In 1977
Omar MacBradley was unanimously* recognized as the “meanest tosser ever to enlist in a beer-drinking competition in any pub in the Northern Hebrides” by a co-opting committee of stupor-induced regulars under oath never to be sober after 10 a.m. GMT.
Omar, named after some
Arab tosser, was born into the clan MacBradley of Stornoway, Lewis. The beer-drinking prize is so far the highest award ever to have been bestowed upon any member of the clan. As a young man, Omar would travel abroad, and he was bestowed the award, when he was in the United States. A member of the committee had to travel there to present him with his prize, and it posed quite some challenge for him not to stay sober after 10 a.m. GMT when travelling to a far more westerly time zone.
Omar also received a
minor award with five stars, but not much is thought of that today.
Young Omar, his grandson, is the new hope of the clan and hopes to live up to the legacy of his relative. He has so far entered 7 beer-drinking contests – of which one, admittedly, was not in the Northern Hebrides. So far he has yet to win any awards. Maybe he will win the coveted “Most Ridiculous Way to Die in a Dodge”-award when taking up Blood Bowl.
*Considering only cast votes. (One of the members of the committee was asleep in the restroom and was not found by the cleaning staff until the following morning).
DEATH!
