Moderator Thoughts, with EarlJam

Obviously, at first, the site will be full of green with moderator postings - like it is now.

This made me realize something - and my God, I never thought I'd say this seriously:

I love the MODS!

This is more awesomer than taking Anna Kournikova to a Flight of the Conchords concert!

Umm... what he said. But I think this not quite EarlJam. After all, he replied without inventing a few words. :)

Just while we're playing around and learning how everything works - but we'll try to contain things in the Grinch thread for that is why it was created.

I'm kind of partial to Maria Sharapova lately. Not that I'd kick Anna out of bed for eating crackers, or anything else for that matter, but I must say I do prefer Maria.

Any of the 327 tall white Russian female tennis players will do. They all seem to look, well, spectacular. What's in the vodka over there? :D

Has anyone tried this stuff?
Stolnaya Peperoni

A local retired industrialist recently went to Russia and came back with a bottle of this stuff. He gave it to a friend of mine, unknowing she had recently stopped drinking altogether. She accepted, in politeness, then gave the bottle to me. I've had it for about a month.
(She figured I might really need it...see "life is not good") So, my possession is third-hand. I haven't cracked the seal yet and I also can't find any reviews for it on line that aren't written in Russian, or at least in Danish.
A red pepper pod swims at the bottom of the bottle. I can't imagine what it might mix with. I'm open for suggestions.

Sounds tailor-made for a Bloody Mary to me.

What if not that? I'm not a Mary kind of guy.
I can't stomach tomatoes. I haven't since I got sick from a bad one 49 years ago.
I don't even care for Ketchup.
Mom used to can them in the summers and I had to leave and stay with my cousins 'cause I couldn't take the smell.

Jeez...I dunno then. If it's not in Bloodies, then I pretty much don't drink vodka.

And dry. Please not wet. I prefer you to pour vermouth in the glass, swirl it around, then dump down the drain. :D :D

Better yet, get a cocktail spritzer and give me the lightest of vermouth mist in the glass by way of two little squirts.

Just take the cap off the vermouth bottle and wave it around the room. :D
