You guys have to do a Pirate mug drink in honor of the hapless Raiders..your neighbors in the cellar of the AFC West and my team..sadly but loyally.
A few names you could call it........
The Moss-quito (in honor of Randy Moss)
The Mad Bomber (LaMonica)
The Snake (Stabler)
Bo's Hip Replacement (Bo Jackson)
The Bitter Pill (Marcus Allen)
PSL Painkiller (in honor of the blue collar Raider Nation, who pays the highest personal seat license in the NFL)
The Bad Al (in honor of Al Davis)
The Stork (Ted Hendricks)
The Howie (Howie Long)
The Tooz ( Matuszak RIP)
Alzado's Steroid (Lyle Alzado RIP)
Indestructable Otto (Jim Otto)
Silver and Black (Silver and Dark Rum for the Nation)
Just a few ideas for you, Gents..remember..their is always the A's. I will be there next football season to drink my Raider post game blues away (after Ricky's in San Leandro, of course!

Congratulations to Mike, Manny, and Martin and all involved. Sounds like a slice of tropical heaven.

Having a cocktail named after a local team is a great idea, if you're running a SPORTS BAR.

Oooh! I have a great idea: We'll open our own bar and make it sports-themed! Imagine, team banners all over the wood panel walls; football helmets & giant screen tv's everywhere - even the bathroom! And busty waitresses and free peanuts and sports trophies lining the barback! And drinks named after every sports team ever (we'll keep the bartender duties simple by just making them all long island iced teas with different swizzles). I can't believe no one's thought of it before.

We paid a visit to Palo Alto Trader Vic's last night, to check out the pre-remodel bar one last time... I really hope they take a cue from the San Francisco Trader Vic's and 86 the damned TV at the bar. It really killed the mood. Thankfully, come April I won't care! Are we there yet?!
Thanks also for all the kind words re: the website -- Hanford & Martin did the logo, but I got to draw the flotsam & jetsam for the background -- my first drawing in at least five years! I'm very rusty, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

So, Forbidden Island is full of gay pirates, armed monkeys, and man-eating sharks? Put some Creedence in the juke and I am so there!
midnite..."pirates, monkeys, and sharks..Oh MY!"

I actually don't think it's a bad idea if the drink is tropical in taste and in name, so as to not needlessly rock the boat of sports-clueless Tikiphiles. "The Bitter Pill" sounds like a drink name that might have shown up on a Trader Vic's menu next to "The Stinker".

Some of my best friends are Raider fans, really, but personally, I think I'd steer clear of a bar with even the slightest nod towards the Raider nation. IMHO. Also, the Oakland Coliseum has the worst interpretation of a Mai Tai ever, it's an abomination! I can only imagine the chaos that will ensue if an A's or Raider's fan wanders in and orders a Mai Tai thinking they'll get something like the one served in the foot long plastic barbell at the Coliseum, mayhem I tells ya!
Anyway - We're looking forward to seeing the Island!
