I’d like to sign up for a drink naming session too. I am a tee totaller but do like Jagermeister, rum and kummeling (a german liquor.) Not all at the same time. Ohhh, I also do enjoy Frangelico. Arnold, is that pear liquor available here in the US? ---

Ummm, OK, I am going to jump in here for poor Ike, who is even now cowering under his desk, “shakin’ like a aspirin leaf.” We all love him and admire him and toss rose petals at his feet (OK, that last one is just to see if he’ll slip on them and fall in front of the N train), but maybe we better give him a break, as he’s still recovering from his ace performance in his books thread. Why not toss this back at Wally—or our resident lush, UncleBeer—and have THEM hoist on this particular petard? ---
