I made this last night when I was bored. Carl Sagan is offering you a galaxy grog, you might want to not let him down, he gets real passionate about the universe.

I would drink so much Carl Sagan - Galaxy Grog™.I made this last night when I was bored. Carl Sagan is offering you a galaxy grog, you might want to not let him down, he gets real passionate about the universe.

It would have to look like this vodka does: imagine, a kava-based sparkling drink that tastes like whatever purple chemicals the local plant dumps into the river. Buy some Galaxy Grog™ tudei!

French President Macron is at the Fiji Pavilion in Bonn, Germany also. The following picture shows him standing near a bowl of yaqona, but according to the article he drank some also. Maybe he chugged the entire tanoa? (In other news, the accepted spelling of the word pavilion is wrong.)

Every dictionary I looked at, including the Shorter Oxford 3rd edition and the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary 9th edition has the sp. as pavilion. I don't recall ever seeing it spelt as pavillion (but I am old and my memory is not so good). Middle English was pavilon while Old French was pavillon (American Heritage Dict.)

German cabinet minister forced to drink a beverage they'd banned for twelve years.
A better pic of Arnold drinking kava:
The guy with the blue shirt seem to be intently looking down at that Tanoa. I bet he's daydreaming of throwing a few shells back.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure what happened was some kind of quantum entanglement phenomenon where a little while back my consciousness was exchanged with that of my doppelganger from a parallel universe which only differs from my native universe by the fact that where I come from the word 'pavilion' is spelled with two L's. That seems like the simplest explanation to me.

(at the risk of sounding as gullible as I tend to be...) Is this photo-shopped?

@recentreturn Do you mean the whole thread, or just the few on this page? Most all are real photos of famous people drinking kava. I believe the Carl Sagan and Arnold memes on this page are photoshopped.

The pictures of Arnold drinking kava are real. The Terminator meme is shopped.

Oops, thanks @verticity . That's what I meant.

On the other hand, the Bob Marley picture started appearing on various Twitter feeds recently, but I haven't seen it anywhere else, and there is never any context given. It certainly does look like Bob Marley, but it is kind of weird because he lived before kava became popular anywhere outside the South Pacific (even in Hawaii it had been forgotten during the 60's and 70's when he was touring...). I guess it's possible if he ever toured in Fiji or something, but in that case why does he appear to be drinking it by himself? I would think the islanders would have given him a ceremony... I wonder if it's some guy who looks like Bob Marley?? So, I don't know, it might be real, but seems hard to explain...
...also: why is he using a t-shirt with his own name on it as a strainer?

I just meant Bob Marley. I am suspicious its photoshopped. Something doesn't feel right about those pants he's wearing; Not certain his head positioning looks quite right; and, as observed above, it seems weird to me that he would be doing the kneading, especially with a facial expression like that. And the strainer t-shirt with his own name on it looks pretty dry. Fun picture in any case.

It may be photoshopped.
AFAIK the best opportunity he'd have had to try kava was on his 1979 tour when he visited Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii.

Not drinking it, but sitting in front of a tanoa presumably about to do so. Lubricated Tongan Olympic athlete Pita Taufatofua, barely recognizable with a shirt on.
