I love Sambuca. With or without the coffee beans. It's a good thing I don't drink it anymore. Those were some fun (but messy) times.
The one time I drank Ouzo, we ended up dancing on fireplace mantels and ceiling beams in a house on Nantucket. I am amazed that no one was seriously hurt that night.

I don't remember the details of my first Sambuca experience, but I do remember that there were flames involved. I'm pretty sure it was college, and I'm pretty sure that I was fascinated with drinking something that had just been on fire two seconds before I drank it.
I'm easily entertained.

Writing in The Local, an English-language site for Swedish news, Jeanne Rudbeck sniffs around but is unable to come up with any fresh intelligence. “The secrecy this year is absolute,” she writes.
She does ask around in the publishing world, though, and comes up with the unconvincing and mildy wacky list printed below (Vargas Llosa and Fuentes to share it?). It’s a list that ignores a lot of the names that are often thrown around this time of year - Margaret Atwood, Nuruddin Farah, the Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer, and remember all that talk about Bob Dylan? Here’s Rudbeck:- Hot tips from Deep Throats:
Ko Un, Korean poet
Adonis, Syrian poet
Lukewarm tips:
Amos Oz, Israeli novelist
Don DeLillo, American novelist
Cormac McCarthy, American novelist
Mario Vargas Llosa and Carlos Fuentes, Latin American novelists, to share it

It's possible (and stupid) to drink two different types of alcoholic drinks during a day. Drink some beer, pass the bottle of 'buca, drink some more beer. Repeat.
We were not klassy drinkers. We were 19 - we were going to drink anything we could get our hands on.

Reading rec.:
Jeffrey Archer, False Impressions
About 9/11, post 9/11 art, and Romania, it was a fast and compelling read.
***this morning I was reading that Lauren Weisenberger book post the Devil Wears Prada I was totally mortified that the guy next to me was reading the latest David Halberstam [hi! NB]. I felt like a noid or snikr.

The NYC Mom Killed by Arizona Pigs
Bad example. You can clearly see from the video that this woman failed to respond to the officer's inquiries in a cooperative manner. The police officer, instead of using his fists, mace, night stick or gun, simply shakes her a few times in attempt to bring the woman out of her drug-induced haze. As an unintended consequence of this, her head brushed against the cop's vehicle. When the police officer noticed this, he gently eased her to the ground to get a better look at any damage she may have caused herself.

It's actually "strange things are afoot at the Circle K." I think there may also be a "dude" involved somewhere. Sorry for the Bill & Ted timmyness. It's a compulsion.

Me too! I'm glad I STP'ed.
I have arak at home, which is yet another variation on the ouzo/sambuca/pastis licorice-flavored fun. Um, I mean anise.

which reminds me. I just got back from lunch. before that i ran so i was slugging down the water. I was at an outdoor table, by myself, doing important legal reading. about 4 tables away (10 yards maybe) sat 3 women. I young one, 25 maybe, was facing me. the other two were about 50. Daughter mom and aunt? Daughter mom and mom's lover? who knows. the young girl had a low cut thing on and kept leaning over. She had nice cleavage.
Guys react to cleavage 3 ways: some look for awhile, look away, look back, etc. Of course the further away you are the longer you can spend in the looking at position. Guys like coltrane just stare, slack jawed. then there is what I call the "atticus". this guy turns his head away completely, so he doesn't feel dirty. he would have stared at the building across the street the whole lunch.
Here's my question though, the older women didn't even look at the younger woman. Because she is family maybe, but cleavage is so magnetic to a guy i wondered; do women stare at nice cleavage?
It isn't necessarially a sexual thing, like I would stare at a guy with really big muscles,etc.

Okay not to beat a dead horse (or use bad puns) but surveillance cameras are awesome:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS3wtNWUQy8&NR=1 (I love how the teenager still tosses aside the middle-aged rent a cop even after the fat bastard keeps pulling a gun on the teen).
More fat cops (beating an old woman, who looks like she is trying to move the guy away from the driver's side door so she can get the hell out of the car): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-_lonbU0Xw
But to close on a good note, here's what happens when soccer fans catch cops being bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXai8HNbIiI
That is all. Am playing hookey for the rest of the day.

That's true about any sport with a long regular season the meaning of which is diluted by extended playoffs. That is why the wild-card sucks, even though it allowed the sox to win the WS.
There is almost no reward for continued success through the season, especially with a 5-game series where you face only a team's three top starters.
the problem is worse in baseball, since even the best teams win only 60% of their games (compare to hockey and basketball, where the percentages are higher).
|
but with baseball the regular season actually matters because so few teams make the playoffs I don't see a problem with extending the 5 games to 7, but is that maybe a slippery slope to say 154 game season and another round of playoffs- 8 teams make it?
