When drinking a 45, always remember to pour a little off the the top "for the homies that didn't make it". This is _very_ important.
LOL. Will do, mos def.
You know, there is a similar tradition at the Passover Seder. At one point, everyone takes a glass of wine, and dips a pinkie in and discards one drop of wine for each of the plagues that God visited on the Egyptians in an effort to convince them to let the Jews go. The notion is that even though the Egyptians were the Jews' oppressors, the joy of the Seder should be somewhat diminished in recognition of the suffering the Egyptians endured.
Wonder if the boyz in the hood got the inspiration for the Colt 45 tradition from this? ;-)
