The cute names of the Cupcake vodka flavors no longer bother me now that I know they say "vanilla flavored" and so forth on the respective labels. "Tree fruit" as a taste descriptor still gets a raised eyebrow.

I think the inherent thought of viscosity in the word mouth feel is what makes it seem dirty to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If gin were invented today, would it still be called gin, or would it be just another flavored vodka?
I was just reading something about how that's only true of sub-par gins or some shit?

The Chicago Tribune has an article today on sea salt (with a sidebar into the health benefits of wine).

Aha! I just addressed this the other day when I noted the difference between distilled gin and compound gin. Bombay Sapphire is a compound gin, which means that technically it is juniper flavored vodka. Tanqueray is distilled in a large copper pot, so it is Actual Gin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gin is ASS. And not in the good way.
Please, meeting, get to my part. And let me speak well when you do.

Sea Salt: Health benefits, NSM. Taste, definitely a difference.

I can't help it if God made your tastebuds wrong.

I had the rudest guest over for a game of BSG last night. Among other things, they brought their own gin, which was an Old Tom Gin, i.e., a gin with malted barley aged in oak. All I could think of was, "If I wanted scotch, I'd be drinking it."

I need fashion input from the board.
I'm going down to LA in late May to do my annual Tom Waits bus tour. I've decided to invest in a Ben Sherman mod-styled shirt for the tour. It's casual but nice and distinctive.
Here are the choices:
Romford in Acidic Blue (I'd call that sky or Pan Am blue.)
Also, Tom Scola needs this jacket. It's Scola-esque!
I like this jacket too for Tom.
