_gives mint julip to **Puprlkid\_Caterer** _

There’s lots of kindness if you know where to look for it. For you, milady.

_aside to **Rysto** :_  
(That was an awful mint julip. Awful. I took one sip and spit it right back.)  
[/QUOTE]

Looks like this glass is dirty. Maybe I’ll pass this time after all.

Just as I was about to reach for it. Kindness is lacking in society today. ☹  
[/QUOTE]

Too true. Everybody’s jumping on the band wagon of meanness and selfishness. If this keeps up it’s going to be an ugly party. Here, I’ll make you another mint julep - **Zoggie’s** recipe is really quite good.

Darn it, I didn’t see **ArizonaTeach** there. Oh well, now you have two - and I used a clean glass. There’s no grease on this one.

So, is that a no to my offer of a glass of water?

Water, schmater! I want real drink! Maybe firewater…but definitely not one of those mint juleps. I hear they suck…

[QUOTE=Diomedes]

[/QUOTE]

I’d say ones set in contemporary times, especially ones satirizing aspects of our culture–like, for example, _Dave_. Sure, it’s a little uncomfortable sometimes, but it makes us think about how far we still need to go in even a society as great as ours.

Mint Juleps? Sure, I’ll sample one. I’ve always wondered just what they taste like.

Lest you think I’m nothing but a wilted flower, I do object.

I’ve got a couple of grams of blow in my purse that says otherwise. But I am a lady in one respect–I like to share! 😉

Hi, everyone, well the marathons are done. What’s been happening?  
BTW: [Heckle and Jeckle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckle_&_Jeckle) were the Talking Magpies. Classic theatrical cartoon shorts. About on par with Woody Woodpecker, one great cartoon and mostly crap, but interesting.
