Muchas Kudos to whoever started this rumour. I love the way the recipe is the same.

Haggis · 08/29/2009, 06:47 am

Hahaha, that's priceless!

hansschmucker · 08/29/2009, 06:50 am

Hayden · 08/29/2009, 06:54 am

Oh my gosh, there are some deadset idiots in the world!

doggans · 08/29/2009, 07:08 am

There are no words.

Except "classic".

SubSidal · 08/29/2009, 07:29 am

OMFG!!! I'm..... I'm..... I can't..... I'm..... speechless.... I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.... How can the media be such idiots that everything is a cause for alarm?!?!? And even if they don't know MI how can they even think that's something else but a joke?! Next thing they're gonna ban Monkey Island because it tells kids to drink Kerosene... (sigh)

Miaharpy · 08/29/2009, 07:41 am

Hate to be that guy XD If I found something like that, I would look it up on google to see if it was real and end up finding out it's from a game XD

tim333 · 08/29/2009, 07:58 am

I like how he took the "XD" emoticon as part of the name of the drink.

Mattoo · 08/29/2009, 07:59 am

The word Grog was not invented for Monkey Island I'm sorry to say. It's an old English nautical word for a mixed alcoholic drink. Check out Wikipedia for the full details.

"The word originally referred to a drink made with water or "small beer" (a weak beer) and rum, which was introduced into the Royal Navy by British Vice Admiral Edward Vernon (nicknamed "Old Grog" by the sailors) on 21 August 1740."

So sorry guys, but that use of the term is perfectly viable. Whether it's true or not that kids are drinking that stuff then that's a different matter.

That's funny, indeed.

Ah, okay! I thought you guys were just laughing because of the name. Yeah okay, that is pretty stupid.

Lennie Melvin · 08/29/2009, 08:21 am

Thanks - that really cheered me up. Thank goodness for stupidity!

Now, who's for a grog?

Novotnus · 08/29/2009, 09:58 am

Shame on him for showing his face : )

Ignatius · 08/29/2009, 10:33 am
