garry Younger was trying for the Sourtoe record. On his thirteenth glass of Sourtoe champagne, his chair tipped over backwards, and he swallowed the toe. Sadly, Toe #1 was not recovered."

Since then, seven more toes have been donated to the bar. Number two was given after an amputation due to an inoperable corn; number three was from a victim frostbite (it was also swallowed accidentally); four was an anonymous toe (stolen by a hunter); toes five and six were donated by a Yukon old-timer in return for free drinks for his nurses; toe seven was an amputation due to diabetes; and toe eight arrived in a jar of alcohol with the message, "Don't wear open-toe sandals while mowing the lawn."

Some people have no class. Rotten old toes should be eaten in a sauce of brown sugar and mustard, dipped in smegma.

No matter how drunk I was, I would never become so enamored of a certificate that I'd allow a pickled toe to bob about in my drink. Though come to think of it, cocktail and a highball suggest that different body parts be used.

I was drunk enough to do an oyster shot (yeeeeeech!) back in '94, but I hope I would draw the line at toes.

Thanks for sharing that, xoxoxoBruce. As soon as I stop gagging, I'll go find you a nice goatse.

This one may have needed to go in the WARNING box.
I haven't avoided looking at an IOTD a second time since the starved and neglected dog Hobo a couple of years ago.
I was just about to get breakfast. Now I'm not so sure. Thanks Bruce.
Funny comments though.

Anyone else notice that the majority of the toes in question have something terribly WRONG with them? I mean, most of them had to be amputated due to something disgusting...

If you're going to have human body parts in your food, wouldn't you want them to at least be HEALTHY human body parts? BLECHHH

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.
... Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish. These fucking amateurs.

Thank you for bringing back the REAL Cellar Image of the Day. I was afraid a few days ago. I am calm now. Bruce, keep up the good work!
