Slugs?
Rampaging, demonic slugs of doom. That will be threat sometime next week.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ring of salt protects against *something*, but not vampires.
Slugs?
Yes, but not against those jumping slugs. Now in 3-D!

Because books.
Wow, I read some Laurie Colwin years ago and I had no idea she was a foodie and a cook, too.

If there are such a thing in truth, please keep that knowledge to yourself. Or reassure me that they're only in Australia, with that plethora of other freaky things, which will confirm my decision not to go there. Sorry, but your spiders freak me out.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
ALL SHOULD READ LAURIE COLWIN, esp. "Happy All the Time."
Do it. Dooooo eeeeeeeet.

There's also a bar in my neighborhood that does whiskey flights -- I just don't think that can ever end well
There's a bar in downtown Cincinnati that does this as well, I think it's Christie's. They have a very good selection of single malts and their flights are excellent.
Christie's is in Clifton -- are you thinking of Nicholson's (the place that claims to be Scottish)?
Also, do remember I live in Northside. Hipsters + whiskey flights = bad news.
Whiskey "flights"? Like, in an airplane? What is this strange and wonderful new thing?
I don't know that the genesis is with wine, but I first heard the phrase as "wine flights", which are basically 4 tasting-size glasses of wine, meant to be tasted in the same sitting. Often there's a common theme -- 4 different Pinots, or 4 Pinots from the same vintner, but 4 different years, etc. t edit It doesn't have to be 4 glasses; it can be any number, really, greater than 1.
And from wine flights you get beer flights (most brewpubs do this, where they bring wee glasses of all their beers), and now apparently whiskey, gelato, and bacon (!) flights.
Truly, we live in a golden age.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I believe the Yard House does sampler 6 packs. Basically 6 shot glasses filled with 6 beers of your choice.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've seen a bunch of microbreweries do the beer sample thing, but I don't think I've seen the term "flight" for it before.

Yeah, I don't think it's a beer thing.
