Calling on the brain trust

[nevermore]

So, I just got back from a holiday party and since everyone was pretty drunk, we broke out some Baltimore water, aka Natty Boh. Inside one of the caps, we found this:

Now, all Natty Boh caps have one of these little puzzles, and they're usually quite easy to figure out even at that point in the evening when we devolve to drinking the Natty Boh, but this one has stymied everyone, and I've promised that the TrekBBS brain trust could solve it in minutes. Please justify my faith in ya'lls...

What the eff does this damn thing mean?!@

I am stumped. I even tried googling it, but nobody has this one figured out.

I think the <-W might mean "backwards" and the big N might mean "begin," but I really have no idea.

What is that sticking out the top of the beer?

The bottom part seems to be "in the west", the top part I dunno. Lightning bolt = Fastest, maybe, mug, looks like it's pointing to the head, or maybe it's some kind of tap, I really wanna say 'Fastest gun in the west' but that makes no sense. Bolt Head In The West. Nope.

 

[RoJoHen]

^That makes more sense than mine.

Could the beer mug mean "draw" (draught)?

Oh, it's been googled every way to Sunday. iPhones were a blazing, but no joy.

Seriously, yeah? At first glance you assume it's an arrow, but upon closer examination it looks like a guy in a tall hat or some shit. I don't know.

Yeah, we were thinking "in the west" for the second part, but the lightning bolt and the beer foam part are incomprehensible.

The best thing we could come up with was "Fastest head in the wast" which, while funny, is definitely not right.

"Fastest/Quickest draw in the west" is what I'm going with.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Ok, I think the mug is actually a pitcher as in pitcher in baseball, Fastest Pitcher in the West? Or what rojo said.

Hey-Oh! You rock! I think you got it.

Fastest draw in the West.

Fuck yes. I'm off to Facebook!

Mad props.

 

[RoJoHen]

Awesome.

Yay! I raise my Yuengling to ya!

28 mins, btw.

 

[RoJoHen]

I wish I had a beer.

Hours we passed this damned thing around. I told 'em the BBS would take care of it.

Now I can sleep.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Rojo's a barkeep so I'm not surprised he got the 'draught' part.

 

[RoJoHen]

Our powers combined...

 

[RandyS]

"Down the Hatch"?

 

[RoJoHen]

That doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.
