Ahh, the Senäts. I've always smelled this hallowed Chamber from the Cosa side, and now that I'm here, I must say, I think the air is at least 80 proof. (Please, no one light a match or anything.)
I echo the statement made by my distinguished colleague, the Senator from Vuode, as I too am looking forward to working with you all. (Unlike my colleague, however, no one left any Cheetos in my desk drawer. Only dried up wads of bubblegum...)
As is tradition apparently, I being one of the new Senators must restock the bar. Thus, in honor of my homeland of North Carolina, USA, I bring with me some good 'ol White Lightning.
Finally, I profusely thank the Senator from M-M for his welcome offering. I've never had Burgoo before, but here's to new things!
Cheers! The Senator from Maricopa

At a place called Ft. Bragg... While not familiar with the " 'ol White Lightning" (yet), I did enjoy the version of BBQ served in your area!

And I agree, the BBQ is great from that side of the state; the western side where I live currently isn't consistent with vinegar based sauce and can vary considerably.

Once everyone checks in ( and that includes my good friend, the Senator from Atatürk) , Our first order of business will be to elect a Mençéi. (That is, of course, after our new Senators have finished restocking the Bar with libations.) I would ask that Nominations be presented by the 15th of January? This would allow us to question the prospective Candidates (if need be) and then we could then hold our election by no later than the 25th of January. And, as a welcoming offering, I have set up a round of Kentucky's finest Bourbon - "Woodford Reserve", and have a pot of Burgoo over on the fire.Ah Sir Capt Mick! Happy New Year! By happy coincidence, I polished off my bottle of Woodford Reserve tonight, which I received as a token of affection from one of my apprentices. It's good stuff! As for nominations, I nominate, or Mick, if you will, Sir Capt Mick Preston to continue as this Ziu's Mençéi. He did a fine job last time and I'm sure he will continue his tradition of not messing up too badly. Plus, if he continues to share Woodford Reserve, this will be the best Ziu ever!

My friend - if it were legal, I would make it my goal for you to always have a bottle of Woodford Reserve always in your cabinet!

I second the motion in favour of the Senator for Maritiimi-Maxhestic for Mençéi. T

I support or second or third or Mick (whatever is appropriate) the nomination of Sir Mick as Mençéi.

I certainly have no objections to Senator Preston continuing to chair this august body.
Surely the new Senators should get to make "maiden speeches"? I've been working on mine and it may surprise many of my new colleagues.
