Yep. Just post your name here and Ukelele Ike will invent a custom drunk named for you. Step up, quantities are limited. Order now! ---

Now that you mention it, I am a bit dry. Come on Uke, wet my whistle. ---

That’s drink, not drunk. The drink is what you’ll get. Drunk is what you’ll be. ---

Okay, I never really bugged UncleBeer or Wally over their respective ‘duties’, but the idea of having a drink named after me- especially given the proposition of a DC doper meeting where I might order such a thing- appeals to me far too much. So, Uke, what kind of drink gets the Corrado treatment? * * * JMCJ “Y’know, I would invite y’all to go feltch a dead goat, but that would be abuse of a perfectly good dead goat and an insult to all those who engage in that practice for fun.” -weirddave, set to maximum flame ---

Oh, man, how cool would it be to have a drink named after me? Uke, if you’d be so kind, I’ll toast you the first time I drink one. We should probably all do that. Think of all the good vibes you’d get. And would it be too presumptuous to request that it be a gin drink, or should just I shut my mouff and be happy with what the master bestows? * * * “Are you frightened of snakes?” “Only when they dress like werewolves.” -Preacher ---

OK, I gotta get in on this action. If anyone’s enough of a drunk to have a drink named after 'em, it’s me. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cocktails-named-after-you-ask-the-uke-guy/16548.md?page=2)
