Scotty Hopson Shot Meets Loving the Law

Clay -
The recent talk of the Scotty Hopson shot reminded me of a good story. A friend of mine was a summer associate at a large law firm. A group of partners and associates took him out to lunch one day, and when the waitress went around the table to get the drink order, many of them ordered Arnold Palmers (half iced tea, half lemonade). My friend, having never before heard of the Arnold Palmer, assumed it was some cool new cocktail. He thinks to himself, sweet, a drinking lunch, and orders a Tom Collins. The lawyers are too embarrassed to say anything, and my friend goes through three of them, thinking that everyone else is drinking liquor too. No job offer for him.
Also, if Arnold Palmer has a drink named after him, what about John Daly? What would "the John Daly" consist of?
That's a really funny story. Law firm lunches are the death of many a legal career. Did anyone else go out with the older partners at firms and have them order beers with lunch? It was like they were daring you to order a beer too. I never did but I always wondered what they were trying to prove with their orders. It was like they felt the need to prove how much more powerful they were than me. I get it asshole, you're rich and you can drink whatever you want for lunch. Bravo. I can go to a football game on Saturday and you have to work. I win.
Anyway, tough luck for your friend. But congrats to him for going with triple drinks. I'm picturing him pounding the table at the end of the third drink in the middle of a story about bobbing for apples from a fraternity bin full of fruit and everclear and there being stony silence from everyone else.
As for the John Daly Shot. Great question. I'm thinking straight Jack Daniel's from a beer mug with a thrice-divorced woman's thong shoved into the bottom of the mug for added flavor.

Travis has become enamored of several objects, phrases or events which he frequenly references in the column. Among the most frequent:
'Bama Bangs - a term coined by Travis to refer to southern men's hairstyles that feature prominent bangs for no apparent reason. Brodie Croyle and John Parker Wilson are oft-cited violators of 'Bama Bangs rules.

When Clay Travis, acclaimed author of Dixieland Delight, decided to spend the 2008 season up close and personal with UT football, he—and every other college football aficionado—thought he was in for a rollicking ride with one of the leading contenders for the national title. After all, when the Vols kicked off the season on September 1, the defending SEC East champions were ranked 18th in the country. As head coach Phillip Fulmer prepared for the game, he reflected upon a coaching career that included an astounding 147 victories, two SEC championships, and a national title. With 34 years at UT under his belt as both a player and coach, the Tennessee native had just signed a contract extension that projected to keep him at the university long enough to become the winningest coach in program history.

There is no college ball more passionate and competitive than football in the Southeastern Conference, where seven of the twelve schools boast stadiums bigger than any in the NFL and 6.5 million fans hit the road every year to hoot and holler their teams to victory.

The newly favored man is not really a man at all, but a hairless, effeminate, germ-fearing, non-meat-eating, exfoliating, wristband-wearing woman of the worst order. We as men are told that we must embrace the sacred feminine in ourselves, even if it doesn't actually exist, and become the very quintessence of woman, plus penises. This situation is untenable. This trend must stop.

Clay Travis is the only former student manager in the history of college athletics to marry an NFL cheerleader. He managed to pull this off despite an irrational affinity for the television shows Dawson's Creek and My Super Sweet 16. While being raised in Nashville, Tenn., Travis developed a healthy obsession with college sports and Alyssa Milano. As a teenager his greatest accomplishment was taking a doo-rag wearing Luke Duke (balling as Tom Wopat) to the hole at the Nashville YMCA.
In the midst of a stellar legal career during which he specialized in rewarding the unjust and punishing the oppressed, Travis began writing for CBS Sports's SPiN section in September 2005...

Whatever it is, it'll have to be big...
A friend on mine is a bartender in Hilton Head. The John Daly is Firefly's Sweet Tea Vodka and lemonade. Simple and classic!
I second that a John Daily is the Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade, and that is one dangerous drink.
