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

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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

If you make it all the way through to the end of Grey's there is a scene in an elevator that is laugh out loud funny.

So, I'm going to a work conference in Huntsville, AL all next week. What's the can't-miss things to do, and more importantly, eat, in that vicinity?

I've got a wee bit of free time, maybe Sunday night and Tuesday night, and a rental car. Unfortunately, the days are all booked up with work.

You know, I've heard so many variations I'm now confused. What is the classic martini recipe anyway? Or, to avoid stirring up a fight, what are the two competing recipes for the classic martini?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

4 oz gin, 1 or 1/2 oz vermouth, stirred (classically, though I prefer shaken) with an olive or onion.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey TB, have you read a book called The Bottom Billion by Paul Collier? I'm reading it at the moment, and I was wondering what you thought of it.

Our wings are not tired.

Lori, when I had to visit a clinical site in Huntsville, I visited the space center and ended up having a pretty damned good time!

Billytea have not read it. I admit the call for "carefully calibrated military interventions" is one I find suspicious, but can't comment until I read it. Unfortunately, my schedule is full until July.
