Until now, the top spot on my list of the world's sickest word combinations has always been shared by "sack lunch" and "moist panties." However, all that changed with an announcement from Seattle food institution Ivar's, announcing the search for a new cocktail to add to their drink menu: the "Clamtini" (shudder). To that end, Ivar's is running a month-long regional search for the most innovative "Clamologist" among us. Sick and amazing.

So dust off that bottle of Clamato you've got hiding in your pantry and start mixing. You have until October 31 to perfect your Clamtini—the savory possibilities are endless: Bearded Clam? Fishy Bloody Mary? Bivalve Sex on the Beach? Old-fashioned Sideclam?

According to Ivar's pun-tastic website, entries will be judged on how "creative, original, and humorously themed" the Clamtini recipe is, and how easily re-created said Clamtini is for judging and serving in restaurants. The grand-prize winner will receive "500 clams" in Ivar's gift cards, along with the listing of his or her Clamtini on bar menus complete with photo. Entry forms are available at all Ivar's locations; for more information visit www.ivars.net.
