  Pathetic Speakers

  this is great.

  i was suffering through an interminably long sunday p.m. public talk (we flip-flopped w/ the other cong--at least sunday a.m. was a little more tolerable because there was still some of the day left to do something).

  the speaker was talking about "physical training being beneficial for a little" and how some exercise was necessary.

  Yes- reminds me of the talk on the Galapagos "Turtle".

  I actually counseled the speaker after his public talk about the difference between a turtle and a tortoise, to his chagrin.

  BA- Man, am I glad I left!

  Brother Apostate,

  = Translation of above: hillary_step is a child who knows everything, why won’t you play by hillary_step's rules? Mommy, they won’t play by my rules, waaaaaaa!!!

  lol....I presume that this is the product of your own mind and that you needed no help to compile this gibbering trash?

  Face it BA, you are all washed up but you can't get clean.

  Who can argue against that L.O.G.I.C?

  BA- Confused by a schizophrenic. PS- L.O.G.I.C. = Lies, Onanism, Gobbledygook ,Idiocy, Crap

  Balvenie

  Enjoy in moderation, at room temperature, with just a splash of fresh water. Cheers!

  Yes thats one of my favourites aswell. Except i prefer it neat to get the full kick of that delicious taste. Theres a Balvenie Doublewood aswell, i think its matured in two stages in two different barrells.

  Yes, there's another favorite I missed!

  I like many types of whiskey-

  Single Malt Scotches-

  MacCallen (18 preferably), Oban, Glenmorangie are favorites (edited to add Dalwhinnie and Lagavulin)

  Blended Scotches-

  Johnny Walker Blue, Dewar's

  Irish-

  Bushmills Black or Jameson's 10

  Bourbon (Corn) whiskey- Baker's

  Rye- Jim Beam or Sazerac

  Canadian' Canadian Club, as well as a new one I tried made from maple syrup, called Sortilège

  BA- In my opinion, those are the best in each category, and I've tried many, many whiskeys to get to the short list above.

  PS- There are however, others, especially Single Malts, that were memorable.
