Thank god there's no "Badlands Northwest" or "Badlands Seaboard".

new blog post: glenlivet

"hell, why not?"

my roommate gave me a bit of whiskey so i'll drink it. here goes.

Muirium · 29 Jul 2014, 20:58

Ahem. It is "The Glenlivet". Not among my favourites, but a fair single malt. If you want a real kick, try Lagavulin. If your mate hasn't heard of it, give him an "Ach!" from me.

i dont care for scotch, except when it's free. he surely has, the bastard. always getting me to try these fancy scotches. this is the cheapest he's ever given me.

Tomatin's a nice highland one, not quite as well known. But if you really want to dare him, ask for a free shot of The Macallan 25. Costliest dram I've tried.

"The Glenlivet" is really good, I really enjoy it.

Daemon Raccoon · 29 Jul 2014, 21:39

I once managed to drink 2/3rds of a bottle of The Glenlivet in a single night. It was good.

Though malts aren't meant for it, they are softer on the heavy drinker's stomach than vodka or, ugh, rum. Nothing against the flavour, but the very word rum gives me flashbacks best forgotten.

i left my glass on the table and came back to find flies in it! what is this hell?! it's ok. i have some beam.

Agreed... shudder.

Muirium should start a blog about his secret second life as a nude drunk in Edinburgh.

It's a bit of a summer tradition here. Thankfully my turn was just before phone cameras turned ubiquitous. Phew…

webwit · 29 Jul 2014, 22:31

It's amazing to see videos of pubs, parties and shows before camera phones. People are like enjoying the moment, instead of registering it to place on facebook. Now get off my lawn.

In a while I might disable that emoticon so it defaults to text, and register a user "maverick", just to confuse people.

new blog post: box fort!

i'm building a box fort out of server boxes at work.

Madhias · 30 Jul 2014, 14:21

I'm gonna build a hardware fort out of old PCs, some Mac Pros (thick aluminium, solid), and some screens. Will be more stable than a box fort. The SGI O2 will be on top with a pirates flag attached to it! As basis some old servers, heavy bastards, some Compaq ML370. Will not be healthy with all this electronic dust!

Dog Owners Of My Blog: What are your dogs' names?

Madhias · 31 Jul 2014, 13:45

Nuri. Our dog is female, this name male, but we didn't know.

A friend's boisterous and quite large cat is called Charlie. That's a girls name in this case, apparently. I always consider it a claw happy dude, poised to strike when you least expect it.
