Ashley Gang Bootlegging.
Bootlegging With the Ashley Gang.
The Ashley Gang in the 1910s to the mid 1920s were the most wanted outlaws in the Florida Everglades. Before Bonnie and Clyde in the 1930s.
John Hopkins Ashley was born in Fort Myers, Florida in 1888. John Ashley and family ran their criminal operation out of the Everglades with the crimes of bootlegging, bank robbery and a little piracy on illegal whiskey during the prohibition.
$45000 was robbed from the Bank of Stuart in 1914 by the Ashley Gang. Unfortunately, John had a recruit named Kid Lowe who was shooting his gun in the bank like a crazy person and shot Ashley in the jaw where he lost an eye. Pretty sure Kid Lowe was fired. Because of this John Ashley was famous for his glass eye.

It's Oktoberfest Time!
Wake up Harold!" Dr. Wetbrain yelled at the couch where his passed out comrade was sleeping.
"It's Oktoberfest time!"
Harold groggily sat up and mumbled, "What? That's not till next month!"
Excitedly Dr. Wetbrain states, "The Bavarian Beer Garden season is upon us. Not only in Munich, Germany, but in other countries and cities you would not think of. We should check out about Eight Best Oktoberfest, Bavarian Beer Gardens in the world that I know of. Harold what are you doing lying down again. I want to tell you about these Oktoberfest's that we are going to."
Munich hosts the original Oktoberfest and has since 1810. This fun filled sixteen-day festival pours out seven million liters of German beer to about seven million thirsty visitors. This huge party is held from middle of September to first week in October.

Shilly-Shally Drinking Game.
Shilly-Shally Drinking Game.
Introduction:
Dr. Wetbrain constantly adds words to people talking to him too slowly. Welcome to his world of playing with Shilly-shally.
Dr. Wetbrain
Merrian-Webster Dictionary defines ‘Shilly-Shally” as an Adverb.
1) in an irresolute, undecided, or hesitating manner.
2) to show hesitation or lack of decisiveness.
3) to waste time.
This is a quick, be on the ball, witty drinking game which you can play anywhere, anytime. To begin, you and your drinking friends must be beside a television, radio (maybe not a car radio while drinking and driving), smart phone, laptop or computer to be able to play this drinking game.
Play:
Step 1
As mentioned previously this game can be played anywhere, anytime where someone is talking. Whether this speaking voice is funneled through a radio, new favorite television show, smart phone, a new movie, recorded lecture (not seen), or a group of friends where only one person is talking.
Notice how ‘new’ was noted on a few of these ‘voice’ speaking examples. An important moral component to this game is that we do not want previously watched cheating. Why cheat on simple fun drinking games anyways. Do not have to worry about a radio announcer, their speech will be always new.

Rock Bands With Beer Brands.
Rock Bands with Beer Brands.
Dr. Wetbrain was visiting a good friend that had an unopened can of AC/DC beer. Wetbrain could not believe that a beer made by a famous rock band had not been drunk yet.
At that moment a revelation draped over the Doctor who was now thinking about how many other rock bands have their own beer brands. It ends up that there are many beer brands with well-known rock band ownership.
Here are a few rock bands who own their beer.
Since 1973, over 5 decades AC/DC rock band from Australia rocked the world. The oldest brother George Young once told his younger brothers Malcolm and Angus to keep repeating what you are doing, and you will be famous. Good advice.
In October 2015, Australian Hardrock Beer came out into the public at the same time AC/DC’s world tour “Rock or Bust”. Mostly sold in Australia with the grocery chain Aldi. Eventually sold in the U.S.A.
German brewer Karlsberg (not same as the famous Danish Carlsberg) produced this fine 5% alcohol lager which comes in cans or a 5-liter keg. In 2022 AC/DC with collaboration of New York’s Great South Bay Brewery came out with “For Those About to Rock Ale” beer and launched in 33 States.

Booze At The Internatioal Space Station.
One clear starry night Harold and the doctor were sitting back on old lawn chairs and drinking beer in Dr. Wetbrain’s back yard. In complete silence they stared at the quiet night sky.
Dr. Wetbrain pointed at the night sky and broke the silence, “See that bright, star Harold? That’s the International Space Station. Did you know that ample amount of alcohol was launched to that space station?”
“Right, I’m sure.” Was Harold’s doubtful reply.
“Let me tell you about it.” Dr. Wetbrain smartly replied.
First, all alcohol is prohibited from the International Space Station. Even perfume, hand sanitizer and mouthwash are banned. Though in the early days of space flight Russian cosmonauts confessed to smuggle alcohol on their space mission in juice containers and hollowed out books.

Match Game - 70's TV Show.
https://drwetbrain.com/2021/09/28/match-game-70s/
Dr. Wetbrain loves certain game shows especially the old Match Game. Only because he heard that booze was consumed by the cast during the taping. What a way to spruce up a TV game show. He would say giggling.
Here is the Match Game story.
Host of the #1 TV game show in the 70’s Gene Rayburn would fly into Los Angeles from Cape Cod, Massachusetts every weekend to film the show. One week of shows were filmed in a day.
So, a bit of drink was consumed by most of the panelists during the lunch and dinner breaks amid the taping. There were also breaks between each show, where panelists changed outfits, given food and beverage which included alcohol. The odd time you would see a panelist with a Styrofoam cup. Might be filled with water or might be filled with vodka.
