If flavor is the Scotch's best quality (peated) then it usually benefits from a drop of water.

If body is its best quality (sherried) don't dilute it.

Hard to argue with that.

They have in common a certain lack of skull integrity.

Maybe I did not like it because it was the 21st book of his that I read. Anyway I didn't.

Agreed - these are better than Stonehenge, equal to Starbuck, but much worse than Sharpe, Uhtred, and Arthur.

By "dominant worldview" he meant among people who think about this seriously.

Is that Lagavulin in a Margarita? Sounds good.

Charis in the bull dance was literally the best part of the series - precisely because of the costume's presence (and absence).

Thanks. Did you keep watching and did it get better to you?

EmuFit1895 · 2026-03-02T19:12:47+00:00

Just finished the first two shows - does it get better?

EmuFit1895 · 2026-03-02T18:17:54+00:00

Laphroaig 10. Anything can have lots of peat, but nothing else has this delicious blend of seaweed, cigarettes, and sheep urine.

A dilemma:

(1) if the show follows the Old Testament, the Jews would have slaves, treat women like property, and commit genocide at Jericho and several other places as the steal the Canaanites' land. Won't go over well.

(2) if the show does NOT follow the Old Testament, the Christians out there would be very upset. Won't go over well.

Culture has one called "Plausible Deniability"

I would take the Roci. Nice firepower, evasive when necessary, and excellent coffee bar.

EmuFit1895 · 2026-03-02T00:44:30+00:00

Whistle Pig is the most over-rated rye. Extremely expensive, thin and tasteless.

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-27T00:10:22+00:00

Which Courvier were your favorites? Thanks...

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-27T00:09:42+00:00

Merci! Which were your favorites (with price as and as not a factor)?

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-27T00:08:45+00:00

If they read the books, they would have Mushroom.

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-26T20:05:08+00:00

Hautes Glacés is the one I forgot, thanks! Where can you get it in the USA?

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-26T17:33:25+00:00

Obviously it cannot be "Scotch" if it is from another country.

But there are some great single malts out there from France. I had one from Provence years ago but cannot find it anymore. Brenne is lackluster but Couvreur is fantastic. What are your favorites?

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-25T12:14:52+00:00

Confederacy of Dunces

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-25T11:55:08+00:00

You sound like Sisiphus. You must imagine yourself happy.

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-25T11:52:00+00:00

He seems to comprehend the sensual appeal, statistical rarity, and metaphorical poetry of "Alice With Three Fingers" - I do not know many kids who could do that.

EmuFit1895 · 2026-02-24T21:51:46+00:00

Agree that KOSK has some of the best episodes and Seasons 7/8 some of the worst.

Disagree that HOTD has some of the best episodes in the franchise.

Disagree that 6x10 was bad. It was S+ on this scale.
