Occasionally, I would have too many and start bellowing "YOU AND THE CAP'N MAKE IT HAPPEN"

Guerilla marketing at its finest.

I need to read more Neal Stephenson.

A character spends three or four pages calculating how long it takes for Cap'n Crunch to get soggy. It's awesome.

But then, Cap'n Crunch in a flake form would be suicidal madness; it would last about as long, when immersed in milk, as snowflakes sifting down into a deep fryer. No, the cereal engineers at General Mills had to find a shape that would minimize surface area, and, as some sort of compromise between the sphere that is dictated by Euclidean geometry and whatever sunken treasure related shapes that the cereal aestheticians were probably clamoring for, they came up with this hard -to-pin-down striated pillow formation.

Occasionally, I would have too many and start bellowing "YOU AND THE CAP'N MAKE IT HAPPEN" every time I got a new drink.

Ahahaha!

Let's see. I don't like beer (cheap or fancy), I can't drink any alcoholic drink with fruit juice because it gives me a nasty stomach ache (WOE!!!!), I'm not really a fan of red wine, I still have vodka PTSD from two years in Moldova... and y'all begin to understand why my go-to drinks are bourbon and ginger beer if they have the latter, and Jack and coke if they don't. Or white wine, which I drank a lot of this weekend as the best alternative to all the (free)(shitty) beer.

It's that or moonshine.

hmm, maybe they'll have the captain at the F2F.

There's actually moonshine in my fridge right now, but it's my roommate's. I'm sure she'd share if I asked.

I will always be a scotch drinker. Glenlivet is my drinking scotch (which is different from what I might prefer if I'm having a night cap or treating myself).

Barb, I meant to try to answer your question earlier. Jon and I try to keep decent liquor around and then supplement when we want to try something new/we get a bottle of something good as a gift.

So we have on hand scotch-Glenlivet & Dewar's, vodka-Monopalova, gin-Sapphire & Tanq tequilia-Heradura. Then we've got random mixers and liquers. And right now as gifts/treats we have Laphroaig, 2 local wines, 1 Arkansas wine, some tequila in a Texas shaped bottle & a bottle of St. Germain so we can try some of the cocktails my friend made with it.

Hmm. Vortex's mention of Captain Morgan makes me wonder--what rum is good that's not Jamaican? I ask mostly out of idle curiosity because I can't see myself buying anything not of the homeland. I just have no idea. Never tasted anything I liked.

Rhum Barbancourt

I like Meyer's Dark Rum.
