I'm pretty damned hungry and have no plan and this thread is not helping and neither is this run-on sentence.

I think it might have to be spaghetti carbonara, which I learned to make from the virtuoso bassist Davie504.

I've cut back. Tomorrow.

I thought for sure we lost you on the expedition to declassify Pluto.

Once you get out there it's pretty boring, and the Voyager probes just natter away about the heliopause, so I headed back.

Also I ran out of crewmen to eat.

What we need is a Christmas Tree that turns into an air conditioner. Since both of those things are a giant pain in the ass to move in and out of position.

I don't have an ice maker. And I don't want to buy ice trays. But I'm pretty smart, and as I wandered the aisles of the Acme supermarket near me, I spotted plastic disposable shot glasses. Brilliant! I bought a sleeve, and now my freezer is stocked with half a dozen 2oz chunks of ice in the shape of...

Ramen noodles. But they're not disgusting.

I drank with him. Now I drink to him. As when other distinguished lights here have departed, I can say little of value. I bought Palinka a drink once, and he reminded me of his gratitude for that small gesture many times over, which seemed as undeserved as was the gracious way he extended himself to...

I usually stock a handle of their black label offering. There are better Bourbons to be had, but for the price HH has treated me very, very well.

I did some of my very first drinking as a guest of old head friends who had VFW memberships.

My first gig as a sin...

We should just have a numeric system for "the board ain't what it used to be" posts, so instead of "none of the old crowd comes around anymore," we can just post "3." Or instead of "you've all gone soft," we can post "5." I'm just making these numbers up. We can decide later what numbers stand for w...

That's news? I bought Beam last week. For around $25. Japan can overpay all they want for a glass of booze, but it won't taste any better.

But you are an "evil moderator"...

So, you admit that the errant post was indeed the work of a moderator!

I had the extreme pleasure of drinking with Tony during the Cons and from the start it was plain that this was a human cannonball of a man--a sort of gloriously bespectacled and goateed cannonball--ever in search of the gunpowder that would send him roaring into the night and lucky for him they sel...
