Weird perhaps?

[jburlowski]

Or try one of these.

[BrianBradford]

They better be non-toxic. Thats all im sayin!

[bourbonNOOG]

THAT'S THE ONE. Try a hotter bulb for best results.

I have put bourbon in my wife's simmering pot that she uses for room freshener. Makes the whole house smell like bourbon and it's tells me to go get a pour. Is this a problem???

[unclebunk]

I hate those damn things. Scented candles, too. I never understood why women think the way to freshen the air is to gag everyone with noxious perfumie candles.

It looks like you have figured a way to kill two birds with one stone.

My sister-in-law has literally driven me out of their house with those damned things. The last time I visited my brother there was such an overwhelming scent of vanilla in the air that I thought I was going to puke. WTF--just open a window if you need fresh air!

I completely agree. Fortunately looks like this may work in my favor. The wife won't know what hit her.

You come home from work, open the door and the smell of bourbon greets you with a smile. You kiss the wife hello, pour a glass of the good stuff and sit down with a cigar. The wife brings you a plate of bacon and bbq pulled pork. Wow.

Criminy, does your wife have a sister? :cool:

Don't jump too fast guys...Brian didn't say his wife ACTUALLY did that, it may just be a fantasy while he'd doing dishes :slappin:

I knew I should have started keeping the curtains closed sooner! :hot:

Ha ha!

[theDon]

Is this weird?

I keep a 50ml sample of out of production bottlings, rare bottlings or ones I really enjoyed. I label them with all the bottle info, including bar code numbers. I buy McCormick's vodka 50ml just for this purpose. Great, cheap bottles with secure caps and the bloody mary's ain't half bad either.

My name is Don and I think I may have a problem!

Think about it: Mark Twain was a bourbon drinker. H.L. Mencken was a bourbon drinker. 'Tennessee' Williams was bourbon drinker. Ditto, Williams Faulker. Walker Percy wrote a famed essay about bourbon.

Is this weird coincidence? I think not!:pope:

But, in the inimitable words of Noah "Soggy" Sweat:

"...But if, when you say whiskey, you mean the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and laughter on their lips and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer; if you mean the stimulating drink that puts the spring in the old gentleman's step on a frosty, crispy morning; if you mean the drink which enables a man to magnify his joy and his happiness and to forget, if only for a little while, life's great tragedies and heartaches and sorrows; if you mean that drink the sale of which pours into our treasuries untold millions of dollars which are used to provide tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our pitiful aged and infirm, to build highways and hospitals and schools - then certainly I am for it..." (Read the whole thing here: http://www.rdrop.com/users/jimka/whisky.html),

then, well, you're about normal.:skep:

In very few words....

Bourbon = yummy

[squire]

Ah yes, the wisdom of Judge Sweat. I only knew him socially but know lawyers who knew him intimately. The guy was a legend in his own time.

That's very cool that you knew him at all. The speech is just a wonderful piece. Did you ever see him deliver it? I guess he did so from time to time, once even on "The Tonight Show."

[squire]

Regrettably no, Chuck, I didn't. The first person stories I did hear were more about his skill as a raconteur. Apparently his wit and intelligence would shine even when speaking impromptu.
