Excellent point! Maybe he should call his headphone speakers the Oxymorons.

No way. Gene loves NEX.

What he^ said!

Yeah, the Carthusian seems to be a Greenpoint with green Chartreuse instead of yellow. The bitters component seems to be up for grabs because some Greenpoints have none, some have a dash each of Angostura and orange, and the B&B version has just orange. These are all variations on the wonderful Brooklyn -- and aptly named for neighborhoods therein -- this blog entry is a nice rundown: Exploring the Burrough. Duggeh needs to focus on the Bensonhurst given his Cynar substituting ways, and don't miss the Park Slope in the comments. Good detective work Marc!

I hope you get to work some wood on this special day! And maybe even make it into the shop. Have a great one, Steve! Cheers! p.s. Alden says: Steven!! Have a great birthday!

Whist Cocktail 1/4 Bacardi rum (1oz Zacapa) 1/4 sweet vermouth (1oz Perucchi) 1/2 Calvados (2oz Pommeau de Mormandi) I had to improvise alternatives in the same family as the Bacardi and Calvados but this is very tasty. Kind of like a spiced apple cider of cocktails. I wish I had the Clement silver rum I have yet to open and a Calvados would give it more bite still.

Warning labels are for babies! You've got plenty of blood, so drink up Dinny!

Problem solved.

Get bigger cables.

In reality, that was the same thing I referred to.

Toss a little Eagle Rare on top and see how that does.

Lucky!

Happy birthdays to a couple of Cali 'Casers! Cheers!

Jim, you should rent this movie (and the Extras DVD) to get inspiration. It is about the Carthusian monks who make Chartreuse.

His and Hers Chinato Manhattans 4oz Russell's Rye 2.5oz Cocchi Barolo Chinato 3 dashes Fees orange bitters Cherry Nice change of pace. Also, most of my booze is in Mayberry so the repertoire is limited.

PM Marc because he is at B&B tonight! Get him on the case.

I enjoyed World War Z and look forward to the movie. Maybe I will expand my zombie reading to a second book with Feed.

Russian River Consecration from a bottle to console myself for passing up Toronado's RRBC "tion" night. The list of special beers on tap was long but the crowd was 5-deep around the entire bar and I didn't want to get home late. Bummer.

I still haven't opened the Eagle Rare 17. Seeing as my Stagg is almost all gone, I guess I better give it a shot! Plus, I seem to have magically scored a High West Rendezvous so I want to crack that one as well.

Cool Todd! Enjoy the new toy.

No, but the phone support was escalated to a specialist or some such who thought that I should go in for one more repair effort. I then helped to convince the Genius that it was a lost cause and how much of a hassle I had been through. Thanks.

Kick it up a notch! Enjoy them Vicki. Yesterday, I bought AppleCare for a new 27" iMac that I received for free because my 2.5 year 24" iMac was in for the third time for repair in the last 2 weeks. Pretty sweet to get a new computer and then get insurance covering it for 3 more years! All's well that ends well, I guess.

Good luck with your talks and your B&B evening, Marc!
