If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left. With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left. But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
It's called the 401-keg. |

| I like Johnny Black myself. I saw an interesting show on one of the educational channels once where the barrels from Jack and Jim get disassembled and shipped to Scotland for the scotch to age in, as for proper scotch it has to be a once used barrel, so the American Whiskey makers can claim that Scotch has a little of their flavor as well! It is all good though! | |

On another subject - I tried Budweiser's new "American Ale" the other night, and it was pretty good. They are definitely trying to compete with the craft beers on the market, and I can honestly say they may have done this one right. Whatever your poison, enjoy it - but not on the bike! | |

My daughter did a semester of University in Edinburough,they call it the WIS (Wisconsin in Scotland) program. I took the family went over for 9 days to check it out. I tried quite a few single malts then. They are good.

I'm not a fan of Bud except for this...it is amazingly consistent from coast to coast..and that isn't the easiest thing to do given the differences in water/malt/etc. Bud's a pale clear beer that requires that the malt provides the right color and the lighter the beer, the less tolerance for error there is. These guys have it down to a science. Darker brews using higher color malts..[darker] allow for more forgiveness..blending lighter malts if the brew seems a little on the dark side. A-B did a great job on the Bud Light with Lime..really nice crisp warm weather beer. Single Malts remind me too much of the old days smoking peat moss thru the malt .... | |

| Never been a bud fan, bud light ok, but not bud, headache beer
Prefer the dark ales, Guinness is a favorite, especially after a week in Ireland, I drank a Guinness in every tavern we stopped at, he he.. and then some.
I agree on Single Malts, Islay is good a bit peaty,
Try and find some Dalmore Single Malt, got turned on to it in NYC, standing in a liquor store on the way back to the hotel, in the Grand Central, super good, and under $40 a bottle (you can get it under $35) they also make a Cigar Malt if you like bourbon and single malts this is kind of an homage to both, and it's good and heavy, great with a nice Maduro... | |

It goes great with almost any cigar (I wouldn't suggest pairing it with a Swisher Sweet  ,. Highland Park 18 year or a Macallan 15 year. | |

| Whisky is good. I prefer the single island malts, Islay and other isles. Just my taste.
On investments....
The boss had an idea. He asked us to form a focus group, gave us £500.00 for resources. We spent it on beer. Yes, the boss had a good idea. | |

I will drink others if the above are not available and YOU ARE paying
As for drinking and riding -- no way. The rod in my leg is from a sober accident, I'm not willing to try it drunk. Plus after 13 years of being a cop, I saw enough of the results of drinking and riding to convince me to walk, crawl or just pass out where I am before I get in or on anything that is motorized after drinking. SO -- your place or mine? It is FRIDAY NIGHT | |

| I am a wee bit miffed at my co-worker. He is Thai, and when we were working in Thailand, he was sent to the States for training, and he brought me back a bottle of Johnny Blue, which runs $200+ a bottle, even duty free. Now I have to return the favor somehow.
He said it is because I look after him, I gave him a set of ratcheting box wrenches, and brought him a new laptop bag, but I was just helping him out, the company paid for that stuff.
Anyway, a few friends will get together and help me drink it! | |
