December 14, 201114 yr comment_486155 I already got my gift. Woo hoo! We did a classical music exchange with jvlgato. I was listening to Living Stereo albums and having a great time last night Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition, a Night on Bald Mountain, and Other Russian Showpieces [Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner] (1960) Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade / Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale (Chicago Symphony Orchestra/Fritz Reiner) (1960) Hector Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique (Boston Symphony Orchestra/Charles Munch) (1955) Report

December 14, 201114 yr comment_486180 The first of my packages to jim should arrive any minute now. The remainder have to be packed and shipped, so they'll be there sometime after pigs learn to fly... Report
December 14, 201114 yr comment_486184 Glad you enjoyed them, faust3d! I got mine, too, but haven't had time to listen or post. They look great, though, and I'm looking forward to listening and posting soon! Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486284 The first of my packages to jim should arrive any minute now. The remainder have to be packed and shipped, so they'll be there sometime after pigs learn to fly... Yep, no moss growing under this boy. Actually arrived yesterday but I was just informed today. Thank you. P.S. The first of your packages goes out tomorrow. Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486354 I hit 5 liquor stores today and none will ship alcohol for me. But what I sent manaox2 already is nice enough without the alcohol, so I'm gonna stop worrying and drink the stuff myself, and then send him a souvenir from Mexico later. Cheers! Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486356 That's ridiculous. You just put the booze in a box and ship it without specifying the contents. Over think much? Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486357 That's ridiculous. You just put the booze in a box and ship it without specifying the contents. Over think much? USPS Employee: Is there anything liquid, fragile, or potentially hazardous in this box? Larry: Yes...I mean no! Damn it! Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486360 I'm worried about the trouble I'd get into if they break it and it leaks all over the place, so I get caught. Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486361 the laws may look tough but they're only going to prosecute people acting as unauthorized alcohol distributors ( = they havent paid a big tax to do it) you're fine. Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486372 In my world, we'd say you have an over-active superego. Just be sure to pack it well. Or buy two bottles ... you can drink one, you'll be able to relax a little bit, thus allowing you to ship the other. If you want to practice (systematic desensitization), you can ship one to me. Though I might have to charge you. Edited December 15, 201114 yr by jvlgato Report

December 15, 201114 yr comment_486413 Damn, reading this re-assures me that I chose the wrong specialty I dunno. You guys get all the glory (and it's well deserved, by the way). Besides, I never get paid when I charge people for stuff like that. The HMO insurance requires a prior authorization, and it never gets approved. Report

December 15, 201114 yr comment_486439 How about a human head preserved in bourbon? Or in cognac ... human head Griottines ... might make a good Manhattan! Edit: oops, Kirsch liquer, my bad! Edited December 15, 201114 yr by jvlgato Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486441 I had missed that Al's comment. I think mescal is the adequate liquor for that Report
December 15, 201114 yr comment_486444 I thought that How about a human head preserved in bourbon? What about Fernet Branca? I thought that would be a good way to use it up and clear up space in the liquor cabinet. Report
