Another geezer here (geezette??? can a lady be a geezer?).

No, a lady can not be a geezer. A lady may be a geezelle, should she wish.

My question is answered: definitely NOT flatlanders--we: my husband LOVES Moxie...always some waiting for him when we come up...trust me-- you do NOT get it here!! Me ,not so much, but I'm with you on feta cheese and black licorice! Anyhow, Moxie is seriously a New England thing...and that is an awesome bottle you have! We also remember when we were kids it was always "tonic"! Tonic was always "wicked good" on a hot day!

Not my bottle - nabbed that pic off from the interwbs. Though I do have...well more than a couple pre-FDA antique medicines in my collection, including a couple moxies. Needless to say, Mrs. Crawford's a very understanding lady, putten up with the veritable patent medicine museum we live amongst. She's partial to the big Moxie bottles, which are ideal for bonken me upside the head when I listen to the Tom Waits albums too loud and eat all the feta.

LOL! gotta love the power of moxie. Mere mention alone's defused a contentious discussion on who gets to belong to the "We're from here and you ain't" subject at hand.

Since this has morphed into a quasi-moxie thread, here's a link to a vid of a NH Chronicle segment that aired this week. I prefer vids embedded in the thread, but WMUR's web site didn't provide the code. Apologies for making you take the extra step http://www.wmur.com/chronicle/23526620/detail.html#

There's also a group that's called the Moxie Congress. Site: http://www.moxiecongress.org/

It says they got a facebook page too. I don't do facebook, so I haven't been. With my mug, if I were to upload my face into the internets, I'd prolly break the world wide web.

OK, I can live with "geezelle", I guess...sounds like "gazelle", which implies a lot better than it really is, in my case!! Rolls off the tongue as well as "flatlander", too! Bottoms up, you Moxie drinkers! NuGrape for me!

A flatlander is one thing but I can't stand a flatlander with Moxie!
