Okay, I just tried to watch Grey's Anatomy. What happened to it? Who are those people? Didn't I use to like some of them?
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I feel the same way ita. I think I am dumping it and going back to CSI.

Uh oh - I haven't caught up with last week's GA yet, much less tonight's.
Jesse, did you know you are no longer being a scofflaw with the flying with the lighter in your pocket?

I just did. I mean, I'll watch the almost 20 minutes I recorded to see if I get any pangs at having switched TiVo over to CSI, but I doubt it. There was no care there.
But I'm grumpy tonight. I can't get my phone to connect to my laptop.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I also adhere firmly to Daisy Jane's belief that a drink made out of vodka, vermouth and either an olive or an onion may be a delightful libation but it is not, strictly speaking, a martini.
Given that the name "martini" comes from the vermouth in it, I'm certainly not going to argue with you. In fact, if you said in someone's house in France that you wanted "un martini," you would get a glass of vermouth.
I think the objection was to the Vodka, not the Vermouth.

Some guy who wrote a book about meat,
But... all meat? In general? Or, like, how to cook meat? Or only beef? Was it an encyclomeatia?
ita -- it's this one, although even with shipping I found it cheaper at QVC's site. It seemed cute and small and functional. And the fact that the wine rack thingy is removable was kind of key. There were a couple of different finishes, if you're not into the natural wood.
I'll report on how easy it actually is to assemble when it gets here.

Damn you Trudy!
Yes, I missed quoting the first part of JZ's statement, which was:
I too adhere firmly to Jess's belief that a martini without vermouth is in fact a glass of gin.

If the wine rack is removed, is that bit tall enough to stand a normal bottle? My surplus is not of wine, but of spirits. Oddly enough I'm currently making do with a VCR rack.

I think so? Hope so. It looks like that section would be tall enough for a standing wine bottle, anyway. If there's room to stack 3 bottles sideways, I figure the bottom section must be 13, 14 inches.
Worst case, the mixers & what fits can go underneath and anything too tall can sit on top. I dig the wheels, but I don't think I'll be rolling it around at great speeds. Although it's a tempting thought...

Wait, I found measurements! Yay.
Nine bottle wine storage, open storage area (14"W x 10.125"H), utility drawer, side shelves (top side shelf is 11.5"H; bottom side shelf is 15.5" high; shelves can hold a bottle with diameter up to 3"); locking casters.
So without the rack, the bottom is probably between 14 and 15 inches. Which should suffice.
