I want more chocolate, Kat. Leonidas sounds goooood. I think I'll make brownies tomorrow. For tonight, I'll go to bed.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Though I expect it's changed a fair bit in 200 years.
Oh, no doubt. But I've only ever drunk the stuff as part of mixed drinks (mmm...whiskey sours). Which leads to my first question: what does the good stuff taste like? If a lady who was accustomed to drinking nothing stronger than wine were given some of her cousin's private stash from the family distillery (N.B.--must look up whether the family distillery would've been legal at this point in history), how would she react to it? And what would be an appropriate quantity of whiskey to offer someone unused to it if your goal was to help her bear up under severe stress (mostly emotional), but emphatically not to make her obviously drunk?
Thanks!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
a wee bit of bestiality, is that all it takes these days?Yeah well there was a bit of video from years ago on the internet (which obviously is for porn) that reentered my brain when you mentioned that bit. Gaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
I think I'm going to be weak and just download it from the ether in that way I shouldn'tWeak is good. Unless you are ita and making horse fellatio insinuations. And then weak is bad.
Stiffy.Must. Not. Make. Lesbian. Joke.
Or 12-year old joke.
Must remain silent obviously.

Depends on the whisky, but usually it's a nice sort of smokey woody taste, with a strong bite and a hint of sweetness. To someone unused to it, there is a strong chance it would taste appalling.
I expect a single small glass of the stuff would be enough.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's totally sad making. So sadmaking that I'm so overwhelmed by the sadness that I can only sit here, rock back and forth and say, "knuffle bunny".
This might convince Lori to go get you cake, since the song didn't work.

What Stiffy is. Lee (and, apparently Cass) get your head out of ita's brain.Sadly, I knew what it was. My brain still went to the dirty places.
And why do I know what Stiffy is? I can't even iron.

Thanks, Plei! That gives me enough to give the scene some sensory oomph. (Never a natural strong point with me, since I'm dialogue and introspection's bitch, but I'm trying to get better!)
