Infinite MonkeysHi there. New guy here. I guess it's up to me to break the ice.
So...
The most-cherished bottle in my liquor cabinet -- and by "liquor cabinet," I mean "the top of my microwave" -- is a 15-year-old Laphroig.
Am I worthy of your envy? Or your contempt? And does it change anything if I say that I fervently hope Barack Obama wins the presidency?
Will Hugh Hewitt revoke his blurb because I said that?
OK, I'm at the dance. Will anybody make eye contact with me? I'm so nervous.
Posted by Joel at May 8, 2008 04:05 PMYou made it! Lucky you. You're two hours ahead and well into cocktail hour. Welcome, Joel. Let's laugh to keep from crying!
Posted by: Ben at May 8, 2008 04:10 PMActually, Joel, Hugh's blurb -- "read them only with extreme caution" -- makes even more sense with you around. :-)
I'll make eye contact with you, pal. Might even take you for a spin. But you are what I consider you a four-scotcher -- and NO slow dancing! At least not until scotch #5.
Posted by: Dr. Zaius at May 8, 2008 04:35 PMFinally, a real man among the rum and gin quaffing Monkeys.
But please take the Laphroig off your microwave immediately and give it a place of honor. What is it with your liberals anyway? If you aren't desecrating the flag, you're desecrating good Scotch.

Man, I need a liquor cabinet.
