Team midnite, celebrating another losing season (but we're a plucky bunch), just returned from a no-holds barred, I no speaka da english, dine and dash, whirlwind tour of Dublin, Ireland and the greatest city in the world: London UK! Christmas Eve was spent enjoying the totally bitchin' environs of London's Trader Vic's. We downed some quite nice cocktails and I arm wrestled several Arab Sheiks. Not sure, but I believe I now own several hectares southeast of Riyadh, camels included. It's not that I am any arm rasslin' fiend, but I do have a certain advantage, as I use my left hand.

London Vic's was its usual glorious self, the best decor in a Vic's I've visited, and now my fave Vic's (so long, Chicago). Good drinks, mediocre wait staff and lots of single women. Funny, but for some reason London's Vic's is ever so popular with attractive single wimmen. They were all sufficiently impressed by my arm wrestling skills, but to their dismay, the captain was not available...that night!

So, the best Tiki place in '05 goes to the last visited, London's Vic's. Chicago would get the nod, but I never got a standing "O" (insert double entendre here) from a bunch of high-pound working girls in the Chicago Vic's. Take that!, Abdul, you guys got the oil...but in Amer-hica we made "Over the Top". U-S-A! U-S-A!!

and after spending some more time there after the hiring of Martin,

I second that motion! The man can mix a drink so good it makes you go home and slap your Mother! Which is no easy feat for me, seeing that Mom bought the farm in '98. We're still talking about a certain libation from the old Lanai... superb! Martiki behind the bar makes a world of difference for our local Vic's. Now, if they could just get a few more Ladies in theer like Lon...
