On the original topic of Scotch -- there are two good cheap funky bars within staggering distance of what I've been known to refer to as the Mishadome.
One has Laphroaig for $6 a pop, and the other has it for $5. Now, since the beers I can drink run somewhere between $4 and $5 at these places (one does have cheap-ass beer for $2.50 per, but it's cheap-ass beer), I feel wrong not drinking the Laphroaig. So I can say from experience that if you're already a Scotch drinker of any kind, the tolerance for Laphroaig is (a) quickly picked up, especially if (b) you're drinking a lot of it at once. So (c), if you find the right funky bar, it's a very affordable night out. And (d), now I want a drink, and I need to get back to what I was doing before I logged on instead.
This is really, really funny.
Anyone have a Speranza link? It's in my bookmarks ... somewhere....

Damn. It would be really fucking difficult for me to figure out what fic author I would want to read before I die. It would be either Speranza or Ple.
Damn, guh, glurble.
Question re. boilermakers (I actually need to know this for a fic). Does a boilermaker always involve dumping the shot into the beer, or can one alternate? I'd also imagine that a boilermaker hangover is pretty nasty stuff.
Some people consider it still a boilermaker if you're shooting and chasing, but they're wrong like wrong things because, damn it, that's just shooting and chasing.
The classic boilermaker in school involved actually dropping the shot into the beer, glass and all.
That's the only boilermaker I know.
And I loathe gin, but I always liked watching my college roomate's BF making a martini -- he'd pour the gin in the glass, pick up the bottle of vermouth, wave the bottle (closed, of course) over the martini glass like a magician, and then drink the martini.
Damn. It would be really fucking difficult for me to figure out what fic author I would want to read before I die.

Um, is this an actual concern? Don't die, s.a.!
I think it's another meme. Or, at least, reminds me of one.
