Harvard Dropout Cocktail 2oz scotch whisky 1oz cherry heering 1oz French vermouth 1-2 dash Peychauds Stir, strain and garnish with cherry

Intriguing... I agree on passing on the Hellhound. I have a couple of bottles left but it isn't that exciting.

Try returning and replacing the adapter. It should not click, but I think I might have experienced that on occasion. I think it means the tape heads are not engaging fully or something.

I had a pre-order option. I still can get you 2 more if you want me to try, Lloyd. PM me with interest and max price per ticket.

Raffy really wants us to see that Harvest Ale! I'm having one of these: Americano 1 1/2 oz Gran Classico 1 1/2 oz Cocchi Italian Vermouth Add Campari (or Gran Classico) and Italian Vermouth to medium size glass with 2 lumps ice. Fill with Soda Water and garnish with orange slice.

4 tickets to Roger Waters Plays The Wall at AT&T Park next May, for a lot more than $71.

Be well, Shelly, and glad to hear it is starting out ok. No cocktails for you tonight, but valium on top of the other stuff makes everything seem just dandy in my limited op/post-op experience.

Ditto, except instead of hoping I am certain all will be well because if yours doesn't play out well then I ain't gettin' my surgery! It is great that you set up your A/V cave for recovery time, so relax and enjoy it as much as possible. And w00t! to Antonio for his imminent entry into Team Best Headphone in the World!

Waldo?

Congrats indeed!

I gotta agree.

Thank heavens.

Harsh.

Nice pickup John!

Congrat Jacob!

Monkey River Dance is disturbing.

That is frickin awesome, Jim.

Tramonto al Sud (Sunset to the South) 3/4 oz Nonino Amaro 3/4 oz Campari 3/4 oz bourbon (Blanton’s is suggested but I suspect Maker’s will work just as well) 3/4 lemon juice Shake vigorously and double strain into cocktail glass Ok, 1oz each. Interesting. Might knock back the Campari next time.

I think the periphery ring clamp is great and I have used it with plenty of drinks in me.

Tennessee Hollow Cocktail from link posted earlier today.

Nice pairing, Shelly.

Oh hell, I can't tell if those last two posts make me more hungry or more thirsty! Nicely done, gents. Just finished a house-made cappuccino but wanting all of the cocktails on this new list: http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-11-06/food/30368138_1_new-drinks-grapefruit-juice-david-wondrich

We monkeyed up The Monkey's birthday! Hope it was a good one Dinny! I'm going to make a Manhattan nightcap and toast your good health. Cheers!

Bummer about the Floyds. On the other hand, Claire and I use the term "Melvined" for any overtly grating and oppressive music so maybe you avoided more agony.
