Article in the NYT today, and here's a picture of her.

[Photo omitted to save bandwidth]

They had this same photo online last night. When I saw it, I wondered how anyone could doubt that she was his daughter. The resemblance is uncanny.

She's a regular chip off the old block (well, except for that whole segregationist thing).

Translation: It's Slave's fault the stuff is so expensive.

Apparently, I drank the entire State of Washington out of Lagavulin, since every single restaurant was out of it when I was out in Seattle.

Not for nothing, I used to have a Yukon_Cornelius sock back on Infirm.

Oh, hell, I'm not gonna STOP.

I just mean, there's really no absolute measure of higher value of a single malt compared to a blend, unless it's simple scarcity.

Many single malts have a great taste, that is distinctive etc....
Single malts are good when you'll have 1 or 2 scotches, then switch to wine.

The only bad part of single malts is that 4 or more single malts equals a hangover. One can drink a good deal more JWBlack and be perky the next day. I'm not sure why a good blend equals no hangover, while single does, but its true.

My hostility is not limited to the people sending these pictures - they just happened to be the topic de jour at the moment. The credit card company solicitations, 1800 Victoria's Secret catalogs, student loan refinancing soliciatations and "10000 FREE WEB HOURS" AOL discs are just as maddening. I have a table covered in clutter. Its invasive. I miss paying bills because I'm overwhelmed by the piles of shit I get every day.

You can tell the three credit agencies (Experian, Trans Union and Equifax) that you do not want them giving your information to companies in response to requests you did not initiate. This essentially means that credit card companies and loan refi company's don't get your name for mailing lists from the three companies. Within a couple of months after submiting the request, the number of solicitations I get dropped to almost zero.

I will still be sending you pictures of my kids though, asshole.

Alright, I'll admit that I watched it. Looks like they picked the four straight guys who actually followed their advice. Nothing too exciting I guess... But it was gross to see that all the toys and clothes going to charity were being stored in a freaking shower stall. I'm sure the eventual recipients would have preferred a cleaner/less mold prone location.

Those staged "tips" throughout the show were highly annoying. The reunion show confirmed for me that this shark has been jumped (I had suspicions, but since I haven't watched this season I needed confirmation).

Yeah but did you watch the QESG "making the video" show and Celebrity Poker? It's all Bravo, all Tuesdays for me now.

For what it is worth, I thought the video and the show were pretty amusing; they confirm that Thom is the shit. Ted's handling of the wine bottles is pretty sweet though.

And on Celebrity Poker, I give worst move of the night to Mo for calling big bets with her pocket 8s with two overcards on the board. Improbably, Nicole played very well and if Hank Azaria or Michael Ian Black weren't going to win, I was thrilled that she did.

You should upgrade the old Avatar.

Simply untrue (and unsurprisingly so, given some of the things you say on the politics board).

But the key to avoiding hangover on any scotch is a lot of good, pure water (on the side, not in the damn drink people).

Sorry, I should have specifically addressed that to Sebby.

Nah. I'd trade 10,000 pjs and 5,000 NCSs for one paigow. Even if she's mayor of psycho city, which sits in crazy county, state of Wackafuckingdoo, she's clever and funny sometimes.

I'm with Skinny. Gotta love the Paigs.

Appreciated. And did I mention that your children are utterly adorable?

Of course. With so much scotch AND water, you'd hardly be able to taste the Pepsi.
