The only one I can't seem to find anything about is one from a place called the Temple Bar or Bombo in Oakland. It has a weird shaking glass on it with the words "Bombo" (?) and "carefree." Maybe the name of the house drink and it's desired effect? Notice how the 'TE' in Templebar is emphasized? I think Templebar is the Bombo's phone number prefix - as in TEmplebar 9805 - not the name of the bar/restaurant. Ovarian Cancer Research [ Edited by: LOL Tiki 2012-01-26 17:04 ]
