I'm fairly certain the point of the thread is the story. The pun is just icing on the cake.

The rest of this joke is over my head.

Aussies?

Someone plz explain.

Root = sex. Which allows us to laugh behind Americans' backs when they come here.;)

I get that, but somehow I doubt RBJ would post an entire thread because a reporter has a funny name.

You do?

Haven't I made it abundantly clear during the tenure of my time on these forums that I don't take anything seriously?

It's not just a funny name, it's the quintessential prank name, and it's surrounded by so many other things: Casey FitzRandolph, (though not Randolph Fitzcasey) Joe (read: "your") Cheek, self gratification, australian terms for fucking, blowing, tights...

I thought it was an early April Fool's column when it was forwarded to me.

I'm not saying any of this is brilliant humor, but christ, the shit ain't complicated.

OK.

You got me.

Been meaning to mention, actually, that I had picked up a bottle at christmas based on your, and Zaph's, endorsement. Drank a couple neat, a couple rocks, about half the bottle in Kentucky Mules (my favorite drink at the moment). All of them quite tasty. Definitely a winner.

Oh, I do so love being right. :cheeky:

It's only (http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/4313) The Greatest Drink I've Discovered In The Last Eight Months.

I started making them before I knew what they were called. I also don't use sweetened lime juice, instead opting for a twist of fresh lime. A similar drink with rum, the (http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/2414) Dark & Stormy is pretty damn good too. The key is spicy ginger beer, instead of regular limp ginger ale.

While my work connection has blocked out the many cocktails I could make during business hours, I can only imagine that the perfect name for a rum cocktail desiring a spicy ginger beer would be The Bundaberg Mariner.

Or Ale Bundy.
