Beans, beans, the magical fruit. Post it here!

What is the whole thing about green beans, in a can? I mean, they're awesome, but I don't understand why fridays

It's an old in-joke that started back in the earliest days of the MDM Board. Use the search facility (top right of the screen) and have a poke about. The origins may still be around (but we lost a load of old posts back in the crash of '06 - believe it or not, I once had over 10, 000 posts to my name (which isn't to suggest that they were any good or that I am unhappy about losing them - I actually like that the Boards origins are a bit hazy and some things are lost to the mists of time; it makes the Board feel sort of like a legend)). Or you could ask frankennietzsche, he might remember...

Or reach out to the Molson Muscle. He might have a recollection. But he only seems to visit on Fridays if at all.

Another reason to be wary of beans, green ones, in a can:

Yep, at one time I believe that i had twenty five or thirty thousand posts. Makes one wonder how I had time to take a shower or mix drinks, ehh? But then, I've alway been a garrulous person of the female persuasion.

Mr. Viking, did you take your avatar pic? I've been searching high and low for a good Glenfarclas, all of them are either run of the mill, or far beyond my budget. The one in your pic is all but unavailable here.

I was on the phone with a friend of mine in the UK the other day, oddly enough, we were both in liquor stores. He sends me a pic of what he's looking at, half shelf, whatever, and it was like Valhalla. I sent him a pic of of a Bourbon middle shelf, and the result for him was the same. I guess it's a trade off. The stuff we glide past every day is a treasure elsewhere.

[Mr. Viking]

I didn't take the pic, but I do have the ten year old 105 which inspired me. Seeing as it is of a 40y/o bottle I shudder to think what the price would be, but I imagine somewhere towards £500 if it can even be bought.
I'm sure you've tried http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/B-40-Glenfarclas.aspx
Maybe not, just noticed they charge £32 per bottle delivery
http://www.masterofmalt.com/delivery/
have cheaper delivery and a good range, too

i can find almost no bourbon to buy. I can get Jim Beam, at around £20 a bottle, occasionally supermarket own brand bourbon, or very occasionally wild turkey at about £40-£50 a bottle. I did get Bulleit for £25 last year, and apparently buffalo trace was on offer here, but really it is very limited, especially as, in Scotland all the specialist shops deal almost exclusively in Scotch

When did post counts start to trump Joined-On Date Seniority as far as "regularity" at our e-bar here is concerned?

Errr...never. Go back and read our posts, on this thread, properly. Come to that, since when did we give a shit about joining senority?

Since day one as far as I new. We might've been an accomodating "bar," but nonetheless, New Guy Buys

Ohhh...Come on. Be serious...When did you actually get a real drink from a "new guy"? And, anyway, once that whole shite has been dealt with, when have we ever drilled a "newbie"?

Like I said, we're an accomodating group.

But how welcome would a person be if he walks into a neighborhood bar, starts shouting his ass off, and when the quiet regular in the corner speaks up he feels like his outspokenness gives him a right to shout that person down.

Who cares if that guy never talks, if he's occupied the same stool for 15 years, obviously there's a reason.

Been here a long time. Posted way much, even lots more than it looks like due to system failures. So, I say, it is time for salsa in the jar,( or homemade, if you are not a lazy bitch) with skinny chips, That's what I say. Salsa has all those fruit and veggie type vitamins. Plus, it is so Californican. And it is pretty and it goes nice with meat and beans and cheese and tortillas, and all the good food right-thinking Californicans love. Plus, it is spicy. Which wakes someone up, if they have been sleeping. So, good. Add some refried beans, so your colon can say "Hi!"

[Savage]

But someone needs to bring the tortillas. Because i forgot. And refried beans amd cheese. Quesadilla time!
