Well if you would ever unbend that damn elbow, fdoosey, it'd be a whole lot easier. :P

Can do, but won't. It keeps the drink too far away from the mouth. Although I suppose I could buy a Krazy Straw for that purpose.

Yeah, I'm gonna subscribe and get handful of back-issues, too...as soon as I get around to it.

But really, it's the only booze realated 'zine that isn't for pinky-raising snobs. You know those single-malt & cigar mags, the wine mags, the home brew ones..."ooh this has an aroma of freshly mowed lawn, a magnificent bouquet, and a slight melon-mint-charcoal aftertaste" Yeah, bullshit. MDM is where the rubber meets the road. None of that here, just a celebration of why people drink in the first place.

Hehehe...I actually used to subscribe to the Malt Advocate, one of those aforementioned snob mags. I'd consider myself a snob if I weren't so un-picky about what I drink. I'll bet few in that crowd drink Mad Dog or Schaefer or Heaven Hill Bourbon.

I like the more expensive stuff too, but I can't drink that stuff often. Still they do give pretty good explanations for the drinks.

I like MDM for the reasons jerryg gave - it's all about the trip to Drunkardsville. It doesn't turn its nose up at what kind of transportation you use to commute there, whether you're in a Rolls Royce of single malt Scotch or you've carjacked TJD or you took the Night Train Express. The point is that you get there.

Yeah.

That might be the most beautiful (and appropriate) metaphor I've ever seen. Cheers to you.

Hey, it just occurred to me that my metaphor combined drinking and driving.

I didn't mean for it to be so beautiful. Sometimes my best work comes when I'm not trying to work at all.

Yeah I'm they same way, I've got a MDM T-shirt but I still haven't gotten around to subscribing. Enough with putting it off! Next paycheck I'm going to do it.

By they way, how about some more merchandise to choose from?

You know, I subscribe but I never take them out of the envelope.

I'm one of those packrat/collector types.

Actually that's a great idea, I mean you can still read the articles on the website.

I saw that they'll have a glasswear category soon, I sure hope they have shot glasses. Be nice to add to the collection.

Ooh, yes shot glass set! I'd all over that like..... well.... anyone of us on booze ;)
