Hey, I just got a bottle of 10 year old Laphroaig as a gift. Is it any good?

Right-O Thom!

What do you drink anyway?

Do you like single malts?

He likes boiler-room coffee, so I doubt if he'd go for single malts,
especially Islay.
Maybe Jim Beam?

Max

Do you like single malts?

A crackling fire and a bottle of 20 year old Lagavulin contribute to a
fine evening for me. I love Highland and Lowland scotches, too, but the
Islay are the best, IMHO. My wife loves them, too. We also love Irish
whiskeys, too, but single-malts are rare in Erin.

And you?

Max

How about one that is not quite so corrupt?

In any case, though he may be more qualified, he's still just a
politition after all is said and done. He just wants to get elected,
nothing more.

Are you proposing an entirely new class of individual seeking the highest
office in the land?

Beyond Ike, I can't recall any apolitical presidential candidates.

Thanks for the insult, but it doesn't change whether you can or can't
understand what Frank is talking about.

I hope they're safe. My thoughts are with our people -- of whatever
branch of service -- wherever they're deployed. I got a call last week
from a friend who's going to Kosovo for a year. I'd almost forgotten
that we were still there.

I have many friends in Iraq now too. I told them before they left:
"You're an American soldier. So hold your head high. But you're in a
combat zone, so keep your ****ing head down. You figure it out."


I tell him to keep his head down. There's stress every time the phone rings.
All he wants is to be able to spend sometime in a place where he doesn't
have to have a buddy with him and carrying arms. His "bedroom" has 50+
bullet holes in it. He's under the gun 24/7 for months on end. He was just a
kid when he went in.

Single malts are the only liquor I can enjoy. The rest are too sweet or
taste like gasoline. I don't drink enough to go through a lot of them, but
they are enjoyable. I have a bottle of Glenfiddich, Glen Mornay(?) and one
other. I've had a large bottle of Maker's Mark for over 25 years (don't
drink it much).

What I'm anxiously awaiting is the bitter fight between Hillary,

watching the Democrats once again fractionate themselves while
someone
like
John McCain waltzes into the GOP nomination.

Looking at it from this great Socialist bastion to your north, I have
to
agree with you. I don't think the Dems have a chance, no matter who
they
nominate, the poor ******* will be like a race horse with two jockeys
facing opposite directions.


McCain, a centrist butt-kissing conservative, who disappointed a lot
of people when he sucked up to Bush so he can get the nomination. He's
even using the same attack-dog people Bush used. Very disappointing.

Thankfully a lot of Democrats disagree with you. McCain is more
qualified to lead than anyone the Dems or GOP have put up for office so
far.

Max

Where will he lead them?

Out of the dark and into the light. Walk toward the light . . .

It may be a bug zapper.

Yeah, rumor is it only shot twice, bent some beams, and dropped the
overhead in the officers mess, but if you look closely next the the
radio shack you will see the 50 cals, we had 4, dozen BAR's, M-16, Colt
1911's ect. And while at sea we had several shotguns and shot skeet of
the helo deck while sipping cold beer.

You are mistaken Gilly it was more like a floating repair shop / bar,
playboy mansion, frat house, traveling circus with a large fleet of
boats.

Did you have a shipmate who was a Playboy playmate?

You're right. It doesn't change whether or not I understand what Frank is
