I've seen several people over the years fishing a spinning reel like that, upside down and backwards. Pretty much exclusively paired with 12+ lb coiled up mono floating across the surface attached to a big red/white bobber.

I never knew there were special nights for drinking

I did so for many years. I had a rod stolen and was given a BC by a friend. I've  never had a budget for fishing supplies worth mentioning so I made due with what was available. I've since made up for the infraction by getting a proper reel on that rod and a second BC setup. Honestly though I had no issues getting good long casts. And I caught my 3 pb's with it so if I don't do well this year I may have to put the spinner back on it.

I have officially stopped as of August of 2016. I hope to catch a new pb that will be accepted as legitimate by my new found bass fishing family here at BR.

While this isn't a pic of a casting rod, this is 

what I've seen in at least one or two occasions

in the past many years.

Me too, and it's visited by some well-known celebrities.

For example, I believe that Cutbait was actually "Allen Funt".

We all know there are special nights for drinking, any night that was presided by a day is  a special night for drinking, however if a night is presided by a night it is not a good drinking night , but may not be a total bad one either

I only drink when I have something to celebrate or when I'm depressed.

But I almost never get depressed, only when there nothing to celebrate.
