Oof. I knew q10 was gonna be a big number but 16, yeouch.

Nice work Diamond. Hail to the king.

I changed “ice” to “rum” right before I sent it. Thought that would be the Jordan since its the only sure bet. Ugh!

In the Caribbean, the most likely place you'd drink one, they always sprinkle nutmeg on it. It's good!

It's been around longer than vodka has been readily available in the US.

I mean, sure - but they’ve had a century of not great teams. I guess the 1910s and 1990s and ron Kittle covered some shit up.

Lost because I chose to make a Darryl Talley pun in my final answer. Send it over, Rass.
