One of my favorite TVics drinks, and one of my favorite vessels! The glass one looks like a beaut too - I didn't know that existed. I'm not sure, but somehow I thought the ceramic one comes in different colors. Maybe I'm mixing it up with a port light or something. It was WeirdUncleTiki who pointed out to me that it's supposed to look like a bullet, and explained the significance with respect to the Hawaiian gun club. Actually, I forget the story though. That's what happens if you tell a good story to people who are drinking. -Randy
