If you really want to blow Owen's mind, point out to him that, according to various English spelling rules, "fish" can also be spelled "ghoti."
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Do you have a brand recommendation?
I like Noilly-Prat, a French vermouth.
You'll need dry vermouth for martinis (with Gin!) and sweet vermouth (rosso, not blanco) for Manhattans.
I remember brain-farting in third grade and trying to spell "of" as "uv."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
according to various English spelling rules, "fish" can also be spelled "ghoti."
Yeah. I learned that on Batman (the TV series).

“Not dead yet!”
Brain saw this:
Can anyone tell me how to explain -tion words to Owen? He asked me how to spell "operation" last night and then proceeded to ask me why a "shun" word was spelled with "tion." I'm at a loss.
followed immediately by this:
Fuck yeah!
And idly thought, "Noooo... don't think that's the best way..."
Clearly, need more coffee.
Also more classical music. Although "Bacchanale" is what's next in the queue.
My brain is going to weird places today, isn't it?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
does anyone have any silver tequila recommendations other than Patron?
Herradura's my favorite silver.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I just figure that everyone understands I still believe the exact same stuff in that exact tone of voice.
Yeah, this. It's not as though my views are obscure or confusing to anyone at this point in our history.
My five year old was saying Dangit DANGIT DAAAANNNNGGGIIIIIT Dangit in class all day Tuesday. It was very cute. I didn't want to discourage it because it was probably provided as a substitute for what he hears at home. But I didn't want to encourage it either. It was so funny, though, because he wasn't really particularly upset at anything, he was just savoring its use.

Vermouth: Vya, Dolin, Antica, Noilly Pratt. Also, vermouth should be refrigerated unless being used quickly.
I've been enjoying high quality gin in vintage cocktails. If you can get 209 there, I recommend.
Scola is correct regarding Old Overhold rye being awesome and a staple no bar should be without.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, vermouth should be refrigerated unless being used quickly.
Oh, really? Crap.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's funny when Matilda drops a curse word into conversation.
The best probably being, "Daddy, you didn't say a "fuckwad"?
"Wha?"
"When the light turned green. The driver didn't go. You didn't say fuckwad."

So I just received my shirts from the TeeFury Grab Bag, and one of them is an American Idol "Pants on the Ground" shirt. I don't know if anybody still cares about one's pants being on the ground anymore, but I know that at some point, people here DID care, so does anyone want a men's M shirt?
