@idiotking re: I just enjoy any excuse to be a dick.

@idiotking: I'd never heard that about Islay malts being a gimmick. Are you saying that the Islay distilleries have been marketing their wares to the US for 200-ish years? Seems suspect to me.

@Hellohello: If you're mixing it with coke, use the cheapest stuff available, and never bother with a single malt (JWB is a blended scotch).

*place* not play. Stupid malfunctioning brain.

My usual single malt is the Laphroaig 10 year, which is about $45 a bottle at most places (though I've found a play that carries it regularly for $29!). The Laphroaig 15 year is demonstrably better, but not worth paying $80 a bottle.

@JVS: Well, in that case, drool away.

Tubes?
If that AC/DC set actually has a built-in tube amp, then it is totally worth the price.

Yeah, but it's a Macallan, which I don't generally care for. Now, if there were a $38K Islay whisky…

@Supernaut — don't you mean "a net handle taken from the BEST SABBATH TUNE EVER…"?

I had a subscription to Maxim for about 5 years. It had such horrible articles (clearly written by and for the Axe/date rape crowd) that I wanted to let the subscription lapse, but they kept pulling me back in with offers of years' worth of half-naked pics of Eliza Dushku, Tricia Helfer, etc. for, like two bucks.

There. I said it.

I get the feeling that it will be Weston, not the Sons, that eventually kills Zobelle.

Yes, Wilder's stuff without Brooks is good as well. "Start the Revolution…" is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Gene Wilder co-wrote Young Frankenstein, which is the best of Brooks' films. Several people (including Richard Pryor!) co-wrote Blazing Saddles with Brooks. the second best. As for Spaceballs, I could pull a better Star Wars parody out of my ass.

Gene Wilder is only reason Mel Brooks' movies were funny once. Everything Brooks has ever done without Wilder sucked balls. These are scientifically proven facts.

Yes. It was cool when I was 14.

I don't mind the 8 girlfriends so much as the 8 20-year-old girlfriends. What was once the cool thing about Hef has become seriously creepy as he's passed into his 50s & 60s & 70s & 80s…

Nice guy
I met Maurice at a wedding last year. Real nice, down-to-earth guy. At the time he was very nervous about the Wild Things movie. It's good to know that he apparently likes the way it turned out.
