Definitely the the topic must have deranged OP, who by the appeal to Cecil at first I thought was a noob. What, the TM’s not good enough for you?
I very well might be wrong, but I think mainstream Orthodox religious folk initially were repelled by Chasidism for, among other things, explicitly and dangerously violating the dogma of “Don’t force the Messiah.”
They might have been on to something there for us to consider in the SD…
ETA: Who’s Naomi?
I had a BIL (now ex-BIL) who is a jeweler that cast a bunch of these out of sterling silver. I thought they were cool, but I am not a martini drinker, so I didn’t get any. Now, because of the ex-part, I doubt I’ll see him again.
There was once a wondrous children’s educational program, back in the misty days of yore, called The Electric Company. For the first few seasons, the closing sketch of each show was Love of Chair, which parodied the old radio soap operas’ tradition of ending with a short monologue by the announcer, of the possible things that might happen next in the story. Something like “Will the boy ever get over his chair? Will the chair ever get over the boy?” and the last question was always “And what about Naomi?”

people would make bar bets which sometimes turned into minibar fights. the little spears proved ineffective. the swords were developed for better close range use.
The problem with Googling everything is that Google lacks the style and humor of discussion found on the boards. Besides, once we can Google everything, what are we to do at work without the boards?
I believe that wikipedia is wrong in this instance. A swizzle stick is only for stirring. In the case of cocktails, it is usually a straight plastic stick with a small knob on one end.
What the OP refers to is more correctly called, as Measure for Measure has already shown us, a cocktail pick.
Who can resolve this? Any professional bartenders listening?
