World Water Day is good, but what about a day for those who mix their whiskey or brandy with soda?

<<soda>>

I've always thought there was too much water in whiskey to begin with.

I once attended a rather swank before-supper party at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, where the only two bottles on the bar were Jack Daniels and Jim Beam. The bartender first asked "Jack or Jim?" and then, once the guest had expressed a preference, pointed to a pitcher of water and asked "Pollutant?"

>World Water Day is good, but what about a day for those who mix their whiskey or brandy with soda?

Why would anyone want to do that?

Laphroiag and soda?

Bushmill's Green and branch?

Abomination, sayeth the horde.

Darn it, eta: here I am at this very moment, eating waffles topped with strawberry preserves because I have to save the maple syrup I bought just yesterday for the Easter brunch--and you have to go and make my mouth water!! [payback e] Hmm, do you know, come to think of it, the Pure Canadian Maple (thanks again, belM) did seem rather superior to Vermont's... heh heh heh

>he Pure Canadian Maple (thanks again, belM) did seem rather superior to Vermont's...

I'm just going to pretend that I didn't read that.

Hee, hee, hee!

'At's parboly cuz you ain' eaten no New York state maple surple.

In reply to:

Hmm, it would be nice to be in a position to comment. I've had New Hampshire syrup, and Vermont syrup, (Vermont's much better), but sirop quebecois is an unknown quantity. I guess the quebecoise I know got intimidated when she heard that I'd tried the non plus ultra of maple syrups, from Vermont. Perfectly understandable, really.

When we were traipsing around the US and Canada (inadvertently) in 2001 we bought maple syrup. We had some from Noo Yok, Vermont, New Hampshire, Ontario(!) and Quebec. Frankly, my dears, I couldn't tell any difference. [/philistinia]

>I couldn't tell any difference

where's the Mrs. Butterworth's emoticon when you need it...

and Max is obviously a man with very good taste.

> Max is obviously a man with very good taste

yeah, he's a sweetie ;)
have you tried the fungible pudding recipe yet?

>he's a sweetie

this thread is becoming way too cadaverine.

had to look that up, and I wish I hadn't...

'At's parboly...'

When you eaten New York State maple surple you realize that Vermont's is superior to Quebec's?

As to "cadaverine;" is there a word for a noun that sounds like an adjective being cleverly used as one?

Check out Google today.

> a noun that sounds like an adjective being cleverly used as one?

English? ;)

Made me do it, anastrophic did.

Starry Google

Starry, starry search
Paint your logo yellow, blue and gray
Look out on a late March day
With eyes that know the darkness of my search
Monitor shadows like a birch --
I'll get some Windex cleaning fast
Catch the breeze as I wipe past
A kaleidoscope until the wetness dries

For Google could not find you
But still their search was true
And when no hope was left onsite
On that starry, starry night
I gave it up --
Web junkies often do

But I could have told you, Google
My search was never meant for one as Vincentlike as you

"English"

Heh?

> heh?

mav's just trying to put a spin on it...

That was wonderful, Saranita! [pat on back emoticon]

I'll second that - great, Saranita! I pertickly liked the allusion to the bright refractions of a wet screen :)

Great work, Saranita. On the verse that is - one should NEVER use window cleaning fluid on a monitor, as I'm sure you know well.

Yes, that's very slick and impressive!

Vernon, you are quite right, of course. Still -- the pretty colors are a great temptation.

saranita

use window cleaning fluid on a monitor I think I'd rather cut off my ear...

> cut off my ear...

such a loss to a painter...

fainter? who's fainter?

"Those who have ears, let them hear."

"Perhaps they'll listen now."
