Here is video of the award ceremony at the Bistro this weekend

“I was reviewing my retirement accounts when I realized:

If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you will have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago,
you will have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you will have $0.00 today.
But—- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer
one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund,
you will have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle.
It’s called the 401-Keg.”

CROSSING THE RUBICON
When Julius Caesar and his army crossed the Rubicon in 49 B.C., they violated an ancient Roman law which forbade any general with a standing army from crossing the Rubicon River and entering Italy proper. Caesar is said to have considered at length whether to cross, for he knew that by crossing the Rubicon he was committing an act of war and there would be no turning back. The act of crossing the Rubicon did lead to civil war, and Caesar emerged as ruler of Rome.

The phrase “Crossing the Rubicon” has survived to refer to any step that commits a person or people irrevocably to a risky and revolutionary course of action – similar to the current phrase “passing the point of no return.”

So cross the Rubicon and come in for pint and some great pub grub.
