Rooskies Black Russians............ now this is original and true ! Upon having the bird just a few days, whom at that time was very tame, the bird was allowed to fly about freely in the apartment. Having a friend over whom drank Black Russians.... the bird proceeds to land on the glass and take a big swig, then another....... after 3 healthy gulps for a bird, the bird passes out in the glass head first, had to be pulled out by his tail feathers, and revived. to this day the bird still loves any kind of beer or mixed drink. what a bird !

4 ozs kaulua

Navy Shot

1 Half a shot glass of Jack Daniels - 1 Half shot class of Tequila - Tabasco Sauce

Fill a shot glass halfway with Jack Daniels, then fill the rest with tequila, then add a splash of tobasco sauce (enough to get a big red glob in the bottom of the shot glass).

Born out of a all night drinkfest in Norfolk,VA, this drink was a "I dare you" concoction. But over the years, it has become a institution in the Teams. The record is 18 without passing out or throwing up. Enjoy and good luck! found in James’ handwriting. He was stationed in Norfolk VA.
