Suppose Talisker and Oban merged. Would that create Talliban Single Malt Scotch?

Not sure if this one, or the YouTwitFace was better :)

WD-40.

If it moves but it's not supposed to, apply duct tape. If it's supposed to move and it doesn't, apply WD-40. Takes care 90% of all household repairs.

But does it come in 0w-20?

Mac Guyver could make an atom bomb with those items.

Mac Guyver could build a supercomputer out of old Stromberg-Carlson radio parts and have enough stuff left over to build two laser death-rays and a UFO.

I have discovered an interesting SM that I plan to assay in some detail. Stay tuned. This stuff has a price tag that would give the Koch Brothers pause, yet I am tempted...

Actually, one of my favorite SM's was...Laphoaig. Advanced stuff for those just getting into the SM market but if you enjoy a dense smokey single...this will fill the bill. Best enjoyed traditional. No ice, a touch of water to open and preferably in a snifter.

I shagged along to my spiritorium this afternoon in search of a particular SM that I had seen when buying a rum. The name now escapes me, but it was a seventeen year-old SM finished in Jamaican rum casks. Sounded very interesting to me, all the more so since I am infatuated by the reduction of cane sugar to jollity.

Gone. Sold the only bottle on the shelf -- to the tune of $131 (US)! I strongly suspect the damned leprechaun that sometimes does my thinking for me got there first. Damn him. Probably for the best, though.

I balmed my savaged craving by opting for a Glenmorangie "Quinta Ruban," a twelve year-old SM aged in bourbon casks then matured to finish in ruby port casks from Portugal. I shall assay it later and, should I still be able to manage a keyboard, file a suitable report.

Don't wait up.

Count me in on that one, but please remember to include the "r" after the "ph".;) No...wait, a quick google turns up both terms. Gonna have to study to find the difference.

Laphroigh is the younger, and most intensely flavored Islay SM. I like it, but some say it tastes like kerosene (probably the same folks that think Patron tastes good!).

The other end of the Islay spectrum is Lagavulin. Now THERE's an ambrosia to delight the palate!

Thats easy then. Four loko or a chilled bottle of Cisco should do the trick and at a cutrate price.
