Does anyone have any funny or otherwise great drinking toasts to share?
I'll start - my friends and I overheard this one from a group of girls in Orlando a couple of years ago:
Here's to storks that bring good babies.
Here's to ravens that bring bad babies.
And here's to swallows that bring no babies.

Not off colour or funny, but this is my favourite:
To Absent Friends,
Lost Loves,
Old Gods
And the Season of Mists,
And may each and every one of us give the Devil his due.
Stole it from somewhere...
Sandman IIRC.

I've heard that one, except like this:
Here's to you
Here's to me
Friends forever
We shall be.
But if by chance
we disagree
F*ck you!
Here's to me!

My friend Jeff used to always say "Get Honor" and then clink glasses and afterwards he would say, "and stay on her" which indicated that the first statement was actually, "Get on her."

Anyone here remember going to see the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" reruns at the cinema, and throwing pieces of toast up in the air when the screen peeps said "A toast!" ?
heh. I did.

Done the deed too!
My favourite toast (phonetically as it's just about all I know in Catalan)
Salut, ee forga al canoot
Which apparently is an old man's toast, meaning something along the lines of "good health, and a good shag!"
others - 'Slainte' (Irish/Scots Gaelic), 'Kum-bay' (Korean), and ye olde 'Bottoms Up'.

"To our wives and our beloved-
may they never meet."
okay, that´s a stolen one from Captain Jack Aubrey (Patrick O´Brian)
My favorites are "Skol" - which is icleandic for cheers or
"An ven" which is the same in sindarin (elvish language)

Is a common nordic toast, spelled slightly different in the different norse languages. It's "skål" in Danish. The word is pronounced with the å like the o in Joe, and with a short laryngal ceasure of the airflow just before the l, the characteristic barfing sound of Danish that foreigners find so hard to immitate
.
The word has the same root in all norse languages: the old Saxon "Skâl", likely to be related to the prefered viking drinking vessel.
What varies from country to country is how much it sound like we are about to barf in the pronounciation. And it's not from drinking, it's
supposed to sound like we are barfing. At least in Danish

It's from the pickled herring you had before the drinking started?
