## Uke, you are too cool. I’d like a drink named after me. To give you an idea of my tastes, my favorite drink is a Brandy Alexander (w/ creme de cacao, not Kahlua) I do not merely dance. I bewitch. I seduce. I enchant and I bewilder. Throw money. (Gee, Wally must have seen me dance!) ---

The Sip’n Fly: ## 1/8 Vodka 1/4 Orange Juice 1/4 Mango 1/16 Brandy 1/16 Rum 1/8 Gin 1/8 Sherry “I shot the sherrif, I shot the deputy too. No, it wasn’t in self defense. They both looked at me cockeyed so I capped 'em. Then I shot the mayor, then the firechief, decapitated the librarian, impaled the dog catcher, used a spoon to remove the groundskeepers eyes and sent the leader of the local KKK in full KKK uniform to downtown Manhattan. Then I made sweet love to the sexy 18 yr old intern, and it was all good.” ---

Uke, you have done me great honor with the Lux Fiat. Next NY-area doper gathering you, Manhattan, and Billdo are all getting Lux Fiats on me. Damn, I just like saying that. “Barkeep! Four Lux Fiats over here!” And verily, the bartender will not laugh. * * * “Are you frightened of snakes?” “Only when they dress like werewolves.” -Preacher ---

Me & my not-too-worldly self have never, ever tasted bourbon or Madeira. So Ike, can you give me an idea of how this is going to taste? I’m quite certain it doesn’t suck, but a description would be cool. I might try one in Chicago! * * * Cristi, Slayer of Peeps I made my husband join a bridge club. He jumps next Tuesday.

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by Cristi: > \*\*So Ike, can you give me an idea of how this is going to taste? > \*\* Bourbon tastes like…well, it’s not easy to describe. “Sweeter” and less smoky than Scotch. “Less sweet” and heavier than Canadian. Does that help? Madeira is a fortified wine from an island off Portugal. Madeiras run the gamut from very dry to very sweet; you’ll want to use the dry, pale gold Sercial in your **Cristi,** rather than the rich dark sweet Malmsey. ---
