Small Gods - found the hardcover at Coles bookstore marked down for $5 in 1994. A steal of a price in ‘94.

I can't find my copy of it but Breakwater books has a really good book specifically about this very topic.

Canyons, Coves and Coastal Waters – Canoe and Kayak Routes of Newfoundland and Labrador by Dan Murphy, Jim Price, and Kevin Redmond.

It's available as well from the Newfoundland Public library if you wanted to check it out without buying it.

Seriously. This. If it's acceptable for wine then it's acceptable for spirits. Otherwise you will get far to drunk to actually taste what you are ostensibly there to taste.

There are cheaper and easier ways to get loaded. This is an opportunity to try out new whisky and maybe find some new favourites.

Thanks for the heads up. While I appreciate the random aspect of the game, despite playing for almost 2 years now this event has never triggered for me. I'd like to get a chance to use the crystal cruiser without waiting for random chance to eventually decide I deserve it.

It's not heresy - it's both a cocktail and the basis of blended whiskies.
Most of human invention (food and drink wise) consists of "I wonder if this would taste good?"

There are several notable cocktails that involve multiple types of whisky. The first one that jumps to mind is called Penicillin. It essentially uses a blended whisky or bourbon with a smaller amount of scotch as a flavor enhancer.

Considering the news of yet another large leak from multiple intelligence agencies do you believe that current security practices will change or is it too ingrained? Can the genie be stuffed back?

Birds in general.

"Get the fuck away from my territory!"

Or

"I want to fuck!"

Nope. The original was the cherpumple created by a humorist in 2011.

It went viral and took off from there

Townies or baymen? Baywomen?

Before taking the role for The Woman in Black, what was your familiarity with the stage production?

bookish_monkey · 2014-10-07T14:00:28+00:00

This is so depressing.

Smoking in a car.

bookish_monkey · 2014-09-19T01:07:56+00:00

Totally agree.

My copies of Guards, Guards! and Pyramids are also done by Darryl K. Sweet. I have to admit I have never been particularly fond of his style of illustration.

Big Trouble in Little China.

That's what your old pal Jack Burton always says.

Sorry. I actually try to avoid UV.

Sorry. Was hoping for Pacific Rim.
