Only if you don't use Gin! Vodka with those unchemicalized olives (ya know the ones that turn black), only green!!!!!!! ;)

1020 to go. CellR, you are staying up all night to work on this, right?

Does he get extra credit?

Nope. Martinis may only be gin. With an olive. Anything else is NOT A MARTINI!

I also enjoy a gibson. Gin, vermouth and cocktail onions.

The only true martini is a gin martini.

Or break out the really good stuff: Glenlivet 21 yo The Archive?

Hmm, haven't tried that!!!! IS that good? Expecting a review!

It is excellent. One of the best I've had. Maybe we should start a "Ymm, Scotch" or "Ymm, liquor" thread? I'll post some tasting notes next time I have a dram.

I've wanted to be a scotch consumer, but every time I try it burns going down my throat. I've tried some real Irish whiskey, though can't remember the name of it, and McCallum's (sp?). Is there a milder, for lack of a better word, you recommend to set me on this path? I feel like I'm letting my Irish roots down.

Very cute!

That is one of my favorite scenes, though nothing tops Penny's Christmas present to Shelden (I don't feel like looking up the correct spelling of his name).

Any time K68 has an "oh I see" moment, my response is usually "what does that mean?"

Bushmill's is quite smooth.

I played Warcraft when it was a stand-alone game. I never got into the standalone stuff.

What is O I C? And is it contagious like swine flu?

I'm breathing down bjornolf's neck now. May as well go ahead, pass him, and get onto the podium tonight, right?

Got it, I should have after seeing Tilly's post above.

I need a scotch

Ron Burgundy: I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly...

Hey now, are we talking HOP scotchy (no offense intended), but you can't have developed a taste for scotch (ya know that stuff that you have to be 21+ to drink) yet, correct? If the latter, becareful, that stuff is addictive and can get you in a lot of trouble if you enjoy for anything but the taste!

[YmoBeThere]

I just don't drink very much at all...

It is a reference to "The Big Bang Theory." The girl keeps hearing the head geek say AFK. She asks what it means and when he tells her she responds "oh, I see." Head geek asks "what does that stand for?"

You really need to check out "The Big Bang Theory." I don't get a lot of the theoretical physics stuff, actually I don't get any of it, but there is plenty of other stuff to LMAO.

Start with whisk(e)y over ice with a splash of water. As you grow accustomed to it, use less water.

I'd recommend starting with Irish Whiskey. It tends to be less harsh (they use less malted barley, meaning less smoke gets in the distillate) than Scotch. Some Irish Whiskeys tend to be fruity in fact. Red Breast Irish Whiskey is my favorite fruity (there's definitely a hint of peach in there) whiskey.

Macallan is a good starter Scotch. They age most of their whisky for part of the time in Sherry casks, reducing the harshness, they also don't use very peaty malt (there isn't much smoky flavor to it).

It's a movie quote. Ron Burgundy is the main character (played by Will Ferrell) in 'Anchorman', IMO one of the funniest movies of the past decade.
I salute you, CellR.
