It's the name of a drink and the Advernturer's Club's salute. A way of saying "cheers!'
According to BoingBoing, the Adventurer's Club in Pleasure Island closed its doors. For those unfamiliar, it was a place made to look like a sort of meeting place for adventurers, with masks and trophies and a library and such. And characters who would wander around and entertain with goofy rituals and stories. It was the only club worth visiting (IMHO) at Pleasure Island. Maggie and I had a lot of fun there on our honeymoon. I always wanted my own "mask room" and we sort of do have that with Maggie's mask collection, in a way. None of them talk, of course. I'd love to re-decorate the downstairs room as a library. So, yeah, the Adventurer's Club made a big impression on me, though I guess there are always much bigger fans out there.
Thanks for the memories.
The Adventurer's Club Creed
We climb the highest mountains,
just to get a better view.
We plumb the deepest oceans,
because we're daring through and through.
We cross the scorching desert,
martinis in our hand.
We ski the polar ice caps,
in tuxedos looking grand.
We are reckless, brave, and loyal,
and valiant to the end.
If you come in here a stranger,
you will exit as a friend.
KUNGALOOSH!
I loved the Adventurer's Club. Why did they close it? It will always have a fond place in my heart. The improv club across the way was also fun, but the AC was far more entertaining.
