Happy fifth anniversary, Goodhandy’s!

That’s right. Today, Goodhandy’s celebrates its fifth birthday! Ironically, that means it’s not even old enough to drink yet. Unless you’re from the South. They bottle-feed with Everclear down there.

Anyway, in honour of this glorious day, let’s take a look at Goodhandy’s by the numbers, shall we?

Age of Goodhandy’s: five.

Age of Mandy Goodhandy: 20 something.

Age of Mandy’s tits: eight.

Average number of abs per bartender: five.

Average number of drinks it takes a patron to get super shitty: two and a half.

Number of movie references Todd Klinck will understand in his lifetime: zero (but only because it’s impossible to go into negative integers).

Number of annoying hipsters per night who ask, “Isn’t this the club from Scott Pilgrim?”: three.

Number of people who’ve had sex in the diamond rooms: 14,284,961. (Never walk up there barefoot. You will get pregnant.)

Famous person who may or may not but probably didn’t unless they did have gay sex in the diamond room: not Tom Cruise.

So, happy birthday, Goodhandy’s! And here’s to five more years of proving that Toronto is the single most slutty city ever.
