I never said you were fat; just that the drink sounds fattening.
I do not believe Lardy is really dead. He is NOT yet a registered voter in Chicago as of 5 p.m. yesterday.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Bartender! Can you recommend a good scotch to be stored in a vault as an investment?

Lard Lad special? Hmmm. Since I've never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lad, perhaps you could give me some information about him that fwould help me concoct an appropriate libation.

Originally posted by Fat Cramer: Bartender! Can you recommend a good scotch to be stored in a vault as an investment? Fat Cramer, I found the following bit of information that may assist you with your investment: Twelve bottles of "The Macallan" 60 year old unblended Scotch whiskey were recently released for auction in Milan. The bottles are decorated with designer labels especially created by Italian artist Valerio Adami, and each came with its own brass and glass display case. Described by the editors of "Wine Magazine" as "incredibly smooth, round and rich", an anonymous Scottish businessman entered a sealed bid for 15,000 pounds Sterling for each of the bottles numbered 1 - 6, thus making this the world's most expensive Scotch whiskey. The other bottles remained unsold but this did not discourage auctioneer Paolo Armani who speculates that in "five or six years their value will probably double".As for storing the whiskey in a vault, once bottled, the scotch will not improve with age. Here's a snippet discussing that: Potential buyers of single malt Scotch whisky should be aware of several things First, all scotch whisky matures and improves in oak casks. There really are enormous differences between whiskeys that are 8, 12, 16 or 25 years old. After being bottled, that development stops but the whisky can maintain its quality for 50, 100 or more years so long as the bottle remains sealed. Even after opening, blended whisky will not deteriorate provided that its bottle or decanter is tightly sealed. On the other hand, once single malt whisky has been opened, it will lost much of its power and flavor after 2 - 3 weeks.

Hmm... well, he was a tad chunky, as the name implies. And he had a heroic heart but was shrouded in tragedy. He was also a bit debaucherous, especially in the old days when our Cobie was still a young'un. But, most of all, he loved the LMBP. *sniff* Excuse me, I'm just a bit emotional...

Well then, perhaps you didn't know that I am a master brewer. In honor of Lard Lad we'll brew a special stout called "Lardy Ale".

I need a good Hallowe'en drink - black coffee and something orange... or something ghostly-looking. A Lardy Ale in a pumpkin shell?

Something else else ghostly - very simple, unfiltered sake.

I'll enjoy a nice drink for Lardy too. Kent is right about Coors though...

I'd drink Lardy Ale even if it weren't free!
Prost!

Lardy Ale has proven to be so popular, that SHAKES is considering a companion Lardy Lager for the lightweights.

I've heard the big corporations are trying to get the Lardy Brand to sell out and offer 'HUGEMANBREASTS-milk' and other non-alcohol products. Hopefully the brand will maintain its integrity.

I can assure you that SHAKES (which produces the Lardy line of beverages) will not be producing anything labeled "HUGEMANBREASTS" whether it be milk or otherwise. Besides, we're quite proprietary and would not license out our brand to others.

Semi? I'm surprised you didn't mention that Babette had been cast in the Heinekin Draught commercials? Congratualtions Babette!

Congratualtions Babette! Nobody ever tells me anything. (I'm still steaming about Rex or whatever his name is. )
