Hence, my use of "blowhard" in my post.

This is a very very very long story that you only had to say this about it - an "ancient Chinese secret"

Blowhard or not, he deserves credit for saying this.

For a town with no upward growth trend, I'm amazed Cincinnati is pretty high up there.

White Man Can Throw

Seems pretty hard to read. I gave up on it.

Except maybe for when I confessed the same things to my mom on Family Week. But she was a trouper.

Will by the way, this was a nice article you wrote. I never knew it would cause so much grief, with people writing about how Patron, Grey Goose, etc., is over-priced (they're probably just getting those brands mixed up with the so-called snob appeal of their labels) and on and on. Whew.

Why can't they just show this shit happening live? I know the networks think that by not showing it it will prevent it from happen but that's ridiculous. Dumb-asses are going to do it whether they show it or not.

Question - do CG's have spell-check now? I know the old analog ones didn't so I'm wondering if the new ones do? If so, then this is simply a case of the college intern doing the typing not knowing the difference between parody and parrot.

But that's just it. The drink *I* make at home is with cheap ingredients and it tastes great to me. Who's to say that if made that same drink and served it at a fancy bar in NYC the customer would say, "Wow, good drink!"

It is what it is. It tastes good. You may like a $20 bottle of [insert here] and you may think it tastes awesome. Who knows?

Yeah, I mean I can only speak from experience you know? No matter what people say about Petron or what have you, it's good stuff alone. Goes down smooth and has a nice taste (at least I think it does).

The point I'm making is no matter what drink you're making, there's no need to pour a $40 bottle of Petron in a mixed drink. That shit tastes too good by itself.

Nah what a waste of good liquor. Get the cheapest brain rot gin, vodka, rum, and tequila, some triple sec, some Daily's sweet and sour, and coke and you've got a great long island.

No, you wouldn't, not if you were making a great salary, having two-drink daily lunches, and hooting it up with boys.

OK thanks. I was always a fan of Larkin, who pretty much kept his head down and did his job and did it well (I grew up in Cincinnati so I'm a little biased). Just wanted to understand what you meant.

Thanks.
