The urge to run to the car and be there by 3am is strong. Very strong.


But the whole having no real ambition thing ruins it.
Proverbs 31:6&7

"Pain is sometimes the price of laughter."-Oggar

"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane"-Marcus Aurelius

And afterwords we can run amok! Or if you're too tired, we can walk amok.

I had a glass of the Jura 12 here tonight, at our monthly Scotch tasting it finished third behind the Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix and, get this, a high end Chivas Regal, a blend!! I'm hoping to snap up the Prophecy next weekend on your, and an earlier recommendation in this thread.

again, I must say that the Chivas Regal Royal Salute is a heavy, no doubt about it.

Springbank 10, Balvenie Caribbean Cask, the MDM recommended Isle of Jura Suoerstition, and WTF!!! a bottle of the omnipotent Old Potrero join Bar Casino.

Yes, the Potrero is not a Scotch, but since the mighty Laphroaig made an appearance in the Bourbon thread, Old Potrero is here, now. and trust me, it is a muscular representative.

I can guarantee you with 100 percent certainty, that when we finally meet, not only will none of those bottles be finished, but one or more may still be unopened. We will remedy that.

I, and these bottles, and all the other bottles I've posted in this thread, and there have been many, will be waiting. Why? Because none have been finished yet. Yet, is the key word here.
