I've heard this before, but today it has finaly taken hold of me in a way that brain meds just don't. I'll be hitting the scotch & chocolate pretty hard tonight.

Thanks, man.

Damn, no problem.
If you have not tried it, may I suggest a bottle of Glenmorangie Port Wood to go with the chocolate?

We may have to have a SDMB scotch tasting somewhere one of these days. Maybe as part of Vegas dope '07

BYOB would be cheaper. Which ones do you want me to bring?

I think the primary reason there's only one scotch I like is because I can only afford a bottle every alternate decade.

Then plan on showing up in Vegas in August. We're happy to share!

I'm thinking of bringing the McDuff 27 and the Glen Livet 22.

Hmm...the two people who have eagerly volunteered to "man the BBQ grill" at LasVegasDopefest07 are the same two people planning the 1st Annual Las Vegas Scotch Tasting...

All those who predict disaster, raise your hands....

Dmark Did you really think you were going to get me in a French maid's outfit sober?
Actually it's Gin and Tonic when in the sun running the grill. I thought everybody knew that.
The scotch comes later.

I will of course bring the Port Wood Glenmorangie, and I think I may have a bottle of Blue around somewhere.

These are known as "Blackened" in the trade.
