Yeah, I had grandfolks that did the same thing. I'd still prefer if it could be poured over ice.

The Junky's Christmas by William Burroughs - the movie, not the recording on Spare Ass Annie!

First saw it on Christmas Eve in '96 while recovering from a dose of malaria. Good times!

I just shared Piobaires' story with Laurel and it made her cry. Good one...she insists we send you something for Christmas (actually your Mother). So now I have got a distraught woman and your Mother to worry about. I'll pm you in the morning if I actually need her mailing address. This is too funny. I'm going to go feed my new Coyote buddies...WTF are they doing in the middle of Seattle?

She's hinting to me a Blue Ray would go nicely with the flatscreen I got her last year. Consider that or a carton of smokes. FWIW, the Blue Ray might cost less.

Please tell me you don't pour your scotch over ice.

Is your favorite Xmas story when Charles de Gaulle flies around and delivers presents?

I do. Two cubes and it opens it up nicely. Some will argue neat, but IMO, you need the alcohol diluted a bit to taste the finer points. Others use distilled water, which basically has the same effect as two ice cubes, but doesn't chill the drink.

^+1. neat is for alcoholics who just need the fuel IMO.

My favourite ones usually involves sex, drugs and violence.

I drink it neat, but I have nothing against some water. It's the chilling that irks me.

Nobody in Seattle lives too far from a rez. What kind of movie (if Laurel is still feeling so emotional)? MORE CHRISTMAS STORIES!

I second Kunk and Piobaire.

In the warmer months I'll use the bit of distilled water instead.

Movie? Dood, she's expecting a blue ray player.

Scrooged, the movie with Bill Murray.
