the dogball highball

the Dawson humane society hit upon a hideously effective advertising campaign to encourage residents to spay or neuter their pets: in honour of Valentine's Day, the only martini bar in town, Bombay Peggy's, promoted the Dogball Highball at its annual Night of Northern Naughtiness...

yep...exactly what it sounds like. after all, this is the town that proudly serves the Sour Toe Cocktail (a preserved severed human toe masquerading as an olive in the alcohol of your choice). so as a fundraiser for the humane society, a fair number of Dawsonites stepped up to the ghastly challenge of drinking a whiskey or vodka garnished with dog testicles. if they allowed the pickled dog ball to touch their lips (no need to do anything worse), they were awarded the Highball certificate.

i have to admit, i'm a coward & couldn't bear to try one. there are strange things done under the midnight sun indeed...
