- What is a Bullmoose?
- Is this site for
the left handed beer drinking club or the political party?
- Why is a Bullmoose
better than a regular beer drinker?
- How can I become a Bullmoose?
A
Bullmoose is someone that takes his or her (I can't say that I know any female
Bullmooses) beer drinking very serious. A Bullmoose always has a beer in
their left hand and usually makes frequent trips to get more.
Make no mistake. This is the beer
drinking club.
Bullmooses are a different breed of beer
drinker. They are always pushing themselves to become better drinkers and
want the support of the beer drinking community to help them stay in the right
path to getting unnecessarily drunk. If that doesn't make you a great man
then I don't know what does. That is just me though.
This is a source of much debate mostly because
the rules have changed dramatically over the years. Each group has
their own rules so all I can do is tell you how the progression went for us.
We were first introduced to the Bullmoose Club
it was pretty easy to become a full fledged member. All you had to do was:
- Whistle a few bars of
your favorite song with a beer in your left hand. When you were done
with three or four seconds of the song you drank the beer in your left hand
as fast as you could and you were in the club.
This easy passage to entry made it easy for
virtually any light weight who wanted to become a Bullmoose to join in the
fun. The problem with that was once the lightweight was a member they
usually had trouble keeping up with the demands of membership.
It took about for us to realize that people
were happy to drink the one beer and join the club that really didn't have the
fortitude necessary to be a Bullmoose long term. To alleviate this problem
we made the barrier to entry a little bit higher. We modified the
rules so that we wouldn't get into arguments with people that really didn't know
what they were getting themselves into:
- I believe that I was the
first one to drink a thirty six ounce cup (after the whistling), after which
I was immediately handed a fresh beer in my right hand forcing me to chug
that beer as well. Thanks a lot Mark Vernon. The beer was to be
finished in less than one minute without my lips ever leaving the rim of the
cup. I did it in 11 seconds.
At this point we thought that most of the
losers would be weeded out. Unfortunately we continued to get people
saying that they were full. Since a Bullmoose is never full we made the
rules a little tougher:
- The next evolution was to
make the candidate whistle a tune and drink a full sixty ounce pitcher
(that's five twelve ounce beers to you and me) in their left hand without
the pitcher leaving their lips for any reason. And yes, it has to be
done in one minute. I can do it in twenty three seconds.
There is one more rule that is not enforced
today. On one Tuesday night at the Plum Street Pub (Rutgers University) in
New Brunswick New Jersey, we made a guy hook up with the fattest chick in the
bar. Somehow in his drunken state he was still able to go over to her and
complete the task. We didn't tell him until the next morning that it
wasn't necessary. Josh has a better recollection of this story than I
do. I am sure that he will elaborate in the Bullmoose stories section of
this site.
