A lot of the racers were hanging out tonight at the Downtown Hotel bar, and the four of us went to join the celebration. The Downtown Hotel is famous for one reason, and that is the Sourtoe Cocktail. Which is a shot of alcohol, any kind you want, with the most disgusting garnish ever.
A preserved human toe. Seriously. They have a store of toes, donations from kindly accident victims. The toes are dehydrated and kept in a jar of salt. They say that it's an old Dawson City tradition, started by a bootlegger who kept his frostbitten, amputated toe in a bottle of whiskey. The hotel owner found it when he bought their cabin, and inspired by
this poem, decided to start serving the Sourtoe Cocktail. If you drink it, and your lips touch the toe, you become a member of
this club.
Jake is now a member of that club.
He drank the Sourtoe Cocktail and then gave the toe a trim.
I settled for a beer.

A new low!!!!!! YUCK!!!
Wow, that is much worse than a worm!
And to think that some lady sued Wendy's when she found a finger in her chilli! They should have said, "Hey Lady. There are people up in Dawson who would pay good money for that!"
