The line about the publican is a paraphrase from "Tommy", a poem by Rudyard Kipling.

So, do you like Kipling?

I don't know, I've never Kippled.

So, How 'bout it Mr. Publican?

Anyone got a can of Day-glo orange spray paint?

He said the drinks are on him - I've got a punch-bowl full of courthouse punch* - who will help me lift it to dump over him?








*For those of you who aren't a sibling of mine, "Courthouse Punch" was a recipe devised by our mom to serve at the party the DAR** threw for the new cizitens every time there was a ceremony at the Worcester, MA City Hall. People liked it so much they convinced her to write out the recipe (always a daunting task), but it basically involved mint, tea, ice, sugar, various fruit juices ... and is yummy.
