[The once and future king]

You yanks seem well up for your challenges and resulting bets and I salute you for it.

Every year in a small market town called Helston located in Cornwall England they have a festival called Flora day. To mark this occasion a local brewer makes an ale called Spingo special which you can only drink at a pub called the Blue Anchor.

Each Flora day the Landlord of the Pub paints a white line in the courtyard of the Pub. Tradition has it that if you can drink 20 pints of Spingo special and walk in a straight line down the white line you win the deeds of the pub.

Spingo special is a distinct brew. I estimate its alcohol content to be around 8.5% which is of course high for a beer. However as anyone will tell you who has drunk the stuff, there is some secret ingredient. This stuff sends you mad after about 3 pints. It has a hit all its own and is legendery for it.

So, no offence intended but Yanks have a piss poor international respect rating for being able to handle their drink. Maybe this is the time for someone to step up be counted. Be warned though, both russians and scots have attempted this and been crushed by the Spingo. These two races of men are hard HARD hard drinkers.

Can you walk the white line?
