Casked in 1992
Please identify yourself. You made the night of four VERY tired motherfuckers out here in Frankfurt
mmm, 18-year Scotch. :drool:
Slammed with reckless abandon by four degenerates
I hoped you used your special commemorative BRIBED shot glass. I've totally forgotten which team gave us those, but one of my all-time favorite bribes.

I remember some E30 team bitching about how they bribed you guys with awesome scotch and still got a 40 lap penalty (they had the guy at the liquor store pick it out).
e30 team, whining? This must be fiction.
pfft...Scotch. probably been drooled in by dirty Scots. the only way it could be more wretched is if it were made by the Irish.
if those chaps wanted to make a proper bribe they would've chosen gin, the drink of civilized men.
they had the guy at the liquor store pick it out
in that case they deserved every one of those laps, IMO.

Agree. A T & T with a twist of lemon....the British Empire ran on it for two hundred years!

Now I see why they call you Buzz. 
You could follow the weather:
Cold outside: Drink something brown neat: scotch, bourbon, Irish whiskey, good rum, good tequila
Warm outside: Drink something clear cold: gin martini, gin & tonic, vodka if that's your thing, Mojito, Caipirinha
Hot outside: Beer
But I usually ignore the weather and drink whatever. Hey, is it cocktail time yet?
A T & T
What's a phone company have to do with scotch? Or did you mean G&T, as in Gin and Tonic?

They are bribing the judges not civilized men.

Tanqueray was only founded in 1830, it can't have been sustaining the Empire for 200 years....

I loved when I handed the Judge our bottle of Jack. He had me follow him to the table where he produced another teams much larger bottle of Jack. He asked me "What's wrong with this picture?" With which I produced another bottle and said "those cheap bastards only brought you one bottle!"
And to me, the bribing is just in the spirit of the show. Same reason we come up with ridiculous themes, get stuff welded to our cars, etc. Bribing the judges should be a MUST for all racers!! Even though we didn't cheat, i'm sure we gained some favor with the judges in the penalty box.
So we'll see you all again, in the same POS car, and we'll still bring the bribes!!!
Bribing the judges won't help you in the Penalty Box. However, if we see you're loaning tools and generally helping other teams stay in the race, we'll have mercy on you when you come in after that totally undeserved black flag. Maybe.
totally undeserved black flag.
this seems redundant.

Good point....India in the 1870's so if Brit empire ends in 1945, about 75 years as a cocktail.......
if Brit empire ends in 1945
it did no such thing. heavens.

10-4. ixnay the liquor bribes.
I recall, at the Fernley race, that we handed our bribe, cleverly disguised as part of our overall theme, to the judges. It was thrown on the ground, the distinguished judges not realizing that it contained a bottle of Park City's finest hand-distilled whiskey, and they even disparaged the bribe as "lame" ... I understand that panic and remorse ensued, once they realized what they'd done and what was really 'in there'....
Fortunately, I hear the "shrubbery" bribe escaped basically intact, and I do hope the contents were thoroughly enjoyed!
I would re-think that particular line of reasoning
Disney, i agree...don't bring liquor to BS. be sure to let us know how that goes over.
Guess you're right....Queen Elizabeth is on all my pocket change....
and so shall she ever remain!
I would re-think that particular line of reasoning
10-4 Keep the bribes comin, necessary or not. 
We'll do it anyways, it's just part of the whole Lemons Show. If we left without he "Bribed" stamp on the car, i'd feel like we WERE cheating!
