Came across this by chance, looked into it a bit, I don't think it is a joke.

Apparently it is only available at the Downtown Hotel in Dawson City.

Nasty.

   

Heard of it, never done it.

Had a newfie night one night with the whole kissing the cod thing set up, though we couldn't get a cod, we got a mackeral.

As an Islander, I thought it was a damned foolish waste of energy to kiss a cod then drink a shot of rum, so having had a drink or two before hand, I poured my rum into the mackeral and then drank it!

Grossed out the newfies!

   

Heard of it.

   

the original disappeared long ago. People actually donate amputated toes to this place.

   

Been there. Done that! Capn Dick Stevensen @ the Waymarc Hotel in Dawson City. I'm member #10,035. Everyone who partakes is recorded in a ledger. I will have to hunt up my certificate & the little autographed booklet that he gave me.
I'm also the first (only?) person to have done so with NON-alcohol beer.
We were travelling up the Ak. Hiway for the 50th anniversary in 1992 & hooked up with some 'clubbers' who were also doing the ride. Myself, a hiker from Nz who was riding with us for a few days & one of the other riders took part that evening.
The rule is that you order & pay for your drink of choice, hand over $20 to Capn. Dick, and he takes the toe -# 8 I think- out of its little wooden coffin & He drops it into your drink. As you tip back your drink, he has to see that the toe actually touches your lips. I took the damn thing right into my mouth, rolled it around a few times then with a big foolish grin, held it in my teeth for all to see! What an interesting character he was/is. The stories abound.

   

Done it. Can't recall my number though.
