My brother was bitten by an aardvark.
(technically, and anteater, but aardvark is close enough and more fun to type.)
I was off rum for a while after a run in with bad fish followed by rum and cokes, but over that now.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Because books.
I agree. Uh, with the stuff about SoCo.
I have very few opinions on aardvarks.

I'm told the first recorded game involved angry monks. Seriously.
That sounds alcohol-based to me.
Aren't monks responsible for some liquors? Chartreuse, I think, and probably others. Go team drunk monk!

Isn't the alcohol kind of a given in Scotland, or is that just my extended family?

What cocktails are tasty with gin in them? I should branch out from the gimlet some day.
Might I suggest the Scarlet Fever?
Fever-Tree Gin and Tonic
--1 jigger (50 ml) gin.
--A balloon glass.
--Fresh ice, at least four big cubes. Clear cubes from spring water if possible.
--Fever-Tree tonic water from the fridge.
--Lime, a curl of the rind of a lime. It's the oils you want not the flesh (or a slice if you must).
Scarlet Fever
Mix as for gin and tonic, but add a splash of Campari. Try a wedge of lemon this time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
seems to have been a winter version of golf
I have a similar theory about the invention of golf, actually. Only the dialogue in my head goes more like "Dude! How much do you want to bet I can thwack this rock way over there!"

Tequila tastes like hairspray! Ew.
(I know, my opinion is suspect, for I like Fernet, absinthe, AND chartreuse.)
